Volumio 3 Spotify Connect not working

I am unable to connect to Spotify Connect on Volumio 3.
Here is my log file:
http://logs.volumio.org/volumio/IK5dkBj.html

This was my sequence before sending the log file:

  1. Verified Connect2 plugin is installed and enabled
  2. Reboot Volumio
  3. The Spotify app cannot find the Volumio device as a Connect endpoint
  4. In Volumio Installed Plugins tab, disable and re-enable the Connect2 plugin
  5. Now the Spotify app shows the Volumio device as an endpoint
  6. On Spotify, select the Volumio device
  7. The device icon blinks for a few seconds but connection is not achieved
  8. Repeat a few times but it never connects

If I switch back to Volumio 2, Spotify Connect works again. However on Volumio 2 I also frequently had the issue where Spotify couldn’t find my Volumio device but it will find it after I disable/re-enable the Connect2 plugin.

*** Edit ***
I think I found the problem. Looking at the logs, it was showing an error with a missing mixer. I looked around Volumio settings and in Volume Options, the Mixer Type was set to “undefined”. I changed it to “None” and now Spotify Connect is working. I had never touched Mixer Type and I feel this is a Volumio setup problem that isn’t setting mixer to a proper default value.
