Hello,
I am still experiencing the same issue mentioned in this Thread. Any solution on the horizon?
Thanks, Sunny
Hi,
Just to chime in here, I am trying out Roon and RoPieeeXL. Experiencing the same behaviour with Spotify and Airplay. Hardware is a rPi2 with generic USB sound dongle (DAC being ordered).

Hi,
Thatās not comparable. The original issue was related to HATās that are capable of doing (hardware) volume control.
With an USB DAC thatās (mostly) not possible, the only solution here is to use software volume control.
Thanks
The behaviour I am seeing is the same. The Roon volume acts like a master and the Spotify and Airplay volumes adjust within zero and max of what Roon is set at.
Now that my DAC have arrived (IQaudio DAC+ and IQaudio DAC Pro), what would be the recommended settings in RoPieee XL to support AirPlay and Spotify volume control? Set it all to hardware across the board?
I am running this with powered speakers for now, no other audio components in the path.
Hi @Adi_Linden,
Sorry for the late response, I missed your post completely.
Iāve added support for hardware mixers on the IQaudio DACās last week in the beta channel.
And yes, for this setup hardware mixer is the best solution.
If you feel up to it you can try the beta channel, otherwise you need to wait for the next release where this will land.
Thanks

How would I access the beta release?
If you go to the āadvancedā tab thereās a setting called āUpdate Channelā.
If you set that to beta and follow the instructions youāll be upgraded to beta.

Roon volume adjust volume. Airplay from iPhone and when I change volume on the phone, the volume slider in Roon goes along with it.
Tried Spotify but it disconnects the instance I try to change volume. I wonāt be using Spotify but I tried it anyways, and thought Iād mention the result.
FORGET THIS. Found the cause to be bad connection between HAT and RPI. Everything is fine. Truly an excellent piece of software!
Hi @spockfish. I installed your excellent software today for the first time on a RPI3 with an AudioPhonics DAC 9028. Earlier today I tested Volumio on this device and there were no volume problems.
With RoPieee, the volume is almost unhearable when Roon DSP volume or Fixed volume is set to max. This is the only problem, the rest seems perfect thus far.
I have enabled the USB DAC as a paralell option with volume forced to 100 but no effect.

Remedy?
Have you tried ādevice volumeā?
See above, error not related to your software. Sorry for the interrupt. Error was/is that GPIO connectors are a little vulnerable.

@spockfish, RoPieee is great. Perfect. One question: Is it compliant with the following DAC from Audiophonics, with regards to the functionality of the right display showing ānow playingā etc? If not, would that be possible? See link to product, containing a note regarding right display and the need to install either a script or one of several images for the RPI4, one of which (if you follow the link) seems to be an alternative to RoPieee. Thanks for any response.
Hi,
It is not. I also donāt plan to do this. They provide (repackaged) images, which is not possible with RoPieee.
Thanks
Hi @spockfish
Iām back to using Ropieee XXL with an audioquest dragonfly USB DAC.
I have this problem, maybe there is some setting that solves this?
- when Iām playing to the Ropieee endpoint via Airplay, from Apple Music on my Macbook the volume control is very jumpy - I mean one press on the volume control on my mac is moving the volume by 5 units. However if I open Roon remote and select the same endpoint the volume can be controlled normally, from the Roon interface while the endpoint is still playing music via Airplay. I hope Iām making sense
Is there some way to solve this? I know there are some volume settings in Roopieee but I donāt understand what they do and Iād rather not play around with them.
Thank you
