Looks great. Now I need a tool to force certain apps to use certain output devices for those apps that don't let you select an output device independent of the default which would be 99% of them.

That's a great idea. It'll take us a bit of time but we can put this place. Are you willing to help give us feedback as we design / implement this feature?

I have wanted this solution for years. Is it posable run Spotify out of speakers, but something else out of headphones?
Re:Show HN: Volume Mixer for Mac by checker659 on Friday July 24, 2015 @10:52PM (#9946359)
Using the builtin speakers while using the headphones at the same time you mean? That isn't possible. However, it is possible to send audio to say a bluetooth speaker and then other audio to the headphone.

Cool, looks nice!

Not related to the app, but the website. The main text above the app store buttons is really difficult to read, the contrast is quite low. Perhaps darken the text a little?

What do you think now?

Not sure how good the developer(s) are at math. App store says $4.99 is 40% off. That would make the regular price about $8.33, which AFAIK, isn't allowed. ;)
Re:Show HN: Volume Mixer for Mac by checker659 on Tuesday July 21, 2015 @12:38PM (#9923534)
:) We had to round off to 4.99. The original price is 7.99.
Re:Show HN: Volume Mixer for Mac by sathomasga on Tuesday July 21, 2015 @12:43PM (#9923590)
I guess 38% off, though accurate, just doesn't have the same "zing" as 40% off :)

One of the things many Linux desktop environments have built in and I need to pay for it on Mac. Besides that, nice app, just bought it.

Awesome, I've always wondered why I Apple never made a volume mixer! Maybe because Windows made it first ;). Thanks.

The driver does not appear to be compatible with El Capitan yet.

Insta-purchased anyway because this feature was definitely needed.

Have you been using VM? Is it working well for you? Got any feedback? Thank you :)
Re:Show HN: Volume Mixer for Mac by checker659 on Tuesday July 21, 2015 @01:48PM (#9924232)
Yeah, it's for Yosemite only atm. However, there will be an update as soon as El Capitan hits the final GM.

man I was thinking about this the other day. Love that windows has this built in, while all OS X get its a shake-to-maximize cursor that you can't turn off. :(

Looks a nifty app. Quite missed this functionality that Windows 7 had.

However the site: Why is all html, content and styling in JavaScript? It's 2015, site should display something with JS disabled. And the HTML that is generated is awful.

Also, no fall back fonts specified, I'm on Windows and it appears not to have Lucida Grande installed. Times New Roman doesn't look as nice.

I'll make these changes. Didn't have the funds to hire a web dev so had to hack it together myself. Thanks for the feedback.
