Spotifyd no volume - wrong audio hw

[mapeje]

I am using an Inno-maker Amp (Merus Amp). It seems like the settings did not change from hw:0 to default:CARD=sndrpimerusamp etc. from the web interface.
Solution, thanks to Gemini, was to edit /etc/spotifyd.conf and change to

volume_controller = "alsa"
device = "default:CARD=sndrpimerusamp"
mixer = "default:CARD=sndrpimerusamp"
control = "A.Mstr Vol"

Log:
spotifyd 0.4.2-1# cat /etc/spotifyd.conf

[global]

bitrate = 320

onevent = "/srv/http/bash/spotifyd.sh"

use_mpris = false

backend = "alsa"

volume_controller = "alsa"

device = "hw:0"

control = "hw:0"

mixer = "hw"# systemctl status spotifyd● spotifyd.service - A spotify playing daemon
