Application-specific volume control that supports the keybindings you already use.
Designed for effortless music volume control (Spotify, Deezer, Chrome, Firefox, etc.) without disrupting gaming or VoIP audio.
Volume Control leverages the Win32 API to establish seamless native hotkeys, effectively superseding default Windows keybindings with imperceptible latency. Employing the same approach as the native Windows volume mixer, it offers compatibility with all applications.
Volume Control empowers users with an unlimited array of unique hotkey combinations, each fully customizable with specific actions. The default options include common actions like "Volume Up", "Volume Down", and "Toggle Mute". Furthermore, you have the flexibility to create and integrate your own custom actions in C# to enhance Volume Control's functionality.
Getting started is simple. Download VolumeControl-Installer.exe
from the latest release, and run it. It will guide you through the installation process.
If you prefer to use a package manager, you can use Winget to install Volume Control:
winget install radj307.volume-control
A basic usage guide is available on the wiki.
Download VolumeControl.exe
from the latest release and move it to a location of your choice.
Before starting the program for the first time, you have to unblock the executable from the properties menu.
This is necessary because Windows requires paying >$300 a year for a Microsoft-approved publishing certificate in order to prevent Windows Defender from blocking it.
If you're unsure, you can always run it through VirusTotal first, or check the source code yourself.
VolumeControl.exe
in the file explorer and select Properties in the context menu. All that's left now is to run the application.
