I think the two 'amixer' commands go at the end of the ".profile" -- I 
missed that filename the first times I read through.  Also note it 
begins with a 'dot'.

And can I tag onto this thread (or should I start a new one?)  I am also 
playing with a RPi3 and have low volume problems but with the HDMI 
output.  (Haven't tried the 3.5mm output.)  The volume does adjust using 
the [ and ] keys but maximum is barely audible through my monitor's 
speakers.  I did not notice a change after adding to .asoundrc and 
adding the two commands to .profile (and rebooting).  Also tried max_dB 
30.0 -- no change.  Different commands for the HDMI volume or did I do 
something wrong?

(Decided to add HDMI to Rajil's post to sort of link the threads.)


TIA!


Barry
