How to adjust the computer volume with a shortcut

To change the sound on the computer, usually click on the speaker icon at the Taskbar. Currently some removable keyboards or some laptops also have hard keys that increase and decrease sound, so users can use them quickly. However, for a computer without a hard key, such as a desktop or a speaker icon is not displayed at the Taskbar, you can use the Sound Volume Hotkeys tool, creating a volume up or down shortcut.

Instead of clicking on the speaker icon to adjust the sound as usual, the user simply needs to press the shortcut that Sound Volume Hotkeys set up. The following article will guide the use of Sound Volume Hotkeys on the computer.
