Anyone else having issues with their spotify plug in? I can stream, use Spotify Connect, from my phone, but not on the computer via Windows Spotify App. https://community.volumio.com/t/new-volumio-spotify-plugin-open-beta-testing/56406/781 I can use Spotify Connect from my phone, but when I use Spotify Windows App (v 1.220.1216.0) to connect to my local LAN Volumio player, it shows green for about 2 seconds, then kicks back to black and plays via local computer. The Spotify Plugin on Volumio web GUI shows 3.0.9. Here are couple of screen grabs of the spot in the Windows App I supposed I could just move to Moode or some other equivalent player?

Edit: the PI2AES does in fact have a (apparently pretty good) SPDIF BNC output!

@Zlone: thanks!

I prefer the BNC connections as well, not sure why they are not more common. I would suggest looking at Ian Canada: https://www.audiophonics.fr/en/dac-and-interface-modules/ian-canada-transportpi-mkii-low-jitter-digital-audio-interface-transmitter-p-16472.html They make a ton of different audio related boards for the Pi. I have not tried one, but am considering building a new streamer based on their tech.

Just realized that my DigiOne Signature has been up and running for about 4 years! Are there meanwhile other RP hats offering a good SPDIF output on a BNC connector? The Pi 2 Design devices seem to offer good SPDIF outputs but only on Toslink and RCA connectors ... Thanks, nbpf

Is this easy to swap as long as you have a decent soldering iron? Ive never done a large chip like that before. Do I need to take it to someone with a desoldering station?

I have the same issue I get the Cannot open ALSA error.... I have a Cambridge DAC Magic 200M that shows up if connected to the front but not the clean USB port. It has worked there for years. Apparently the latest Volumio update killed the back port...thoughts? Thanks Charles

anyone care to shed some lights, two units ran into the same issue is tough luck :-)

It's the Transportpi Digi + Monitorpi.

What board did you get from Canada?

Update: Sent the Allo Digione back. Ordered a similar board (ian canada) and that worked instantly.

Failed to open "ALSA Default" (alsa); Failed to open ALSA device "_audioout": No such file or director I've two units of the Allo Boss2 in the factory blue casing, it shipped with MoodeAudio but i've not uses at least a year from purchase, one it's brand new in the box, one i used it in the past, recently i just powered them up and get the software updated on the UI. I tried to play any songs but it just show the error msg in the first line. I try "aplay -l" it shown as no soundcard pi@moode:~ $ aplay -l aplay: device_list:272: no soundcards found... pi@moode:~ $ Am i possibly such a bad luck that both units went into this issue, i tried open it up and nothing pops up as a eyeball check as an issue, I tried remove Jumper18 and power with dual powersupply but result are the same. Any help will be much appreciated.

I checked again, there ara no heatsinks on the raspi installed, so no shorts on the Allo Digione. In the meantime i tried another image - max2play. I configured it as described on their web page, but no luck. The Digione won't output on SPDIF. There are two LEDs on the Digione top layer they are both green when the device is powered. I think the device is just defective ... my older Hifiberry Digi just works with every image i've tested immediately.

I don't think i have any heatsinks installed on my pi, but i will check again, thanks.

I had a similar problem -- the RPi I bought from Amazon had two or three heatsinks already installed. When the Allo Digione was installed, the heatsinks were shorting out the bottom of the Digione board -- everything else seemed normal -- except there was no audio output. A little electrical tape between the heatsink and the bottom of the Digione board fixed it. So maybe check for shorts like that.

Hello allo-community, recently i bought a digione hat for my raspi4. The raspi is running Picoreplayer 8.2 with the official 7" touchscreen and an older Hiffiberry Digi without any problems for some years now. I then exchanged the hat to run the Allo Digione in the same setup. This is what i've done: 1. switched the soundcard from Hifiberry Digi to Allo digione in squeezelite setup with reboot 2. removed the hifiberry digi and installed the allo digione 3. started the player 4. no sound with the player connected to my marantz cinema 70s cinch spdif input 5. setup a new sd card with picoreplayer image selecting the allo digione as soundcard and installing jivelite for the display 6. now there was a signal on the spdif output 7. enjoyed music for aroud 2 hours the the music started to stutter und the turned completely off 8. restarted the player and it worked again 9. the next day i started the player and there was no sound 10. reinstalled the old hifiberry switching the soundcard in squeezelite and immideately had sound 11. swithed again to allo digione with no success till now the hifiberry digi just works and the allo digione has no output PS: i'm using official raspi4 psu (5.1V/3A) regards Uwe

I've installed the latest MoodeAudio and I'm having trouble configuring it. The device isn't playing sound. In the audio settings, I've selected the named I2S device "allo Boss 2 DAC."

Update: The issue was apparently inadequate power going to the RPi through the DAC. After pulling the J18 jumper to enable sending power directly to the RPi via USB-C, the machine has sprung to life - booting quickly and reliably.

My Boss 2 player will not boot. It had been slowing down over the year it worked - sometimes taking overnight to boot, and stopping momentarily during playback. I flashed a new SD card using the 2023-03-14-moode-r830-lite.img (apparently the DAC is not compatible with newer Moode versions, per the Moode forum). It worked for a day, but unfortunately after I shut it down before a storm, using the web UI, it has not booted since, despite repeated flashings, trying the original SD card, and so on. Does anyone have a link to a known, working SD card image for the Allo Boss 2 player that I could try? Thank you.

Hi team! Bought a Nirvana SMPS on 08/2/2021 Invoice #IN013757 (Order #011915) Now it's intermittently on and off, plug it starts and then goes off, eventually after a few seconds on again. Video here. Doesn't seem a cable connectivity issue but the board itself. What do you advice? Thank you!

You changed the USB controller in the USBridge? Did you swap for the same controller (meaning the one in the USBridge was bad)?

It seems problem with USB controller TUSB4041IPAPR. I changed with new one (bought from Aliexpress) and back to work again.

Ditto. Any update?
