Volumouse lets you control the sound volume with a wheel mouse for Windows Systems

https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/volumouse.html

Description
Volumouse provides you a quick and easy way to control the sound volume on your system - simply by rolling the wheel of your wheel mouse.
It allows you to define a set of rules for determining when the wheel will be used for changing the sound volume. For example: You can configure Volumouse to use your mouse wheel for volume control when the Alt key is hold down, when the left mouse button is down, when the mouse cursor is over the taskbar, and so on...
When the conditions that you define are not satisfied, your mouse wheel will be used for the regular scrolling tasks, exactly as before.

Using Volumouse
When you run Volumouse, the main options window is displayed, in order to allow you to configure Volumouse according to your needs. You can always return again to the 'options' window by clicking on the tray icon of Volumouse.
Volumouse allows you to define up to 5 different rules for determining when and how the wheel should be used to control the sound volume. When you run Volumouse in the first time, it defines for you 2 default rules: When the alt key is down and when the left mouse button is down. You can accept the default settings by pressing OK button, or change the rules list according to your preferences.

Wheel Mouse Rules
Each rule contains 4 basic fields:

    Use the wheel when: This field represents the condition of the rule. For example: if your select 'Shift key is down', this rule will be activated only while the shift key is hold down. You can also disable a rule by selecting 'Disabled' in this field.
    Component: This field determines that sound component that you want to control with this rule. The default and the most useful component is the 'Master Volume' of your system.
    Channels: The default and the most useful option in this field is 'All Channels' - which means that both right and left channels are changed to the same values. If from some reason, you want to change only one channel separately - you can use the 'Left Channel' and 'Right Channel' options. Starting from version 1.10, 'Mute / Unmute' option is also available. If you select this option, scrolling the wheel down will mute the sound, and scrolling the wheel up will unmute the sound.
    Steps: The number of steps added to the sound volume for each move of the mouse wheel. If you increase this number, the volume will be changed faster when you scroll the wheel.

there are also more advanced options for each rule, you can configure them by clicking the 'More...' button of the desired rule.

More Rule Options
    Activate the rule only after... Allows you to activate the rule only after specified number of wheel moves.
    Left / Right Balance: Allows you to control the balance of left and right channels. For example: If you want that the volume of the left channel will always be 50% of the right channel volume, set the right value to 1.0 and the left value to 0.5

On-Screen Indicator
Starting from version 1.10, Volumouse allows you display an indicator on the screen when you use the wheel for adjusting the volume.
You can configure the on-screen indicator by using the following options in the 'advanced rule options' dialog-box: (click the 'More...' button in order to get this dialog-box)

    Type: The type of the on-screen indicator. You can select vertical trackbar, horizontal trackbar, or 'none' - if you don't want to display any indicator.
    Size: The size of indicator - in pixels.
    Delay: The number of milliseconds that the indicator will be displayed on the screen after you finish to adjust the volume. The default value is 500 milliseconds.
    Position: the horizontal and vertical position of the indicator. By default, the indicator is displayed in the position of the mouse cursor.
    Transparency: Allows you to display the indicator as transparent. Only works on Windows 2000/XP.
