Unable to increase volume sometimes under Yosemite
Hi folks, just wondering whether anybody else has trouble increasing the volume on an MBA? Sometimes, and it's just happened again, after opening the lid, I'm unable to increase or decrease the volume using fn plus f11 and 12. Most of the time it works, including hearing the audible volume up and down sounds. But often I am unable to increase or decrease it. I don't know whether this is a VoiceOver thing or just a Yosemite bug, so am not sure to whom I should report it. By the way, the new MBA is so much faster than my old Macbook Pro from 2011. It's a joy to use the Mac again, where it was getting frustrating and slow using the old one. It would take 10 seconds to open a programme on the old one. Migration assistant worked like a charm and I'm very happy with the new machine. It's very snappy. I increased the ram to 8 gb, and left the rest as is. And I even managed to format the old one and reinstall the OS, pretty much all by myself. I was impressed there was speech throughout. And I was pretty nervous about doing it by myself, but it's definitely possible even for me.

Re: Unable to increase volume sometimes under Yosemite
Hi Lisette, when I've seen this, it's been because VoiceOver is using your on-board sound, but the default sound output device has been set to something else, maybe an airplay device. It would be worth going into Sound preferences and verifying what your output is set to.

Re: Unable to increase volume sometimes under Yosemite
Lisette, Just to add to the mix, @ times after the Mac has been asleep, I can’t use the up & down buttons on my Apple headphones. I.E the exact same situation as you accept the function keys do work.

Re: Unable to increase volume sometimes under Yosemite
there's no annoying sound now to increase or decrease the volume on yosometi. try pressing over and over again the fn + f11 of f12 Il giorno 11/dic/2014, alle ore 05:47 AM, CJ Daniel ha scritto: > Lisette, > > Just to add to the mix, @ times after the Mac has been asleep, I can’t use > the up & down buttons on my Apple headphones.

You can set up the volume beeps to indicate volume change in Sound section of system preferences.

It is in system preferences then sound then sound effects then Play feedback when volume is changed.
