ESP-01 GPIO Speaker issues

Hey guy, Here is my situation. I have a speaker attached to GPIO.If I bootup the device with the speaker attached attached to GPIO it goes into bootloader mode it seems. If I boot up and then connect the speaker, it works. Is there a way disable GPI0 on startup, so that the bootloader mode isnt polled. I apologize for the noobness...any help would be awesome!

GPIO0 cannot be disabled at bootup but you could use a MOSFET to drive your speaker instead of using the GPIO directly. You should not use any GPIO to drive something that uses power, especially not a highly inductive speaker. Or you could use a piezo sounder which is high impedance.

you could also try connecting the speaker via (small) capacitor. This would safeguard the pin and solve interference with bootup mode.

How small is small?
