Mac Audio MIDI Volume Settings

[Mister Wednesday]

In the Mac Audio MIDI audio output settings section there are three sets of volume control sliders. One is labeled M while the other two are labeled 1 and 2.

 

The default setting for the M volume setting is zero while the 1 and 2 channels seem to be default set to a value of 0.69/-11.00 dB.

 

My question about these settings is what is the optimum setting for maximum audio quality? Or should these be just left at the factory default settings as noted above?

 

Regards,

Hi Mr. W. - I believe you can disregard those volume settings. As long as your iTunes volume is set to 100% all is good.

I beg to differ :-o Those correspond to your system (core audio?) volume. You can watch them move when you hit the volume up/down keys on the keyboard (at least 1 and 2 do). I would keep them at 100% as well; although, it automatically goes to that when using the optical output (can't change the system volume).
