How To Adjust Volume On Mac Keyboard

Share This:

Are you a Mac user looking to set the volume control on your keyboard? If so, you’ve come to the right place! The unique design of Apple keyboards makes setting volume control a simple and easy process.

First, on the top row of your Mac keyboard, you should see a speaker icon with F12 written beside it. This is the key combination that will control your audio volume. To adjust the sound level, simply press and hold down the Fn key and then press either F11 or F12 for lower or higher volume respectively. You can also use the arrow keys (up/down) to increase/decrease the sound level as long as you are pressing and holding down the Fn key.

If you’re having trouble pressing and holding down both keys at once, there is another way to adjust your audio levels on Mac keyboards without using the Fn key. Simply press and hold down the Control key while pressing either F11 or F12.

It’s important to remember that when using these two methods, it does not replace any of your system sound settings; it only adjusts them temporarily until you release the keys. If you want to make more permanent changes in how loud or soft your sound is coming out from your speakers, then you would need to open up Sound Preferences from System Preferences in order to make those changes.
