Raspiaudio speaker issues

Anyone have this speaker and have experience with it? It has the latest firmware. It was discovered fast on ESPhome after firmware upgrade. It worked fine right away too. I’ve added it as an official speaker in music assistant.

The issue I’m having is that after like 6-8 hours the audio doesn’t play out of it. It shows like it’s still registered in ESPhome. I can turn on and off the LED on top of it through HA, but when I play audio it says it is but it’s not. The only thing that works is turning it on and off then it works again, for a few hours.

I’d like to use this as an alert speaker replacement to the science project i have now, but it seems that the science project I have is more reliable.
