[SOLVED] USB-DAC PCM2704 no volume control with MPD

[walschal]

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

No one an idea?

Finally found a solution.

Add the line

Code:

mixer_type      "software"

to the corresponding section of the mpd.conf above.
