Found it, while looking at the DEBUG output, I noticed the –initial-volume option for librespot.
Added --initial-volume 100 to the Command Line Options, didn’t turn back the volume on the receiver and was blown off my chair 😉
Yes, it works now. Even after reboot, even after removing hw:1 from the command line options. All that was needed was the --initial-volume option. Case closed 🙂
Update: fwiw, –initial-volume 90 brings it more in line with the DAB volume, but that’s fine-tuning.
