Beocreate4 + pi 4 with buster

Hello,

I'd like to use only raspotify and the beocreate with some old car speakers.

I installed the DSP Tools and ran through this: https://www.hifiberry.com/docs/software/configuring-linux-3-18-x/ , whereby most of that config must have been set by DSP Tools install.

I am able to play music on the pi with the raspotify client, but the volume is quite low. Have checked alsamixer and have master and DSPVolume. Changing the master raises and lowers the volume, DSP volume does nothing.

Have I missed a step in configuring the card or will I need to set up a dsp profile to get louder sound out.

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: sndrpihifiberry [snd_rpi_hifiberry_dac], device 0: HifiBerry DAC HiFi pcm5102a-hifi-0 [HifiBerry DAC HiFi pcm5102a-hifi-0]
  Subdevices: 0/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ amixer
Simple mixer control 'Master',0
  Capabilities: volume
  Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right
  Capture channels: Front Left - Front Right
  Limits: 0 - 255
  Front Left: 255 [100%]
  Front Right: 255 [100%]

  Front Right: 255 [100%]

If I need the profile, I understand the best way to keep the pi as clean and simple as it can be would be to put on https://github.com/hifiberry/hifiberry-dsp, create a profile with SigmaStudio and send that over?

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
