Setup still not ideal, but easy enough if you just take a minute to look at options pulldowns and decide how you want to adjust volume (ie. with which keys/mouse or combo). In my case I set it up to use alt-scroll to adjust volume and on the second line, I selected hotkeys and set it up to use f9 and f10 for up down volume. Nice. I love it. Many thanks to Nirsoft (developer).

I wonder how did i managed before Volumouse. It must be the most obvious innovation. To the developer a BIG Thank You! Excellent piece of software. Ease of use, it does exactly what it supposed to do.

Just another 'one feature' program, I even miss some options... There are better, more complex and still easy to use programs. E.g. HotkeyP - you can set ANY mouse/keyboard shortcuts for master volume, wave, line in... and even bass and treble! You can set also several actions at once. There are also lot of other great features, try that.

Installed it and then found that there was no particular configuration of it to suit me, and no improvement over other ways to control volume anyway.

I find my self reaching for the volume control to adjust just a few decibels and never thought twice about until I tried this excellent audio control utility. The interface might seem a little intimidating at first glance but in general just roll your mouse roller and your volume adjusts as well. The program installs an icon in the Notification area (lower right group of icons) simply hover your mouse and roll up or down and your volume will adjust accordingly. This program also offers the ability to fine-tune how you want to interface with the utility. So this is a great program for the advanced as wells as the novice. I use this program so much that when I am not on my own computer I find myself looking for the Volumouse icon.

I have used other freeware progs like this one but no where near as feature rich and easy to use. Nice new interface in v1.20. Looks the goods.

I really like this program. I have it configured so that I can change the volume by holding down the right-alt key while I use the mouse scroll. If you use it for games, make sure to change the "Indicator Type" to NONE, or else it will try to show the volume slider and may take you out of your game. Works perfectly in every game and program I've tried it with (Republic Commando, Warcraft III, media player ...). I've had no problems with it.

I found Volumouse handy, especially when combined with KatMouse (because I used to enable the setting to have the volume adjusted when the cursor was over the task bar, which KatMouse helped facilitate without hassle). Ultimately, though, I removed KatMouse, and Volumouse conflicted with too many applications, no matter how I configured it. I went back to Sound Control, which has a much-better OSD anyway, and greater configurability.

A real handy little utility, no more need to keep reaching & fumbling for the volume control. Give it a try.
