Tatsh Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Does anyone know of a tool that will add a little UI to my task bar that I just click to change volume, like a Mac? Having Volume Control open all the time and having to switch is kind of a hassle. For some reason, no matter what computer and Windows version, when I click on the sound icon in the tray it takes like 5 seconds to load whilst on a Mac it's there the second you click it. I tried ZVolume, but that doesn't really cut it for me. Thanks in advance.

SilverZero Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Well it's not a software solution, but I have an MS Multimedia keyboard with volume control that works really well. Other multimedia keyboards probably have similar functionality. Another idea after a quick Google search: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/volumouse.html Good luck!

joe75 Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 In windows, if you single click the sound icon, it will pop up just like a mac You could unlock "Lock the Taskbar" and drag it to the top and it will pop down just like a mac Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/31450-volume-control-like-mac-but-on-windows/#findComment-218951 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatsh Posted October 29, 2006 Author Share Posted October 29, 2006 I have a keyboard that does that but it always feels like the intervals it goes up by are just too much, especially the ones on my laptop's keyboard (I use a regular keyboard when I sit at home on my laptop). Thanks guys. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/31450-volume-control-like-mac-but-on-windows/#findComment-219023 Share on other sites More sharing options...
