Tips: about adjust the sound volume

May 5th, 2008 Acedia No comments

Everyday, we need to adjust the sound volume of our Mac…

Here’s some tips around it.

When we adjust the sound volume by the shortcut key in keyboard, it will play a sound, do you hate it?

If you hold “Shift” key and then press “sound-up” or “sound-down” key, it will turn your volume without that sound “di”.

and, If you hold “Option” key,  it will open your sound-preferences window.

 

Of cause you know there are only 16 cases we can adjust…

If you hold both “Shift” and “Option”,then press the “sound-up(or down)” key, it will give you a fine-turning, one case change to 4, so that you now have in total 64 cases to adjust the volume.

 

By the way, are you using that widget which named “weather”? yes, the one installed with MacOS system. the way it shows how is the weather is really cool. If you hold “option”+”(cmd)” key and click on it, it will show those weather-effects one by one.But you will find that the location change to “nowhere”, to back it to the city which you setup, press (cmd)+R.
