Hello beautiful people,

My wife and I both love the BOOM but we've had one major complain since the early days we own it: the volume settings, even at the minimum, is too loud. 

Probably like many others, the Boom sits on a table besides the bed, a dozen of inches away from my significant other's delicate ears. She gets irritated by the high volume, and who do go guess is getting all the complaints?

Moreover, with this, the "snooze" really does not work and the music stops abruptly when going from 1 to 0.

I have found a prior dicussion on this very subject, where Caleb Crome suggested to open a bug (which has not been done, afaik):

In a nutshell I would like more granual volume control, with a minimum level that's really minimum like a whisper. I don't care about getting any bass at this point as I should be sleeping already :-)

PS: Running 7.7.1 with BOOM running Firmware 57. We don't have this problem on any of our SB 2, SB 3, or Touch since they are all connected to external amps.

Thanks in advance for the support!
Emmanuel
