Best raising a ticket direct to WiiM thru the settings/feedback in the WiiM Home app for matters like this.
Agreed. Startup sound absolutely needs to go. This is the one issue that blocks me from installing Wiim in my whole house. What if the power goes out in the middle of the night, comes back on, and the Wiim startup sound blares through all the speakers and wakes everyone up? Great product otherwise!

Why would my amps be off? They're on 24/7, mounted to a wall in my basement. And if I were using a WiiM Amp, which I'd like to, turning the amp off separately isn't even possible.
It’s your choice to leave your amps on 24/7. Why could you not turn off a WiiM amp separately? I do not understand. Do what you please, I was offering a solution. My amps get turned off every night before I retire and turned back on the following morning.
That's just bizarre. I have no intention of adding "Turn home audio system off" to my bedtime routine, any more than I want to have to unplug my toaster or turn off my computer every night. I just want to play music and stop playing music whenever I want, and not hop out of bed because I forgot to turn my amps off.

I've enjoyed hearing your light-hearted yet nonsensical take on this. I'll let my message to the WiiM team stand though: The startup chime is a useless feature that is problematic for people who want to use WiiM in an always-on application, such as multi-room audio. As @Sliphorn says, it may result in "No WiiM Amp For me!!!"

My apologies, I didn't mean to say that the fact that you turn your stereo gear off at night is nonsensical. I'm just saying that your argument doesn't make sense -- specifically, that people who leave their gear on should either stop doing so or simply accept that it's going to randomly make noises that the manufacturer could easily prevent.
