Hi,
You can try to select 'amixer' type first and adjust a volume in the player to the value which you need (e.g. 30%). Then change the type to the 'player'.
Another way - use 'player' type, open terminal and run command 'alsamixer', adjust the level to the value which you need.
Hopefully it helps.
Best regards
Hi,
The first idea doenst help. I still an adjust to max volume.. Btw, when changing to "amixer", the volume goes up to max.. grrr :-)
I already tried alsamixer, but it says "This sound device does not have any controls". Thats because there is no HW volume control. But, i can adjust the volume. The "only" thing I cant do is to set a maximum for the volume.
I searched for a VLC parameter for something like that, but wasnt lucky
Here they use mpd: https://github.com/MiczFlor/RPi-Jukebox-RFID/discussions/1073 But "my" /etc/mpd.conf seems to be a template. Dont want to edit it directly. Dont know if its a good idea if I have a frontend like Peppy which maybe handles that.
Thanks for the help!
Hi,
So, you can adjust volume using 'player' type but you want to limit it to some level, right? For example you want to have the range 0-60 but show 60 as 100. Is it what you need? I can implement this kind of functionality in the next release.
BTW, you can switch from VLC to MPD in the Peppy player. The mpd.conf file is located in the folder /home/pi/.config/mpd Though more likely MPD doesn't provide the same player functionality which VLC can provide.
Best regards
Hi,
yes, a reduced "real" volume range - but still shown as a 0..100% range would be perfect.
The aim is to restrict the loudness my daughter can adjust. Also going 100% with a miniAMP from Hifiberry doesnt sound that good.
Not that convinient, but would be also ok. If Level is allowed to go from 0..60%, if pressed above that level, it jumps back to 60%
Would be great if you could implement that. Thx
Hi,
OK, I'll try to fit it into the next release. There will be a new configuration parameter 'maximum.level' in the 'volume.control' section. It will be impossible to set level above that value.
Best regards
Hi,
I've just released the new player version: https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?p=2226392#p2226392
Here is the new configuration property: https://github.com/project-owner/Peppy/blob/287e16d8489c1d9f19340459c14438b908209ddf/configuration/config.txt#L179

Hi,
Thanks for the Quick Integration! Till now it works great.
Thanks ahain.
Hi,
probably I´m to dumb to find this: I would like to set a maximum volume level a user can set using the UI
I use a Hifiberry miniamp which volume cant be adjusted via hardware. I use vlc as player.
Here https://github.com/project-owner/Peppy.doc/wiki/Volume-Control it says
Player - the audio player's (e.g. vlc) volume control functionality will be in use. The ALSA volume level (80% by default) will limit the maximum player volume level. The player's range 0-100% will be changing volume inside of the ALSA range 0-80%
So, where can i find the default 80% i would lower to e.g. 30%?
