Common questions

Which speakers does KeaVolume work with?

Any output macOS can't change the volume of. The most common are speakers or headphones plugged into a monitor connected by HDMI or DisplayPort. For outputs that already have their own volume control, such as your Mac's built-in speakers or AirPods, KeaVolume leaves the normal macOS volume in charge.

Which permissions does KeaVolume need, and why?

System Audio Recording lets KeaVolume change the level of your sound on its way to your speakers. Nothing is recorded, saved or sent anywhere.
Accessibility (called Device Control and Data Access on newer macOS) lets the volume keys on your keyboard control KeaVolume.

You can see the state of both any time in the KeaVolume menu under About KeaVolume….

I can't hear any sound

This usually means System Audio Recording is turned off for KeaVolume. The KeaVolume menu bar icon changes to a warning triangle when this happens.

Open System Settings → Privacy & Security → Screen & System Audio Recording.
Turn on KeaVolume under System Audio Recording.
If macOS asks, choose to quit and reopen KeaVolume.

The volume keys don't work

Open System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility (on newer macOS, Device Control and Data Access).
Turn on KeaVolume.

The keys start working straight away, without restarting the app. They only control KeaVolume when your selected output has no volume control of its own.

How does the free trial work?

You can try KeaVolume free for 7 days, with no payment needed. After that, a one-time unlock keeps it working. There is no subscription. Without unlocking, KeaVolume stops changing your volume and your sound plays as normal.

I bought KeaVolume on another Mac

Open the KeaVolume menu and choose Restore Purchases. Make sure you are signed in to the App Store with the same Apple Account you bought it with.

How do I get a refund?

Purchases are handled by Apple. You can ask Apple for a refund at reportaproblem.apple.com.

How do I remove KeaVolume?

Choose Quit KeaVolume from its menu, then drag KeaVolume from your Applications folder to the Bin. Your sound goes back to normal straight away.
