Volume2 - A logarithmic volume controller for Windows

in the past i used winamp as audio player, i really loved it but after justin frankel sold it/left the company (can't remember) i tried to move to open source software and picked foobar2000.

the thing i really missed was the logarithmic volume controller. one big issue of all modern devices (mp3 player, mobile phones, computers, ...) is the missing of a logarithmic vc. most of the time "volume 1" is much to loud if you want to listen to music to sleep... a logarithmic vc is a much better way to fine tune your desired volume.

today i found volume2 (i was searching for a mixer alternative) and then noticed that i can choose logarithmic as control method. soooo awesome.

Volume2 Options Logarithmic

additionaly it can define two audio devices which both can be controlled with it. i picked the same audio device for both, the audio device and the alternative audio device. the clue is that i can pick different targets to change the volume for. so i have choosen "Actice application" for one and "System" for the other. now i click on one application and with win + mouse wheel i can change the volume for this application and also can use my volume wheel on my keyboard to change the complete system volume.

Volume2 Options Alternative Device
