I have tried burning the Micro SD Card using Raspberry Pi Manager and balenaEtcher - same result with both.
The Raspberry Pi itself is dated 2018 and the only thing that looks remotely like a model number says “94V-OH 1.6”

Please make sure your SC card is clean.
In windows:
Start menu => type cmp => right click => Run as administrator
diskpart
list disk
select your SD card, example
select disk 2
clean
create partition primary
When finished type
exit
remove and insert the SD card again.
Burn image with Raspberry Pi Imager
and try again
You can find the board version with this command
cat /proc/cpuinfo
… but you’d need to install, for example, raspberry pi os first.
Or for the lazy folks, who don’t want to read or scroll
pinout
Lazy? I’d have to get out of my chair to check that.
I followed Wheaten’s advice, burnt a new copy of Volumio 2.917 and I am back with four slow flashes followed by four rapid flashes!!!
It is never this difficult when you see a tutorial on Youtube.
Have you connected anything to rPi besides the PSU, if so remove everything? It looks like the PSU is not providing enough power.
try to connect a screen to the rPi, so you can see if there are errors.
At the moment, I am just trying to boot the basic Raspberry Pi Board, there is no DA|C, No Keyboard and No Monitor.
The Power Supply is a Brand New Official Raspberry Pi USB C Power Supply (15.3W Output)
I tried to connect a monitor via basic Micro HDMI to HDMI Converter, but that never even came to life before the Green Light started flashing
As last resort try to boot an official raspberry distro, to see if it will boot. If this also fails,
check if you have another PSU* for the pi, if this fails too I am afraid that the rPi is broken.
*I know there have been a batch official PSU’s that delivered 4.8 V instead of 5.0V
Could you maybe describe the steps you are taking to flash Volumio on your SD.
I have cleaned the card, as per the previous instructions from Wheaten.
I downloaded a fresh copy of Volumio 2.917 (on the assumption that this is a tried and tested version.
I used Raspberry Pi Imager to burn a copy onto the clean 64 GB Micro SD Card
Installed the card into the Raspberry Pi and plugged in the Power Supply
Left it for ten minutes and then started searching for the Volumio Hotspot
Nothing happening apart from the Green Flashing LED (Four Slow / Four Rapid)
When booting from an SD card, the Raspberry Pi’s green ACT light should have an irregular blink. However, it can blink in a more regulated manner to indicate a problem:
Seems your SD card is corrupt. Source
Same Raspberry Pi 4b, same Micro SD Card and same Power Supply.
I burnt a copy of Raspberry Pi OS onto the Micro SD Card, plugged it in and the system boots up into the Raspberry Pi OS - No Problem
I am tempted to suggest that excuses the hardware side of things - pointing more at the Volumio Software
Hi - I have the same problem - found this thread. Issn’t something that Volumio could address with its update?
Many thanks.
p.s. I have the paid version of volumio.
It is always nice to know you are not alone, but it would be nicer if there was a software update!
Have you guys seen the linked post – please try if this version fixes your boot issues.
Success! Version 3.194 has been installed and is currently streaming Spotify via an Audioquest Dragonfly DAC.
Now to try to upgrade to streaming Tidal!
Thanks to everyone for their suggestions!!!
Hi Thank for the suggestion - mine works now!
Cheers!
This may not be a Volumio issue. The Raspberry Pi 4 has problems booting headless, i.e. without a monitor plugged into it.
Try booting it with a HDMI monitor attched. If it works, then you will need one each of the following to trick the Pi into thinking a monitor is attached.
Great. Solution worked for me.
