Quote:- Hardware: Use audio device on-board volume controller.
- Software: Use MPD software volume routine (32 bit float with dither).
- Fixed (0dB output): Assumes external analog or digital volume controller is used.
CAUTION: Set volume to a low level before changing this option.
Fixed (0dB) will output 100% volume level. The actual fixed level can be set by adjusting Max ALSA volume.

I am running moode on a RPI zero w with a DAC which connects to an AMP. Please see signature for more details.

What do I choose?

- If you want to control volume using the moOde knob then choose Hardware (if it appears in the list) otherwise Software.

If your Amp has a volume control and you want to use that instead of the moOde knob then select Fixed (0dB). MoOde will output 100% volume level to your Amp.

Just remember the caution line when changing Volume type options.
"CAUTION: Set volume to a low level before changing this option."
