@ashthespy i think it’s the wait between pressing buttons… of 30 sec…
now it’s seems to work on the 3.14… only bit slower than the 3.10
and getting pretty hot 67 °C added extra fan … 48°C
if i press a song i have to wait 30 sec before playing…and every song next…
System information plugin : if closed on pc stays open on rpi 7inch screen…

Seeing the same exception in mpd.log on a Pi3.
Only seeing the exception when changing tracks with forward and back arrows in the UI.

Hmm, does volume control work fine for you from the VolumioUI?
I need some more debugging info
cat /etc/mpd.conf
# Replace <card_num> with the card number from `aplay -l` that matches your card
# So if you dac is card 2, command is amixer -c2 scontrols
amixer -c<card_num> scontrols
FYI I can also recreate the same error in mpd.log:
Dec 17 09:18 : exception: Failed to open mixer for ‘alsa’: no such mixer control: PCM
In my case, there is no add-on card… output is set to HDMI, mixer to hardware and MPD Clients Volume Control set to off. All of these are defaults as far as I can tell. While I can see the error, tracks do in fact change fine when clicking next/previous.
If I enable MPD Clients Volume Control, MPD will restart and then that error no longer appears in the mpd log.
That log entry seems to be from MPD. When that “clients volume” option is off on this new beta, the MPD status no longer provides a volume level and it’s possible the issue is tied to that somehow where it tries but fails to determine the volume.
Looks like there is mismatch in the mpd configuration options that Volumio sets (old mpd version).
If you can share /etc/mpd.conf when you face the errors, (and mpd.log warnings about the missing/redundant config options, will start adjusting things for that as well)
30seconds it probably how long it takes to download the track from youtube. I am not aware of what/how it is doing this, but that is probably also the reason for the high CPU usage.
Please check if the 30s song changes are also present with local tracks, or Spotify/tidal for example?
