Change volume level set during AV wizard

[ardirtbiker]

Is there a way to change the volume level set during the AV Wizard without re-running the AV wizard... the default is 80, however it affecting my receiver sometimes in playback of movies.

Thanks,

Open a terminal or ssh in and:

Code:

sudo alsamixer

Typically you have a master volume and another volume output. 80 is about right for master.

Thanks l3mce... 

I was wondering if the avwizard was setting the alsa volume (as opposed to storing a value in a db table somewhere)

No, it adds live + values to a scale it creates on a range from 1 - 100%. For instance my 100% is actually 11 (yeah... ats roight... vese go up to 11). That configuration is stored by alsa. However the current volume state of the specific output device IS stored in the database (example Front). I do not believe the intent of AVWizard is to grab the main volume, but it does sometimes.

Unfortunately, adjusting alsamixer has no affect on the S/PDIF output (sometimes I dont think too hard as it cant be adjusted).

For some reason, just recently the S/PDIF signal from my MD to my receiver is 'clipping' my receiver, but only at 'loud' points in the audio stream.    I havent had this problem until the last month or so.  It only occurs with some movies (dvd rips) and sometimes in mythtv.


Is there an 'internal' audio level for the media players that can be adjusted?

Digital output cannot be adjusted. It is either on or off. If it is clipping the problem is between the output and your speakers.

Thats what I feared.   Gonna see if there is an adjustment in my receiver.

Thanks
