It is working for me. Do you not see "AirPlay" in the list of possible output devices? Here is what it looks like on my system:

Hi, sorry, but I'm not sure I fully understand the question. The app lets you make any standard audio device the current default (or "system") output. So for instance if you have the internal speakers playing and you have a USB headset plugged into your mac, then properVOLUME will let you switch the output to the USB headphones (and back to the speakers, of course). Is that what you are asking?

Hi,

If your mac can't change the volume of your optical output device from within the sound control panel, then properVOLUME won't be able to change it either. properVOLUME is more or less a user interface improvement on top of the standard OS X tools for manipulating audio devices. It makes what the mac can already do easier to do, lets you see and do it all in one accessible place with fewer clicks. But it doesn't add any new capabilities to manage audio devices that the mac can't natively do.

Sorry about that!

Agreed, that is a bummer. I didn't know this and I'd like to fix it. I only have a single AirPlay device here and since it worked, I just assumed that it worked with multiple ones. So I'll do some research on differentiating between AirPlay devices and see if that is something we can address.

Thanks for the head's up.

properVOLUME will switch input or output for you. When you choose either from the menu, there will appear a small icon next to the menu. If the icon is a mac system icon, then that is the current input or output device. If the icon is a small triangle inside a circle, then that is a button that will switch the system input or output to the device that is showing in the menu next to the button.


Please let me know if that is not the question you are asking or if anything in my answer doesn't make sense.
