Pavel Jelic If you want to control the volume within the macOS operating system, you can do so classically using the buttons on the keyboard or in the top bar. However, in this case, the volume is controlled across the entire system - that means that the volume of all applications, notifications, system elements, etc. is adjusted. In the competing system Windows 10, you can simply click on the sound button in the bottom bar to change the volume of certain applications and system, i.e. that the system can have a different volume compared to the applications and vice versa.

I don't understand how he can even afford not to have this in the system..
Unfortunately, that's how it goes at Apple across products. However, if the user adjusts it, then it runs stably for several years, unlike Win...
So if you're a morning person, you'll want something on Win. My mom has had Windows for a bunch of years without a single problem. Unlike a semi-functional Mac, where you have to screw it up on your knees for money and then it just works like anywhere else.
I have a problem with the app… when I turn it on it starts making a sound in all apps like a small child holding the spacebar on youtube?
the same thing happens to me, not regularly, just occasionally, but it happens. Does anyone know what to do with it?
