I’m here just to join you shouting out. Great peace of software.

Another update with some sound specific stuff and a firmware update fixed it! Not sure which one triggered the fix.

Yes, alsamixer (as does my main volume control app pavucontrol) does show volume as maxed out. It seems there’s something after that that messes with the volume. :(

I’d read more of this.
