Apr 28, 2016 11:41 AM in response to Dave_K76by c0sco,Another "me too". Have a Fubar III amp, which shows as a "Burr_Brown Japan PCM2702" in the Sound preferences, and I get the "The selected device has no output controls" message. I just upgraded from 10.10.5 straight to 10.11.4 two days ago. Tried the PRAM and SMC resets, shutting down, removing cables, turning devices off, removing plist files, etc. No luck.

Apr 29, 2016 12:38 AM in response to c0scoby Dave_K76,Hi,
I solved the problem by investing in a small volume control device (Fostex PC-1e, about $25 on Amazon). Installed between the DAC and the speakers, it works very well.

Apr 29, 2016 3:36 PM in response to Dave_K76by c0sco,Good tip. That should help anyone stuck in a situation with no hardware volume knob. In my case, I have an amp with a volume knob, but I expect the software volume controls to work like they did in 10.8 - 10.10.

Select -Sysyem Preferences
- Sound
- Click on Internal Microphone( which appears in window: Select a device for sound input
Then tick box: Show Volumn in Menu bar
And all should be well!!

Jun 23, 2016 12:58 PM in response to francon3by Adrian Bengtson,No, that has nothing to do with the issue. Showing the volume in the menu bar is not a problem.
The problem is that the volume can't be adjusted (greyed out, disabled) for certain USB DAC devices, something that worked before El Capitan.

Jun 24, 2016 11:04 AM in response to Adrian Bengtsonby d_a_n1979,Having this issue myself currently! 2012 i7 Mac Mini running El Capitan
Have a Nuforce USB DAC connected; can't control volume on my keyboard, it's greyed out and the settings state 'The selected device has no output'!
However, this has worked recently with a NAD D1050 DAC via USB and KEF X300A speakers, also connected via USB!
What's the issue and why has it cropped up all of a sudden?!
Thanks

Jun 24, 2016 12:46 PM in response to cpageby d_a_n1979,Thanks; but of no use as this is being fed via USB and does exactly the same even trying your solutions!

Jul 2, 2016 2:57 PM in response to foundryfireby luowanxiang,same problem.
10.11.5; 2015 mbp 13 inch; 3.1g; 16g.
i just bought a Sound Devices USBpre 2. first time everything looks fine but when i change volume with keyboard shortcut or volume control of softwares nothing happen. only the volume logo shows on screen was changing.
second time without restart computer it turns gray as you guys experienced. but i can control volume through one of the softwares (KORG AudioGate 4)' own volume bar. not the others such as WaveLab Element 7. nor iTunes. in this case i can't choose this device from audio midi setting. its grey too.
i tried add multiple devices setting on midi set up then i can choose the device. grey short cut key and no control from WaveLab.
a lot of works are depend on it. terrible isn't it?

Sep 21, 2016 9:27 PM in response to foundryfireby Ras Alexis,Hi people , I had the same issue , found this app http://www.volumemixer-app.com/ . works with Sierra too.
Hope it helps you. don't forget to mess with the settings of the app to auto select on start which will be your default output device.

Sep 23, 2016 1:20 AM in response to craig.gordonby mook33,A later update in El Capitan did fix usage for me (Creative X-Mod), and that functionality has carried over into Sierra. So, in my own case, yes -- the function is working again.
I'd do a Time Machine backup, upgrade & see if it works for you. Then if not, you can revert back to your previous version. That's what I had done when Mavericks first released & functionality wasn't sticking & just had to wait for a while.
Hope that helps!
