Volume settings remember more than just "mute."
Authored by: velvok on Nov 06, '06 07:43:46AM

I just tested this on my 17" Rev A. Macbook Pro.

When I tried it, I used a track in iTunes for the test. I muted the speakers and plugged in earphones. Sound immediately played through the earphones. When I removed the earphones (without having touched any volume buttons, the laptop speakers remained muted.

Most importantly, the laptop remembers volume settings independently for both speaker and earphones. So if I set volume to 1 for speakers, but then plug in earphones, I can turn the volume up to 8 for them, unplug the earphones, and still be at volume 1 for the speakers. Excellent!

The laptop is definitely remembering two volume settings -- one for speakers and one for earphones. And they're separate.

this works for any audio output device, my USB headphones do the same thing.
