I am having the exact same problem, using the Respeaker Mic Array v2.0 and a Raspberry Pi 3. However the error message is a little different:

Did you both try adding it as
OPTIONS="--device hw:1,0"
and not just
--device hw:1,0
And once you've written the file, then running
sudo systemctl restart raspotify
to restart spotify and then testing to see if the USB DAC was working?
Thanks for your help - unfortunately when I do that Raspotify disappears from the list of available devices in the Spotify app.
I have the same issue. Fresh install of Buster, updated. Blacklisted internal and referenced external. speaker-test -c2 -D plughw:1,0
plays audio test fine through USB.

Oh wow. I got it working.
Used --device plughw:1,0
instead of --device hw:1,0
in /etc/default/raspotify
Edit: added space to fix typo
Amazing, thanks. I don't have access to my Raspberry Pi at the moment, but will certainly try that when I do.
Oh wow. I got it working.
Used
--deviceplughw:1,0
instead of--device hw:1,0
in/etc/default/raspotify
Just to clarify, for me the magic argument was --device plughw:1,0
- i.e. with a space.

This worked for me!
I appreciate this has already been raised in other issues (speciifcally #40) but I've not been able to get anywhere with existing solutions.
Pi is connected to an SMSL AD18 USB DAC/amplifier. Sound works fine when using the browser.
Onboard audio has been disabled using:
blacklist snd_bcm2835
under/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-blacklist.conf
Output of
aplay -l
is:**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 1: AMP [SMSL AD18 AMP], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #207
I have tried with
--device hw:1,0
in/etc/default/raspotify
and with it removed.--device hw:1,0
is included under the service config file ( /lib/systemd/system/raspotify.service)However, when I try to play via Raspotify, I get the following when using
sudo systemctl status raspotify
I guess "snd_pcm_hw_params_set_f" is being clipped (this text is copied directly from the terminal in the pi) but I've no idea what it's clipping, so can't make sense of the error. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
