Hi can you give more details please so that we can better help:
Which Pi Model?
Internal Wifi or USB dongle (which one specifically)?
Can you connect that Pi with Ethernet or not? (or can you eventually attach a HDMI screen and USB keyboard to debug).
Brand new image or OTA upgrade from earlier version (which?)?
Did you let first boot go fro about 8mn and read first-start instructions (see signature)?

Ok, so plug ethernet, and connect to Volumio Web UI:
Under network settings panel, turn Hotspot OFF, click on your Home Wifi SSID which should appear in the list, and enter your wifi password, save.
Volumio networking should restart.
Then go back to “Browse” UI, and then back to Network settings: in the top part, do you see IP addres for Ethernet and IP address for Wifi?
If so, Wifi is then connected, and you may disconnect Ethernet.

One general thing: did you successfully used this Pi3 wifi with any other distribution (like Raspbian)?
(some Pi3 models seem to have failing wifi chips)

Back on Volumio.
Did you modify any of the file (wpa_supplicant.conf, …) under ssh/command-line?
Let’s make sure we start from most standard setup, and not alter any file manually.

Can you report output of the following:sudo iwconfig lsusb lsmod sudo journalctl > /tmp/log.txtthen check content of /tmp/log.txt file (so that it does not contain sensitive personal information/passwords) and copy-paste into pastebin and provide link so that we can examine.

Thanks but journal log is missing a lot of stuff.
Can you redo please: it should show the whole boot process.

I see you have a Hifiberry DAC+ pro: can you unplug it & test without it too? (sometimes it may conflict with wifi !..)

If you have a spare SD card, can you install Raspbian and confirm wifi works, please?

Please try removing DAC board and check if better success.

Imaging Raspbian and testing would definitely be a very interesting.
Since you just start with Volumio, I assume you do not have yet too much stuff to preserve.
I suggest you just wipe the SD by re-imaging Raspbian, & test wifi under Raspbian.
If successful, then you may wipe Raspbian by re-imaging Volumio (and let first boot last for about 8mn without touching it).

Good it finally (somehow) worked.
Although you report a quite strange IP configuration, in particular for Broadcast & Mask addresses

Did you set this IP configuration manually, or let DHCP do it?

Are you logged-in as root? This is not necessary, nor recommended: use volumio login and sudo to temporarily use escalated permissions.

Hello macmpi

it’s not a strange IP Configuration, are a “VLSM Configuration”, EveryNetwork part has his own range, are for me better to handling.
config running on the Router and over the diffrent “VLAN’s” for the Devices assigned.

yes like MDHCP
