# Volume & Audio Output

Amee can show and control your Mac's system volume and mute state, list every currently available audio output device, and switch between them — the same devices you'd see in System Settings' Sound page or Control Center.

## System volume and mute

Adjust volume or mute directly from the mini player. This is the same system-wide "master volume" the menu bar and Control Center control, so changing it in Amee changes it everywhere, and vice versa — Amee's display stays in sync with the volume keys, Control Center, or any other app.

## Switching output devices

Amee lists your available outputs — built-in speakers, USB, Bluetooth, AirPlay, HDMI — and lets you switch the system default straight from the mini player, without needing to open System Settings or Control Center. The list updates live as devices connect, disconnect, or change.

## Using AirPlay speakers

Amee includes a dedicated AirPlay button that opens Apple's own AirPlay picker, showing every AirPlay receiver currently discoverable on your network — including ones you haven't used with Amee before. Once you've selected an AirPlay speaker at least once (through this button, Control Center, or System Settings), it also shows up in Amee's regular output-device list going forward.

This requires local network access, which macOS will prompt for the first time Amee looks for AirPlay speakers.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.amee.thiennguyen.dev/features/volume-and-output.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
