How to Set a Different Volume Level for Each App on Your Mac
https://lifehacker.com/how-to-individually-control-audio-volume-for-every-app-1847455401
Not every app is built the same, especially when it comes to how loud they are. Your messaging apps may be too loud or your video app may be too soft. Changing the system volume, unfortunately, affects all your apps simultaneously.
Windows users have had the option to change individual app volume levels for years by going to System > Sound > Volume Mixer. Or using a free app like EarTrumpet that sits in your task bar to give you easy access.
Fortunately, there are third-party Mac apps that provide separate volume toggles for all your open apps.
FineTune: A free Mac app for per-app sound control
A free app that lets you lower or mute alert tones while maintaining media volume, FineTune is good enough for most people. It's open-source, and has a few simple sliders that let you control each app's volume level.
FineTune also has a convenient volume boost feature, which lets you increase the volume up to 400% on a per-app basis. This is good for files where the volume levels are almost inaudible, but I'd be choosy about how you use it.
You can also control the volume levels of each of your output devices (speakers, headphones, etc.), and an equalizer for each app on your computer. You can also send audio from one app to a specific speaker or headphone. I've used these features to lower my AirPods' volume while keeping my Mac's speaker louder, and to set a bass-friendly EQ preset on those AirPods. You can play around with these tools to get the job done according to your needs, too.
SoundSource: A paid app for advanced volume control
While most people will find the free FineTune app does everything they need, some might like the advanced features of the paid SoundSource app.
For example, you can send sound to multiple devices at once, like external Bluetooth speakers or AirPlay devices that may be in a different room.
It also has more advanced controls like setting keyboard shortcuts, such as increasing or decreasing your microphones volume or muting it altogether.
