The headphone volume of the Move in Live controller mode is unfortunately too quiet and significantly quieter than in standalone mode.

I use the Move very often in Live controller mode and as an audio interface on MacOS. It is very unfortunate that this does not really work with headphones on the Move. In standalone mode, however, the headphone volume is very good.

Does anyone have the same problems with the Move? Is it possible to correct this behaviour?

Did you check macOS' audio&midi settings? You might be able to control Move's output from here.

Thank you! It works, the volume is now perfect. How could I have overlooked this...

Don't worry, you're not the first one.
