The solution is to use the freeware nircmd tool and create a desktop shortcut with whatever hotkey you'd like in order to run one of the following commands:

As documented at http://nircmd.nirsoft.net/changeappvolume.html

changeappvolume [Process] [volume level] {Device Name/Index}

Examples:

changeappvolume iexplore.exe -0.2

changeappvolume wmplayer.exe 0.55 Speakers

changeappvolume /1275 -0.25 1

changeappvolume Firefox.exe 0.5
