Index out of Range

As i try to use the Start Command:

spotify-connect-web/spotify-connect-web --playback_device hw:1 -m PCM --mixer_device_index 1 --bitrate 320 --name "moOde Connect" --key spotify-connect-web/spotify_appkey.key

in it's form provided by the Readme, i get this error:

Loading Spotify library...

I already tried changing the mixer_device_index to 0, still the same.

Output of aplay -L:

I can't fix it, and need help. Thanks!

It appears you do not have a hw:1 playback device. Please try changing that to hw:0.

That perhaps also require the mixer to be 0, not sure about that.

You may also need to change the -m PCM to -m Digital as per the instructions suggested by Tim from Moode.

My instructions are meant for USB DACs, I have no onboard DAC or other boards I can test this with! If we find a working scenario for your setup, we could add a case-by-case scenario to help others.

Let me know how it turns out.

Best regards,
Rafa.

Still no luck:

Did you ever manage to get this sorted out? You could try without hw:0 but the actual names? Or default?

Really not sure what else to try.

Best regards,
