Unlike Windows 10, Windows 11 does not have a full-fledged volume mixer on the taskbar. If you want to access the volume mixer, you need to right-click on the volume icon and go to the Settings app, where you can find the option to change the volume of the selected application or game.
Thankfully, the third-party application "EarTrumpet" is a very convenient application for Windows 11. It brings the original volume mixer back to the taskbar and gives you greater control over all the audio-playing applications on your computer. With EarTrumpet, you can control the audio levels of all active applications.
EarTrumpet was recently updated for Windows 11 and is now even faster. According to the release notes, EarTrumpet won't take up your memory, and it will run better on low-end hardware. In addition to faster performance, there are several other bug fixes.

For example, the developers of EarTumpet fixed the context on Windows 11 when ShyTaskbar (the codename for the mini-taskbar) is enabled Menu not working issue.

This update also fixes the "fly-out" flight effect not respecting the system on Windows 11 or Animation issues with theme settings.
Here is the full changelog:
- Windows 10: Fixed the appearance of pop-ups with Light Mode enabled.
- Fixed animation not respecting correct system settings.
- Updated GIF library to reduce memory usage.
- Reduce the use of Acrylic slowdown solutions.
