Time Volume

Not everyone appreciates your taste in music, especially not your neighbors late at night. Sure enough you might forget to adjust the PC volume after a specific hour. In case you don’t want to get into trouble or cause some, then Time Volume gives you the possibility to set up a timer to have volume automatically adjusted.

The application doesn’t take you through a setup process and you can take it for a spin as soon as download is done. This also means that you can easily carry it around on a thumb drive to use it on other computers besides your own. Moreover, registry entries remain intact during the whole operation, and doesn’t have an impact on the target PC’s health status.

All the application has to offer can be found in a pretty compact main window, but doesn’t pose any accommodation problems whatsoever. The timer is clear and easy to configure, with additional slides and drop-down menus to fine tune the process. When done, it can quietly sit in the tray area and automatically adjust the volume from there.

There’s only one method to set a timer, and this means starting from the moment you hit the trigger button. You can set the hour and minutes for the countdown timer, while a drop-down menu helps you set the new volume level in percentage. There’s an additional option you can use to trigger a second action, such as minimizing to tray area, or starting the screensaver.

Sound is automatically adjusted once the timer is put in motion. Sadly, there’s no hotkey support to instantly set the volume to a predefined value. However, it is possible to assign a hotkey to the program’s shortcut to start it with little effort later on.

To sum it up, Time Volume is a straightforward timer you can use to have level of decibels automatically adjusted to an acceptable value after a specific amount of time. It could have used hotkey support for instant trigger, or a scheduler for adjustment according to time of day, but it’s sure to come in handy.
