It's awful because a couple of years ago, I had written to Bose about accessibility of their update software. They obviously consider blind people as no market so they won't do anything about that. Makes me cross! Andrew > On 2 Dec 2016, at 13:04, aliFaisal wrote: >

Hi, It's possible that your iTunes volume is turned way down. While in iTunes listening to music, press cmd-up arrow to see if that increases the volume of the music. If VO is still too loud, try turning down VO's output level by pressing ctrl-option-cmd-left until you hear VO announce

Hello, I managed to get it paired and it is working [somehow]. However, I noticed a different issue pertaining to music playback. the music in iTunes is quite low and is disproportionate to voiceover. Any ideas how this can be resolved? I am pretty new at this bluetooth stuff so I apologize for

Hello, It has been a couple years since I have done something like that, so my memory is quite probably flawed. I seem to recall that the BlueTooth speaker needs to be active for it to appear in the sound sources list. Also, I recall needing to work in the Bluetooth tables as well as the sound

Hi, just to give a little more information, I have my mac connected to the speaker, yet as I mentioned, I am not getting output from the speaker itself. I took a quick glance under sounds, and my bluetooth speaker wasn’t even listed as one of the output devices. Is there something I am doing

Hello everyone, I bought a brand new blue tooth speaker and I have it paired with my mac. however, when I have my mac connected and paired, voiceover still comes through my mac speakers and not the bluetooth speaker. Any ideas why this is happening and how to fix it? I am using the Bose sound
