Greetings,  
Could you share some logs when your issue occurs? Else it’s quite impossible for us to help 🙂

```bash
# Logs of the daemon
sudo journalctl -b -u volspotconnect2.service
# Logs of the system
sudo journalctl -f

```

PS: The current dev version is the same as in the plugin repo - you don’t need to install from git 🙂

Thanks for that - it looks like the the daemon is having trouble with your DAC’s drivers.  
The alsa `snd_mixer_selem_get_playback_volume` call is failing for some reason.

Does this DAC have a hardware mixer?  
`Setting up new mixer: card:hw:5 mixer:Cambridge Audio DAC100 USB 2 Playback Switch` seems a bit fishy.

What’s the output of `amixer` and `aplay -l`?

PS: If you don’t want to debug and just want music, use the “Software” mixer in the main playback options of Volumio.

PSS: Edited your post to wrap the code in the \</\> code blocks for better readability 🙂
