There should be a button to allow the driver.Ģ) when you start your mac and the helix (lt) at the same time it can happen that the driver will not work. How is it for you? do you have volume control on max os mojave with helix?
Now with my new mac mini 2018 and the same helix driver there is no volume control available anymore now. This was quite good, because i do not want to have every youtube video and so on playing at 100% by default as they can be extremely loud. But in this case, MC "listens to" the media keys, as opposed to using System Volume.On my previous mac mini from 2014 with the older osx i had a normal volume control in the menu bar. Yet another option with Volume is to have MC use the Media Keys on your keyboard. Quote from: blgentry on March 09, 2020, 06:19:04 pm There are a few settings that will probably help you with this.ģ. Without MC running you will be able to play to the SimAudio 240i integrated amp. I would recommend leaving Audio in Exclusive Mode, and just don't run MC at the same time as Apple Music, Safari or Pure Vinyl. With those settings in place, use the physical volume control on the SimAudio 240i integrated amp to set a comfortable listening level, and thereafter use MC's Internal Volume control. I also set the Internal volume reference level to 80%, which is just my preference.Į. I set the Startup Volume to 80% and the Maximum Volume to 100% in "Options > Audio > Volume".
"Options > Audio > Audio Device > Device Settings > Maximize device volume during playback".ĭ. Have MC maximize System Volume when playing from MC, so that it doesn't affect Internal Volume's control. But what you want to do is select the SimAudio 240i integrated amp as the output device in MC.Ĭ. By all means, set the System Preferences to the Moon USB DSD HD Audio/SimAudio 240i integrated amp when MC isn't running, so it is used at that time.ĮDIT: I am assuming that the SimAudio 240i integrated amp presents as Moon USB DSD HD Audio in the Mac preferences, and also in MC. Otherwise, it plays to the Audio Device it is set to play to, ignoring the System Preferences setting. MC will only use the system preferences when it is set to play to the default audio device. You just need to set MC to use it in "Options > Audio > Audio Device". The Mac Mini's preferences don't need to choose the Moon USB DSD HD Audio. I'm not a Mac guy so Brian can correct me without worrying about hurting my feelings.Ī. Tools > Options > General > Advanced > Media Key Mode > (experiment with the options here) But in this case, MC "listens to" the media keys, as opposed to using System Volume. Tools > Options > Audio > Volume > Volume Mode > System Volumeģ. That makes MC use the OS (mac OS) volume controls: If that doesn't work, then you probably want to turn on System Volume mode. The keyboard controls, the slider in the audio device at the top of the screen, etc. It sounds like you want to use the Mac's sound controls to turn the volume up and down. Tools > Options > Audio > Audio Device > Device settings > Device > Open with exclusive access > (uncheck to turn off)Ģ. No other programs are allowed to touch it while MC has it. This setting makes MC "own" the audio device while it's in use. There are a few settings that will probably help you with this.ġ.
