The volume control Windows should have shipped.

Volume² is an advanced Windows volume control that works as a complete replacement for the standard one. It gives you easy to configure keyboard hotkeys and mouse actions for changing the system volume, and lets you schedule sound configuration changes or the launch of applications.
