How to control volume by hovering & scrolling anywhere in Mac Menu Bar

Homework Statement:: How to control volume by hovering and scrolling anywhere in Mac Menu Bar
Relevant Equations:: none

Hi,


I use both Mac's and pc's. Mac's are great but here's one thing
I can do in my pc's that I have not been able to find how to do
in my Mac.


In my pc's (Win7, Win10) I have a utility called "7+ Taskbar Tweaker"
that has an option to allow me to control the speaker volume
by putting the mouse anywhere in the taskbar and as I scroll
up/down while the mouse is still in the taskbar the volume
changes up/down:





This is really very handy and so much more efficient than how
volume control is done in a Mac where one has to,
Mouse up to the Menu bar,
Click on the speaker,
Mouse over to the speaker slide,
Scroll and adjust the volume.


I'm hoping there is a way to have the same ability in a Mac that
I have in my pc's i.e., to control the volume by simply mousing
up to anywhere in the Menu bar and then simply scrolling up/down
to change the volume up/down.


Does anyone have any suggestions or know of a way to have this in a Mac?


Many thanks!

It seems this is the best you can do on a Mac:

unless you can find a third party app to give you that extra convenience. You could also ask on a Mac forum or at the Apple store in case their some really obscure setting that gives you a volume slider directly in the task bar.

Does your keyboard have function keys? On my Mac, F10 mutes/unmutes the speaker, F11 decreases the volume, and F12 increases the volume.
