Volume Concierge Description
After a hard day at work you might just want to relax for a while. However, most of the times it gets difficult with all the noise from either neighbors or even computer applications. Luckily, specialized software like Volume Coincerge give you the possibility to set computer volume to automatically adjust to your needs.
Lightweight and easy to use
Installing the application only requires about 2 Mb of free space on your hard disk drive and the amount of system resources is nothing to worry about. It spends most of its time hidden in the system tray so you only need to bring it up when changes are made.
All available features are cleverly stored in a compact and friendly interface. Info text is displayed, as well as an example so you get a glimpse what can be accomplished. Only a few options need to be set, which only take several seconds to adjust.
Good but far from being a pro
In order for the application’s features to take effect, rules need to be set. With the help of a power button, these can be created and only used on various occasions.
You can schedule a rule to trigger itself daily, on weekends or during work days. Additionally, time needs to be set by choosing the desired hour and minute from a drop-down menu. To finish setting up the rule, a slider indicates the volume percentage at which your system sound is adjusted to.
Unfortunately, once a rule takes effect you are only able to reverse the effect by manually adjusting the volume, due to the lack of a more advanced scheduler. Moreover, there is no implemented function that allows you to set volume for a particular application, changes affecting the overall system options.
In conclusion
To sum it up, Volume Coincerge wants to bring a new concept on the block, but only gets half the job done. Available features considerably limit it from being used while working, due to the lack of a possibility to have changes reversed automatically. It’s only good when you’re not sure whether or not you can make it until the end of a movie.
