Hi all,

I have read this issue in different ways, but every case is different and not all have an answer (none has worked for me).

I am running Mopidy service (although with normal mopidy happens the same) with Raspbian Jessie in my Pi 3.  
I have the output through USB to a [DAC+Amplif (not dangerous link)](http://smsl-audio.com/productshow.asp?id=95) .I get a nice sound, but there is no way to control the volume, that seems to be to the maximum level.

I am using (or have tried) MPDdroid, Mopidy Mobile and Remotedely. And I have also installed Musicbox for controlling it from the laptop. No way to change volume or to mute it.

Any ideas?

Here is my config file (under /etc/mopidy):  
(I have tried different values at “control = Master, PCM…”)

```
