The Linux Kernel has built-in drivers for your graphics. No additional drivers needed. > I just added i386 to dpkg and installed wine32. This seemed to resolve a > lot of problems.

Have you tried installing Spotify via vanilla Wine, instead of PlayOnLinux? > The attached log file is for Spotify.

Granted, this is the version that is in Stretch, but it is a very old version. Perhaps try installing it from Stretch Backports, then reinstall Wine, and see if that helps. Also, Spotify appears to be problematic with Wine outright. https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=8514 To install from backports, first add backports to your repos. # echo "deb http://deb.debian.org/debian stretch-backports main" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/stretch-backports # apt update Then install (or in this case, re-install) Wine # apt install \ wine/stretch-backports \ wine32/stretch-backports \ wine64/stretch-backports \ libwine/stretch-backports \ libwine:i386/stretch-backports \ fonts-wine/stretch-backports This will install Wine 3.0.3 from backports, and should give improved compatibility.
