Yes, I wrote an add-on for that - it's called Tony's enhancements.
Once you install it you can adjust NVDA volume by pressing
NVDA+Control+PageUp/PageDown.

Joseph,
           I believe I've asked you this before, and I apologize for needing to ask again.  I have another machine that I just updated from NVDA 2019.2 to NVDA 2019.3.1.  I also intentionally removed and reinstalled Add-On Updater.  All other extant add-ons are incompatible with 2019.3.1, and I know this.
           Add-on Updater did activate yesterday, but before I did the 2019.3.1 update to NVDA.  I am curious to see what it does with all the incompatible add-ons, but when I invoke NVDA today it is not coming up to check them.  I know there is some mechanism that keeps it from checking again for a certain period of time since we've discussed this before.
            I have looked in settings and the settings specific to Add-on Updater, but I'm not seeing a button or other control that would force it to do a check for updates now.  Does such exist, and I'm missing it?  If so, would you please describe where it is and how to invoke it?

Hi, John,
Go to the voice menu with NVDA insert V. You’ll be in the voices menu. Tab until you hear volume. If it’s at 100 percent, use the left arrow to lower it.
Hope this helps.

Hi all.
Pretty straightforward question, can it be done? I'm listening to some
fairly faint videos so I have to crank my volume up. I lower the volume
of my synth with the ring, but NVDA's sounds, e.g. going in and out of
focus mode, are still pretty loud in comparison to everything else. I
suppose I could just turn that sound off if it comes down to it, but I
figured I'd find out if I'm missing something obvious first.

I don’t know if system sounds would have any bearing on the volume of
these sounds, though I doubt it.  These aren’t system sounds, they are
NVDA sounds.  I tried Rosemary’s suggestion and I found it both lowers
the volume of speech and of the kinds of sounds being asked about so
it appears that will solve the problem.  You may want to remember the
current number of the NVDA sounds settings so you can set it to the
same volume again if you wish.

                Hi

You could try switching off the focus change sounds in NVDA settings,
NVDA will then announce focus changes verbally.  Alternatively, you
could turn down System sounds in the Volume Mixer app.

Cheers

Hi all.

Pretty straightforward question, can it be done? I'm listening to some

fairly faint videos so I have to crank my volume up. I lower the volume

of my synth with the ring, but NVDA's sounds, e.g. going in and out of

focus mode, are still pretty loud in comparison to everything else. I

suppose I could just turn that sound off if it comes down to it, but I

figured I'd find out if I'm missing something obvious first.

Jesse,

           Thank you very much, and, yes, it helps a lot.   I feel really, really foolish when I know I've actually checked that menu, but stopped scanning at the Manage Add-Ons item, and activating it.

           Having that option in the Tools menu makes perfect sense, but if there is a way to duplicate it via button in the actual Add-Ons Manager settings I think that would be a good idea as well.

            But I've given myself a big ol' dope slap on this one!!

Hi, John,

Go to the voice menu with NVDA insert V. You’ll be in the voices menu. Tab until you hear volume. If it’s at 100 percent, use the left arrow to lower it.

Hope this helps.

I have never seen this when Browse mode is on.

Thanks.

The question needs more discussion.  Is this a problem with new versions of NVDA, perhaps after the change to the new version of Python or has it been going on for some time?  and is thisw a very limited problem or more widespread?  Also, does it only affect Windows 10 users or other users?
