I always appreciate your glass-half-full spirit, Eric!
I'll be the Gloomy Gus and counter that turning the volume up is the easy part. It's having to turn the volume down (at the end of an Atmos album or playlist, before Tidal's unquenchable Autoplay kicks in with something I didn't want to hear in the first place, at a deafening volume) that's the pain in the arse, made even worse by the fact that I tend to listen to surround music at louder than normal volumes, the better to appreciate the detail that a good surround mix often opens up.
If someone can tell me how to silence Autoplay on Tidal for Firestick once and for good, I'll stop complaining. I have a ticket in to Tidal, although based on past experience, my hopes aren't high. No answers on Reddit. I've made sure to open the settings on every other device on which I have Tidal loaded--laptops, desktop, Kindle Fire--and uncheck Autoplay. Yet it still kicks in on Tidal for Firestick. And the only setting you have access to on Tidal for Firestick, unfortunately, is "Streaming quality."
