Low Max Volume

JohnC

Just switched from Volumio and like RuneAudio much better. The only thing is that the maximum volume with RuneAudio appears to me only 75% of what Volumio offers with the same setup (RPi to external DAC via USB). Beside pushing volume to 100 in UI, I tried a couple of other things, incl. disabling "Volume Control" in UI, and push 100 in Alsamixer. Neither seems to help. Any suggestion?

Thanks,
John

Hi JohnC,

you have to get access to the console and check the alsamixer settings.

alsamixer

Select your DAC (F6) and then check each setting available.

- Get access to the console:
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).

Thanks, Frank! It works! "F6" was key as I did not pay enough attention to select the right DAC.

Alsamixer should retain that setting through a boot cycle as well.
