Spotify connect not working

neoben · February 25, 2020, 4:08pm

I can confirm that binding the right mixer with the device is fixing the issue.

I am using raspberry with headphone out. I just installed volumio and spotify connect plugin but can’t make it work. I can see my device on other spotify clients but when I choose to send the audio to my device, it just don’t send it, nothing happens, it can’t connect to my device. Any suggestions?

I am having this issue as well. It pops up just fine but does not allow a connection.

Could you share some logs?

Either from the /dev page using the livelog feature or via ssh.

# Volumio logs
journalctl -f -o cat
# vollibrespot logs
journalctl -f -o cat -u volspotconnect2.service

Note you might need sudo before these commands depending on the version of Volumio your running

What USB dac are you using? It would seem that it doesn’t have a hardware mixer and hence failing. Try using the software mixer instead…

geosock · August 18, 2020, 7:13pm

Works, thank you!! Out of curiousity, what is required for hardware mixer to work? A physical amp?

ashthespy · August 20, 2020, 9:18am

Hardware mixer requires a) your device having a hardware mixer and b) proper driver support for said hardware mixer. What DAC are you running? That should let you figure out if it’s a HW or SW issue…

geosock · August 23, 2020, 4:39am

Im using a Schiit Modi 3, nothing too fancy

ashthespy · August 23, 2020, 11:06am

Ah, that DAC is familiar - it reports it has a hardware mixer, but not sure if it actually does…

Chris_Maslin · September 5, 2020, 5:25pm

I had the same problem with spotify and schiit modi.

In the end I found you need to select mixer type as none.

Save.

And then I restarted volumio to be sure.

That fixed it for me.

joebloe · March 13, 2021, 3:20pm

Thank you, this solution worked for me! Just a change of mixer type to none an a reboot. Running with a schiit modi 3+.

I find a passage about Spotify Connect not working. Maybe this can help.
It introduces these methods:

Use Another Internet Connection
Remove Spotify as a Service
Update DNS Server
Restart Devices
Update Spotify App
Perform a Clean Reinstall for Spotify App
Find an Alternative for Spotify Connect
