Hi,
I use MPD server and want to enable software volume control in ALSA:
In MUSIC PLAYER > ALSA CONFIGURATION > OPTIONS, I input the option mixer_type <software>, as sugested in Snakeoil manuals, but system returns an error, asking for ".
I know mdp.conf file asks for mixer_type "software" syntax, but when I input this in OPTIONS field the mpd.conf doesn't show the "", show only mixer_type software.
What to write in OPTIONS to enable software volume control?

Been a while since I used that. What did yuu type in exactly? Are you saying the following doesn't work?
Code:
mixer_type "software"
Yes. That was the code I entered in OPTIONS.
But what is saved in Mpd.conf is mixer_type software, without the "".
Thanks for this nice free OS And for your attention.
It looks its a problem when converting text from web app input box to the .conf file.
The "" disapear.
I've tried to edit mpd.conf file, but when I restart the MPD server, it overwrites the file with wrong syntax.
This looks like a bug. Apologies for that, I'll see what the problem is and fix this in the next update.
Very thanks for new firmware with bug correction.
Tested and working!

See wiki on MPD:
https://www.snakeoil-os.net/wiki/Players/musicpd
Almost certain MPD 0.23.x should still have this option..
Yet to test this as I don't use software VC, or digital volume control, or gain. Everything is passed as is to my pre-processor, and then I use that volume control to attenuate. <- Be amazed how effective this can be, especially on CD level music.
Where can I find the configuration file of mpd 0.23.5

Should be a sub folder of /var/www/players
