Low volume from audio output port on M4 Mac mini

Sorry... This IS a REAL problem. I AM using AMPLIFIED speakers. The volume coming from the audio output port IS TOO LOW!

Please do not reply with "use amplified speakers".

One suggestion:


  1. On your amplified speakers, set the volume somewhere around 75% of the max.
  2. In Systems Settings > Sound
  3. Select your speakers from the "Output" list
  4. Increase the Output volume


In addition, I suggest adding the sound item to your menu bar to visually see all of your available audio output devices as well as the current volume:


  1. In Systems Settings > Control Center
  2. For "Sound" set it to "Always Show in Menu Bar"


Lastly, note that some applications such as web pages in browsers may have their own independent volume as well.
