The good news: without volume set to minus 1, players perform as they should The bad news: at -1, none of my players output any audio (Airport Express, ATV4, Libratone zipp mini or Loop mk2)
But maybe this is a blessing in disguise. The Libratone app allows me to control the Zipp mini directly (not the Loop). In the app I can see volume is reported at 100% at startup (I can dial it back with the app). 100% would be indeed ok, in some cases, for boxes that must have an amp in tow (AE, ATV). But it is kind of dangerous for airplay speakers... I've set log to debug but saw nothing out of the ordinary. I'll look at LMS players log and update this post if I find anything. I am beginning to have second thoughts about this request... Especially when the ultimate goal is, for me, to have all-round bidirectional control (volume, playback and all.) Here are 2 experiences that work fine for me, perhaps you'll see how to transpose that. 1) My Loop is hooked to an SB3: - Line-in and Airplay have their independent attenuation setting - Airplay has precedence over line-in on the device - When airplay streaming, the volume button on the target and the volume slider on the iPad are linked - When line-in is used, the volume button acts as the master on line-in - The SB3 is set to use digital volume control because the Loop doesn't have any remote, and I love the SB IR remote. (I have the master set to about 80%) Scenario: I listen to my SB3, at some volume. Then I hijack the target to send audio from a video I watch on the iPad, and usually I have to increase volume. Then I shutdown the airplay target, and music resumes at the prior level. 2) My ATV is hooked to an AV amp. I have set the device to fixed audio output, and control volume with my amp's IR control. I don't need to mess about with 2 remotes to control volume during playback. 4 SB 3 Libratone Zipp Mini iPeng (iPhone + iPad) Squeezebox Server 7.9 (linux) with plugins: CD Player, WaveInput, Triode's BBC iPlayer by bpa IRBlaster by Gwendesign (Felix) Server Power Control by Gordon Harris Smart Mix, Music Walk With Me, What Was That Tune? by Michael Herger PowerSave by Jason Holtzapple Song Info, Song Lyrics by Erland Isaksson AirPlay Bridge by philippe_44 WeatherTime by Martin Rehfeld Auto Dim Display, SaverSwitcher, ContextMenu by Peter Watkins. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ epoch1970's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16711 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105114
