Description of the new feature / enhancement

It will be an overlay for all volume sources. I imagine it like your power run app in style and position of showing (middle of the screen). You will have keyboard control over settings as well mouse. It will be cool to add a universal mute mic button that you can use on any application.

Scenario when this would be used?

🎮 Gaming
Quickly lower game volume without alt-tabbing to hear teammates better.
Reduce loud sound effects or music without affecting voice chat.
Adjust audio on the fly when switching between different games.
Voluming down the game if you want to look something real quick.
Lowering the music that you start playing while you are playing the game.

🎥 Watching Videos & Movies
Instantly lower volume if a video has sudden loud scenes.
Adjust movie volume separately when also playing background music.

🎵 Listening to Music
Lower system sounds while keeping Spotify/Youtube music at the right level.
Adjust volume without interrupting work or closing fullscreen apps.

🎤 Calls & Meetings
Quickly lower background music before answering a Zoom or Teams call.
Reduce notification sounds while staying in a call.

🚀 Productivity & Multitasking
Balance volume across multiple audio sources (e.g., browser video, Spotify, system sounds).
Keep notifications audible but reduce their disruptive volume.
Adjust volumes without breaking focus on work or creative tasks.
If you have music playing and you need to watch a tutorial on YouTube, you can easily mute
music, watch It and go right back to listening your tune for work.

🛠 Technical & Convenience Uses
Fast volume adjustments without opening the full Windows mixer.
Useful for touchscreen devices where opening menus is slow.
Great for minimalist setups (e.g., no keyboard media keys).

And many more use cases i couldn't thing off.

Supporting information

I have only data that i will need it rly bad and trying to find it for years there is only half baked product and best is game bar from windows but I don't want to open all that when i want to change volume.
