Theoretically, then, you should not have to over-ride
the mute switch UNLESS you want to "rudely awake" your end-user,
because "normal" sounds from your standalone should be heard unless
the end-user has actually used their physical volume switch to silence
the whole device.

Re: Override mute switch?
Why does a special class of developers (incl. some of the Apple guys) always believe that they must think for the user?
The probability is very high that a lot of the users are much more clever than that whole class of developers ...
After a few trials I don't use iTunes any more. This is an app for idiots (those who believe that the developers are so clever that they can think for them).

Re: Override mute switch?
I actually agree with that, you should not have to over-ride things. Of course, though, I also think all devices *should* have standard ear phone plugs, and that screens should *not* have notches in them, and all devices should be reparable (at least to the extent of putting a battery in them) by anyone.richmond62 wrote: ↑Mon Feb 11, 2019 7:41 pmTheoretically, then, you should not have to over-ride

Somehow, though, the rest of the world doesn't seem to think like that, except in theory

Well, up to a point . . . but one also has to admit AppleI actually agree with that
are a right bossy bunch of *&@%^s.
Or, as some silly person told me, when they invited me to a funeral,
I "had" to wear a suit: of course, as I don't have a suit, I went in my second-best kilt.
