Hello. 

                Is it possible to control the master volume with some keyboard shortcut? I would prefer it to be without a use of some additional software.But if it isn't possible then the software should be pretty light-weight and not consume a lot of CPU/RAM.  Thank you for your help. 

  PS: I DON'T intend to buy a multimedia keyboard for that.

Yes,you can create a Master Volume Shortcut and also assign a Shortcut Key.

Right click on a empty area on desktop, and click on New and Shortcut.

Paste the following in to the location of the item area:-

%windir%\System32\SndVol.exe -f 49825268Click Next button and give a name to the Shortcut and click Finish.

Now You right click on it and select Properties.

    Yo! Best answer from any search, ever. I'm clearly not very tech savvy, considering I was looking up volume short keys. Now I'm going short key crazy. Thanks! haha Succinct and simple. Solid.

    Microsoft should, at least once, try to answer to their unsolved issues like we say to kids regarding drugs:

    "JUST SAY NO

    [WE DON'T HAVE IT]!"

    Do you get demoted or something for being sincere admitting in writing that Windows lacks things that other OSs have? Why all this circumventing and tangential answering to the simplest of questions???
