Im having the same problem, one device with RP3 with IQAudio amp is OK, 3 other devices all PiZero with IQ audio and other dacs wont boot, why is this not top priority for Volumio to sort out, sounds like its Affecting lots of people, come on admin lets have some sort of response

Have they even acknowledged the problem? It looks like it’s just a pathname mismatch for the kernel module files for the ADC.

@AndrewJB Thank you for describing the manual rollback procedure.
That saved hours of setting up a new sd card and putting all the music on it.
Now i am back to 2.587

Just to be clear: have you performed the rollback using any Linux distro or there’s a way to do this under Win10? I can only see the first partition, other two are not mounted.
Thx in advance.

I used an Ubuntu 16.04 VM within VirtualBox on a Windows 10 Pro host with my usb 3 card reader passed through to the VM, but any modern Linux distro should work fine.
The reason Windows 10 doesn’t mount the other 2 partitions is because they use the ext4 filesystem, which is mainly used with Linux and is not readable on Windows 10. There are 3rd party drivers for EXT4 but I have never used or tried them.

Thx AndrewJB

Your post helped me a lot. Using Virtualbox and Ubunto iso I have managed to get to /volumio partition with system backup, but I could not save anything on /boot, since I always got error message that it’s read-only filesystem. Remounting to -rw did not helped. I have saved the tar archive to my NAS and extracted the content on /boot partition under Windows. It brought up Volumio back to life, thanks again

Obvious this was not tested. And astonishing that 2 months later no fix. And more disturbing we’ve not even seen a response from volumio!! I for one have always doubted their viability. Bugs and broken promises. Its time for me to move to a different product. Suggestions? All i really need is streaming radio and available to spotify or tidal via connect.

It seems to me that since MyVolumio, that’s where all the effort is going, and I certainly understand the need financially support the project, I wish there was more care put into the original. I do think there should have been a more visible announcement about the failed upgrade, there were multiple help posts about the same issue, most got ignored.

I think overall in the last 3+ years using it, this is the second major fail I’ve had, so still pretty good track record for an free project.
