Andrew,

i have two upnp devices

#57 Sonos 3 (Room 4)
#103 SqueezeBox Radio (Room 7)

they both work fine in just playing sounds (or displaying favorites)
But they won't switch the volume.

in media_conf, i have following lines:

Room=4; AudioDev=57; VideoDev=; KeepScreenOnForOSD=no
Room=7; AudioDev=103; VideoDev=; KeepScreenOnForOSD=no

should the volume Control work ?

In Room#'s 3 & 4 what device is receiving the audio commands? If you have no external device like an Amplifier then it would be the AppServer for the MM in each case.

All the best

You need to set a MediaConfig line for the Room that each of your SqueezeBoxes/SqueezeSlaves are in. Therefore if you have a SqueezeBox in Room ID#10 you would set the AudioDev to the Dev ID# of the SqueezeBox  in that Room (get that from Web Admin obviously)... let's say the Dev ID# for that SqueezeBox is 30. Therefore you would add a line such as the one below;

Room=10: AudioDev=30; VideoDev=; KeepScreenOnForOSD=yes

All the best

I'll take a look today... but the rate of volume up/down on the Squeezebox's is actually pretty small. Start something playing in one of your Squeezebox zones and then check that the internal volume level of the Squeezebox itself is set to say 50%. Can you hear it now? Is the Squeezebox receiving the stream? If it is you should see the name of the current playing track on its display. Do you?

All the best

Andrew,

thanks for you rreply. Squeezebox is working as expected. It is receiveing the strem and vol up/down works. Only mute is not working.
The device i am talking about is a sonos (device 57), in the past the vol up/down was working, but now not anymore.

Thanks for digging into it.

Andrew, did you find time to look into the sonos device?

We're looking at what's causing this and will update the package/device once we understand what's causing it.
