Audio Control Settings
The Audio Control Settings page lets you configure when music starts and stops, set volume levels for different operating periods, schedule automatic volume changes throughout the day, and plan which playlist loads on each day of the week. Access it via the cog icon (top right) on the Audio Control page.

Note: When the schedule is disabled, the system uses the Club Hours Volume and Extended Hours Volume settings above as it transitions between operating periods.
