What happened to max volume?

Help and Support Help

I updated to Volumio 2.526. I was surprised to find that the max volume setting seems to be gone in the UI. :open_mouth: That feature’s existence was the reason I chose Volumio over RuneAudio. What happened?

Limiting volume is crucial when it so easily is changed to whatever value inadvertedly in the web UI.

Hi Sparky, we did hide the max volume if you have volume set to none.
Could you please let us know:

  • Which device are you using
  • Which DAC
  • Which volume setting (mixer) are you using.

thanks

Sorry for late reply…

I am using a Raspberry Pi 2 with Hifiberry Amp attached.
Mixer type: None

Despite not seeing the MaxVolume setting anymore it still is in effect, I had it at 70 before the option disappeared in the UI, I still can’t raise the volume beyond that.

Edit: I decided to upgrade Volumio and factory reset the device after this. It brought the Max Volume setting back (and changed the reported Mixer setting to Hardware), but on the other hand the volume is now quite muted compared to previously, and if I turn up the volume above 70 the music starts stuttering. I have to look into this.

Edit 2: I reflashed my SD card with Volumio and things seem to work much better now. It appears to me I keep having to do this more or less each time I use the Update feature of Volumio, as I run into all kinds of weird behavior.
