Mapping audio preferences to streamdeck?

[MarkOne]

I'd like to add a button on my streamdeck that automatically opens Preferences > Sound.

I can see how to add Preferences to a key, but not the next step to choose the sound preferences menu.

Any gurus out there can point me in the right direction, or am I asking too much?

Use a utility like Keyboard Maestro to build a macro to do what you want that can then be linked to a command triggered by StreamDeck.

Create a Website button and give it this URL:
ms-settings:sound

All well and good if your OS comes out of Redmond and not Cupertino.

You can get straight to the Sound tab in System Preferences/Setting by holding Option and pressing any of the volume keys (F8, F9, F10, I believe?), so you should be able to achieve it by adding any of those as a keystroke command.

It's F10, 11 or 12 on my Mac.

It's F10, 11 or 12 on my Mac.

Thanks yes Option/F10, 11 or 12.

Many thanks!

My problem is when you assign the hot key, it detects the Option key fine, but pressing any of the F keys Mac OS performs that command, because the OS is always listening for it so the Stream Deck software never sees the key to map it

I'm sure there must be a way.

If you take a look in System Settings/Preferences>Keyboard, there should be a button named Keyboard Shortcuts. Click that, go to the Function Keys tab, and there's a slider that lets you change the F keys into 'normal' function keys rather than defaulting to their macOS shortcuts.

Toggle that on, and then try making a Stream Deck shortcut for Fn+Option+F10.

It might be a pain to get used to depending on how much you use the shortcut keys, but it should work!
