FAQ

Why do I need to use Cymo Volume Controller?

MacOS does not allow users to adjust multi-output device volume, and the volume keys on your keyboard will be disabled if you selected such devices. Cymo Volume Controller can help users avoid this MacOS restriction.

The Cymo Volume Controller is a menu bar app and will only show as an icon in the menu bar on the top right of your screen.

Click on the Cymo Volume Controller icon, then press Refresh devices.

Go to System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Items > click on "+" > Select Cymo Volume Controller

1. Open Finder, press Go > Go to Folder
