Tray-App to control the volume of selectable audio devices. Bonus: VB-audio-Matrix integration

Settings Page

YZ-Volume is a sophisticated audio control utility for Windows, designed for power users who need fast, granular control over their system's audio devices. It provides a sleek, modern UI that lives in the system tray and offers advanced integration with VB-Audio's powerful Matrix software.

This application was built to solve the workflow limitations of standard Windows audio controls, providing a centralized and highly configurable hub for complex audio setups.

• System Tray Integration: Runs quietly in the system tray, providing instant access via a single click.
• Multi-Device Control: Adjust the "base volume" (mmsys.cpl level) for all your selected Windows audio devices (speakers, microphones, etc.) from one place.
• Modern, Minimalist UI: A clean, dark-themed, and borderless widget that feels like a native part of the Windows 11/10 UI.
• Advanced VB-Audio Matrix Integration (Opt-In):
  • Preset Selector: Switch between your saved VB-Audio Matrix presets directly from the main UI.
  • Dynamic Slider Generation: The UI automatically rebuilds itself to show the specific channel sliders relevant to your active preset.
  • Multi-Crosspoint Control: A single slider can control the gain of multiple crosspoints simultaneously.
  • Absolute & Relative Control: Use the main slider to set absolute dBGain values, or use the + / - buttons to nudge the gain of all associated crosspoints relatively, preserving your mix.
• Highly Configurable:
  • Choose exactly which Windows devices and Matrix sliders are visible.
  • Assign custom, user-friendly names to all devices.

• Windows 10 or 11
• .NET 8 Desktop Runtime (Download the "x64" version under the ".NET Desktop Runtime" section).
• (Optional) VB-Audio Matrix for advanced VBAN integration.
