Hi Brian, Indeed, I got the same results as you. It appears that the manner in which VoiceOver is interacting with the fader is more of a parameter change rather than a physical moving of the fader itself. In other words, one can drag a fader with a mouse and this changes the value. What VoiceOver seems to be doing is the opposite and that type of interaction is not seen by the other faders as a move of another fader but rather a sudden change in value. At any rate, it looks like one can't control groups via VoiceOver. There's no question that it can be done with a control surface but I realize that doesn't help you right now. Yes, an auxiliary input would essentially achieve the same result so that might be the way to go for now.
