@pgf If you look at it from the configuration file's point of view, it does overwrite MAC_ADDRESS="" with MAC_ADDRESS="dc:a6:32:cc:bb:aa". :) I do agree "override" sounds better. I'll update it the next time I check out the appropriate branch. Setting the MAC address should be only, what's

There's a typo in the help for setting an alternate MAC address for squeezelite. The term "overwrite" is used -- I'm sure that what was meant was "override". Clearly this config doesn't actually overwrite a system MAC address, which would make the option a little scarier than it actually is.

To be clear, I don't think from what you've reported that pcp is "crashing", it seems to be that Squeezelite is no longer functioning. As has been suggested, if there is a fault with the DAC hardware or the DAC driver, this could happen and it may require a reboot before the fault can be

Check out if the red LED is blinking. That's the under-voltage warning. Depending on what else you're powering the official supply may still not be enough. I always try to use the 5.25volt 3 amp supplies to be sure. Howard slartibartfast wrote: > It is a Pi 3 with the official power supply.
