OS X - Adjust the volume in 1/4 increments
- gruseom 14y agoDoes anybody know a way to stop OS X from artificially limiting the volume on MBP speakers? It's annoying if I try to listen to a podcast or whatnot and can't hear it from the other side of the room. The last time I searched, all I could find was some proprietary sound-management apps that seemed like overkill for this purpose.
- mvelie 14y agoThere's an app called Boom that allows you to make the volume of things louder on OS X. Believe it's available on the app store.
- TimReynolds 14y agoTurns out the same works for both keyboard and screen backlight. This has rocked my world!
- prezjordan 14y agoI believe they removed this in Lion and put it back in Mountain Lion. Can anyone confirm?

- silvertab 14y agoAnother useful tip, using only the shift key will adjust it silently.
- cobbal 14y agorelated: you can set it to be silent by default in System Preferences; then shift will make it not silent.

- TimReynolds 14y agoYou can also use Shift+volume to silently adjust the sound, what won't I learn today.
- Udo 14y agoAnd if you have set the volume change notification to silent, Shift+volume does the opposite. Also ALT+Volume opens the system sound configuration window.
- TimReynolds 14y agoHow's this stuff not more widely known. I've been using a Mac for years and am only just finding this out.
