Re: More Volume, Please

2018-11-06 Thread 'Janina Sajka' via MacVisionaries
That did it, Anders. Thanks!

After resetting SMC, VO volume was still showing 100%, but system volume
was now only 75%.

Now, if I can find a EFI fix to boot my Linux USB, I'll be fully
functional again! 

Thanks again for the assist with volume.

Re: More Volume, Please

Hi,

Check how loud the MacBook Air is when playing music from iTunes or some other 
media player.  If that is plenty loud, but VO is still low, then press 
VO-cmd-shift-right or left until you hear "Volume" announced.  If VO volume is 
not at 100%, then press VO-cmd-shift-UP to increase VO volume.  The VO volume 
and system volume can be adjusted independently.

More Volume, Please

2018-11-05 Thread 'Janina Sajka' via MacVisionaries
My Airbook volume is showing 100%. Yet I was unable to hear Voice Over
during my last airline flight. I tried directly on the builtin speakers
after failing to hear enough volume over wired headphones.

Windows 10, on the other hand, which is also present on this same
machine via Bootcamp, was easily understood because it's volume output
was significantly greater.

This is not a great situation. Anyone have a suggestion?
