Low Volume with RuneAudio driving Pi and Digiamp+

Vatternish

Ive bought an IQAudio digiamp+ to be driven by the RuneAudio using software volume control.

After starting up the music, I was disappointed with the amp as it had to be run at full volume to a moderate level of volume out of the speakers. However, when switching the pi software to OpenElec, the volume is twice as loud. Puzzeled as to how this can be. Has anyone else come across this as I would really like to drive the Pi with RuneAudio

Hi Vatternish,

welcome to RuneAudio.

You didn't specify the device you are working on, so i guess it's RP2.
Get access to the console and change the alsa master volume with:

alsamixer

- 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).

Guys, thank you very much. Thought I had wasted cash on the Digiamp but its now putting out decent volume, relieved.

Can now start loading the music up!
