How To Adjust Volume For Each Program On Mac
- Mute the speakers immediately by checking the 'Mute' box. Select the 'Sound Effects' tab to change the alert volume by moving the 'Alert Volume' slider. Check the 'Show volume in menu bar' box to display the volume icon in your Mac's menu bar; use it to quickly change the sound volume.
- Video Audio Volume Booster. IDealshare VideoGo, the ideal Audio Video Volume Booster, can easily increase sound volume level from the audio or video files on Mac or Windows.
I recently switched from PC to Mac and one thing I miss is Windows' application-level volume control (i.e. mute Firefox, turn up iTunes, turn down Skype etc). How can I achieve the same on a Mac? Or better yet, I want volume settings based on location (using HTTP location API or WiFi network name) and time of day or day of week etc.
Three different themed options let you adjust your current in-app sound levels, with another two giving you access to a combination of the ringer, music, alarm, and call volume settings. Floating Widget.

A free and open source one, if you don't want to pay for VolumeMixer, is BackgroundMusic.

Hear is a rather expensive utility ($49.95) and has a number of other audio 'Pro' features.
Jack is a low-latency audio server written originally for GNU/Linux and I believe can change volume on a per-application basis. And it's free.
SoundBunny ($9.99) also provides this function. Supports 10.6, 10.7 and 10.8
Update: As pointed out below by Steve Moser SoundBunny cannot change the volume of Sandboxed applications.

Here's a possible workaround, for a subset of use cases, that doesn't require any new software.
We use Slack at work, and I like to play iTunes kinda loud (in my headphones). Sometimes I was missing Slack audible 'bings'.
Just fyi that you can set iTunes volume lower in the iTunes UI, and then set the overall system volume in upper right system menu reasonably high, so that relatively the non-iTunes notifications will be noticeable.
Basically:
- iTunes volume can bet set independently of other sounds, WITHIN the iTunes UI
- And then the overall volume in the upper right controls thecombination of everything.
I suspect this works in other apps that have an independent volume control.

This is one of those things that's 'obvious' to gurus, but not obvious to the rest of the folks using Mac.
If you have Xcode installed, you can use BackgroundMusic. Xcode is required to build the binaries.
I just figured out how to do this on macOS Sierra. I was playing Roblox, and I wanted to watch a YouTube video in the background, but mute Roblox. So I tried using Siri and just saying 'Mute Roblox' did the trick. I honestly didn't believe that it would work, but there you are.
I use Butler & USB Overdrive to setup key commands and map media keys (play/pause/skip back+fwd/volume/mute) to control iTunes & Spotify, as well as other system wide controls. Regular in-app key commands can be setup in the Mac OS System Prefs -> Keyboard -> Application Shortcuts. While these will give you more control via key commands when you're working in the app, they won't work if the specified app is in the background. So if you want to change the volume of iTunes or Spotify, skip tracks, or pause while you are working in another app, these 2 apps will allow you to do that. Both apps provide built-in basic itunes controls, but I had to use Applescript to control Spotify. Here are some Applescript examples that can be used for these types of functions in both of these apps: alvinalexander.com/apple/itunes-applescript-examples-scripts-mac-reference [the form wouldn't let me submit more than 2 links so i had to make this inactive]

Command+option+up/down arrows
Best torrent program for mac 2016. Guide >>> The only drawback of this torrent software Mac is too many advertisings and sneaky installation files (Spigot Toolbar, SearchMe in Safari, Amazon, eBay, etc) in the latest version. In addition, users are allowed to freely sigle out torrents to download on the top right of uTorrent thanks to its built-in search engine. Thus, you should be careful in the process of installing or just remove extensions.
bneelyControl+Command+Up/Down Arrows works for me Mac OS 10.9.5
On mac, with i tunes the command is cmd and the UP arrow, this also works for divx, vlc ext, with the internet, just use the volume controls F11 / F12.
No need to spend monies on silly apps!
