Volume2 VS AutoHotkey

If you need to quickly switch from X3 to other device (MB + speaker) there is the Volume2 app, since Win11 sound/volume settings are a mess.

If you've ever used digital encoders with Creative products, you may have noticed that it's only possible to adjust the overall volume by changing the volume of the "What U Hear" recording device. While some solutions like Volume2 have been suggested, I struggled to find the right settings in there.

HideVolumeOSD or for even more control Volume²

Volume keys doesn't show a visual response: This is because an update from apple software update for windows. You can disable updates, in my case I've installed Volume2, works great and it has a skin to mimic apple and windows 11 appearance.

You will want to seek out and install a third-party tool like Volume2 to take over system-wide volume slider control and redirect the shortcuts/media keys to adjust the "What U Hear" recording device level instead of your default output device (which should remain unchanged/normal).

Yep I wanted the same thing and was able to do it. I used Volume2 and chose the skin that looks like the default windows volume osd. I also have HideVolumeOSD running like someone else mentioned but I don't think that's actually necessary with Volume2.

Try this: Volume2

Try Volume2, maybe you'll find what you need there. For example, I use the volume control by scrolling the mouse wheel over the tray, with a beautiful indicator, and the percentage of sound is displayed in the tray.

All you have to do (other than have autohotkey installed) is

But, if you just install AutoHotKey, you can run these two scripts to select a first and a second dictionary: Select Dictionaries Zipfile

You could try (and I have no affiliation with) http://autohotkey.com - then allocate the key to something like ctrl-F13 (often unused - but reachable via sending system keystroke).

Honestly, it's a bit silly of autohotkey.com to have such strict protections, especially on its downloads. You may be able to workaround by using the github releases instead which are far less restrictive.

try out autohotkey.com

autohotkey.com Go to the ahk website, click download, then choose 'Download v1.1 (deprecated)'
