Nice :)

Doesn't `volume 128` saturate sound though ?

I have a 2009 Mini connected to a Creative Labs 2.1 and it does.

But then, there's a Lenovo Yoga from like 2016 that plugs into a pair of SOLO7c and that doesn't.

Different stations I start with volume 55-85, they don't all have the same loudness (genre related, no doubt). But the use for radio is for me "fill space, drown out distractions, provide flow" so that I don't need it loud. I'm not actively listening to radio. I didn't choose the song. And that's the point.

Who are you arguing with ?

No, if I don’t set it that high the volume is much lower than the system volume.
