Windows has a built-in volume mixer, but it's buried in Settings and clunky to use. SoundSplit puts per-app volume control in your system tray - one click away.
Click the SoundSplit tray icon and you see a clean list of every app currently producing audio, each with its own volume slider and mute button. Drag sliders to adjust, click mute to silence - it's that simple.
Common use case: you're in a Discord call while listening to music. You want Spotify at 30% and Discord at 100%. With the Windows mixer, that's a multi-step process. With SoundSplit, it's two slider drags.
Per-app volume control. Simple, lightweight, free.
