I still could not adjust the volume bar (it went greyed out) - but I could crank up the tv volume directly and get sound. Went to System Preferences > Sound and selected: 'Panasonic TV' as the output device. We hooked it up to an HDTV via HDMI and booted up. I asked to have it hooked up to one on display - so I could see for myself. She then recommended that I go into the Apple store and have the mini checked out.Īt the apple store, the apple tech took the machine to the back, out of sight, and returned about 20 mins later to say that it was working fine. I've spoken with an Apple tech over the phone and went through a number of reboot (while holding down certain keys, etc.) to no avail.

I've also updated my macmini whenever an update is released (within a few days). (In not sure if I had this before or not - dont completely remember seeing it, but vaguely do.) I notice that when I switch input on my TV aerial to the MacMini (HDMI 1) I get a little yellow triangle with exclamation mark in it, and the text: 'AUDIO only' at the bottom right of the tv screen. The speaker icon in the top right of the screen is also greyed-out and not changeable. When I switch from internal speakers to HDMI, I notice that the sound volume bar at the bottom of the screen goes faint, and I can't adjust the volume using the sound keys on my keyboard (bluetooth) When I say it is not an option, I have two lines under name and types as follows: However, about 3 days ago, sound output via TV was no longer an option power, and reconnected as I had to re-setup my tv (all reconnected in the same outlets via HDMI) Then about a month ago I was back in the Sound preferences and found that I was able to get audio output via the TV speakers.Ībout a week or so ago I disconnected all incl. power, and reconnected as I had to re-setup my tv (all reconnected in the same outlets via HDMI) (also got rid of the stereo at this point) Somewhere between then and a month ago I disconnected all incl. Sound output via TV speakers was not working when I first connected the two (about 4 mos ago)Ĭouldn't figure it out- and just used an headphone cable to connect the mac mini to a stereo I have a Mac Mini 2010 connected to a Sony Bravia HD TV via an HDMI cable If you haven’t yet used the app, this is definitely an update that makes it even more worth checking out.Krusdublin: I am experiencing similar issues with no real solution yet: Plus, recent additions like pressure sensitivity for Apple Pencil have made the iPad, using Duet Display, a better external display than most dedicated external displays. The keyboard support, which is also very handy (it means you can use an iPad as a second display for an iMac – or as a sole display for a Mac mini without another keyboard, for instance), works across platforms.ĭuet Display is already one of the most useful apps available on iPad, and now it’s the only way to check out Touch Bar outside of the new MacBook Pro. This feature is also exclusive to Mac, in case that wasn’t obvious. You can toggle the virtual Touch Bar on and off in the Duet Display menu, and it’s off by default. Expanding availability of Touch Bar to desktops and others who can’t currently access the new feature should help generally boost the appeal to developers in terms of building support for Apple’s latest input device.

It contextually updates depending on what app you’re using, just like the real Touch Bar, and it supports long-press actions for controlling brightness and volume, as well as other handy features like typing predictions and the emoji picker.ĭuet CEO and founder Rahul Dewan says that his team is also working on making it possible to customize the Touch Bar when using the app with contextual and global shortcuts a user can assign.

The Touch Bar is the most noteworthy part of this update, though, and it works incredibly well in use, speaking as someone who also uses the standard MacBook Pro hardware Touch Bar regularly.

The update to Duet Display also adds support for input from an iPad keyboard, which means that if you have a Smart Keyboard or other accessory like the Logitech Create Keyboard for iPad, when you have that attached to your tablet while running Duet Display you can use it for input, on both Mac and PC versions.

It’s not the same as having one built in to your computer, but it is a good way to play with Touch Bar functionality and see how it works with your existing workflow in Apple’s native apps and other software that supports it, like Photoshop. If you have an iPad, you have a very capable external display for your computer using Duet Display, and now you can also experience Apple’s new Touch Bar without having to pick up a new computer.
