Hi, is there a sound mixer app that works well on mac that I can use? Unfortunately, macOS does not offer this possibility, unlike Windows. I want to turn down the volume of the Zoom application and increase the volume of Chrome, but when I turn the volume down from the Zoom application, it also turns down the main volume of the computer. I tried Background music but it deletes itself when I download it and does not work.

Audacity is an app for mixing sounds from various sources rather than controlling the relative volume level of individual applications.
For that there's the free:
https://github.com/kyleneideck/BackgroundMusic
and the paid:

If you're going for the freebie note the comment on using it with Big Sur.

Hi ineedhelp027,
Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you want to adjust the volume for different applications and we are happy to help! We recommend that you use the App Store to search for sound mixer apps, see Download apps from the App Store on your Mac. Please also note that, “If you use apps that have volume controls (for example, Music or iMovie), their settings can only be equal to or less than the computer’s output volume. They do not override the settings you choose in Sound preferences.” For additional information check out the Apple Support article Change the sound output settings on Mac.
Have a good day.
I was going to try Audacity, but differed to Sound Control for routing around as I didn't need a full on mixer for other things, more a router to control the different programs such as Zoom or Safari separately. It's working great.
you can have a look at Audacity. it works pretty good. and it's free so no harm in trying it if it doesn't work like you need it to.
Hello, I saw you posted about Audacity, it seems like it is much more than what I need to control application sound, is it easy to use for what I want to do; just controlling apps sounds? Thank you
