Do you mean the volume knob is not updating or the volume itself is not changing?

If you want the volume to change AND the knob to update then use vol.sh

pi@rp2:~ $ /var/www/vol.sh --help
Usage: vol.sh [OPTION] [VOLUME]
Change the volume and update the knob.

With no OPTION or VOLUME, print the current volume.
With just VOLUME, set current volume to VOLUME.

-up VOLUME value between 1 and 100
-dn VOLUME value between 1 and 100
-mute mute or unmute the volume
-restore set volume to current knob level
--version print the program version
--help print this help text

Cron is disabled by default in moOde

You could enable cron with sudo systemctl enable cron or using systemd-timer instead.

Hello @TookaFace
Cron is working by default on my Pi

I did Put the Command into a bashfile - and with Cron just call up the file itself it works to me know.
