Group Volume doesn't work for me

I've built a trigger where I would like to lower the volume across a "group". The Airfoil plugin works for controlling the volume of individual speakers but not my group.
I can see the "group" in my device list.

Not sure why this isn't working for you, but I've got a group that shows up as a device in Indigo. And although I've not done it, it appears that I could increase or decrease the volume of the group the same way as an individual speaker as well.

Re: Group Volume doesn't work for me

I don't believe controlling group volume works since you can't do it in the Airfoil window either, but I could be wrong about that.

In any event, I tried it and it doesn't work for me either, so perhaps it's a change to Airfoil (the plugin hasn't changed in many years). Let us know whether controlling group volumes works for you or not and let us know versions. I'll go first:

macOS: 12.6
Airfoil: 5.11.1
Doesn't control group volume

Mea Culpa.

So while it looks like you can set up Group Speakers and change the volume, as Jay has said, it doesn't work. This is something I've never used but at least looked into it for my preceding post when it appeared it possible. I just never tested it.. :(

Thanks for the confirmation.
Not a big issue...just a bit more typing when building a schedule that include multiple speakers
