Trixie/ DAC (CarPiHAT Pro)

[hudiy]

A follow up to this, I've seen it briefly mentioned though sometimes when I boot the pi it all loads fine and if I have my autobox plugged in will auto play media but the volume is either a decent loudness or quieter... is there a way to set a consistent volume level or max volume output for best control?

Did you observe any differences in the volume levels in the output of pactl list sinks and pactl list sink-inputs when the issue occurs? Are there any differences in the audio routing? Restoring the volume level of the sinks is the responsibility of the PipeWire/WirePlumber. You can set the desired volume level using pactl set-sink-volume xx% command but anyway it should be handled automatically by the WirePlumber. Hudiy lowers the volume level only during playback of the navigation guidance (ducking).

I've been keeping an eye on pactl list sinks and it would appear the sink is set to 100% correctly and then when i run Hudiy again and start carplay/navigation it ducks the volume to 40% and doesn't reset to 100% for some reason... is there a way to force with reboots the sink always sets to 100%?

Hudiy applies ducking by modifying the sink input (stream) volume, not the entire sink volume. Could you please post the outputs of pactl list sinks, pactl list sink-inputs and pactl get-default-sink commands before Hudiy startup, after Hudiy startup and when CarPlay navigation is started?
