That question refers to the master speaker volume, I wanted to control each application's volume – Vince2225 Apr 11 '15 at 09:39

That question is a starting point. What have you tried? – Peter Wood Apr 11 '15 at 10:24

You can do so with WinGuiAuto and the python for windows extensions.
You essentially open the Volume Control application and drive the control buttons etc programmatically. The application will normally show up on the Desktop, so that might be a problem for you.

Thanks for your answer, but I was trying to keep it in the background as this was the intention of the program. Do you know of a way that this could be done in the the background? – Vince2225 Apr 11 '15 at 09:38

1Some programs allow you to do that through some specific functionality ( I do that with filling in Excel sheets by driving excel from a Python app), others I use the normal interface and AFAIK that is what you need to do for the volume mixer (or look for direct volume control without going through the mixer functionality, but I have never tried that, I only did change the output device via the interface) – Anthon Apr 11 '15 at 09:53
