I was recently shocked to find out that you can't change the volume in macOS when the machine is connected to a TV over HDMI[1]. Volume control is entirely disabled, and you need to adjust it via the TV. Or use a 3rd-party program. This is absolutely insane. I'm sure Apple will claim to have a very good reason for this, but the concept of controlling volume on audio devices has existed since the dawn of computer audio. All other operating systems do this as expected. This is my main issue with using Apple devices. You either accept their vision of how to use the device you paid for, or consider yourself lucky that a 3rd-party solution exists (and that Apple has allowed to exist), which you also usually need to pay for. Insanity. [1]: https://old.reddit.com/r/macmini/comments/lgfjax/is_it_possible_to_control_the_volume_of_an_hdmi/ https://old.reddit.com/r/macmini/comments/lgfjax/is_it_possi...
