Volume normalizaton for Tidal and Spotify

The volume normalization is not working for Spotify- and Tidal connect. None of the 'gain' settings in the Bluesound app have any effect and the settings of the Spotify- or Tidal apps (Android) also have no effect. It is very annoying, because I have to constantly adjust the volume. I am happy with my Node, but this is slowly turning into a deal breaker.

  Hi Jan

  Spotify and TIDAL Connect are both endpoint solutions. As an endpoint solution, all BluOS adjustments are ignored and the content is simply broadcasted. Your gain or adjustments (if any) would be in those respective Apps.

  The normalization settings of the Tidal- and Spotify apps also have no effect on the volume of the Node. So, basically there is no way to get volume normalization when the Node is used to stream from a music service.

  It sounds pretty weird to me that Spotify Connect and Tidal Connect have no features in their API's to switch on volume normalization for their streams. I do n't know how that works for non-BluOS streamers, but this is a serious down-side.
