How can I increase Skyrim's Volume?

Question

Compared to every other program on my PC, Skyrim is nearly deathly quiet by comparison. I looked into the in-game sound menu, but it's already cranked to max!

Is there anything I can do to avoid having to double my system volume settings each time I want to play Skyrim?

Answer

If you're on windows 7 (I think Vista as well?), try the following:

1. While Skyrim is running, alt-tab back to your desktop.
2. Click the volume icon in the system tray, then click "mixer".
3. In there, there are separate settings for each application currently running.
4. Move Skyrim's slider higher, and it should raise the volume relative to your other applications
