[split] moOde 8.3.0 and CamillaDSP Volume

[Tim Curtis]

I'm still getting the other issue that @ycdtosa mentioned: When turning off Camilla loudness, volume reverts to 'hardware' instead of the required 'software'. Since my DAC doesn't have hardware volume available it would play at 0dB if I didn't notice.

What model DAC?

It's an IFi Audio Zen DAC V2.

When switching from CamillaDSP volume back to MPD volume (Hardware or Software) the preference is to use Hardware volume if the device supports it. The volume level is reset to the knob value so even if MPD volume is set to "Hardware" it should not be at 0dB unless the knob is at 100.

Try the command below to see if moOde thinks the DAC has a hardware volume controller. It will either return the mixer (controller) name for example "Digital" or "Master" or it will return "none" if moOde was unable to determine the actual mixer name.

Code:

sudo moodeutl -d | grep amixname

The command below lists all the "simple mixer" controls the device reports to ALSA.

Code:

# Specify card 2 for USB connected DAC
amixer -c2 scontrols
