Comments and Reviews

   
Comment summary: Volume2 is praised for its customization options and the ability to adjust volume with a mouse wheel shortcut. Users find it more reliable than 3RVX, which has common issues like NET.FRAMEWORK errors and unexpected Start menu openings. However, some report stability concerns, such as the software freezing or getting flagged as malware by antivirus programs. Others mention it lacks a sound mixer feature compared to other volume control apps, and concerns about disabling UAC during updates.

Volume² is a good app, but it is not a complete replacement for the Windows volume controls.

This is because Volume² lacks the ability to assign the output of certain applications to a specific sound card, as Windows Sound Mixer can do.

This software caused occasional opening of Start menu in Windows 7 and because of that it was uninstalled from my system. Bye-bye.

Overall good but it is proprietary and I've noticed on every update/install it disables UAC on Windows which is quite concerning

Tried this as alternative to eartrumpet mostly because OSD which last do not have. But it is not alternative at all - bells and whistles rather than thing that let me in two clicks change the volume AND output device for exact running program.

There is a lot of customizability to this app! I change the volume using my scroll wheel, different customizable shortcuts for other things as well like brightness. Icon customizability too. It's not perfect, but damn does it do a whole lot. I'm impressed.
