Volume control not working #84

Closed Arthur-min closed 8 years ago

Arthur-min commented 8 years ago

Hello,

I installed spotify connect web, it works, but I'm not able to use volume controls from my phone. When I use volume buttons, playback_volume and corected_playback_volume are well updated, but have no effect.

$ ./spotify-connect-web.sh --username woop --password woop --bitrate 320 --name Pi3 --device 1 --mixer PCM

$ aplay -l

Now I'm able to use $ amixer sset PCM -- 50%, but when I use my volume control buttons it doesn't work.

What can I do ? Thanks !

EDIT : Added --playback_device hw:1 and it works now !

Hi @Arthur-min,

I've got the same issue, my USB-soundcard won't react to volume changes from the spotify client. Where do you set the "--Playback_device hw:1" part?

Thanks for your help, Thomas.

@binderth the --playback_device hw:1 is set the same place as --username. Use amixer to find the correct device

oh. I think, I don't have the latest nightly build on my pi. The --Playback_device argument isn't supported by my version. I'll try to git-pull the latest Version then.

Thanks for the help, @Arthur-min!
