Lion missing small incremental volume adjustments?

I finally got around to upgrading to OS Lion. I had some apps that needed Rosetta if anyone is curious why I took so long. Anyway, I noticed that one of my favorite feature using the small volume adjustments has been dropped in Lion unless there is an error on my end. What I mean is that I used to be able to use the shortcut Shift+Option+Volume Button to increase and decrease volume in small increments.

Does anyone know how to bring back the feature?

Either that is a system trick I have never heard of before (which is possible), or you've forgotten that you installed a third-party app of some kind that made that possible, and now you need to get an updated version of that third-party app that works under Lion.

It was there before Lion.

It's been removed from Lion but a poster on MacWorld came up with a Script that should do it. Read this URL.

This is why I hang out here. I know a lot, but I don't know everything.

Yet.

I had tried it ages ago but really never used it so forgot all about it. When Lion came out someone else mentioned it no longer worked and I made note that it did not. It can be handy for fine volume adjustment late at night though!

Thanks Dennis. That solution is not as convenient as the old way in Snow Leopard. I wish Apple would bring back this feature. I used it all the time.

That explains why I could not make it work the other night while trying ti include it in an upcoming blog entry. Of course the fact that I was using the wrong keys might have had something to do with it as well.

Even though I kept forgetting it was there, I still do miss it as it does come in handy sometimes. Oh well!

Lol. It's funny that you should say that. I thought I pressed the wrong keys when I first tried it after upgrading to Lion. I had to double check to make sure I was using the right shortcut.

I don't know why Apple would remove a useful feature like this, but I wish they would bring it back in an update patch.
