Dear forum members,

i'm using MPDroid for Android - in combination with Raspberry B+, Raspbian and DAC+.

After having installed DAC+ and set it up as described here:
http://www.hifiberry.com/guides/hifiberry-software-configuration/
the volume control in MPDroid ist not working anymore.

I've searched this forum and some other ressources, but couldn't find a fix for this.
Your help is very welcome! :-)

Kind regards!

  Hi Matthias,
  
  unfortunately I have no experience at all with MPDriod. But you might have to change the setting for the mixer control on your MPD installation and configure the right ALSA mixer control for the DAC+.

  Hi Danniel,
  
  thanks a lot for your usefull hint.
  
  Indeed, i had to change one more entry in the mpd.conf file: in the section "Volume control mixer" the entry "mixer_type" must be set to "software".
  
  Everything's ok now, the output quality is perfect. :-)
  
  Best regards

  The DAC+ has also a hardware control. You just have to find out how to configure it in MPDroid.
  amixer will list the controls.
