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.

    I would like an app that is more versatile. The app above is nice, but I would like it modified so a box pops up that lets you put in a numeric value from the key pad.  For instance, let's say it is currently set at 80, and I want to go to 55.5.  Instead of trying to adjust the bar to where you want it (and can't get there), the key pad would let me be more precise to where I want it to be set at as well as get there sooner.  Even if I am at 80 and want to go to 30, all I have to do is put in the number instead of moving a bar, and adjust it until I get it to where it needs to be.  Does anybody have that application?
