I’ve been taking a look at RoPieee over the last couple of days and have it running on a RPi 4b. I’ve upgraded to the XL version to try out the Spotify Connect feature, but I’m not having much luck. I’ve looked through the topics here and see a few people have had issues with playback but my particular problem doesn’t seem to feature.
What’s happening is that I see the RPi listed in the device list in Spotify, but if I try to connect to it, it either thinks for a while and bombs out, or it shows as connected, but bombs out as soon as I try to play anything. I don’t see any errors within Spotify. I’ve tried this on two devices, a Pixel 3 and an old samsung tablet, both cases with identical results.
I read on here about roon locking the audio, so I’ve powered down my roon core, and rebooted the RPi, but this hasn’t changed anything.
I’m using a usb Dac with the Pi, a Muse Mini Usb Dac, which is working perfectly with roon.
Hi Wayne and thanks for the response. I changed both of those settings to USB during initial configuration. I guess I could try the opposite and change them to Auto…
HI there, I am running the same software, but having the same problem. Roon is working through USB on a rpi3b. Spotify connect sees the rpi3b but no would output (yes I am on usb output).
When I performed the install it did throw an error. But roon worked so - i forgot about it.
done a re-flash already. and created feedack. running the raspberrypi3 with usb output at this stage, not hat. Roon has been running stable on a lan.
When Spotify is activated the raspberrypi shows up as a device that can be played too. when selected Spotify appears to play to the raspberrypi but there is no audio coming out of the stereo. There is no crashing or unusual issues. just no sound. connections work on roon.
there was a green download pop up. but the problem still exists. Not sure if that was supposed to fix it or whether it was part of changing to the beta channel?
I believe I did (green colour?). But nothing changed, so I have now tried a new image. No luck! never mind. Thanks your your help. Great service you are providing, don’t stress about it.
