Max volume hifiberry amp+

[deef]

I got a rpi2 with a hifiberry amp+ hat I got hardware volume to work. Only problem is if I by accident turn the volume to 100% it's VERY loud and distorted.

Can I somehow set a max volume which are in the tolerate range and won't kill my system heart and ears. So when I crank it to max in the runeaudio UI it's not really max but a fixed value by my choice.

Hope my question is clear enough, thanks!

alsamixer

I'm not totally sure how to do that? Can you be a bit more precise?

how about change two resistors on the amplifier board ?
so 100% is now 5W and not 25watt
this way you also improve signal to noise floor
ask the berry folks about what resistor to modify.

I'd rather not physically change the board.

Yes @PeteB, if logging in by user 'root' with password of 'rune' then simply typing:

alsamixer

then we cud adjust the original volume.
