Volume² includes options for quickly changing your machine's volume via the mouse wheel, hotkeys, or by placing your mouse cursor at the edge of the screen. You also get an audio mixer, a scheduler, on-screen displays, command line use, and unlimited presets that are easily configured.
Volume² really brings a ton of cool little features (that should already be there), letting you control your sound experience without taxing your machine's resources (approx. 2MB of RAM with less than 0.2% of CPU usage when active).
For those looking to get more out of your audio, Volume² will be a welcomed app for managing sound.
