Hi again,
I found one item which I don`t understant. When in Tweaks I have choose
only shutdown on GPIO 17 is possible to shutdown (after shutdown red LED
is active) and I`m able to wake up Rpi by short GPIO3 with GND. When
option poweroff is on any GPIO is active than after shutdown all LEDs

Even I2C is disable, when shutdown on GPIO3 is active, after reboot

GPIO3
Thank You.
I took another new SD card, did a clear new installation and looks fine

Unfortunatelly disable I2C did not resolve problem. If GPIO 3 is choosen
for "shutdown" Squeezelite is not starting and not running. Any other
GPIO is fine, except 3. GPIO3 is from

Hi,
The Allo Boss DAC allows you to power your "Pi+DAC" by mini-USB on
either the Pi or the Boss itself (as long as keep the setting on J25 for
them to be powered together).
First, if you want any software-based shutdown to work, you will need to
put the power on the Pi itself, then pass the

Hi everyone,
I am new to PiCorePlayer. Looks very good.
Just installed 6.0.0RC, upgraded in-situ to 6.0.0, on a rPi Model B+
with audiophonics I-sabre ES9023 DAC. This DAC provides power to the Pi
and has an integrated power management board. I have a momentary switch
(with LED) connected.
That is why I would do everything from the pi side. And use a power
board to turn the pi on/off. Then the pi controls a relay that powers
the amp on/off

In the case where I2C isn't being used for anything else, is there an
