I need a volume control (especially when using multiple applications with audio).

There's still no volume slider.

Is there a volume control? I couldn't find it.

Would be nice to have an independent volume control

evadne Sep 23, 2013 View on HN

I really miss per-application volume control (like in Windows).

Same issue for me! Unusable without volume control.

Why on earth doesn't that player have a volume control?

Maybe I'm missing something obvious - is there a volume control?

kyberias May 17, 2014 View on HN

I would use the volume control to control the volume.

In my opinion this is a software problem, you just need some automatic gain control (automatic volume adjust).
