Reduce default volume hifiberry dac+

hawantie · February 6, 2017 at 6:50 AM

I am looking for a solution to reduce the maximum volume of a raspberry pi 3 with hifiberry dac running libreelec 7.95.002. I am able to reduce the maximum volume manually by using the amixer command (amixer -c 0 set digital 80%) in the command line, but is there a way to do it default during the bootsequence of the raspberry pi?

put it in autostart.sh

Code

echo "amixer -c 0 set digital 80%" > /storage/.config/autostart.sh

reboot

Thank you. I thought the solution would be something in the config.txt but this is also fine.

Hi,

the line must be

Code

echo "amixer -c 0 set Digital 80%" > /storage/.config/autostart.sh

Digital with a capital D.

Another option is to edit autostart.sh to:

Code

(
 sleep 5s ;
 amixer -c 0 set Digital 80%
) &

If the skin is using a startup sound, you maybe have to adjust the 5s to a more suitable value.
