Hello!

is there a way to adjust node-red-contrib-play-sound volume levels from dashboard?

not according to them, from their github [MattVador/node-red-contrib-play-sound: Node-RED node for play sound (github.com)](https://github.com/mattvador/node-red-contrib-play-sound)

```The

start (or empty): Start playing
stop: Stop all sound playing
pause: Pause all sound playing
resume: Resume all sound playing
The PlaySound node comprises the following options:

audioURI: File name or url to play - If empty, then the one in dialog is used
options: Options - If empty, then the one in dialog is used
```

Not directly, but there is an approach to changing the system volume on a Raspberry Pi, if that leads in a useful direction for you?

> Over the course of my many experiments with the Raspberry Pi and similar I have had constant problems with volume – I remember wasting ages with the Orange Pi – no WAY could I get sound to come out of the analog output. Things are a bit better with...

Take a look at this project I did awhile ago.

> I had some small Cambridge Soundwork speakers hanging around and wanted to do something with them, so I decided to use them with a RPi Zero W as a music box. (I still have to figure out a better mounting method) From the ReadMe: This music player reads a folder (called 'songs') and will play the songs in alphabetical order. Once all the songs have been played, it will restart the list. You can Pause/Resume play, Skip to the next song, go to the previous song and stop playing …

I used a dashboard `silder` to send the volume via an `exec` node to `amixer` on the Pi.

You could try that out.
