Which OS are you running? It sounds like you're running OS9, but I'll tell you
how to in both 9 and X.
In OS9, you can have the sound in the Control Strip. Go to Control Panel ->
Control Strip and turn on the control strip. I don't have an OS9 machine handy
right now, but I believe that the sound should be in there by default. If not,
look in the Control Strip and Sound preference and see if there's any option to
Show in Control Strip.
In OSX, in the Sound preference pane, check the box where it says Show in
Menubar.
Another handy thing would be to get a newer model of Apple keyboard that has
the volume buttons in the upper right hand corner. Any keyboard after about
2001 will have them.
Hope that helps!

Just started to use my "new" iMac G3 and one of the several annoying items is
the sound volume that I can only adjust by opening up the Control Panel : Sound. Now
that's a real pain in the studio to always have to adjust the playback levels when using
midi/audio applications.
Is there an application that will place an "control" in the menu bar to allow
adjusting the sound playback levels ?
Thanks, sorry forgot to say that i am keeping this iMac G3 at OS 9 for
the legacy midi/audio programmes i at one time used: many of those have
features never ported to the OS X world.
The Control Strip will work ( forgot about that one ) and for sure will
test one of my newer Apple keyboards and hopefully that keyboard will
work in OS 9.
