What it does
VolumeBridge restores Mac keyboard volume keys for HDMI, DisplayPort, USB-C monitors, TVs, and docks. Download the free beta for macOS.
Control HDMI, DisplayPort, USB‑C monitors, TVs, and docks with the keys already on your Mac. Gatekeeper: accepted as Notarized Developer ID locally. Developer ID: Developer ID Application: Arun Saraswat (HMGZQ5TD32). Press the keyboard volume keys. VolumeBridge adjusts your external display audio. Press F11 or F12 and macOS shows the blocked volume overlay. The sound is coming from your monitor, but your keyboard cannot adjust it. Reaching for a hidden joystick or clicking through an on-screen display just to lower audio breaks your flow. Built-in speakers, Bluetooth, USB, HDMI, DisplayPort, TVs, and docks all expose different controls. VolumeBridge smooths over the mess. VolumeBridge…from volumebridge.netlify.app

I wrote a macOS C++ audio driver to fix HDMI volume controlsMar 2026 · github.com · ▲6Hi HN, If you’ve ever plugged an external monitor (HDMI/DisplayPort) or a USB DAC into a Mac, you probably know the frustration: the volume keys instantly die, the volume slider greys out, and macOS throws a icon at you. Apple strictly treats digital outputs as "Fixed Volume" devices and refuses to apply software gain. I got tired of this, so I built SoundBridge – an open-source, ultra-lightweight system audio router that natively restores volume controls for any external device.

Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
