Should this board from Amazon work?

new to this project, spent about 90 minutes trying to get it going but get consistent timeouts. Happy to do some troubleshooting, but don't want to waste a bunch of time or clog up the discussions if it just won't fly.

here are boot logs:

It looks like ESP32-A1S audio kit with a ES8388 DAC. Check ESP32-A1S in https://github.com/sle118/squeezelite-esp32.

Thanks - yes, I had seen somewhere that the ES8388 boards were 'a mess' so I stayed away from that option, but think I misunderstood what was being stated. I changed the option and it appears to work. Appreciate it!

[alfista2600]

So, it 'works' but stops working after about 10 minutes. I have LMS disabled from the command line. I'm not sure what to look for but here is the telnet results up until the device goes offline, but still responds
to ping.

I think my issue is that somehow it loses the -s -disable after a reboot or power cycle. Unsure, but likely something I'm causing.
