Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/MonitorControl/MonitorControl/issues/287

Monitor control already works for controlling the audio via a dock like the Celdigit TS3+. But it doesn't work for audio via Optical wire. I like to see a way to get that working to

Hi, you can't control audio levels via optical since an external receiver/amplifier is involved. I have a solution that controls Yamaha AV receivers directly (via local network), this might be done for other receivers. I plan to add such a functionality to MonitorControl in the future (at least to control my Yamaha receivers but will try to do it in a way that the implementation will be open for other receivers which have some sort of open protocol for control).

Nice. Then I gonna have a look at the api for the Heos by Denon receivers.

Meanwhile you can use this free Hammerspoon script for Yamaha AV control (you can disable the monitor DDC control part of the script as MonitorControl does this better). I made this script last summer and use it daily to control my Yamaha AVs from my Mac via the native volume keys. It uses showddc to show the macOS volume OSD. Works fine alongside MonitorControl.
