Volume Settings on Squeezebox Touch and other ???
I don't have a Touch but a MW Transporter ... I assume you are running Squeezebox server on a pc. In the Settings page, I think it's the Audio tab, set digital volume to 100% fixed and now you can use your preamp or DAC to control the volume. If it's variable and since volume is in the digital domain, you will lose resolution. |
Thanks guys, I boggle my own mind sometimes...sure enough I had the tracks on shuffle...yikes what a noobie mistake. Don't understand how you can't have a fixed output for the digital though. By changing the volume I'm sensing their is probably a very cheap volume pot inside that could be messing around with fidelity. How can a digital product which isn't decoding PCM be controlling the volume? |
You could try this patch. Despite forgetting to turn up the digital volume a few times, I haven't found this a big enough problem for me to bother. I just make sure the volume is at 100% before doing any serious listening. |
You can check the Squeezebox touch forum on the Slimdevices website to confirm but I'm pretty sure that there is no way to lock the volume at 100% like you can on the SB3. The only way to do it is to leave the volume at 100% and that's it. As far as your track listing issue goes, I would guess you have shuffle on. If shuffle is on it will play the disc you pick in random order. |
