Sound Mixer is a per-application volume control utility for Windows, published by Get it Simple and currently available in version 0.15.10, one of four recorded versions of the software. Falling within the audio and sound management category, the program is designed to give users granular control over the loudness of individual applications running on their system, rather than relying solely on a single master volume setting. Its central purpose is to let users adjust per-application and system volume levels quickly and conveniently, making it useful in situations where several programs produce sound at once and need to be balanced against one another. Typical use cases include lowering the volume of a game or browser while keeping a voice chat application audible, muting a single noisy program without silencing the entire system, or fine-tuning the overall system output alongside individual sources. The software offers three distinct methods of interaction to accomplish this. First, it provides an always-on-top overlay that remains visible above other windows, allowing volume adjustments without switching away from the active application. Second, it includes a tray menu, enabling quick access to mixing controls directly from the Windows system tray area. Third, it supports global hotkeys, so volume changes can be made from the keyboard regardless of which program is currently in focus. This combination of an overlay, tray-based access, and keyboard shortcuts makes the tool adaptable to different workflows, whether a user prefers on-screen controls, discreet background access, or hands-on-keyboard operation. As a Windows-focused solution, Sound Mixer addresses a common need for more precise audio management than the default operating system controls typically provide, centralizing per-application and system volume handling into a single lightweight interface. With four versions released and the current release standing at 0.15.10, the software reflects ongoing development by its publisher, Get it Simple.
