Hi Sergio,

the easiest thing for us would be for you to enable support access and provide the dashboard URL. We can then try to investigate where exactly this is failing

I have a little additon to my previous comment. I have expanded the fleet to 4 devices, master is always the same Pi (a Pi3+), the other 3 are Pi2B’s. It almost works flawlessly, except that when I overrule the fleet variable for system volume on 1 pi, it stops giving audio all together.

- Raspberry PI 3 (1x), 2B (3x)
- Release `e852f72`
- No DAC (JACK output)
- SYSTEM\_OUTPUT\_VOLUME = 100 (Fleet variable)
- CONNECTION\_NOTIFY\_VOLUME = 100 (Fleet Variable)

@br3wal, I believe release 58e0d5d is the version before multiroom was introduced. Did you push the code again from balena-cli? ( [https://www.balena.io/blog/diy-raspberry-pi-multi-room-audio-system/#update-sound](https://www.balena.io/blog/diy-raspberry-pi-multi-room-audio-system/#update-sound) )

Edit: The settings and volume stay at 100% even across reboots.

`e852f72` already had multiroom if I’m not mistaken. I pulled from Github and pushed again anyway with the same result.

Hi there, we just merged a couple of fixes to balenaSound that solve some volume handling issues. If you are still experiencing this type of problems I suggest you update your sound devices to the latest version (`v2.1.4`). For more details and context on the fixes feel free to read this thread: [https://github.com/balenalabs/balena-sound/issues/117#issuecomment-609097464](https://github.com/balenalabs/balena-sound/issues/117#issuecomment-609097464)

Cheers.
