> I have a raspberry pi set up with an infrared LED to control my old NAD amplifier.

Interesting - could you share a little about how you have done this?

I have a Raspberry Pi that I use as a jukebox, connected to a NAD C320BEE amplifier, and I would like the jukebox to turn the amplifier and (active) loudspeakers on, using a usb-controlled relay, when I unpause mpd and off when I pause it, but unfortunately when the amplifier is powered on, it is humming until a source is physically selected!



Yeah absolutely - the last two images on this page show the hardware:

It works great, just bouncing IR off the walls in my room to put the amp on standby, change volume, switch input, mute etc etc.

The software side is done with LIRC. LIRC is very old and a bit awkward to get running but it works.

Send me an email at hello @ peteshadbolt.co.uk and I can share the LIRC configuration as well as an Ansible role to install LIRC etc.
