Audio Device Switching in Win10 FCU

Hi All,

I just recently updated to Windows 10 Fall Creators Update via clean windows install.

Does anyone know how to re enable this?

Now, if I click on the sound icon in the taskbar, I get the classic mixer

I just like that audio playback device quick switch feature.

Open up the registry editor, and navigate to the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\MTCUVC

If MTCUVC doesn’t exist inside the CurrentVersion key, right click CurrentVersion and click New > Key, and call it MTCUVC.

Then, right click on the MTCUVC key, and select New > DWORD (32-bit) value.
Call it EnableMtcUvc, double click it, and set its value to 1.

Log off, and log back on again. You should now see the Metro-style volume control, as you had it before. Just personally verified this on my Windows 10 FCU system.

If you’re confused, here’s how things should look when you’re finished:

Instead of having to click through to another place for basic info.
