I suddenly discovered that audio got sent to my receiver with airplay. Great!
Since volume can be set on the receiver end, I set the volume from the computer to 100%. However, the receiver is also connected to my tv, and when I later turned on the tv, the receiver was suddenly turned on to maximum volume instead of the previous 17%.
As a workaround, I uninstalled pipewire-config-raop and ATM just use analog stereo output. But is there a setting to prevent my problem with airplay? I could not make sense of the freedesktop wireplumber documentation.
