Can anyone suggest a good, simple utility that provides hotkey volume adjustment?

I have a keyboard that has hotkeys for adjusting volume up and down, mute, play, pause, next track, etc. for media control. However, my mouse and keyboard are connected to a KVM and those key combinations no longer work when connected via the KVM. I've inquired with other owners of the same KVM and it seems that this is a problem only with the keyboard I am using.

So, anytime I want to adjust the volume I have to fiddle with the volume controls in Win 11.

Does anyone have a simple utility that they can suggest providing such basic functionality? Even if the only thing it provided was vol up / down / mute I would be happy.

I've downloaded Volume2, checked security etc, from here but had no time to play with it. Might work for you?

That looks promising. Thanks. Will give it a try.

Volumouse provides you a quick and easy way to control the sound volume on your system - simply by rolling the wheel of your wheel mouse.

nircmd could do what you want (and 50 other things too).
