Hi, I am using a RPi B with the Hifiberry DAC and Volumio 1.55. Using the HiFiBerry I get lots of distortion which I figured could be fixed by lowering the volume. But since I attached the DAC the volume control in the Volumio interface stopped working.
** Edit: Apparently everything works fine - with excellent sound - except Spotify! Which was my only source of audio. Spotify via Airplay works fine as well because it is possible to lower the volume from the streaming device. **
My mpd.conf is as follows
follow_outside_symlinks “yes”
follow_inside_symlinks “yes”
db_file “/var/lib/mpd/tag_cache”
sticker_file “/var/lib/mpd/sticker.sql”
log_file “/var/log/mpd/mpd.log”
pid_file “/var/run/mpd/pid”
music_directory “/var/lib/mpd/music”
playlist_directory “/var/lib/mpd/playlists”
state_file “/var/lib/mpd/state”
user “mpd”
bind_to_address “any”
port “6600”
zeroconf_enabled “yes”
zeroconf_name “volumio”
samplerate_converter “Fastest Sinc Interpolator”
volume_normalization “no”
audio_buffer_size “2048”
buffer_before_play “20%”
filesystem_charset “UTF-8”
id3v1_encoding “UTF-8”
gapless_mp3_playback “yes”
auto_update “no”
mixer_type “software”
group “audio”
max_connections “20”
decoder {
plugin “ffmpeg”
enabled “yes”
}
input {
plugin “curl”
}
audio_output {
type "alsa"
name "Output"
device "hw:0,0"
dop "no"
}
I have tried to lower the volume with amixer, but using the command amixer scontrols gives nothing. With alsamixer I can see that the Hifiberry has no controls, which maybe makes sense since it has no hardware volume control (?, I’m very new to this). And lowering the volume on the bcm2835 ALSA does nothing. Anyhow, I want to be able to lower the master volume to possibly get rid of the “distortion”.

Any help is appreciated!
