[How to do instruction] Installing Roon Bridge on Moode (updated Feb 2023)

Does it automatically uses Hardware volume if the device supports it?

If your audio device supports Hardware volume the way to check what the renderer is using is to open alsamixer and if the mixer volume is at 100% then the renderer uses Software volume. If on the other hand the mixer volume changes in step with the volume on the Roon app then it's using Hardware volume.
