No sound on Muse Luxe v2 with sendspin

ESPMUSE
1

I received my muse luxe speaker recently. It works relatively well with the bluetooth firmware, but I can’t figure out how to make it work with Music Assistant (sendspin) which what I wanted to use it with.

I tried the official firmware, I tried building from GitHub - RASPIAUDIO/esphomeLuxeMusic · GitHub, Update esphome build to 2026.5.0 by nerzhul · Pull Request #1 · RASPIAUDIO/esphomeLuxeMusic · GitHub, and Smooth, No stutter Sendspin firmware for Luxe & Proto . The best result so far was from the last one, where I get a few seconds of music at first. But then it stops playing (although it seems from the MA UI that it’s still going). With the other I get no audio at all.

Any suggestion for troubleshooting would be appreciated!

are you using latest music assistant, and if compiling yourself latest esphome?

3

I think so: music assistant 2.8.8, esphome 2026.5.1

4

i tested the yaml with latest MA and Esphome and it works just fine

5

i added a version with voice assistant too, you can try that and optionally try to flash over usb from the webpage (the last one you tried)

@Deco Thanks for you answer (and for your work on the firmware!)

Unfortunately, flashing the version from Muse_Luxe still gives me the same issue: it plays for a few seconds, then stops.

Looking at the logs, something seems to be going wrong, maybe playing issues? E.g.

[17:41:47][W][esp-idf:000]: W (137723) sendspin.time_burst: Time message 3/8 timed out

And/or connection issues?

[17:41:52][W][esp-idf:000][httpd]: E (142671) sendspin.server_connection: httpd_ws_recv_frame failed with -1

And at the end, it says this which makes it look like that the firmware thinks it was still playing up to the end of the stream, even though the music stopped much earlier…

[17:45:03][W][esp-idf:000][httpd]: D (333756) sendspin.client: Stream ended - player:1 artwork:1 visualizer:1

I pasted the full logs here if you’re interested. This is right after flashing (and wifi setup), while playing one song.

i flashed mine with same firmware when i posted the reply, just to be on same page. and it works perfect here so i would think it’s more possible it’s your Music Assistant setup or network issues, did you try to remove the player from MA and let it find it again?

Removing the player from MA doesn’t seem to help. It just re-appears with the same issue.

I tried to look into possible network issues, but nothing helped so far. The other thing is that I have a Voice PE, which AFAIK is also running the esphome sendspin component, and that works without issues on the same network. This seems to me an indication that the network setup is not preventing sendspin to work.

Hi Gregoire
Please note that the GitHub version of esphomeLuxeMusic has only been tested (and works) with esphome 2026.3.1!
A new version for esphome 2026.5.3 is coming very, very soon.

A new version of esphomeLuxeMusic is available (2026.1.5). It corresponds to esphome version 2026.5.3 and fixes several minor bugs.

I look forward to your feedback…

@sbar thanks! I just tried 2026.1.7 from https://raspiaudio.github.io/ and then a custom build (so I can see the logs). Same result in both cases: there’s definitively progress, as I get a bit of music, but it’s stuttering and it still drops a lot (every few seconds).

At this point, and since other people seem to have better success, I’m stating to wonder if this could be a hardware issue?
