VolumeBalancer

When using multiple applications that generate sound, it can be difficult to manage them even with the Windows volume mixer, as it may be necessary to change the audio level of a specific process without altering the system volume.

VolumeBalancer is an open-source application that can help you ensure the volume of a certain program is balanced in comparison to every other process. It can be very helpful if you listen to music while performing other tasks.

First and foremost, you need to select the focus program – you will be able to control its volume in comparison to all other applications, as well as increase or decrease it using global shortcuts.

We found the utility to be especially useful when listening to music while performing other tasks. If your music is too loud, you can lower the volume with a single key press without altering the volume of other applications in the process.

Once you have downloaded the program, simply unpack the archive and run the executable file. In order to select the focus application, you can either browse to its path or choose from one of the running processes.

You can increase or decrease the volume of the focus application using the slider, but it is much more convenient with keyboard shortcuts; these are fully customizable.

After configuring everything, just close the main window to send the application to the system tray. You can still control the volume while it is running in the background, and it is even possible to customize the color of the tray icon.

Overall, VolumeBalancer is a useful program for those who have trouble managing multiple applications that generate sound. It can help you balance the volume of multiple processes, and it is quite easy to configure.
