People may be misunderstanding the issue here. Everyone knows that HDMI Arc is a hot mess of compatibility issues. It's for *that very reason* that if one achieves a stability, it is disappointing to lose that stability because WiiM has introduced new changes to the HDMI Arc code, apparently to...

I think a user-volunteer approach would be brilliant. Perhaps an opt-in beta channel where proposed updates get pushed to volunteer users first, for say 2 or 4 weeks, to iron out any bugs? At the moment WiiM's betas are feature specific, but how about having a "forthcoming build" beta too...

I understand your point. My issue is that - with something like HDMI Arc - which is known as a hot mess of poor implementations - making changes without a full suite of regression testing is *going to cause issues*. If I buy a device, it doesn't work with my TV, I return it. If I buy a...

Agree, although removing this update would re-introduce the Qobuz Connect bug, which I didn't realise was a bug with WiiM anyway (I blamed Qobuz) as it wasn't reported on the forums. A "Known-Issues" page would also be useful and in-line with industry practice. WiiM is fast becoming Sonos...

I have noticed a tendency to introduce new bugs whilst trying to fix existing ones. In the past few weeks - Qobuz Connect was broken by a firmware update (phantom playing when using a USB Dac) - HDMI Arc - which has worked perfectly since I bought the device - is now unstable to the point...

WiiM are prepping a firmware update to roll back the HDMI changes but keep the Qobuz Connect fixes. I am grateful for the support and eagerly awaiting the fixed firmware. Hopefully Ethan will reply soon with good news. I can’t help but observe that in the past few weeks firmware updates have...

There is definitely an issue with this firmware update. My system has worked perfectly for months. This update totally breaks HDMI Arc. In my case - sometimes when it switches to HDMI Arc - there is no sound. The TV reverts to Internal Speakers. Switching it back to HDMI Arc doesn't work...

It looks like what is happening is that the WiiM is sometimes telling the TV that it’s no longer a HDMI Arc sink, and so the tv switches back to its internal speakers. The only way to get it back to the WiiM is to do it manually on the TV settings or pull the cable and replug, which forces a...

Since the update, HDMI Arc is disconnecting from my LG G4 tv periodically. I have to manually disconnect the HDMI cable and replug it. It has worked perfectly for months so it’s not a TV issue. Anyone else seeing this?

Has something changed regarding ARC? It has worked perfectly for months but since this update, after some time switched off, there is no sound unless the Ultra is rebooted.
