I'm having a strange levels issue with my Raspberry Pi 4 streamer running Moode. Maybe someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong.
I stream via Airplay to RPi, USB out to MiniDSP 2x4HD, analog out to Vanatoo Transparent Zero powered speakers. It sounds good, but the volume is very low. I have to crank the volume knob on the Vanatoos. Computer volumes are all at max, 2x4HD level is at 0 dB.
If I connect the computer directly to the 2x4HD via USB the volume is fine, plenty of headroom, I have to turn the Vanatoos back down.
Sounds like an issue with the RPi so far, right? But: If I stream to the RPi, USB out to Vanatoo's internal DAC - skipping the 2x4HD - volume is also fine.
So what's going on?
