EarTrumpet is a volume control app that lets you alter audio inputs and outputs on Windows 10 devices.

When Windows 10 was first released, one of the most common complaints that people had was the lack of an intuitive volume control app. Even though Windows 10 did bring some amazing new features to the table, users often struggled with second-rate volume controls. Luckily, that has all changed with the release of EarTrumpet. This program was initially created by a former Microsoft developer, and it quickly became one of the most popular audio apps on the market.

While this app is perfect for audiophiles who spend countless hours creating or listening to music, it is also an excellent option for everyday users. When you first install EarTrumpet, it will immediately make a few simple changes to your sound tray icon. As soon as you click on or hover over the speaker icon, you will be shown all of the inputs, outputs, and active audio files that are currently on your computer. With a few clicks of the mouse, you can quickly alter the settings for all of those different peripherals and files.

EarTrumpet is a useful piece of software that many people are going to benefit from, but it is important to note that it also has relatively few uses outside of basic input and output controls. This software isn’t going to give you a comprehensive soundboard that lets you tweak every single sound setting on your Windows 10 device. That being said, EarTrumpet could still be a great addition to your app library if you are tired of the limited default sound tray icon.
