WAY too loud

smelv

Hi all my first post so be gentle to me

I've just finished building the Pimoroni Picade which is recommended except its WAY too loud. I'm banned from playing it. Editing the rc.local file to run amixer cset numid=3 1 at boot up solved the no sound problem but adding amixer sset PCM,0 50% to reduce the volume has no effect.

However, if I try sudo amixer sset PCM,0 50% in the command line and then test a .wav file the volume is reduced. It appears PiPlay doesn't respect the volume setting and reverts to 100% volume every time it boots up.

This was discussed in a previous thread with the conclusion it's an Alsa problem but I'm not convinced.

Thanks. It is installed though. Just re-checked.

The rc.local file shows it at 30%
The /var/lib/alsa/asound.state shows the sound to be less than 100%

But it still defaults to 100% on booting. Very odd

No I was using nano. Just tried the above as well though which hasn't helped.

I'm sure it's something simple. If only I knew what

This is pretty much the most inclusive tutorial on also that I have come across, it's usually what I check when I have sound problems.
