Apps from app store really loud anyway to lower volume?

[Conman925]

The apps in the app store do not seem to have their own volume I can lower, the only one which lowers the volume of the app is speakers but that lowers everything else. Anyone know a way of doing so or is it impossible?

Unfortunately, there is no way of lowering the volume of individual Metro apps. This is by design.

"There is no audio mixer in this environment as there is in the desktop. It still exists for desktop applications, but your app won’t show up here because we felt it was not a great experience to pop out into desktop to adjust relative app volumes. Instead, we are encouraging apps to not include volume controls. This way users are focused on the master volume control which helps simplify the entire volume experience as well – but that’s a different story."
