I have done zero research into this problem, so you’ll have to forgive me if it’s an easy fix. The issue I’ve been having with my MBP is that once I plug in my headphones, the volume jumps to 100 percent and I forget about it every single time, which perpetuates my already horrendous hearing. This was not a problem with my MacBook, though. If I recall correctly, the volume actually went to 50 percent. Am I missing something here? Is there a setting or did Apple just screw this up?










That happens to me too. Hopefully someone can help us figure it out!
Doesn’t happen to me. Actually my MBP seems to remember the last volume setting for when a jack is unplugged or plugged in.
The mac remembers the volume setting for the headphones so each time they are at 100%.
What to do: plug in your headphones, turn the volume to 50% and then unplug the headphones.
Now change the internal speaker volume to say 30% and then plug in your headphones, it should jump back to the 50% level you set for that device.
ur doin it wrong
My MBP remembers the respective volume settings for speakers and headphones. A small detail that makes me love this thing more. Not sure if @David Pitkin’s instructions will work, but try them.
Er… try doing a PRAM reset, it should solve the problem.
