Hello,
I have the same situation.
I have a setup with an Nubert Nupro A-20 Speaker directly connected via USB as sound card.
Problem:
after a clean install of volume 1.55 and if I use the USB DAC from Nubert A-20 connected via USB the volume knop in the Volumio Web Front End regulates the bass level but not the volume level as expected.
My Resolution so far for the “Volume Knob Problem”:
Change /etc/mpd.conf --> mixer_control to “PCM”
[code]audio_output {
type “alsa”
name “Output”
device “hw:0,0”
mixer_control “PCM”
mixer_device “hw:0”
mixer_index “0”
dop “no”
[/code]
Additional Information:

Remaining Problem:
after rebooting the raspberry the sound still has far too much bass level.
Root Cause:
in alsamixer the bass boost is always enabled after reboot of the raspberry pi --> see screenshot
Solution:
login via ssh and always change the bass boost by selecting the entry and pressing “m” button on keyboard to disable. Unfortunately the setting always get lost again.
root@volumio:/home/volumio# alsamixer
Question:
Any Ideas what I can do to prevent volumio to change the alsamixer bass boost settings. My other alsamixer setting remain untouched, only the bass boost settings change.
Any help is very much appreciated
Solution for the “Bass Boost” Problem:
After searching for hours in the Startup scripts in order to find the position where “volumio” umutes all amixer or alsamixer settings I finally found the script:
/home/volumio/unmute.sh
Loops through all settings:
I changed the script and added::
[code]amixer scontrols | sed -e ‘s/^Simple mixer control//’ | while read line; do
amixer sset “$line” unmute;
done
AZI Unmute Bass Boost
echo “AZI Bass Boost switched off in /home/volumio/unmute.sh”
amixer set “Bass Boost” mute
amixer set “Auto Gain Control” mute
echo “AZI done”
[/code]
