control external monitor sound: if your monitor supports DCC, MonitorControl is FOSS and allows direct control. Also, see below.
capture sound: there's a flury of apps that allow you to do that, Rogue Amoeba has a couple that go from simple to very advanced audio routing. This audio routing also allows you to set the output volume (so, indirectly volume sent to a monitor) using the standard macOS controls.
> And yeah PulseAudio is just so much better than everything macOS can offer.
Someone has never dug into Audio Midi Setup, which can do a bunch of nice things already, including creating aggregated audio inputs and outputs.
- GlassKingdom 5y agoHaving to install an app to control volume does seem like something from the early 1990s (and I’m a mac guy).
- lloeki 5y agoIt's annoying that Apple doesn't implement DDC control alright (neither volume nor brightness). I'm just trying to be helpful and point to solutions that I use daily for these use cases, not making a case, barely pointing out that things claimed to be impossible are not (and not argumentatively, only because folks may stop at that and have to endure something when there are solutions that would fit their use case)
- post_break 5y agoImagine having to install kernel extensions just to adjust the volume over a digital output like HDMI, maddening since you know it can do it, but stock MacOS won't allow you to. Or how about volume levels by app?
