No ip address for volumio gui

I have volumio 3 latest version installed on a 16gb sd card, and now there is no ip address for the gui to configure volumio. I have flashed the cards with rpi imager, after reading about similar issues on here.
I have tried the hotspot?? url of 192.168.211.1 but it can’t be reached.
When volumio boots up, the only ip address given is 127.0.0.1 volumio.local, but that doesn’t work for me either.
I have also tried another sd card in another pi zero connected by a lan cable, but still no joy. Volumio does not even show up in the list of dhcp clients on my router.
What else/
Thanks

try balena etcher of win32diskimager :slight_smile:

I have already tried balena etcher and it was just the same. I use linux so win32deiskimaker wont run on my system

if you use linux just use dd

It was the lan cable which was the problem. I swapped it for another and now have an ip address.
Thanks
