Hey @Rochambeaux,
The log shows the problem clearly:
VOLUMIO_VERSION="3.912"
PRETTY_NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)"
Machine model: Raspberry Pi 5 Model B Rev 1.0
This is Volumio 3, not Volumio 4. Raspberry Pi Imager’s “Media Player OS” option served you an outdated V3 image.
Volumio 3 supported Raspberry Pi 5 but without RP1 support - the new southbridge chip that handles much of the Pi 5’s I/O including USB, ethernet, and GPIO. This limitation means V3 on Pi 5 is a compromised configuration. The HDMI audio problems, streaming failures (HTTP 403 errors on YouTube), and “Device or resource busy” errors in the MPD log are symptoms of this mismatch.
The fact that WiFi “works” on this install is coincidental - V3 has completely different network code than V4. This does not indicate V4 has WiFi problems.
Correct Installation Method
- Download the current Volumio 4 image directly from Get Started - Volumio
- Flash using Raspberry Pi Imager - select “Use custom” and choose the downloaded image
- When prompted with OS Customisation options (hostname, WiFi, SSH settings) - click “No” and skip this entirely. Using OS Customisation corrupts Volumio’s first-boot initialization
- Boot the Pi with the freshly flashed media and complete setup through the Volumio wizard
Detailed instructions are here:
Once you have Volumio 4 installed correctly on your Pi 5, if WiFi or HDMI problems persist, provide a fresh log and we can investigate from there.
Kind Regards,
