3.1 setup possible?

[m49808]

I see the articles and references to building a 5.1 setup. I want to do similar but stop at 3.1 ( no surrounds). Is that possible? Has anyone done this? Can I get by with 2 units? With real left, right, center, sub?

Hi

Unfortunately, it is currently not possible to configure 3.1ch with two WiiM devices. At least three WiiM devices must be grouped together to form a 5.1ch system. You can then create a 3.1ch by removing the WiiM device for the surround speakers from the group. However, with this method, you have to go through the same procedure again when you ungroup and create the 3.1ch group again.

I recommend submitting a request ticket via the WiiM app's feedback section.

And you’d still need to feed it with a DD5.1 signal otherwise the surrounding group pages don’t appear
