Any chance this request will make it into 7.6?

Would be nice to have this feature.

Russell, please vote for this bug when you get the chance. Thanks.

There are also people who use high end DACS which do not use sleep mode and will hear a loud clicking noise when signal is lost. Always on has my vote therefore.
Do not make it default off ! But when "on/off" can be chosen,i'm OK with it.

I have a Bose Cinemate sound system that has two audio inputs - an RCA input (which I have connected to my TV) and a TOSLink (optical) input (which I have connected to my Touch).  The Cinemate automatically switches from the RCA input to the TOSLink input whenever it sees a carrier (laser light on) on the TOSLink input.  Unfortunately, on my Touch the laser stays on even when the Touch is switched off, which means the only way I can listen to my TV on the Cinemate is to unplug the power or the TOSLink connection on the Touch.

Would be nice to have an option to disable TOSLink when off or paused.

Thanks.

Any developments on this?

Any update on this?

Hi,

Just bought a squeezebox touch to replace my squeezebox classic.
Installed software version 7.6.1 but i'm very disappointed as my DAC doesn't go to sleep.
Please solve this issue asap to avoid unnecessary power consumption without swithing back to my squeezebox classic.

PS: if there is a beta version of the squeezebox touch firmware including this feature, i'm willing to install this one.

Kind regards,

Erwin

any news?
Any visibility on a solution?

Alan is Vahid still an employee at Logitech  , is this one dropped ?

Vahid is long gone. 

as am I, but I still lurk about :)

cc:ing Felix, who might have an idea on this bug

Dear all,

Below you find the response I got from logitech support. Very disappointing, not a lot of hope left.
Lack of votes to solve issues? ... How many complaints do they need before they are willing to help customers?


Dear ,

Thank you for contacting Logitech's Customer Care.

Unfortunately we are not able to track any bug report status' at this moment in time. The only way to get it's importance higher up is to have more people vote for this issue. 

Our apologies for any inconvenience

Kind Regards

Erwin, I think your disappointment is well warranted, but one thing important to understand is that, while this bugzilla is very much on the public internet, inside the large corporate arm of Logitech, nobody wants to acknowledge its existence. The statement "we are not able to track a bug's status" is flatly wrong. Bugzilla even gives people outside Logitech the ability to track bugs. In fact, that's what brought me here :)

Why is bugzilla still around? Quite simply because it gives you the most direct access to the squeezebox engineers, who are the only people capable of addressing an issue. As a bonus, the core group of sw engineers that left still care passionately about the product and have a deep understanding of the product line. However, it is not "the proper channel" any more, hence the brush off from customer support. I would argue still the best hope of getting something fixed, so I think this bug's existence, along with its 23 votes (that's a big number, by the way, enough to usually get it some attention)

As an end user, this probably feels like a maddening organization for things, but in my opinion it's actually a better structure than most large electronics organizations, where your sole means of communication yields the kind of "sorry, we can't help you, this is not important to us" message you received from corporate.

This is my roundabout way of saying that you should probably ignore this kind of response from corporate level customer support.

sorry, incomplete thought in that last post. Edited:

This missing functionality is still there in the latest 7.7.1 version, although the bug is now moved to a unassigned state. What is happening? Why is there no support at all?

I have a Musical Fidelity V-DAC II. The V-DAC has 2 digital inputs, optical and coax, switches between these two by detecting availability of signal. I have my CD player on one and my Squeezebox Touch on the other, but, since the Squeezebox never disables the digital output, the DAC stays locked to the Squeezebox and never switches back to the CD player.

Hello,

I hav my Touch connected to an active subwoofer with TOSLINK in. and auto switching and auto standby. Because the Touch TOSLINK port never goes off, all other sources on my subwoofer cannot be used and neither is the subwoofer going in standby.

If you could add this to the software please.....

I have my Touch connected to an active subwoofer with TOSLINK. The subwoofer also has  auto source switching and auto standby. Because the Touch TOSLINK port never goes off, all other sources on my subwoofer cannot be used and neither is the subwoofer going in standby.

I recently bought a Nubert nuPro A-100 digital active speaker which won't switch to standby because of this bug. This is exceptionally bad, as I am using my Squeezebox Touch for an alarm clock.
