USB-DAC PCM2704 no volume control with MPD - walschal - 20th Aug, 2015 04:06 AM

Hi guys,

finally I got my USB-DAC with PCM2704 chipset working with MPD.

Here's the corresponding section out of my mpd.conf:

Code:

audio_output {

        type            "alsa"

        name            "USB Audio DAC"

        device          "hw:1,0"

        format          "44100:16:2"

        mixer_device    "default"

        mixer_control   "PCM"

        mixer_index     "0"

}

The problem now is, that I cannot control the volume any more, neither with my MPD-Clients (Auremo and MPdroid) nor with the alsamixer. Even the hardware buttons don't work (but I don't care about that).

Does anyone has an idea what I can do?

Thank you very much in advance!

Regards
Walt

Finally found a solution.

Add the line

Code:

mixer_type      "software"

to the corresponding section of the mpd.conf above.
