My audio is on SPDIF, I tried change of bitrate, reinstall, changing --device hw:0,1(what should be my SPDIF output)

But nothing helps.

Please help, if you know how.

Thank you

@markerdmann could you add the info from https://github.com/librespot-org/librespot/issues/333#issuecomment-486148173 so we can look at what the expected hw_parameters should be?

Also, it would seem that your using the alsa backend, and not jack?
