This is my third year with this thing and the volume has NEVER worked properly.

***
G4, OS 10.2.8

There are three available methods of volume control: keyboard keys, toolbar icon, and System Preferences' Sound panel. Sometimes, all three of these work equally well. Not often-- but sometimes.

Most of the time, though, only the System Preferences will actually affect the volume level in the way I tell it to, or at all. On the other two, it is common for lowering the volume to do nothing at all, and increasing the volume to instantly set it on maximum. Mute, however, always works great on any of the 3.

Anyway: ANNOYING! Of course the one way that works is the most tedious one. Open up all the windows, click all the little tabs. Raagh.

Halp.

i have suspicions but not definite answers, so don't take this as wisdom etched in mysterious glass bricks or anything.

it could very well be a software bug that was fixed in a software update..... but you wouldn't have gotten the fix if your system software is still over two years old. :\ do you have a copy of 10.4 lying around by any chance?

Yeah. At the store. :P

(You're right, of course; I've been needing to get with the times for awhile now. But the times are expensive!) :c
