Volume Low with iqaudio dac+

ColinY

Using Pi2 & iqaudio dac+ board I messure the output level using test tones to be 9 dB below what is expected from the PCM5122 DAC chip on the board. Same hardware running Volumio gives about the correct output level.

Both players volume control & normalize are disabled.

Hi ColinY,

you can adapt the output level with alsamixer.

- get access to the console
- start alsamixer

alsamixer

- select your audio card (F6)
- adapt the output level
- exit alsamixer (CTRL-X)

This has to be done only once, alsamixer will store this values.

- Get access to the console::
There are two ways to get access to the console:

1.) plug in a monitor and a keyboard
2.) use SSH from your PC
- If you are not familiar with SSH read this for Windows or this for Linux/MacOS
  The default login for RuneAudio is "root" with the password "rune" (without quotes).
