Global Audio Control is a very handy utility that will turn any keyboard into a multimedia keyboard. It allows you to control your audio volume settings through keyboard shortcuts rather than fiddeling with the Windows volume controls. You can choose any keyboard shortcut you want (e.g Ctrl+UpArrow or WinKey+U or F10 etc.).The volume adjustment can optionally be shown as an on-screen display. If you are using WinAmp, Global Audio Control even allows you to fast forward, skip tracks, rewind and more.
