Default sound volume

Baltasar

Hi, first let me say this is a great project and I love it !!!

So, I'm experiencing low volume even the sound is at 100% on the analog audio out from my Raspberry pi B+ comparing with the other sources on my HIFI system, to listen the raspberry at the same volume more as led as the others I have to put the amplifier at 30% (minus Db) and usually at 50% I get a average listen volume from my other sources (CD, Tunner, etc).
IS there a way of I increase the signal and setting it as the default 100% for Rune Audio?

Thanks.

You can adjust the volume by entering

alsamixer

into the terminal and use the arrow keys to turn the volume up and down. Press ESC to exit when you are done.

The onboard audio isn't great a cheap USB DAC is much better or you can look into ic2 DACs if you want really high quality audio.

Hi, I already did that, sound is at 100% / max, the problem is the max is low on my Yamaha amplifier compared with the other source, like CD player, SAT receiver, tuner, etc. So when I move from the Rune Audio to the others I have to lower the amp volume a lot, I was searching for something that modify the raspberry analog exit gain so all became even.

I would look into an alternate DAC if i were you.
