Description of Issue
I am running Roon Core on a Taiko Audio Extreme which is connected to a pair of B&O Beolab 50 speakers via USB using a custom ASIO driver which will not exchange volume information between Core and the Beolabs. However the Beolabs have a build in digital master volume control which controls the volume of all inputs.
The Roon Core is set to fixed volume as per default and even setting it to DSP volume control obviously maxes out at the volume which is set as current master volume on the Beolabs. Raising the master volume in order to be able to properly use the Roon DSP volume control is not a good idea as this affects also all other inputs which would be too loud in this case.
So my goal is to use the Roon volume control to directly control the master volume of my Beolabs. Unfortunately I am not able to program myself and was hoping for somebody to help me with this.
Background information:
- There are various extensions that do the job for other manufacturers like Denon, Marantz, Yamaha, etc. My guess is that those extensions may be used as a basis for this request.
- The Beolabs can be controlled via API, there is a very good documentation of the API which contains all needed information on GET/PUT states for Mute, Volume, Continuous Volume
BeoNetRemote Client API
My guess is that everything is available in order to create an extension to fulfill this request.
BTW: as all B&O speakers can be controlled via this API, this extension would be beneficial for other B&O owners as well.
Is there anybody out there who could help me with this?
A solution would be nothing but amazing! Thank you sooooo much!
Best wishes,
Markus
