THE L1ZARD KING Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Hello All, I recently had the iTunes/AirPlay driver installed and I noticed some odd behavior. When play the first song from after everything coming from an off state the initial volume up or down sets my iMac volume to 100%, and since I am using AirPlay it sets my receiver volume to 100% as well. Thankfully I have a limit set on my receiver so no damage occurs. The odd part is that after this happens on the first song it isn't an issue for any song after, unless the room is powered off and the process is started anew. Any thoughts on why this might be happening? The iTunes/AirPlay driver version is 100. Thanks! -Ty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my Pixel XL using TapatalkI have Composer home edition but I don’t see anything regarding volume. Is the setting only accessible in the full Composer for integrators?

THE L1ZARD KING Posted January 4, 2018 Author Share Posted January 4, 2018 Here are the settings I see. Unfortunately I wasn't able to obtain a copy of the "full documentation" they mention on the documentation tab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE L1ZARD KING Posted January 4, 2018 Author Share Posted January 4, 2018 Since I don’t see any volume controls in the driver properties I wonder if this is now handled via “connections”, can anyone confirm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyknight Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Mix up above of shairbridge vs itunes driver - the latter will not have volume. It sounds like there may be something set on the ROOM default volume - or if not the Denon is going 100% volume due to settings on the Denon itself (follow airplay device) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE L1ZARD KING Posted January 7, 2018 Author Share Posted January 7, 2018 I just wanted to fill everyone in what the fix ended up being. Ultimately ShairBridge was installed and the iTunes/AirPlay driver was reconfigured to AirPlay to the ShairBridge rather than my AirPlay enabled receiver. Also the ShairBridge driver was configured to "Ignore Source Volume." Thanks to @eddy.trochez for the help on this one! -Ty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE L1ZARD KING Posted January 7, 2018 Author Share Posted January 7, 2018 Indeed you did, however ShairBridge wasn't installed at the time though. The volume option is for ShairBridge driver, not the iTunes/AirPlay driver per @cyknight's comment above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE L1ZARD KING Posted January 8, 2018 Author Share Posted January 8, 2018 I was simply referring the name of the following driver. I agree, it is not an AirPlay driver but can orchestrate an AirPlay workflow via iTunes. Possibly a rename is in order to avoid further confusion. https://drivers.control4.com/solr/drivers/browse?&fq=manufacturer%3A"Apple"&fq=primaryProxy%3A"ipod" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkoos Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 In terms of the Shairbridge driver, I'm confused. Did you turn "ignore source volume" on or off? I'd like the source (ie, my iPhone or iPad) volume slider to control the volume, but of course don't want to blow anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinkoos Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I think it’s the opposite. The documentation says something to the effect that with it on, the source (ie, iPhone) doesn’t control volume level other than the volume being on or being off. That’s how mine is set right now and the slider doesn’t do anything other than: all the way to the right - audio/volume is on all the way to the left - audio/volume is completely off There’s no granular control in between. I’d like to test with the setting off, but I want to first make sure that I won’t blow a speaker or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Africa C4 user Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 What OS are you on? There was a problem a couple of versions back so you probably want to be on OS2.10.2 or later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdougray Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 I am running 2.9.0 so that could be the issue. Thanks for you reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
