Volume control on MacBook Air

Hello,

I would like to limit the sound volume of my son's MacBook Air. For personal reasons and because he has a condition, he tends to push the volume up to full which has consequences that are then very difficult to control. Is there a way to cap the volume somewhere? I've tried the sound settings but no luck there. Thank you for your help

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15

Unable to control volume on Mac I’ve a desktop Mac, which has been behaving oddly since moving house. I am no longer able to control the volume, which defaults to maximum within seconds of me reducing the volume either on the keyboard or using the system preferences app. I wondered if it was the new internet or one of the other devices connected to it that was causing the issue, but despite updating to the latest operating system and trying with the wifi disconnected, the problem persists!

Is there a keyboard shortcut for volume on macbook pro? On my PC I can control the volume but using three fingers on the trackpad. But on my Macbook I have to press the < button on the touchbar which makes it inconvenient. Is there an easier way to adjust the volume button?

Mac volume control disabled when using external speakers I have external speakers that connect over USB-C, and they play audio just fine, but they have a hardware volume control knob and the control center volume control is disabled on the MacBook. When I plug in other devices, like a PC, the device is able to adjust the volume with software without me having to adjust the knob on the speakers, but the Mac doesn't allow that when these specific speakers are in use. How can I turn off this feature so that I can use the volume keys on the keyboard or the slider in control center to adjust the volume?

The solution here for both sides is a nice headset
