No More Volume Key Pain is a simple Windows app that makes adjusting your volume easier. If you’re tired of needing to press the Fn key just to change the volume, this app’s for you! With this little tool, you can use F6 and F7 to adjust volume directly—no Fn key needed.

Honestly, this app was created out of frustration. Many keyboards make you press Fn along with the volume keys, which can get annoying fast if you’re frequently adjusting volume.

• F5 - Mute/Unmute
• F6 - Volume Down
• F7 - Volume Up

You can easily stop the app from tray menu.

• Volume Control: Use F6 to decrease and F7 to increase the volume in easy 10% steps.
• Overlay Display: See your current volume level in a small overlay when you adjust it.
• System Tray Icon: Minimizes to the system tray with a quick right-click Quit option when you’re done.

• Windows OS
• C++ Compiler (Visual Studio, MinGW, etc.)
• Windows SDK (for Windows-specific APIs)
• CMake (for building)

• Adjust Volume: Hit F6 to lower volume and F7 to raise it.
• See Volume Level: An overlay shows you the current volume when it changes.
• Quit: Right-click the icon in the system tray and choose Quit to close the app.

• Volume Control: Uses the Windows Core Audio API to read and set the system volume.
• Keyboard Hook: Captures F6 and F7 to adjust volume, so you don’t need Fn.
• Overlay Display: Pops up briefly to show you the new volume percentage.
• System Tray: Gives you an easy way to exit from the tray when you’re done.
