The phone support was all it took to get me on my way.
Unfortunately, unlike you, I don't know when to stop. 😝

Batman sent a SD card burned with Volumio so I will get back on it this weekend. I obtained a wifi dongle and hope it is plug and play. Ethernet cord to router has to be temporary for the WAF thing.

Your RPI has built-in WIFI which should work with your Digi+ Standard card. Installing the dongle driver could be difficult for novices like us.
For you using the Ethernet is just a way to set up the wifi.
I tried this weekend to no avail.
I can't believe music this good comes from a 100 buck device. The iFI micro DAC is icing on the cake.

WiFi worked from the Getgo with Raspbian. I'm convinced
Digi+Pro is not WiFi compatible. Sound is good enough that I'm willing to put up with Ethernet over a range extender. I'm not yet Linux literate enough yet to attempt to dongle my Pi.
The problem I had with the loss of SPDIF output from the Digi+Pro card turned out to be a defective (cheap) mccro SD card, something to bear in mind if one encounters strange behqavior. I've made a backup SD card, verified that it works and stored it away in case.

or a bug in software when you select HiFiBerry Digi+ Pro from the audio output menu in Squeezelite settings?
PiCore and RPI apparently don't play well together

I tried disabling the Bluetooth to no avail

I presume they'll work it out eventually.
It's just the Digi+ Pro with WiFi....... I have 5 Digi+ Rpi's around the House running just fine - 3 with WiFi.... I also have an Rpi with the Digi+ Pro board running with Ethernet just fine........ Every Rpi I have is running PiCorePlayer!
Hook a long Ethernet Cable to your RPi until they get a fix..... Forget WiFi for your Main System anyway... Always use an Ethernet Cable. I only use WiFi for the Radio and Back round music....Cut-Throat

I did. It's connected via a short Ethernet cable to a wireless extender sitting right behind it. It sounds so much better than the SB Duet it replaces because the Duet downsamples 96MHz files to 48.
It's probably just some code that they need to add to support the Digi+ Pro..... Only a guess on my part though.

For PiCorePlayer it looks like their firmware for wifi gets kicked out and is unable to load when the Digi+ Pro is connected.
I looked in the modprobe.conf file and none of the wifi firmware is listed.
Looking back at PiCore it looks like this problem comes and goes with different releases. They will likely fix it 'again'
In the mean time I did get a WiFi Dongle to work using DietPi with the Digi+ Pro connected. Works perfectly!

I think you are right about the Digi+ Pro not being compatible with WiFi [RPi's Internal WiFi]
I just got WiFi working with a Dongle using DietPi by editing a couple of files.
Bypass internal WiFi card and use your own WiFi Dongle
Do not configure WiFi in the Diet-pi GUI. Instead navigate via SSH to
/etc/wpa-supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
Then add your network name and password. The file should look like this...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1
network={
ssid="network-name"
psk="network password"
}
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Next navigate to;
/etc/network/interfaces
Then uncomment the line for hotplug wlan interfaces.
Reboot.

I;ll try it after I get a backup SD card, in case I brick my RPI.
But this fix doesn't enable me to move the pi around the house since it will always try to find one SSID?
Don't understand
You can move the Rpi anywhere you want when on WiFi provided you get a signal.
Also you can't 'brick' a Rpi....the whole OS is on the flash card, if it does not boot just re-flash it.

Dont these lines set a single ssid? all my extenders have different ssid's
network={
ssid="network-name"
psk="network password"
}
Your SSID is your router name
All your wireless devices have different IP's
This merely connects your RPi to your wireless network by first identifying the correct SSID or router name and then by using the correct password.

Good thing I saved the receipt. You and BH are going to get me through this yet.
Thanks a million and so glad the Ifi DSD is being used and enjoyed.
I may be emailing you this weekend.
