Hi Larry, I wrote an app called Power Mixer Enhance which improves the accessibility of a third-party mixer, which is reasonably priced. The third-party mixer, Power Mixer, allows you to assign hot keys to most, if not all, of the various sound devices. You can even assign hot keys to application-specific windows. As for the individual session windows of, say, Internet Explorer, since they don't persist in any meaningful way, you can't assign hot keys to these. But, at least you can adjust application volumes when they open. I suggest installing my app, and reading the supplied documentation, which provides info on where to get the app, and, at least at the time I wrote my app, the ability to get a 30 percent discount if you say you're blind. The URL to my app page is:

When bringing up the volume adjustment panel, and after loading numerous Web radio streams, as well as volume settings that show up for pre advertising and such, I find it quite frustrating to have to tab through the numerous settings, which may also include volume settings for other apps such as Total Recorder scheduler, which always runs in the background, and Thunderbird, and maybe others that I have forgotten. OK, honorable mention also has to go to settings for my sound card, as well as Windows sounds themselves. Now, what I really want to know. Is there any way to either remove some of these controls that have outlived their usefulness for the session, or lacking that ability, to arrange the settings to be adjacent to one another so I wont have to tab through all of them to locate the right one. Right now, I seem to have no choice but to try either turning up or down or muting each separate control, as in trial and error. There has got to be an easier way to work through all these separate controls. Any ideas? Any help with this one will be greatly appreciated, Larry _______________________________________________ Any views or opinions presented in this email are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of Ai Squared.
