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.

Everything the Windows mixer forgot
Read the wiki →Scroll anywhere
Mouse wheel over the taskbar, a screen edge or the tray icon changes volume. Over a program’s taskbar button it changes just that program.
Global hotkeys
Bind any key combination to volume, mute, device switching or muting every microphone at once.
Three on-screen display styles
A skinnable panel, a plain track bar, or a text line you compose yourself. Skins can slide in like Windows 11 and stay sharp at any scaling.
See all 72 skins →Per-app & per-device
Control one application, the active window or a specific device. Hotkeys can target a chosen app, and the OSD shows its icon.

The playing track on the media keys
Play, Next and Previous show the cover, title and time. Click the OSD to pause, skip or seek, or drag its volume bar.
