Would be funny, if this is as useless as the Windows volume mixer itself, because as a person with OK hearing, you need to regulate volume between 0 and 5 out of 100, while on GNU/Linux distros you could use it just fine. Imagine that in a scene: A: Hey, somehow it is super loud when I use this to regulate volume. How come yours is set so high? B: Ha, that's because you are regulating volume on Windows, where it maps…
This is neat! Is there a list of simple DIY hardware projects somewhere? I have a 3D printer and a bunch of microcontrollers laying around that don't get much use.
But https://hackaday.com/ features sometimes nice DIY project, I often also see them popping up on youtube. But you might be able to find some if you search on 3D printing websites such as https://www.printables.com/
I need this for Mac!
Unless the faders are motorized, which I believe are expensive, I don't see how you can make that thing work reliably without some nasty surprises. What happens if you change the levels through software and your faders do not move? I would just have used rotary encoders.
But like the others said, Soft-takeover has been a thing for many many years.
I would use the pots, you still have software vs hardware problem, but don't need to fiddle with small sliders when you just want to change the volume a tiny bit.

You can buy premade MIDI faders for about $25 [0], there's no way that the hardware aspect of this project is worth making over that. The software is the only real issue, at a quick glance, [1] appears to be relatively equivalent for generic MIDI fader support, perhaps with a few more bells and whistles available.

It's a neat product, but a completely different market.
I’ve thought about building something similar, but for an arbitrary number of sound sources, with a single flying fader, a small mono display for icons, and some buttons. …hang on a minute, it already (kind of) exists: https://www.elgato.com/us/en/p/stream-deck-plus-black

Earlier quoted context omitted.
What happens when software is at 0%, your slider is at 100% and you want to raise the volume?
You must move your slider down, and then up. It becomes reasonably intuitive with a small amount of practice :)
What I really need is a software bass/treble control that can be mapped to keyboard shortcut.
