Nope have never set the alsa volume, have always had volume disabled in the MPD settings also.
However setting volume to device in the device's settings and changing the volume in Roon you can see that device's volume change in alsamixer.
Yeah DSP is like software volume, it seems to be applied at the server rather than on the audio device/endpoint.
Extra test...
Yes there could be a situation where Moode is showing the wrong volume in the web UI when the alsa volume is changed by another application.
With the Roon device's volume set to device and the mpd mixer setting set to hardware I can change the alsa volume in both Moode UI and Roon. Changing volume in Moode is also seen in real-time in alsamixer & Roon but changing it in alsamixer or Roon doesn't change the volume displayed in Moode's web UI.
Then you got the situation if mpd is set to software mixer but you can have alsa's volume changed by another application causing inconsistent volumes.
