Hey, I'm trying to get some amount of volume control for my Schiit Modi under Linux, since my CIEMs are still way too loud on the lowest possible setting of my Magni.
 
Now from my understanding, the Modi does not natively support volume control, but it is possible for there to be software volume implementations, like in Foobar2000 (not available on *nix!).
 
Does anyone know of something like this?  I've done some googling but I'm not getting anything relevant.

I'm not really sure what music player you're using in linux, but I use mpd. In mpd, you can change your mixer type to software and that should allow you to control the volume output within mpd.
 
Just edit this file `/etc/mpd.conf` and do something like this:
 
Code:
 audio_output { type "alsa" name "Modi" device "hw:1,0" # optional mixer_type "software" # optional }
