Hi @balbuze, no way I want to pressure you, but any news about this?
The problem is that it starts with the volume at 100%.
Regards
Hi
In my case it also indicate 100% BUT IT AIN’T 100% VOLUME,just my normal default startup volume at 40% 
Blessings to you all
Hi,
Sorry but I’m a bit busy and I must admit I didn’t spend a lot of time on this…
But, in my case , I have the same behaviour than sonoskiller.
I have not yet find the way to correct it. But I’m working on it.
Hi balbuze
Must say “This is a really good plugin !” 
Have been testing on and off , with different output devices and it works nicely.
Just follow the rule “Set output device, reboot, activate the plugin , reboot”
Two questions:
When rebooting with the plugin active it takes about 30-60 seconds after I got the UI up and running before I have any sound , is that okey ?
(For example during that time I see nothing when browsing “Music Library”, but when I see stuff there I can play and have sound)
The preset profile “Rock” , do you have the actual values for that setting ? (that setting is good but I need to adjust it a bit to compensate for my hearing defects )
Bless you
Hi!
Glad to see it works for you…
It takes time because I had to set some “timer” to be sure every components start properly. But I agree it requires some optimization.
For the presets, it just done with the setup I use to dev…If you want something else, just send me your values, and I’ll add it, or change the preset.
and to answers your question, please find values of equalizer for the different preset :
flat"60,60,60,60,60,60,60,60,60,60"
loudness "67,60,50,50,42,50,46,39,65,50"
rock"67,62,60,55,49,46,53,58,62,64"
classic"66,62,60,59,45,49,58,60,62"
bass = "68,67,69,60,46,50,51,53,52"
voice "31,36,40,51,63,79,73,67,53,52"
soundtrack "65,75,70,60,60,70,70,70,60,70"@balbuze, can not display these values? it occurs to me that it may be a good idea to also display the equalizer controls positioned as the chosen preset.
Regards
Hi,
I 've done a version (never publied) in which I tried to do that.
The problem is the current implementation of sliders in volumio.
It can’t be dynamically change when changing a preset. Only refreshing the page do that. So it not very convenient.
It means, that the current setting appears only when the page is loaded. If you change the setting and apply, the equalizer won’t be updated.
I think it is not usable, and it because the plugin don’t work that way.
But I’m still looking for a solution…
thanks for your answers balbuze
will try and finetune with this values , there something in the 1khz range that’s bugging me
bless you
Do not worry, it’s perfect like this.
i have ugraded to v2.279 test build, after enabling volumio2 equalizer plugin no sound. tried in all possible ways not success. after every restart only startup sound, then system updated message, then no sound. my setup on rpi3+boss dac.
plz help…
Hi balbuze
I’m afraid I have the same issue , I believe it started with the upgrade to 2.271
I have tried back and forth, uninstall, removing the plugin files, etc. etc.
Bless you
Hummm.
Sorry for this. To help me I need more info.
Have a flashing Ui (because I had this before I updated the plugin).
Before enabling the plugin, be sure your system is working properly. Reboot, recheck and then enable the plugin. If no sound, please check if alsaloop is running “ps -axl |grep alsaloop” and what returns “aplay -l”. I checked with my Rpi2 but I don’t own a rpi3. As last modification was adding a timer in the plugin I suspect a problem depending on the device velocity.
Hi balbuze
Just a note!, as I told you earlier it takes about 30 seconds after a restart to get some sound, I like to check “Music Library” and when I see stuff there I know it’s okey, now I never see anything there when the plugin is active and if I click Albums or Artists I get the running wheels for a moment and then back to the Playback dialogue
Edit: same if I play a song from the Queue , if I play a radio channel nothing happens

I see.you have no DAC. Do you use jack as output?
Can you give /etc/asound.conf ?
Yes I’m currently using Audio Jack on my Test Pi, but if you like I can install the plugin on a Pi with a Dac
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm plugequal;
}
ctl.equal {
type equal;
}
pcm.plugequal {
type equal;
slave.pcm "plughw:0,0";
}
pcm.equal {
type plug;
slave.pcm plugequal;
}
The weird things is that I see nothing wrong in the config… Yes you can test with a DAC…
