Ordinarily, you only adjust the sound when you perceive what you're ALREADY PLAYNG(!) to be either too loud or too soft, and the volume of the playback instantly lets you know how loud the new setting is, so the "!!!BEEP!!!" is TOTALLY superfluous!!! And, if additionally, you just happen to be RECORDING what you're listening to either from or via the sound card, then that asinine "!!!BEEP!!!" has just RUINED your recording! But as said ordinarily, you're ALREADY GENERATING SOUND, the loudness of which you can immediately determine; otherwise, you'd scarcely ever think of adjusting the volume, in an audio vacuum, so-to-speak...!
