Looks like this is happening on more than just SC updates. Every time

1. A knowledge base article or readme is going to do nothing in the
situation where, as in this case, one's significant other triggers the
firmware update as requested by the device. The issue is that there is
no messaging telling the user to update the client software beforehand.

With all due respect, Sean, that is probably the last place to look for

Correct, because turning down the volume before the DAC lowers the SNR,
whereas passive analog atten

Yeah, makes sense. And any easy and safe fix to simply re-enable it.

I was just concerned, for SD's
Obviously I'm not Sean, but what he's saying is that you should ALWAYS
have either a conventional preamp (with some form of active or passive
volume control in it, that is NOT turned up to 10/10) or signal
attenuators (resistors) between "SB" style devices whose level
controls are implemented pur

After upgrading to 7.1, if this setting is enabled it will be
automatically disabled and your volume reset to 50. It was the only
solution we could come up with.

Just an FYI: I just updated to the latest SC version 7.1 (as instructed
by SC) and I had the exact OPPOSITE effect. The FW Update disabled my
fixed volume setting. Much safer issue to have I suppose. :)
I had set fixed volume from day one (SB3 over a year old, from SS6.4
days)

Given the new firmware behavior (fixed output = 100% volume on analog
and digital outs), how would you have handled the situation? For the
volume, I see two options:
1) after the upgrade, units w
Issue:
If the firmware is updated on the device (Squeezebox 2) before the
SqueezeCenter is updated, the volume can get stuck on full, regardless
of setting.
Resolution:
Update the SqueezeCenter software, connect to the SqueezeCenter on the
device, then re-run the firmware update by holding down
Go to player settings -> audio, and disable fixed level. This feature
now affects both digital and analog outputs.
BTW you should NEVER run ANY source directly to an amp without analog
level matching. Safety aside, analog attenuation is required to
preserve sound quality.

before you're rolling back please check the settings at

You might want to pull the latest firmware update... I updated my
Squeezebox v2 and now the volume is stuck at full. This is a very bad
problem because I am hooked up directly to an amplifier. I'm lucky I
didn't blow my speakers.
How do I roll back to the previous one on the squeezebox?
