AudioSphere
Remember those old top-loading VCR's - with no remote, no on-screen programming, no VCR-Plus, and no fast-forward button - that were more cumbersome than they were functional? Compare those old relics with today's best and you'll perhaps be able to envision the difference between the antiquated "volume control" utility built into ALL versions of Windows (even Windows ME and Windows 2000) unchanged and unimproved since it first shipped with Windows-95 (version one!) way back in 1995--and today's new-technology replacement: AudioSphere! In its "maximized" form, AudioSphere's compact design occupies only a minimal amount of desktop real estate--and when minimized, it's only one click away. As you can see from the screenshot, AudioSphere not only incorporates all the most useful functions of the old Windows "Volume" utility, but also offers four one-click presets, convenient "bass-treble" and "balance" adjustments, a channel inversion option (to reverse left-right stereo channels), one-click muting, one-click "normalization", and more - even a user-configurable analog clock! Our Review: Oooh! This is quite good! For many a year I've struggled on with the standard Windows audio control and I must say that this is a definite improvement! AudioSphere starts a little window down by the taskbar that lets you control the volume by simply pushing the hotkeys or moving the slider. You can also move the slider left and right for balance control. It comes with heaps of skins and can sound alarms at certain times, normalise mp3's and heaps more. Recommended.
