This worked for me, the volume seems to be directly on a log scale

Well you probably can. Just edit mpd.conf as follows:

audio_output {
type "alsa"
name "Usb Dac"
device "hw:0,0" # optional
# format "44100:16:2" # optional
mixer_device "hw:0" # optional
mixer_control "DIYINHK Clock Selector" # optional
mixer_index "1" # optional

Replace mixer_control with the name you see on the volume bar on alsamixer

you can find out by doing

sudo alsamixer

Restart mpd and let me know!

Volume control on digital interface is as far as i know impossible. Digital means 1s and 0s, verry hard to make them smaller.

As per the title. Anyone else find this? Same story whether using mpdroid or gmpc. Otherwise no problems and the volume control works on the analogue output. Guess it is a hardware issue.
