rune 0.5 on raspberry pi3 now with low volume only

[tsawyer]

I just upgraded to the new version this morning and one thing I noticed pretty quickly is it's not as loud as the 0.4 version. I am using the analog out into shelf stereo. yesterday I played something and could hear it while in a different room easily. I used to keep the sw volume at 75 and the stereo at a decent level. I pretty much could hear it in most of the house. now I have the stereo and the sw volume at full blast and it's ok for 1 room. the same songs I listened to yesterday are much lower in volume. is there a limiter or something that is pulling back the volume?

I did not add the debug output into the post. it seemed pretty long for a post and when I attempted to attach a file I got errors on all attempted file extensions

hi janui

thank you for the response. you were correct with your points. I was able to pull up the alsa mixer and saw the volume level was -500. additionally changes do not survive a reboot. I was able to move it up and the sound is more of what I used to have. is there any way to make the config the default? most times I do leave the box on but now that it's hurricane season I'm expecting a power outage at least once.


on a side note, I took a quick look at the dac. I was trying to avoid that route and keep everything a low cost system. it's not my real setup and I really like the point of spending a little over 100 for everything (including the shelf stereo) gives me a system I can control anywhere in the house and hear thru most of it. that may be something to consider for the real system downstairs but for where this one is I'd really like to keep the cost on the low end

hi janui

I was away on a trip and this is the first chance I've had to play since I got back. I made the edits to the rune_SY_wrk on 2 devices and here's what I'm getting at this point on both of them

• the ui keeps saying
'RuneAudio is starting-up
The page you are looking for is temporarily unavailable
Please try again later'

• the alsa mixer does respond but defaults back to -500%


I can't confirm but it looks like the volume level would be dropped back down after I bounced them. I am able to ssh into them, should I rem out the lines I added or did I make a different mistake that would mess up the whole ui?

A "Raspberry pi B+ 2/3B HIFI DAC + Sound Card Digital Audio I2S Interface Special" direct plug-in board is $12.95 with free shipping at a certain auction site. The even cheaper boards require some soldering skills.
