Here are 16 little fat binary applications whose sole purpose in life is to change the speaker volume on your mac. Eight of them change the default sound output volume, eight of them change the alert sound volume. Sure, you could do the same thing with applescript, but these are much faster and smaller. Sound Manager 3.0 or greater is required to run these.
Here's some suggestions for what to do with them:
a. Put them in a folder within your Apple Menu Items folder, so that you can change sound and alert volumes without opening the sound control panel.
b. To make your startup chime very quiet, put the file "set sound vol 0" -- or an alias to it -- into your shutdown items folder. Put another file, say "set sound vol 5", into the startup items folder to set the sound volume of your mac after the chime plays.
These are free and may be freely distributed, provided they are not altered and this Read me file is distributed with them. They may be put on commercial CDs, provided I am credited.
