Installed Mopidy on RasPi 3 and tried to play track on the webclient. No audio and the track plays for 4 seconds and restarts. Same experience with YouTube.

Iris WebClient is where I am trying.

Here’s my Mopidy Audio Config

```
Is there anything I am doing wrong here?

A **full** regular log would be more helpful. As well as the _full_ output of `sudo mopidyctl deps` and `sudo mopidyctl config`. And confirmation you are running Mopidy as a service.

@kingosticks I am having the exact same issue. Super Linux noob here so please excuse any dumb questions from me as I go figure it out.
Also noticing this message in the log:
