    One thing people should know about this device: It gets software updates very sporadically to the point where it seems like the seller has abandoned updating the software. Also, customer service for any issues you might have seems to be extremely lacking. The official subreddit for the device is filled with people having issues.

    "EarTrumpet" is definitely a huge improvement on the windows audio mixer. But in some circumstances you have the same issue where you have to tab out of a full screen application in order to access it.

    You can access app-specific volume controls in the overlay when you click windows-g buttons, which I think you should be able to access even from full screen applications as well. Not as tactile or easily reachable, but a lot less disruptive than having to go into the start menu at least

    Although its a little bit more, I couldn't recommend the TurnUp Volume Mixer more. $80USD, it does 5 knobs and has buttons that allow you to setup different 'folders' for control. I have mine set to control Main, Discord, Browser, Current Application (Fullscreen Games), and Cider Apple Music. Clicking the button then goes into the folder I setup for that application. If I press the Discord button the lights change indicating that I am in a different workplace and I have macros setup for Mute and Deafen. This hardware paired with EarTrumpet on the Microsoft Store have solved all my audio balancing issues.

    Have you considered using Voicemeeter? Way more versitile and not dependant on any specific hardware. You can map pretty much any function to any key and even Midi-Devices, if you like knobs for volume control. If you pair that with something like Autohotkey you can not just replicate the functionality of this thing, but do pretty much anything - as basic or in-depth as you want. I know it's not as quick and easy to set up as this, but it's absolutely worth it. I've been using both for years and they have completely changed the way I use and interact with my pc.

    To anyone interested in this product just be aware that the creators of PC Panel don't provide any updates to their customers for orders placed or customer support. Some people placed their orders and didn't receive them until months after and only got back radio silence from the team. Others have complained about receiving defective products and the constant theme based on the comments on their socials is that this is a great product but the creators may have overwhelmed themselves with more than they could handle since each PC Panel is made to order. I just ordered mine and I'm just hoping I'll get it sometime this year. Disappointed that so many others have had negative experiences, it's a shame.

    Let me tell you something... Xbox game bar is the most underrated app on windows. I use it all the time. It opens up on an overlay over anything you are doing on your pc and doesn't interrupt or conflict with anything. There is a sound panel widget built in and you can access sound controls easily from that menu. There is also a Spotify widget so you can almost do everything that spotify hardware device can do. It's a Spotify media control widget. Ironically there is no general media control widget. You can be in the middle of a game and open game bar without having to exit anything, gamebar overlays on top of anything, it's like a separate exploror.exe instance. I made game bar a dedicated button on my mouse. You can take screenshots easily, there's even a type of task manager you can end programs with. it's like a virtual desktop you can make appear on top of your desktop. you can pin any widget to the screen when you turn off game bar overlay to keep it on screen. I wish there were more widgets for it. I bought a beacn mix to do exactly what your device does, and I use xbox game bar sound control instead once i discovered it. The best thing is that Game bar sound controls will allow you easy access to the other app volumes because you only have 4 dedicated knobs.

    This thing looks cool and has some great functionality, but changing volume per application isn't a ting you have to exit games to do. It's a feature built in to Gamebar, so a simple WIN+G gets you there. If the PC Panel Mini had support for other OSs, or if you really want the extra functionality it's a great looking solution. But if all you want is to not have to go to desktop to adjust volume, that's a feature built into Gamebar, which comes with Windows.

    I have been using Ear Trumpet for a while.
    Works like the windows 7 volume mixer, easy, reliable and uses zero resources.
    That if you want a software solution to the problem

    This is exactly what I'm looking for. Although I prefer sliders, this is a really good small form factor which I think is better for a cleaner setup.

    Please tell me you are working on a desk setup walkthrough. Love your setup. You mind me asking what speakers those are? Been looking for some that I can attach to my standing desk and I love this setup.

    I stumble upon this video when I was searching for a solution regarding my headphones razer nari. As I found, that headphones are discontinued and are no longer being made (I can still find some on amazon, but I gotta choose one from the store I bought as the credit is for their store). That headphones had one of the best features I ever found by chance that no other headphones has, that is the ability to control audia channels. For example, windows audio was tagged as gaming (so, alerts, youtube, anything that came from windows basically...) and discord was configured to output on the same devide but on a different channel, communication. This was amazing where I could boost up the discord and at the same time, tune down all other sounds, including any game (without having to configure individually each game). This device seems like it can do the same (however, I would have to reach for 2 knobs instead of one as it was on the headphones). Do you know if it's possible to achieve that with the software present, or I'll have to configure manually each application?

      fyi Steelseries headsets have 2 wheels: one for game, one for chat. Sidenote: some models the "chat" is for sidetone only, those are mainly for PlayStation (but the work fine on PC, you just lose the chatmix).

    Well, I suppose the selling point is out-of-the-box convenience. Because a regular midi controller for DAW combined with some open-source software for desktop integration would have way more knobs and faders for the same price or, alternatively, cheaper for the same amount of control.

    I started building something similar to this with an Arduino but never finished it. I ended up coding a windows mixer plugin for Stream Deck instead. I can say one thing, aesthetically, this is much nicer than anything I would have built lol.

    where does this sit in the chain, in terms of a setup with an audio interface? Would I use the audio interface main volume output to control the overall monitor and main output mix, then use this to mix applications? Currently I have an audio interface that outputs into an analog mixer and use the stereo outputs of the audio interface into individual channels so i can physically control channels on the mixer fader. Trying to slim down my setup without losing the functionality.

    There is also an amazing free software called "MIDI Mixer". It basically allows you to use any MIDI Device to manage you volumes and other things! For Example i got the KORG nanoKontrol 2 and it made my life so much easier, beeing able to change music or Discord volume while beeing ingame is so good.

    a better and cheaper solution is using VoiceMeeter and a Midi controller.
    I for example use the korg nanokontrol 2.
    Which then let's me control all the sliders, knobs and buttons in VoiceMeeter
