I do not know if I can help you, as I have no experience with your
issues, so anything I say is mainly speculation. I have very little
expertise; I'm just a user of LMS who likes to tiniker. There is a very
good chance that everything I say will turn out to be wrong!

Philosophically, I think starting anew makes sense, but you do not have
to ditch entirely the current setup in order to do so. Just set the
current SD card aside and start over with a fresh SD card. You can
always go back to the current one if the second attempt does not work
out. You are a lot more familiar with pCP now than when you first set it
up, so it is possible that you misunderstood or overlooked something
then. Is it likely? I don't know, but it should be easy to try.

I have one suggestion for you. As I said, it is not based on any
personal experience, so it may not be helpful.

In the pCP (not LMS) web interface, go to the Squeezelite Settings tab.
About halfway down the page there is a field for "Close output setting."
Put some value in that field and click the "Save" button below. This
will tell Squeezelite to release the output device after a number of
seconds (the value you put in the field) of silence. This is intended to
allow Squeezelite to share the output device with other players, instead
of keeping it locked when not in use. It is not intended to help with
your situation, and it may not. But since it does require Squeezelite to
reconnect with the output device when it is used again, I think it might
be worth a try.

I hope I am not wasting your time with this suggestion, although that
may well be the case. Good luck!

Incidentally, you may already be aware of this, but just in case it
might be helpful to know that Squeezelite is not a commercial product.
No one is paid to maintain it. When work is done on it, it is done in
spare time, as available. You may not see signs of progress, especially
if it is not clear that the problem is within Squeezelite.



Usually running latest beta LMS nightly on Raspberry Pi OS with virtual
players (Squeezelite and Airplay bridge). Occasionally using SB Radio,
Boom or Classic.
