Support to control Winamp with a series of hot keys and an On Screen Display is also included.

    A really cool utility, which is less prone to conflict than the other utility of the same genre, NirSoft Volumouse. (I do wish that Sound Control had mouse wheel support though...)

    Sound Control also has a much more configurable and better-designed on-screen display (OSD) than does Volumouse.

    I recommend using Sound Control's high-priority option. Doing so will let you easily control the volume, even if some other application is hogging the CPU. Sound Control (SC.EXE) won't use much CPU, even at high priority, so there's no real performance hit.

    I love this utility, even though I use it only to adjust my master volume. Being able to change or mute the volume with a simple key combo, and having the on-screen display, is pretty neat. The OSD sometimes causes whatever is behind it to be a bit corrupted once it disappears, but that could be a video driver issue, I guess.

    Reviewing 1.99a Beta (Aug 12, 2001)

    I've been using this program pretty much for over a year (been reccomending it to people) as to disprove the 1.90 has been out for ages. look at the version. 1.90a (the little A) he's fixed a few bugs, and this sofware shouldn't be freeware for what it does.

    I also think that's a great program. With my sound card directly linked to my loudspeakers (whithout amplifiers), hot keys are very usefull.

    Just 1 comment to Beta News : the 1.90 release is available since march !!
