Ideally at the output, you want a high signal to noise ratio, so you want to reduce the volume as little as possible before it leaves your PC as analog, as quieter volumes make line noise more noticeable, which will then get amplified when you turn up your speakers/headphones. As your speakers/headphones are the last device in the chain to your ears, that is preferably where you should be controlling the volume. Its not really possible, although you can do some things to mitigate the problem. The shortest setting is instantaneous, while the longest takes one minute before the computer adjusts the volume. For a start, if the sounds comes out of your computer in analog form to your speakers/headphones etc, there's no way to somehow sync the physical volume control on the speakers back to the PC etc. Adjust volume for various windows mac.

Concise edition: We trust Apple more than others because they stand to lose billions if their 'premium' brand is tarnished by bad security or nefarious acts. But that trust only goes so far. If you never sign in to Apple for iCloud, App Store, iTunes and other things, then you aren't bad off. But, like on Windows systems, you also have to not install and run software from the likes of Adobe, Spotify, Facebook, Microsoft, Google, et cetera.

Any of the software from these folks could be used to narrow down who you are and correlate your activity with your identity. All these bits of software can cause leakage, and a VPN helps, but doesn't fix things. You might be amazed at how accurately Facebook can track you even after you've logged out, deleted cookies, purged your cache, and so on. But we know that Facebook is evil.

TL;DR: If you never log in to sites and don't install anything, you're pretty OK on a Mac, and your Tor activity can't easily be correlated with you. VPNs are good. Please no PIA.

PLEASE NO PIA. Here are the facts: Heh, Google Analytics. Read this too: PIA accepts ICANN and its funny corporate TLDs.
