Solved: Hardware Volume on RPi DigiAMP+ and DAC Pro
#1
Hello,

I'm trying to get the hardware volume to work on my Raspberry Pi 3 with the DigiAMP+. For one, the old IQaudIO guide states that I should use hardware volume. But also I need it for multiroom.

However, when switching to hardware volume, I experience a strange behavior:
  • Volume 0-49 results in -6dB
  • Volume 50 and up results in 0dB
So basically always extremely loud.

When I export the moOde settings with moodeutl I see that the amixname is set to Analogue.

When I run the alsamixer -c 1 (1 is the DigiAMP+ card), I see the Analogue mixer behaves exactly as described above: jumping only between -6dB and 0dB. However, there is also a Digital mixer which behaves very nicely.

This brings me to my question: How can I switch the mixer?

I experience the exact same behavior with the DAC Pro.

Here is the output of moodeutl -l:
