Changing The Volume More Accurately 5
Tip
Hey
If you have an Apple keyboard, you can change the volume through the function keys. This is pretty normal usually through Fn + F3-5. But did you know that you can change the volume even more accurately. After looking though a list of shortcuts I have found how you can do this. Its not the most useful trick in the world, but cool none the less.
You can change the volume by pressing Option + Shift + Fn + F4 or F5. This combination (Option + Shift) will increase or decrease the volume by a quarter of a square. This means that you can have even more precise control on how loud or quite the volume is. In reality you don’t need it that precise.
You better applicate the image above, it took me ages to take. I needed to press and hold shift + option +fn + f5, while holding the mouse. I was at one point running out of fingers. That brown hairy stuff at the top of the image is dust from a universe, in case you were wondering. In the mean time I am going to continue hunting for useful shortcuts, I hope you enjoy or precise volume control.
Where To Next?

ummm…. it didn’t work for me… but I was playing around and realized that if you hold down “shift” while using the volume keys, it mutes the sound it makes for getting louder or quieter

Worked for me… and Thanks for the great tip! There used to be a bug on MacBooks that I was exploiting to get lower than 1 square of volume, and now I don’t have to (that bug was, by the way, that if you turned the volume fully down, then muted, then unmuted, the volume went up…

Option + Shirt + F11/F12 (volume)
This worked for me, no need to use the “fn” key.
