Roon Volume Control

Roon Volume Control is the current control-layer project responsible for source selection and volume management above the DSP, DAC, and amplification stack.

Roon is used as the primary user-facing control surface because it provides stable source management, playback control, and digital volume integration without redefining the rest of the signal-processing architecture.

Operational Role

• Provide a single control plane for the playback system.
• Maintain predictable gain structure ahead of the DSP and conversion layers.
• Separate library management and user interaction from low-level audio processing.

This layer is intentionally lightweight. Its role is to provide a reliable operational interface above the signal-processing layer without duplicating it.

Implementation Status

The current public reference point for this workstream is roon-extension-cdsp, which captures the present integration work around Roon-driven volume and control behaviour for the wider DSP stack.
