Spotify Connect no longer working (since late August)

[curban]

Not sure exactly but it’s been going on for awhile, maybe a few months. Every few weeks I try again and it doesn’t work so I end up using Bluetooth which is disappointing from a quality and experience point of view.

A few years ago I bought a USB -> optial (toslink) adapter. Then I bought a Dialog, and stowed the adapter away. I brought it out today to see if I can run Spotify on the computer and connect via optical to make it work. Then I could play local files via Spotify, too (which was the original reason for getting the adapter). The adapter is from iFi. Toslink output on the right.
