Re: [slim] Syncing volume on some players but not others.

2018-04-30 Thread JeffHart

Unfortunately, seeing the same results that you are seeing - volume
change on *ANY* player will cause all players with "sync volume" set to
sync to its volume.

In my test it was the Receiver in my bedroom that I left at "don't sync
volume" and set the Boom and the Receivers in my living room and office
to "sync volume".  When I changed volume in the bedroom, all of the
other players synced to it at the beginning of the next song.  When I
changed any of the other players, all of the players *except* the one in
the bedroom synced volume.

It doesn't appear that when "sync volume" is set on a player that LMS
checks to see if the other player that changed volume has "sync volume"
or "don't sync volume" set.  

Not sure how a change request/suggestion is made, however, it might be a
useful change to have only players with "sync volume" set to affect
other players with "sync volume" set and ignore when players with "don't
sync volume" have volume changes.

Any chance the Classic is connected to something that you can control
the volume via remote or app?  That way you could leave it at full
volume in LMS and just use LMS to change the volume on the Boom and
Duet.  Somewhat a trade off between using another remote/app v
readjusting the Boom and Duet volume when ever you change volume on the
Classic via LMS

Thanks for doing this. I've read what you said carefully and have done
some more investigation.

When I adjust the volume on the Duet or Boom, they both change. The
Classic doesn't change volume. That's as expected.

When I adjust the volume on the Classic, all three players change
volume. That doesn't sound right although, reading your message, it
might not be the case you tried?

If you still have the players set up, I'd love to hear what happens when
you change the volume on the unsync'ed player.

2018-04-30 Thread JeffHart

Just gave this a try - synced 3 Receivers and the Boom, set 2 Receivers
and Boom to sync volume, leaving 1 Receiver at don’t sync volume. 

When I change the volume on any player, every player that is set to sync
volume does.  If I change the volume on any player other than the one
set at don’t sync, only the ones set to sync actually sync.  I’m running
7.9.2, but if 7.9.1 works the same, you may need to readjust the volume
on the Duet and Boom anytime you change the volume on the Classic, but
the Classic won’t change when you change the Duet and Boom.

Where the volume control is does not really say anything , it’s like in
spinal tap where a guy has a guitar amp that goes to eleven instead of
ten :) neither source output voltages or input sensitivity and gain is
standardised .

IMO using more than half the volume knob is good the pot is more linear
there , hence the azur could be sensible designed to not have to much
gain ei you have to twiddle the knob more .
In practice most amp has to much gain so you don’t have as much margin
as think , with a strong source it’s clips and misbehave long before you
reach the and of the volume control .
To much gain is usually for two reasons people can have old analog
sources with 0,25-0,5 volt output or less , think cassette deck old
tuner vhs player . A CD or squeezebox is about 2,0 to 2,5 volt.
And it’s impressive to the noob in the shop when the amp is “loud” whit
just a little bit of volume
