Dear Audiophiles,
since yesterday I own a “HiFiBerry DAC+ Standard”. Volumio (latest release: 2.692) is installed on a SD Card in the Raspberry Pi 3B+.
Every time I flash Volumio “fresh” on a SD card I can control the volume with the wheel right after the wizard. But until I restart the Pi this is not possible anymore.
I read some other threads about difficulties in changing the volume but I could not find solutions that help me.
I compared all settings before and after the reboot and I recognized no differences. I compared the settings under “Playback Options” and both files “mpd.conf” and “config.txt”. When I click ones more in “save” under “Playback Options” -> “DAC Model” without changing the setting, changing the volume works well until I restart the Pi…
I reinstalled Volumio certain times on different micro-SD-cards but it is every time the same issue.
I have tried “moOde audio” and that worked properly, so it should not be a hardware-problem.
Maybe relevant: While I can not change the volume even, there is a noticeable step in volume between “99” and “100”.
These are my settings: mpd.conf:
