Hi, My spotify service appears to be failing due to a “linear-volume” setting. It looks to me like the spotify service has changed its requirements to “mixer-linear-volume”, and this may be why it’s failing?
My pi skills are virtually non-existent so I would really appreciate it if someone could help me resolve this issue.
Here is the log:
