IRC from years pat the HifiBerry AMP has a strange hardware volume controller thats not based on a dB scale and this causes issues but I see in the amixer output there are 2 simple mixers, Master and Channels. moOde is picking the first one in the list.
Does the Channels mixer behave like a master volume that adjust both channels simultaneously?
Something like
amixer sset Channels 70%
Indeed, the settings are okay, somehow it doesn't get setup properly in Alsa. We didn't had much trouble with it up until recent versions of Moode, also because we set the volume manually of course

pi@thequeensb:~ $ amixer sset Channels 70%
Simple mixer control 'Channels',0
Capabilities: volume
Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right
Capture channels: Front Left - Front Right
Limits: 0 - 248
Front Left: 174 [70%]
Front Right: 174 [70%]
So yes, it works similarly as a master control.
