I'm looking for a freeware application, that allows assigning shortcuts for changing and muting sound volume. I've tried some apps, including Wirekeys, Sound Control and some more, but they don't work properly in Windows 7. They change volume for themselves but not for other applications. All I could find is Volumouse ( http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/volumouse.html ), but currently it involves mouse wheel to control volume. Is there any such application, that is freeware, does not incolve mouse, and works properly in Windows 7? My UAC is on.

This may not be the best solutuion, but you could use that progam you had and then somehow map keyboard functions to scroll wheel functions. just a thought.

So close yet so far, you are looking for NirCMD, it can directly set the volume or mute via command line. Mouse Wheel Not Required.

Increase the system volume by 2000 units (out of 65535) 	nircmd.exe changesysvolume 2000
Decrease the system volume by 5000 units (out of 65535) 	nircmd.exe changesysvolume -5000
Set the volume to the highest value 	nircmd.exe setsysvolume 65535
Mute the system volume 	nircmd.exe mutesysvolume 1
Unmute the system volume 	nircmd.exe mutesysvolume 0
Switch the system volume between the mute and normal state. 	nircmd.exe mutesysvolume 2
