set a GPIO Output to 1

[tobias.e]

Hi everybody, 

i am trying to set up a Pi Zero2, and it almost works for me. I installed a vanilla raspbian image and added the openplotter repo to it.

One thing i am struggling with is setting an GPIO output. My config.txt contains "gpio=20=op,dh", but during (and after) bootup, the output of PIN38 is 0:

Code:

pi@pizero2:~ $ gpio readall

when i set the output to 1, it stays 1 for a second, then goes back to zero. Any ideas, where i could be looking for something that writes these zeros?

EDIT - I tried GPIO 20 on my Pi 4 and can't set that to high either. Must be something about that particular pin as others work ok. It seems to be a designated digital audio input pin.

Tanks for that hint!

I recently die a very  minimalistic re-install (propably without sound-related stuff) and  now it works just finde.
