You can either control the volume of a specific running application or the master volume of your PC. And all you have to do is just use the various sliders in the Android app and then change the volume.

Without closing or minimizing the game window, you can control its volume right from your smartphone. And there are options in it to mark your most commonly used application as favorite for quick access.
