I have done my due diligence

What can we help you with?

I have just installed raspotify on a freh Raspberry PI OS 64bit. I have no external DAC connected, just using the headphone jack to play audio.

Connecting my Spotify to the raspotify worked out of the box: it showed up on Spotify Connect, I could instantly connect to it, and the sound started. It immediately stopped again, though. My Spotify app however shows it's still playing. Whenever I hit pause and then play again, the sound appears for a fraction of a second and then disappears again.

Any ideas what might cause this?

Hard to say since you have not included any logs or any other useful information.

Hi @JasonLG1979, thanks for your quick reply and sorry for the missing logs.

I just re-installed Raspberry Pi OS, this time the 32-bit variant, in order to check if that makes a difference. Then I installed raspotify, and that's it. Behavior exactly the same like before.

Logs:

Does that help? Anything else I could check?

That doesn't really show anything wrong weird. Try running librespot in debug mode (verbose logging) from the terminal. Let's see what it says.

Is it just for that specific track or album?

Answer 6 · 2023-05-08T14:23:37.000Z

Okay, that seemed to be related to my speaker. 🙈 Connected to my PC's line-in the playback works perfectly. Sorry for the noise!

Answer 7 · 2023-05-08T14:24:32.000Z

No worries.
