MenuBar volume control does not work

itunes volume control DOES control the volume of my external speakers which are attached to a ProSonus FireBox.
Website links with controls of audio DO control the volume of my external speakers which are attached to a ProSonus FireBox
However, the main Mac MenuBar sound control slide bar does not control the sound itunes or these websites AND the MenuBar sound control slide bar does not control either my internal or external speakers.
Sound Control panel Input Panel is set at the PreSonus FireBox (0260) device with mic setttings at mid level and the master output volume set about 1.5 units up with "show volume in menu bar" box checked and Mute box clear of checkmarks.
The Sound Control Panel Output panel is set at Presonus FireBox (0260) with the master output volume set at 1.5 units with "show show volume in menu bar" box checked and Mute box clear of checkmarks. Controlling the slider from the Sound Control Panel DOES control the slider in the Mac MenuBar but not the sound.
The fact that sound is coming out of the firebox indicates sound from itunes and web site sound links IS being redirected from the internal speakers to the firebox and then the firebox is redirecting the sound to the external speakers.
However, the volume control at the mac is not sending out a lower
signal to the firebox or the firebox is not responding to the lower signal or something else has control over the volume control.
There are two clues. The volume control of itunes DOES work and the manual control of the Firebox is working.
Another interesting observation is that the "Sound Effects" panel of the Sound Control Panel does appear to work correctly; the alerts are supposed to work through the internal speakers (as the drop down list box is selected that way) and the Master volume does limit the alert volume. But I find it interresting that the Master volume is coupled to the internal speakers when the Master Volume should be coupled to the firebox (and then through to the external speaakers).

Hi stoye-
You cannot control the volume of the digital signal. The presonus converts the digital signal to analog and the volume control is done there.

  • Keyboard volume control does not work

    I have an iMac G5, running OS 10.5.8, and a new Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad. My keyboard volume control does not work. Any have ideas as to why ? (I have a similar set-up at work with no volume problems.)

    Try system prefs/keyboard/keyboard/ and uncheck Use all F1, F2 etc as standard function keys.
    Other wise the volume and brightness controls will only work if you hold down the function key first (fn)

  • My Bose SIE2i volume control does not work. (pause/play does work). This is the secone set - the apple store in Sydney replaced the firsat set that had the same problem. It was working OK and has stopped.

    Thanks again V.K. I did check the layout, and it was listed as alphabet when I inputted the password. So that doesn't seems to the the issue.
    Just finished a truly mystifying experiment, but I put in a shorter password in the way mentioned earlier and it worked. I then systematically kept increasing the characters of that password and it seems that if the password starts to exceed about 16, it stops recognizing it. I am fairly sure it is not the password itself since it never gives an error when typing in the verification password. So unless I systematically make the exact mistake twice at the setup screen, and then don't or make a different mistake every time at the login screen, I don't think its my typing skill.
    So problem solved for now, but I am still a bit worried. Maybe I should completely reinstall and use a shorter password.
    Is there supposed to be a length limit?

    Hi Austin XQ,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Based on the information you have provided, it sounds like your iPhone needs to be serviced. The following link should help you get started with the process and has links with additional information on topics such as warranty and service pricing, battery replacement, and express replacement service.

  • Mission Control does not work!!!!!!!!

    Hi all,
    I have recently Reformatted my mac and made it into 1 partition of 500gb just to run mac os x. I did it with the discs the laptop came with.
    After OSx install was complete, I ran the os x lion downloaded from the app store and installed it too. After completely updating the system with software updates and my other software like ms office, vlc, flash, iLife etc.
    I have found that the mission control does not work sometimes. It allows you to swipe from screen to screen but when when you swipe up.. It hides the top apple bar but nothing else happens.. Everything else is fine so far.
    When I turn my mac on. If it gets stuck the only way to make it work again is to restart. Which is a bit annoying.. Plz tell me if it's a bug or something.
    If that happens to someone else as well?
    Thanks

  • 2002 G3 600 mhz iMac display stays dim with an unidentified sign displayed.  The contrast control does not work.

    My display screen is dim and the contrast control does not work.  There is a sign on the screen that I have been unable to identify.  It is a white circle outline with a half moon solid circle within it.  Does anyone know what's wrong?

    Did you reset the PRAM? http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379 And the pram battery may need to be replaced if it is over 3 years old it is under the iMac under the ram cover and there is a little button in there to reset the pmu as well. you have to have it pluged in when you do a pmu reset. there is a lot more stuff to try before the worst case scenario that is a bad PAV board the Pav is what runs the monitor and if it is going bad That may be a syptom that it is haveing and they can not be fixed (Well not for under $250 and that is useing old parts because they do not make them any more) but that wood be worst case scenario. Lets just hope it just needs to be reset Try that and Keep us posted

  • Brightness control does not work with the bluetooth keyboard connected on my iPad2. Please someone could help me ?

    Brightness control does not work with the bluetooth keyboard connected on my iPad2. Please someone could help me ?

    Julien-
    I have the Apple MC184LL/A Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard.  The brigtness control works with mine, as do most of the other functions.
    Try cycling the keyboard off and on.  Hold the power button until the green LED goes out.  Then press it one more time to turn it back on.
    You might try resetting the iPad's network.  Go to Settings-General-Reset-Reset Network Settings.  Then you may need to reconnect your WiFi and Bluetooth.
    If that doesn't help, try resetting/rebooting the iPad.  Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow.  The iPad will restart in a couple of minutes.  Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.

  • Volume Control Keys Not Working

    I got a new MacBook Pro last week and i've noticed that the volume control keys on the keyboard are not working.  When I press any of the keys, the grey box that typically appears does show up, but the volume level indicator does not move and there is a small circle underneath with a line through it that shows up every time as well. The only thing that changes is the actual speaker icon, which will change from having a line through it to not having a line through it and vice versa. I've checked the setting for the F# keys, and this is not "checked" in the settings.  I'm not sure if this is something I can fix or if it is something I will have to go into the store to have checked out - suggestions?

    I cant believe nobody has a fix on this!

  • Volume control buttons not working with new usb keyboard

    Hi all,
    I recently replaced the bluetooth keyboard that came with my iMac with the usb keyboard (the long aluminium one, with the number block). Typing is no problem, but the volume control keys dont seem to work with this keyboard as I was used to with the bluetooth keyboard: max vol, increase/decrease and vol. off dont operate with any of the keys (f, alt, str, cmd, shift). Only thing I can do is get a view of the running programs or make the current application vanish from the screen.
    Tried to change the keyboard setting in preferences for the F1-12 keys - made no change.
    help is very much appreciated.
    Thanks

    I was able to fix this bug by upgrading to OS X 10.6.8.
    Very strange that a) it was a problem in the first place and b) that the upgrade did not happen automatically
    Thanks very much to Haggibbor, who alerted me to that possibility. Since I read this in a thread I did not open myself, I unfortunately do not know how to let him have the 10 points I would like him to receive. (Hints for this newbie are very welcome.)
    Problem of volume control keys is now solved.

  • Brightness and volume control keys not working with windows 7?

    brightness, volume control and some other keys keys are not working with windows 7 with macbook pro retina. Can I fix it?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Have you installed Boot Camp drivers? You need them to make your computer work properly on Windows, and to use your function keys as Play or Pause, volume and brightness keys.
    To install them, follow these steps:
    1. Press the X key while your Mac is starting to start into OS X.
    2. Open Boot Camp Assistant and tick only the option to download Windows support software.
    3. Windows support software will be downloaded and Boot Camp Assistant will ask you to burn it into a DVD or USB drive, so do it.
    4. Start into Windows, insert the DVD or USB drive and install Boot Camp drivers. Your Mac and your volume and brightness keys will be working after installing the drivers

  • Volume controls do not work after booting

    After installing Lion, my volume controls have seemingly been disabled.  If I plug in headphones, the volume controls work again, however, I have to do this everytime. I've searched around for an answer for about two weeks now, but haven't found one that worked.  I don't have a red light in my headphone jack and before this issue, I never used headphones.
    Also, it seems that the sound at maximum volume is not as loud as it used to be in Snow Lepoard.  Is anyone else experiencing this?  Any solutions?
    Things I've tried:
         Putting headphones in and restarting then removing
         Resetting NVRAM
         Repairing and verifying permissions
         Verifying disk

  • IPhone 3Gs Voice Control does not work

    Purchased IPhone 3Gs 32g beside having no service were I live (AT&T is building a cell tower about a mile from my house) my Voice control only works about 1% of the time. For the Ipod I usually get some kind of error message “like listing not found” when it does find an album or artist it always the same one. I am sick of hearing Santana. For call when I do get a signal I also usually get an error message or if it works it pick on of my doctors and that’s it.
    Went to the Genesis bar and they said it was a software problem, they gave me a new IPhone with my old sims card, but the did not test the new IPhone Voice control in the store because there were on contacts or albums in the memory.
    Got home synced the new one and guess what same exact problem. I have read and tried everything on the internet and nothing has worked any ideas or suggestions ? Please help I tired of listing to Santana and calling Dr. Aronald.

    There's a few things you can try that might help out.
    No. 1 Make sure your genius results are updated. If you're saying "Play music like Snoop Dogg" it's going to try to make a genius playlist, and that might be why you have no results found.
    No. 2 Speak slower. This might sound kinda dumb, I'm not trying to be a smartass. I found that my voice command worked 200% better when I spoke just a little bit slower. Not sure why exactly, but the difference was night and day.
    No. 3 When calling someone (on purpose of course) it helps to sometimes add "mobile" at the end if the number is listed as mobile in your contact book. Usually you only need to do this if the contact has more then one number, but it helps even if they don't just to eliminate any ambiguity from the voice command.
    Hope that helps!
