Is it possible to control app volume from taskbar?

  • 772

I currently have Pulse Audio Volume Control and I'm using it to control audio between my laptop & external monitor as well as volume of different apps.

Is there a faster way of controlling these (especially app volumes), from the music/sound taskbar for example?

I am open to experiment with other ways.

    As of writing I have not found a solution for Ubuntu Unity. But having just moved to Ubuntu Gnome I was glad to find out several that are part of the Gnome desktop in the form of an extension:

    • Laine. It controls the volume of the application in Pulse Audio not the native application volume.

    On a related topic the Gnome Shell Audio Output Switcher is handy to switch between audio outputs.

    After trying the above I ended up with Volume Mixer and Gnome Shell Audio Output Switcher. Here's a screenshot:
