Hi, I'm also having trouble with the volume on Spotify Connect. I can only adjust the volume from my Motorola Moto G (android) --> Laptop (with Spotify Beta with Spotify Connect support). Everything else is not working:
Moto G --> Laptop: working
Laptop --> Moto G: not working
Laptop --> Android Mini PC MK808II: not working
Android Mini PC MK808II --> Laptop: not working
Moto G --> Android Mini PC MK808II: not working
Android Mini PC MK808II --> Moto G: not working
Until today I didn't even know volume controle on Spotify Connect was possible, so it's great Spotify is working on this! Is there any way we can help (testing etc.) to make it work on every device? Is it known why it works on some devices, and don't on other devices?
By the way, I'm using Spotify Premium and have reinstalled Spotify like mentioned.
Hi,
I'd be tempted to suggest the below:
Moto G --> Laptop: working - Correct, connect for Android allows the controlling of or receiving of commands from devices that are connect enabled.
Laptop --> Moto G: not working - This may be because although the architecture for controlling other connect devices is enabled in the PC app. It may not yet be active on your account, so you can control the PC but until activated on your account you cannot yet use the PC to control other devices.
Laptop --> Android Mini PC MK808II: not working - Android mini PC is not connect enabled AFAIK
Android Mini PC MK808II --> Laptop: not working - As above
Moto G --> Android Mini PC MK808II: not working - As above
Android Mini PC MK808II --> Moto G: not working - As above
Although... good scenario's. Maybe give support a shout and see if they can check if connect is fully enabled on your account for desktop.

  • Unable to control volume on headphones for Spotify when using Apple Iphone Dock

    I have an Iphone 5 and its connected to the Apple Iphone Desk docking station.
    I have plugged my headphones into the Line Out port on the back of the docking station
    However I am unable to control the volume of Spotify and it plays music at full volume through my headset
    When undocked it works fine.
    How can I fix this?

  • Turn off Spotify Connect

    How do I disable Spotify Connect?  
    If I've got my tablet (iPad) running the app, I definitely don't want my phone running it and draining the battery with the app running there as well.
    Thanks

    I've just added a guide on ways of disabling Spotify Connect. Hopefully there will be a way of enabling/disabling the service at will in the future.
    How to disable Spotify Connect
    MODERATOR EDIT:
    Hey everyone, Spotify staff here. Recently we updated the Community Idea "Make Spotify Connect a choice" with the status "Not Right Now".
    If you've installed our latest Spotify app for Android (1.8.0) and you're still having trouble with battery drain please let us know right here. 
    We'd also like to mention these other Connect ideas which are a bit more specific to the Connectrequests you've made in this thread. Please leave your kudos and feedback in those as well if they apply to the reasons you'd like to turn off Spotify Connect.

    If you don't see the idea you'd like to see, please feel free to make a new idea and post a link in this thread. We're keeping a close eye on your feedback and we're actively bringing it back to the right teams. 

    Hi... I have a problem with this as well - I find it incredibly annoying. For example, I was out picking up a pizza and listening to spotify in my car... When I got home my girlfriend began listening to Spotify on her cell phone - and my cell phone began playing music from it because my device was the last selected. If at all possible, I'd like there to be a feature to turn this option OFF entirely. I can't see it being logical to have this on by default. I enjoyed the option that stopped my device from playing completely when someone else was using the same account from another machine, hopefully you can bring this back because it totally makes more sense than the way it is now.
    I don't like the ability with anyone who has access to the account to be able to play music on any device that has the app open as well. This can be quite embarrassing if someone accidentally clicks on your device, say, as you go into a meeting with your phone in your pocket and it begins playing "It's raining men" or something... I hope you can understand my sentiment! Again this can be fixed if you just gave us an option to turn this off entirely for any (or all) device(s).

  • Not able to control volume up/down while using Digital AV Adapter.

    Hi there,
    I am using iPhone 5, iPad 4 and digital av adapter. Video mirroring works fine but can't control volume while the devices are plugged with the digital av adapter. The volume button just disappear when it is plugged.
    I use 24 inch monitor with speaker and non-apple HDMI cable.
    Wondering anyone has any idea.
    Thank you for your comments in advance.

    When an apple device is connected to a HDMI display e.g. a TV, it is possible indeed usual for the sound output to be also automatically sent over the HDMI connection to the TV speakers. This works fine.
    However, in this configuration the on-screen volume control on the apple device is disabled and the device has no way itself to control the volume level. The volume level can be controlled on the TV. As this stands, this could be considered normal correct behavior.

  • Control volume from Android to Android with Spotify Connect

    Spotify Connect is great! Since some days ago we can control the Desktop App from our mobile phone or tablet, including volume control. What's still missing is volume control from Android to Android. 
    In this thread it is stated that this function already works, but I have several Android devices at home, and on none of these devices does volume control with Spotify Connect work. More people have this problem, see this thread. It does work from Android to PC, which is already great. 
    I've contacted Spotify Support, and they confirmed that volume control from mobile to mobile doesn't work at the moment. 
    So, the idea is:
    Please implement volume control with Spotify Connect from Android to Android!

    I've been waiting for the volume control feature for a long time now. It is already supported by the Windows Desktop App. Why not on Android devices? I am using an Android TV box with the Spotify App as Spotify connect client. A great tool, but would be perfect with remote volume control. michel123 wrote:

  • [Desktop][Connect] Control Spotify Connect Devices With Desktop App

    Recently, Spotify Connect enabled controlling the desktop app with a mobile device, but this is not complete!
    Allow the controlling of Spotify Connect devices with the Destop App. For example I can control a mobile device from my PC, or I can control the PlayStation app from my PC. 
    Right now I run a virtual machine with a virtual tablet to run the Spotify Mobile app to use Spotify Connect to control devices from my PC, when I should be able to use the desktop app in the first place.

    Updated: 2015-06-30Hello!
    This should already work - as a matter of fact I'm just controling my smartphone via my Desktop atm.
    Could you please tell us what devices you're using and which Spotify versions you've got installed on there? Also are you on the same network on both devices?

  • Volume control with USB Audio device

    Hello all.
    I have just purchased a cheap USB audio device to connect my HiFi to my laptop with only one, neat USB lead and a USB hub - meaning I no longer need several USB wires and an audio cable across my desk.
    This works fine, but I have just noticed that the volume control in OS X has no effect on the output now, only Mute or On. The volume within iTunes works fine, but not the OS X one.
    Any way I can avoid having to use the volume on the hifi when using the USB Audio device?
    Many thanks.

    Don't think so unless that piece of hardware came with compatible Mac software to control it.

  • No volume control elements and/or devices found

    Hi, I recently installed Arch Linux and I followed the tutorials on how to configure it. At this moment I have Gnome installed and it is working fine, I only have one problem.
    Every time if I try to access volume control I get the following error:
    "No volume control elements and/or devices found"
    I'm relatively new to Linux so it might be me just being stupid(Maybe I just don't have the right packages installed) but I've searched the web and I didn't find anything that could help, I also searched this site but there are only a few things about sound problems. I think the problem is caused because Linux is not detecting my sound card (its an on board sound card) or maybe I have not given the command to detect it/activate it. In Google I've found that 'lsmod' and 'lspci' commands are for detecting drivers, so I executed those in my terminal and put them here, I hope this might help fixing my problem.

    Yes, I think that was the problem. Anyways, I reinstalled Arch Linux and everything is working fine now.

    I'm having the same issue and would like to get some help.  I set up a second Apple TV in our bedroom and wanted to be able to control it using my iPhone like I do with the Apple TV in the living room.  The new Apple TV is active on the network and I've made sure the same Apple ID is used for both the Apple TV as well as the Remote App on my iPhone.  I'm just wondering what I might be overlooking.

    Hi glomp,
    From the information provided, it sounds like your device may not be fully recognized by iTunes. Here are two articles (depending on your computer's operating system) for troubleshooting this:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

    Have a good one,

  • Is there a way to be able to still control volume while using a multi-output device?

    I just need to know if I can still control volume while using a multi-output device (or an aggregate device, whichever one blocks the volume changing) because I am trying to record my screen using Quicktime while recording sound on my screen (using soundflower). Any suggestions? I am happy to download an external program to fix it.

    Hello,
    Well we already found that answer somewhere on a forum, I guess you mean add the URL to firewall exception,
    but this doesn't fit Company Security Standard, in my company we cannot allow a computer access internet
    directly exception or not, it is very sad that a company such as Adobe is not able to produce a tool that is
    Proxy Aware for all it's functions (Software activation, Software Serial Checking etc. all doesn't behave the same way).
    We need a solution ASAP as many of our users are not able to use their Adobe Softwares.

  • Song-Radio doesn't work over different (Spotify Connect) devices at same time (anymore)

    In current Versions of the Clients (Android, Windows, Spotify Connect Device (Yamaha CD-N301)) the Song-Radio function doesn't sync the Song-Radio List* (not the playlist!) correct over different devices. For example, if I start a Song-Radio on Android, the correct screen is shown on my Android Device, but in the Windows Client, I see only "a normal playlist" without the thump up/down buttons, but with the (in Radio-Modus not allowed) back button. In the other direction (starting Song-Radio in Windows and look it on Android) it also do not work. It's possible a bug - not only that it worked in older Versions - starting a Song-Radio on Windows with a Spotify Connect Device currently being the speaker (Android or Yamaha CD-N301) results in a "working" Radio Screen in Windows, but the current playing Song isn't that shown on the Radio Screen, but the Speaker Symbol on the Song in front is shown! (see attached screenshot)Starting the Song-Radio in Windows with Windows is the Speaker works. It looks like that it works also when it's switched to another device as speaker after the Song-Radio was started with Windows as the Speaker. Starting the Song-Radio in Android Device shows the correct Song on all devices - even with other devices as the speaker - but it's not shown as Radio on Windows. Possible it's just a problem with the Windows Client - but without more devices to test, I couldn't say, and when starting the post, I noticed it while listening to my Yamaha CD-N301. *: The Radio Screen where I'm able to see the current and last played songs and where I'm allowed to like/unlike (thumb up/down) the current song, and where I'm also only allowed to forward to the next song - not go back to the last ones, so the backward arrow is missing. Well, you possible know what screen I mean - it's that one called Radio :D

  • Spotify Connect & Yamaha Reciever problems - See the device but cannot connect.

    I have a Yamaha RX-V577 reciever with Spotify Connect and update to the last firmware.
    When I try to connect spotify using the Android APP, I see the device but cannot conect to it.
    What are the steps you took to get to the error/issue?
    1. I star a song
    2. Click on the speaker sign with a circle, and click on the receptor (Yahama device).
    3. The grey rounder speaker sign goes from grey to green and the sound waves moves (like tryng to connect).
    4. After a while it goes back to grey.
    IMPORTANT I dont know how sometimes it works, dunno how but after trying alot yesterday It worked. But cannot reproduce it.
     

    I have the EXACT same issue BUT on a Sony STR 1050! It worked fine up until lately. Sometimes I get it to work, but mostly not. When it works, it's very unreliable and often not in synch. 
    It still works absolutely fine with my Computer/Spotify App. I can even tell my PC to use my AVR as sound output and the connect to my PC to listen via my AVR. But connecting directly to my AVR is a PITA. Since more users have the same problem across different AVRs, it seems to be a new Spotify problem and not an issue with my AVR.
    When can we expect that this issue is fixed!? I'm using this feature constantly.

  • Spotify connection with bluetooth devices

    Hi guys!
    I really enjoy this app, it's just gorgeous!
    I play my whole music with Bluetooth devices (Powerbeats Wireless 2 and Samsung Audio-Multiroom M7) and those doesn't work very well just with Spotify, it stops and disconnects every end of a song, it's really annoying because I have to wait for the pairing of any device. I've tried pairing them to Spotify Connect. Samsung M7 pairs but doesn't work very well and Spotify Connect doesn't recognise Powerbeats...
    I hope you could help me because I wouldn't like to cancel my subscription.

    Thank u so much! :D
    Anyway now I have to use my tablet and take it everywhere instead of my phone...
    I love music so I'd do anything just to listen to it.
    Hopefully, I suppose there's an update of Spotify so I'll look forward to it.

  • How to control which Airport device to connect?

    Hello,
    I am using Airport Extreme as my wifi router while I have another Airport Express configured as "Extend Network" to Airport Extreme at home. With the new Airport Utility, it's so great that I can see the connectivity of Airport Extreme, the Internet and the Airport Express. Also putting the mouse over the device I can see where my iPad/iPhone/iMac connected to using wifi.
    I start to notice that my apple devices are all connected to my Airport Extreme (using wifi) and none is connected to the Airport Express even I stand next to the Express. What's the mechanism for the device to connect to, and is there any method to enforce the connection choice?
    Regards,
    Earthy

    Computers will usually connect to the AirPort with the strongest signal automatically.  iOS devices like an iPhone and iPad use a different type of operating system.
    If you want the iPhone or iPad to connect to the AirPort Express, power off the device, move it close to the AirPort Express, and then power it back up again to see if it will connect to the Express.
    There are no settings on a computer or iOS device that will tell it specifically "where" to connect.
