Trying Volumio... (quietly)
I made the mistake of setting mixer type to none from hardware, which left me with about half volume playback... I got volume control back (eventually) but it was a 2-step process of selecting hardware mixer type again, then restarting, then selecting mixer control name PCM to finally get Volumio back to playback at 100
(I say 2-step if I ignore all the empty rabbit holes of mpd.conf; mpc; alsa, etc... none of which affect Volumio volume that I could find)
Digging into the Hakai archives, I see that Volumio volume control is a bit of a minefield - did anyone get the playback volume default set to 100 except with the Volumio mixer enabled? I'd like to try Volumio with mixer type none, but at full playback output.

Re: Volumio Volume
I may have answered my own question:
Volumio UI, Playback Options
Mixer Type: None
Mixer Control Name: None
Default Startup Volume: 100
Save, then restart Volumio to take effect (I had silence after saving, until I restarted Volumio)
Volumio volume control in the UI now does nothing; playback volume responds to vol control via alsamixer* after ssh'ing onto the Volumio/Hakai box (just be sure to select the right sound card in alsamixer ;)
* And preamp volume, of course :D
For reference, I didn't change:
Max Volume Level: 100
MPD Clients Volume Control: Off
Further ref:

MPD version: 0.21.16

Re: Volumio Volume
I've got the same settings as you, except that I have the Default Startup Volume disabled.

Re: Volumio Volume
Curious 'gotcha': an Initial Volume showed up in Plugins; Spotify Connect; Settings that wasn't there before... it defaulted to 33 - I was wondering why Spotify sounded quiet despite alsamixer still being set to 100, and despite [Spotify] Internal Volume Control being set to fixed on Volumio... :/
Changing Initial Volume to 100, and saving resets Spotify, so I restarted Volumio again (just to be sure) - all is as it should be, volumise (for) now. All a bit of game - Volumio is not without its foibles, is it :?

Re: Volumio Volume
Thx. I'd change it, but then I'd probably have to re-re-restart Volumio - at this point I'll just be glad if I never have to touch the UI again ;)David Neel wrote: ↑2021-01-26 18:32 I've got the same settings as you, except that I have the Default Startup Volume disabled.
Re: Volumio Volume
I found that when I installed Volumio I turned the volume up from 50 to 100 ...is this right ..seems so easy I must be doing something wrong .
I know that tune
