Install VolumeLock via Settings > PluginsДў. I could keep this to myself but I'm sharing it.ДЎ. This hack is really for my use, and I only care about FLAC, including Qobuz and Tidal. If you need a patch for a different version, PM me and I will provide them. The files are patched based on 7.7.6 and 7.9. To avoid accidents, I recommend not using the IR remote. Using the client volume controls (touch screen or IR remote) will reset volume to maximum on the server! For this reason you must use VolumeLock plugin to protect against inevitable accidents (first step below). You must use phone/tablet apps or web UI to change volume. If you have a 16 bit DAC then you can alter the nf yourself, or contact me for help The nf is set up for 24 bit volume control Volume control via SoX dithered at 24 bits, no player attenuation.

Other formats work only partially (MP3, OGG Vorbis, WAV). Support for Qobuz and Tidal streaming - volume change is not immediate but takes effect on track change/restart (i.e. Support for FLAC - volume change is immediate though there is a short silence whilst the stream resumes server-side via SoX. Volume control via phone/tablet apps and web UI.

The best place for volume control and/or up-sampling with a 32 bit DAC is likely in the DAC itself - not SoX/LMS - so I advise if you have a 32 bit DAC stop reading. Note it's possible to do on-the-fly up-sampling with Sox - PM me - if you do that then the up-sampled stream would normally be 24 bit.Дў. If you are using a standard LMS/Touch set up always with volume above 40 and only 16 bit music, this mod isn't for you.ДЎa.
