Easy access to system volume control with your mouse wheel instead of from the system tray.
Are you tired of fumbling around with keyboard shortcuts to adjust the volume of your computer while you're in the middle of a video game or watching a movie? Enter Volumouse - the simple yet powerful program that lets you adjust your computer's volume with just a flick of your mouse scroll.
What's even better is that Volumouse is portable software, which means no more hassle with installations. Simply place the tool on a removable device like a USB flash drive, plug it into any computer, and voila - you can directly run the executable file without any changes to your Windows registry entries.
But enough about the technical details. Let's get to the good stuff. Volumouse boasts a clean and user-friendly interface that lets you select your mixer device to get started.
From there, you can establish your own rules for your mouse scroll, like specifying triggers (e.g. when the "Alt" key is down or when your favorite video player is focused), selecting the channels and number of steps, and more.
And if you're a power user, don't worry - Volumouse has got you covered with advanced rule options for left and right balance, specified application windows, and indicator settings like position and delay time.
But wait, there's more! You can even enable Volumouse to display an icon in the system tray, automatically run at system startup, run in high priority, save your current configuration for later use, and more.
The best part? Volumouse needs only a barely noticeable amount of system resources and has a lightning-fast response time. No errors, no freezes, no crashes - just a smooth and seamless user experience.
Now, we should note that there's no help file available. But let's be honest, with a program as intuitive and straightforward as Volumouse, you're not going to need one. So go ahead and give it a try - we highly recommend Volumouse to all users who want to take their volume control to the next level.
