Thanks to help on this and other forums, until about a month or so ago I
happily used a Raspberry Pi 4 with pCP and the Airplay bridge to control
an AudioPro Addon C5A speaker (which is Alexa-enabled). I'm a long-time
user of LMS on a Windows computer and an ancient Netgear NAS, but I'm
essentially incompetent with Linux.

I've no idea exactly when my current problem started. Possibly it was
after a firmware update to the speaker, with the new firmware dated
2020-10-23. My problem: about a second or three before the end of a
music track, the sound cuts out on the C5A. Every time. Every track.
Using a browser control for LMS has no effect on the volume. The volume
on the speaker itself seems to set itself to zero. I can do the
following:
1. Walk across the room and press the volume buttons on the speaker to
increase the volume above zero. 
2. Shout at Alexa to increase the volume.
3. Fire up my phone's AudioPro app (which in general I hate) to increase
the volume (which drops to zero as a track ends and stays at zero until
I increase it). 

In contrast, using LMS on the Raspberry Pi to send an internet radio
stream to the C5A does not have this problem. Also, connecting the C5A
to a Squeezebox Touch (using LMS on the Raspberry Pi) using RCA cables
(not the AirPlay bridge) does not have this problem.

As best I can tell:
1. My pCP version is 6.1.0, which seems to be dated 2020-06-06
(according to the pCP site). If correct, this hasn't changed lately.
2. My pCP is running LMS 8.0.0, dated 2020-06-11. So this hasn't changed
lately, either.
3. I've no idea what version of the AirPlay bridge I'm using. "Mute on
Pause" is set to "Yes", but I haven't changed any settings in months. 

Any suggestions? Beyond asking AudioPro about the firmware update, which
I've already done.
