Bad reboots

New to Volumio. Seems like a great product, when I can get it to stay functional.
I can’t seem to restart the machine at all. If I do, I need to reflash the SD.

Either:

  1. I use web UI to Shutdown->Restart and it doesn’t restart at all - endless black screen.
  2. I use web UI to Shutdown->Shutdown, wait 5-10 minutes, pull plug, reset plug, and it doesn’t doesn’t seem like the configuration is the same. The startup chime doesn’t sound, Hotspot failover is not turned on, but it turns on the hotspot and it doesn’t connect to the SSID that I setup in first config, nor does it find any networks when searching again after restarting, nor is there any sound when playing something. It shows it’s playing, but nothing happens at the amp. And, the UI glitches with some of the switches in the settings. Photos attached.

I’m at a loss. I want to use it, I really do, but I can’t get past issues at every turn.

I’m not even using the Hifiberry DAC+ Pro that I have because I’m just testing it from the rpi audio jack before dealing with the hifiberry.

RPI 3B+

Try a different SD card, and ensure that you have a good power supply (min. 2.5A).
