Volume Control Still not working on MacBook Pro M1Pro [Solved]

(1/3) > >>

Anticar:
I've seen since April that volume control is lost in MC28. It will play out of speakers and headphones at the same time.

blgentry:
I just tested a few things on my M1 Macbook Pro running MC 28.0.72:

1.  Playing to external DAC:  Used MC's volume control and it worked.
2.  Playing to "default core audio"
  A.  Set to Mac audio output to Macbook pro speakers.  Volume control in MacOS works.  Volume control in MC works.
  B.  Plugged in headphones:  Speakers keep playing, no sound from headphones.
  C.  Changed Mac audio output to external headphones.  Speakers no longer play.  Headphones now play.  Volume control in MacOS works.  Volume control in MC works.

Note that I stopped and restarted playback in MC between all tests for the audio device change to take effect.

There are workarounds, like running Apple Music app in the background. But I have also had times without any ability to even highlight an output source, much less select one.
My external Meridian DAC will only be selectable or controllable if Apple Music app has already been run with it.
I'm sure the ciders still consider that a bug, even with workarounds that don't always work.

MC on Mac uses a very straightforward Mac API for showing devices.
If it doesn't show up immediately that's an issue between the device and the OS. Check for a device firmware and/or driver update.

Hmm, I don't really understand what you are saying.  You seem to be reporting 3 different things.

How are you trying to select an audio device?  Are you using Tools > Options > Audio > Audio Device ?  That's the primary way to select MC's output device.
