Volume Locker is a small application whose job is to lock the sound levels you set on your audio device, like microphone or speakers, so they don’t change unexpectedly. Once you pick a device and set its volume, the app starts monitoring it and, if Windows or another program tries to change the volume, the tool will quickly put it back to your chosen level.

The application doesn’t really have a window interface and it just sits in the System Tray to show your audio devices with their current volume levels. You can pick which ones to lock, and it quietly does its job in the background. So basically, you set it once and the program does the rest.

It’s worth mentioning that you need to set the volume directly from Windows or another third-party app, as the app doesn’t allow you to do that. For most people, a simple tray menu is enough, but it would be nice if the app included an interface that allows you to adjust the volume inside the app, view the history of changes or set different rules for different situations.

The application can come in handy if you notice unwanted volume changes constantly whenever you try to speak on various platforms or make video calls. Many programs, calls and even some Windows updates can suddenly raise or lower your sound without asking. While this is not an issue if you’re just chatting with your friends on Discord, it may leave a bad impression during a professional call.

Volume Locker is a tool designed for people who get annoyed by sudden blasts of loud sounds, a microphone that keeps resetting itself or streaming setups that need consistent levels.
