As title... I use my Macbook with some external speakers (Creative inspire 5.1) connected via Optical out.
When playing music in iTunes, I can adjust the volume by using the dial on the creative receiver, or by changing the iTunes volume, however when I try and use my macbook's remote - it won't change the system volume. The volume icon appears on screen but has a circle with a cross through it.
Now I assumed this was just something to do with optical or outputting to external speakers in general, however I've just realised that if I use Bootcamp and load Windows XP, the macbook remote will change the volume no problem... so what's going on then? Is there any way to get it to work properly under OS X?
