About:
Sound Control is a system utility that provides granular, per-application volume and audio device control directly from the menu bar. It allows users to independently adjust audio levels for individual apps without affecting system-wide settings, solving the common problem of one app dominating the audio mix. The tool also offers advanced features like audio routing and EQ presets for a customized listening experience.

Key Features:

Per-application volume sliders
Menu bar interface for quick access
Audio device switching and routing control
System-wide equalizer and effects

Use Cases:

Balancing audio levels between a video call app and background music
Applying EQ to specific applications without affecting others
Quickly switching audio output between headphones and speakers

Alternatives:

eqMac – eqMac is a free, open-source alternative focused on system-wide equalization, while Sound Control offers a more polished UI and per-app mixing as its core feature.
Audio Hijack – Audio Hijack is a more powerful tool for advanced audio routing and recording, but Sound Control is simpler and focused on everyday volume management.
