What occurs instead is that the OSD display indicates a volume change but the actual volume level output from the speaker remains unchanged. With my new M1 Mac Mini and Monitor Control 3.0 this no longer works. With my previous Intel MacBook Pro, Monitor control was able to adjust the volume of this device using the keyboard volume buttons and the OSD would reflect any volume change. The way that MacOS sees this is that the monitor is a DisplayPort audio device and can be selected. Sometimes, pressing the Mission Control button on the keyboard or clicking the Mission Control app icon the in the launchpad won’t open the Mission Control interface, while control+up arrow and clicking the Mission Control shortcut in the dock always works.
This monitor does not have built-in speakers from the factory but Dell sells a soundbar add-on separately which connects to a power output on the back of the monitor as well as a 3.5mm analogue audio output also provided by the monitor. My primary monitor is a Dell U2713H connected via DisplayPort.
I have another issue regarding volume control of the other monitor (direct USB-C > DisplayPort) and am entering it here as a separate issue since it does not involve the HDMI > DisplayPort adapter. Press the Mission Control key on your Apple keyboard or Touch Bar. Open the Mission Control app, which is in your Applications folder.

Though not perfect, 'Mission Control' spaces serve a useful purpose and should be considered by anyone who likes to have multiple windows open at the same time.I had previously reported an issue with an active HDMI > DisplayPort adapter which I suspect may not be solvable. The gesture is enabled by default on all Macs, but if its not working for you, go to System Preferences > Trackpad > More Gestures and here. Swipe up with three or four fingers on your trackpad, or double-tap the surface of your Magic Mouse with two fingers. Choose the 'Delete' icon at the top left to delete. Using the pointer, hover over the space you wish to delete. In 'Mission Control', move your pointer to the top edge of the screen to bring up the spaces bar. You can delete 'Mission Control' spaces at any time. In a future version of macOS, perhaps Apple will make it possible to change the name of each space more intuitively. This isn't a perfect space-naming solution, but for now, it does get the job done. As such, you can open windows just as you would elsewhere. These spaces, despite the names, are just like every other space in 'Mission Control'.

Now, using your trackpad, swipe up using three or four fingers to open Mission Control and create the new space.įor example, opening the Apple TV app would create the 'TV' space, just as the Music app would open the 'Music' space. Next, click on the green traffic light icon at the top left of the app window. Using a workaround, you can use a word that better describes a new space. As you can see, these names aren't very descriptive. For example, you'll see 'Desktop 1' and 'Desktop 2' with two spaces. Adjusting space namesīy default, Apple assigns the name 'Desktop ' to each new space in Mission Control. Under 'Assigned To', select the space you want. To do so, the app must first be on the Mac dock.įrom there, right-click on the app you want to assign to a space. For example, you may want to open Adobe Creative Cloud apps to a different workspace than other apps.
