How to lock audio output at 100% (I think)

[Mnyb]

Aha, well, if I always had control of my senses (and my wallet !) I'd also be "slumming it" with an analogue sub, but I felt the need for some "retail therapy" and now possess a couple of Meridian floorstanders that apparently don't feel the need for any low-frequency support....

the 5200 needs some support especially as home theater, I figured the smaller Meridian worked better in a small room. And the larger ones are awfully expensive I've bougth the dealers demo units for my 5.1 setup, I hesitated for 5-6 years to get dsp's ( due to thier ridiculous price ) but a technical failure in my old stuff forced me to decide.

I'm also being sensible here as i figured that an analog sub would do fine below 50Hz

the G68 room compensation and steep subwoofer filter makes it mate really well anyway.

The Meridian stuff is wonderfull, but at a price . I do live on a relatively " normal " incomme.
saddly in botique hifi the price is a part of the product, so is costly design.
But Meridian delivers, to many expensive hifi things is mostly failed science projects with tubes and golden handles, read HiFi+ they seems to have the highest cult-object to engineered-hifi ratio ever

The "Fixed Volume" is now there in the Settings>Audio section of the Touch.

But, when I click on it, it tells me that it needs to switch to mysqueezebox.com in order to make the change.

How does that make sense?

And in the Web GUI for 7.6, the "fixed volume" option doesn't appear.

In the web GUI under Player > Audio > Volume Control

Hi,

I have a squeezebox Touch and squeezebox server V 7.7

I've installed the "Patch Installer applet" on my SQ touch but i can't find the "patch volume lock 100%".

I wanted to fix the volume and use the plugin for denon amplifier.

Where can i found the patch for 100% fixed volume and still be able to view volume on ipeng for example.

Thanks

Since SBS 7.61 I get 100% volume as an option under audio settings for the Touch. It also appears in the Web GUI for SBS.

The new feature in the Touch for 100% does not work well with the DenonAVPControl program because it locks the user out of the volume settings. Peters patch set the Touch at 100% but the UI still thought it was adjusting the volume. We need that feature to control the device which our plugins will in turn control the amps.

I have a request into Peter to see if he can update the instructions for the patch for 7.7

I did some research on this yesterday and it appears Peters original work is still sound, it just needs a bit of refreshing for LMS.

The problem is that while Logitech 'fixed' the problem of the SB Touch not having a fixed volume they blew the implemenation for those that still want the ability to use the volume setting to instruct a plugin to actually perform the adjustment. This meant that your volume was being output at 100% from the SB Touch but you had no way to control it (in my case with the DenonAVPControl plugin).

The solution is still the same as Peter outlined before. We 'patch' the output to always put out 100% but DO NOT select the 100% Volume feature on the SB Touch menus. Selecting the 100% Volume output defeats using the UI to control the volume hence plugins will not work appropriately.

If Peters patch does not work as it was designed it's because he put a maxTarget restriction on 7.5+ in his repro file. The code looks reasonable and if the restriction was * or at least 7.7+ it should work with Erlands patch installer.

So the modified instructions would be to follow what Peter wrote in the first entry but change the patch file maxTarget="7.5+" to maxTarget="7.7+" of even *.

You can also choose option 2 to use SSH to change the gains mannually. The location is now line 1173 in LMS 7.7.1.

Don't forget you will have to reboot the SB Touch afterwards by either pressing the little reset button or removing the power connector.
