I do not have a Pi 4 or 5 with me at the moment, so I have not tried the AA with these.
I messed around with the Pi3B a bit, using Raspberry Pi OS. I got music to play, but I can't get the power button to shut down the Pi.

There are 3 overlays used. They are all included in Raspberry Pi OS, so none are needed from the AA (so I assume). The old ones in the AA are different sizes.
gpio-ir.dtbo
hifiberry-dac.dtbo
mcp23017.dtbo

My hacked together config. Sound works, power button does not affect Pi.

If I end up going the Pi 5 route then it has its own power button, so who cares about the AA power button not working.

I will ask on HifiBerry forums if anyone has some ideas to get Pi3 working with power button. Axiom forums did not provide a response.
