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.
