I was trying to play a song with spotify installed via snap and got the following errors:
ALSA lib conf.c:3750:(snd_config_update_r) Cannot access file /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf
ALSA lib pcm.c:2266:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM default
No sound plays, I’ve tested snap’s spotify on GNOME and Deepin DE and it works flawlessly but when I start it in a tiling window manager such as bspwm or i3wm the errors occur (I think the problem is something related to notifications). I’ve already tried the following fixes:
I’m currently using arch linux, snap version:
snap 2.30
snapd 2.30
series 16
arch
kernel 4.14.15-1-ARCH
This is probably related to snap because installing spotify through the Arch Linux’s AUR package fixes the issues.
Thanks for reporting the problem. This may be related to what has been addressed in Spotify does not play audio
I understand that you do not use wayland. Do you use pulseaudio? Can you do:
$ ls -l /run/user/$(id -u)/pulse
total 4
srw-rw-rw- 1 maciek maciek 0 02-05 07:04 native
-rw------- 1 maciek maciek 6 02-05 07:04 pid
There should be a socket there. Another way for pulseaudio to find the socket is to look at properties of X root window, can you try:
$ xprop -root | grep PULSE
PULSE_SERVER(STRING) = "{9152da7600c94619af668cc8f273730c}unix:/run/user/1000/pulse/native"
PULSE_SESSION_ID(STRING) = "c2"
PULSE_ID(STRING) = "1000@9152da7600c94619af668cc8f273730c/19383"
Lastly, can you try to run spotify like this and post the log?
PULSE_LOG=4 SNAPD_DEBUG=1 SNAP_CONFINE_DEBUG=1 /snap/bin/spotify

Sorry for the late reply, I do use Pulseaudio and Xorg, the output of $ls -l /run/user/$(id -u)/pulse is:
total 4
srw-rw-rw- 1 chromze wheel 0 Feb 5 08:49 native
-rw------- 1 chromze wheel 4 Feb 5 08:49 pid
$xprop -root | grep PULSE produces no output.
Here’s the log: gist .

Can you try the candidate channel? The command is:
snap refresh --candidate spotify
By the looks of if, the candidate snap already has the fix that we came up with in the other forum topic.

I saw that you have fixed the issue of Spotify snap not working on Windows manager. Could I confirm what’s your way to fix it? I have tried to use DRmare Spotify Music Converter to convert Spotify songs and transfer them to my device. It seems I don’t need to use the Spotify app anymore.
