My bedroom wall is against my neighbor’s wall, which means I can’t turn the music up too loud.

I would like to be able to set that speaker to never go above a certain limit, regardless of how the “group” volume goes. 

In other words, say I want it to max at “11.” If I have all the speakers at, say, “3,” the bedroom plays at 3. If I have all the speakers at “10,” the bedroom is at  10. If I crank the group up to “20,” the bedroom stays at 11. The group goes to “30”? It’s a dance party in the living room, but the bedroom remains at 11.

Note this is not at all accomplished with the “percentage” feature.

That is exactly what the title of the thread says I do not want.

That sets the volume to always be a proportion of its setting, not an absolute cap on it.

I don’t want my bedroom speaker to ever be louder than 10 (out of 100).

Using that method, you’d think to set the limit at “10.” That means, though, if I adjust the volume control to “2”, it actually plays at 0.2. If I turn it up to “10,” it plays at 1.* etc.

I want the volume to behave normally, 1-10 being 1-10, but the slider stops at 10. Even if it’s grouped and I turn the master volume up, the speaker stays behind at 10.

In other words, a limit.

 

* Even then, I don’t believe it. I had it set at 15%, and even with the volume at “20” I couldn’t hear a thing, and I routinely have that speaker on 2 and hear it just fine in that room.
