I strongly disagree with the current volume key settings in Windows. The 2% stepping and delay feel unnecessarily slow, and the 'volume acceleration' effect makes adjustments seem less responsive over time. I’m searching online for ways to modify these properties, but so far nothing seems available. Anyone have suggestions or alternatives?
I already have an amp, but I prefer not to change it. The volume buttons are easily reachable while my current setup isn’t, and my headphones are low-impedance, so I can only use the first 25% of the dial before it becomes too loud. That level of sensitivity makes it hard for me to set the volume accurately, so I’d rather keep things as they are.
Hey there. Have you thought about using AutoHotKey (GitHub)? You'll need to install the program. It's a utility that lets you customize or reassign key codes to different actions. If you want to adjust your Volume_Up and Volume_Down settings, paste the script in Notepad (or any text editor) with the specified lines. Save it as an .AHK file. Launch AutoHotKey and run the script. For automatic startup, put the file in the Startup folder. Source: How to Change Volume Increment Levels on Windows 10.
