After years of no problems my Volumio won’t play.
I get same error all the time:
Failed to open “alsa” [alsa];
Error opening ALSA device
“hw:5,0”;
snd_pcm_hw_params() failed:
Broken pipe
I have installed newest version of Volumio 2.834.
Done several of factory resets
No plugins installed
Device is Asus Tinkerboard S
Dac: esi-audio gigaport hd+ (dac works fine when connected to another source)

Mmmmm. Can you enable resampling to 16 bit and see if it works?
Thank you for quick reply.
I enabled 16 bit but still same error.
I have no plugins installed right now, but the unit has been used only for Spoity with Spotify plugin before factory reset, and that does not work either, same error
I installed the Spotify Plugin: 2.0.2
When I start playlist Volumio is stating “Loading playlist” and I get no error, but still no music.

@volumio do you have any other suggestions of what I can try to get this to work again?
The DAC is working when connected to another streamer.
I also tried exact same setup, but with another Asus Tinkerboard S, and got same ALSA-error.
I solved it!
Installed an old vesion of Volumio and now everything works fine again
Old version that works: volumio-2.729
Dac: esi-audio gigaport hd+
Interesting…
What kind of output were you trying to play? 16,24 or 32 bits?
I am not sure. I tried “factory setting” and 16 according to your suggestion earlier in this thread.
Let me know if you need any other information.
