Can I control the volume from my Mac or I have to use the amplifier volume control?

Thanks for your question. This unit itself will improve the sound of your digital music stream but will not amplify speakers. You will need wither an amp and speakers or powered speakers, either of which will employ a volume control.

It depends on what version of Mac OS you have. I believe since Mavericks you can option-click (or right click) on the speaker icon on the menu bar to select a different output for your audio. This is what mine looks like:https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/spa/zvthjl8v761hfhk/q3tjtp9x.pngThis means all the audio on your mac will be forwarded to the Fidelio speaker (including system sounds and alerts).If you just want the audio from your browser (or any other app) to be redirected to the fidelio speaker you would need something like Rogue Amoeba's Airfoil.

It's loud, right? How to adjust the volume depends on the system you have (PC or Mac?) Go into your system preferences (for Mac uses) or your Control Panel (for PC users) and go to your Sound thumbnail and bring down the MASTER VOLUME. There is no actual physical volume control on the speaker itself. Hope that helps.

Touch base with M-Audio...but the thing is you shouldn't even need a driver. Macs automatically plug-n-play especially with GarageBand

Can't answer about the Bose specifically, but anything with an earphone outlet will definitely work into the MAC -which I do all the time. Try it, your really can't hurt anything unless you've got everything cranked up all the way. Always start at 1/4 volume level then adjust up to desired listening level.

Hello,You could use either headphone out port or line out port. However, if you use line out, you cannot control output volume. Thank you

Hi, there's a little thumb controller on one of the cables. You can also use the volume control on your PC/Mac keyboard.

You can adjust the volume and gains. I've used this amplifier behind a PC headset jack (Apple MacBook Pro and Lenovo W530), Bose PC speaker jack (powered), and behind a Onkyo receiver. If already amplified, it's more important to adjust the gains and volume level to compensate but it's very simple. In all cases the sound qualified was significantly improved and the only time it didn't make a noticeable difference was behind a DAC which says a lot.

You will be able to control the volume output from the iphone and not the speakers

No, you don't have to do that...once it is paired it will stay like that...but if the speakers are wired to your desktop to switch from you desk top to your Mac there is a source button in the back of the sub that you have to press.

I have a MAC and so I had the same problem, but there is an icon in the upper right of the screen that you can use to adjust the volume. All computers have a way to do it without the use of a keyboard, so you just have to figure out how to do yours.

You can control volume from the Bluetooth device. I keep my speakers at full volume and routinely adjust from my iPod.

It is actually not an amplified device, meaning it will not make your system louder rather distribute the power to different zones with volume control, no louder than what your master volume is set to.Great device if that is what you want!

Hello mate, same story with the mac I'm afraid, I have a couple of macs too, may sound a tad bit better but does not power the drivers adequately. I run mine through an audio interface in my studio, Focusrite Saffire 40, this has headphone amps with volume controls and powers the just fine. If you really want to enjoy these headphones, you do need good headphone amps. I also use them to monitor sound into my Zoom H4N in which do have a small headphone amp on them

There is an icon for the volume in the bottom right hand corner. Right click on it and open volume control and adjust as needed.

Yes - The volume control is on the wire that connects to the sound port on the computer.
