2014 Sierra 1500 stereo issues

[Sasquatchewan]

Hello all, I'm new here and I'm looking for input into a few issues that don't seem right with my 2014 Sierra base stereo. I haven't been able to find anything on the internet about these peeves, so maybe it's just me thinking they're annoying!

 

I almost always listen to my own music from a USB drive or SD card and rarely to the radio. Anyway, #1. when I don't want to listen to music and hit the power button on the stereo it doesn't actually turn off, it just mutes the volume and the song keeps playing but with no audio. #2. When I press pause the music stops playing until I turn off the truck and restart it and, even though I don't press play on the stereo, it comes on and plays music anyway! So, every time I start my truck the stereo comes on even when I had it off last time I used the truck. I've tried to find settings for this but no luck and the manual doesn't address it either. Is anyone else having these issues, and doesn't it bug you too???

To power down the radio you have to hold the power button. As far as the auto play when you turn the truck on, I'm not sure.
