Hi Folks, I'm a little sad tonight - I hope someone has some insight. I wanted to try out the Power Switch II plugin since I'd like to use it to switch my amps on/off. I haven't built the relay board yet, but I installed the plugin and wanted to make sure it was working (ie, outputting 3.x volts when on and 0 when off). I cut the end off an 1/8" stereo extension cable, stripped the insulation back on the tip and sleeve leads, and plugged it into the headphone out on one of my squeezeboxen. I measured the voltage from tip to sleeve: 0 when off, 0 when on. Uh oh... What's worse was that after disabling the plugin and restarting SqueezeCenter, the headphone out is now dead on that squeezebox. :-(
Thinking that ~maybe~ this headphone out was dead to begin with, I made like an idiot and tried this on another squeezebox (which I first verified a healthy headphone). Now I have two toasted SB3 headphone outs. I only have 4 squeezeboxen, and I've already killed 2 of them, so I can't afford to do any more "research". Maybe someone here has an idea. Here's everything I know: -I'm using SqueezeCenter 7.0 - 15412 (12/18/2007 build) -I'm using the Power Switch II 0.2 Plugin -The squeezeboxen are SB3, firmware 84 (this is a new fw) -I did not short anything (you'll have to trust me on this) Could there be some issue with the new version 84 firmware? Seems like a long shot. Anyone have any theories? As always, insight is much appreciated.
