Hello all-
My install is nearly complete and I've done some simple in-car testing.
I have two empegs- both running 2.0 player and 439/440 hijack.

Both empegs respond normally in my MLord Dock at home.
In the car, though, one of them allows no control over the volume.

There is a volume ramp- it rapidly gets loud enough to frighten me into shutting off the player.
During one (of the few) attempts, I managed to get the volume 'bar' on screen- it was nailed at 0.0dB and input from the encoder gave me [fixed] on the screen.
My search-fu is not up to par, it seems.
Scanning the FAQ and the forum for 'fixed' 'volume' hasn't yielded joy.
I don't see anything in the Hijack menus that allude to 'locking' or 'fixing' the volume level.
I've never edited the config.ini files for either player (they're both 2nd hand), but I also haven't seen any information referring to volume level fixing there, either.
Would someone be kind enough to enlighten this Empeg padewan?
I don't want fixed volume anywhere- car or home.

The <fixed volume> setting is a standard player setting. I use it on my player, which is connected to the aux-in of my original radio.

There's a setting somewhere in the normal menu, where you can set the volume to 'fixed', but I don't have an Empeg here and I can't remember where it is. I think it is under Sound or Settings somewhere...

From the player software Settings->Volume->Adjustable

Aha!!
So- it's a 'standard option' in the player menus, eh?
I shoulda checked that! DOH!
As with many other options, there must be different 'home' and 'car' settings.
I'll unplug my amp so I can run the player in the car without having to subject my ears/neighbors to the 0.0dB setting while I sort out the problem.

THANKS VERY MUCH!!

Woot!!
Well, that was one of the most enjoyable drives to work that I've had in a long, looong, time!
Thank you, Empeg!

Soon I'll post up something in the install section.

Yes, pausing would've worked- I was sort of in a panic as the volume ramped up though, and didn't think that fast.
My solution was to 'hush' the output with the ir remote.

My Empeg makes me smile.
