[Completed Beta] Room Correction for Individual Channels

[bernard23]

Any updates from the beta testers?
Also, when can we expect the app / firmware update to be released?

After my report here they appear to have updated the app to use the same correction for each channel at subwoofer frequencies. Still doesn't explain why it misbehaved. I am waiting for the updated app. Apart from that it seems to work well as long as you check that the measured response looks plausible. I sometimes get totally different results with some sweeps. I think I get better results when manually disabling EQ before the test.

Just from listening to the sweeps during the test I think that sometimes they sound different and that is when I get inconsistent results. Is that likely? The measured results would support my theory.

@WiiM Team @WiiM Support Is it possible that the sweep is inconsistent? This is when using a subwoofer.

I don't see how the sweep itself can be inconsistent - it's just a music file.
Unless prior eq is applied to it?

The only evidence I have is that it sounded different, possibly due to unwanted EQ being applied to it. Anyway the latest Home app has a bug fix for "Resolved Room Correction recording issues", maybe that will help

I now got whitelisted and have updated the firmware of my ULTRA. Am running Wiim Home App v.2.11.7.
My first issue is that the RC either does not complete or tells me that there is too much background noise.
The second issue is that I do not see it running seperate RC's for each channel, although I have the latest firmware and app.
What could be the cause of my mishaps?
I know that my room is not perfect - high ceilings and very little in terms of absorption. However with the old RC I did find it beneficial.

You should be given the option to use separate channel RC but default may still be stereo so you would need to select it. I have never seen a warning about too much background noise but can only think you have the volume set too low.

Not getting a choice to select separate channels

Hmm have you got the latest WiiM Home app? I just tried with the newly installed 2.11.6 on Android and mine has stopped giving me the option as well. It was working OK with the previous version.

Independent channel RC doesn't work at all now with the latest app, it isn't even an option. @WiiM Team @WiiM Support

 

[slartibartfast]

I rolled back to the previous version of the Home app and lo and behold I can select L/R room correction again. Unbelievable

 

[harkpabst]

I do believe it.

 

[slartibartfast]

I do believe it.

You will also believe I have had no response to my ticket complaining about it as well

If you can believe it, I have just received a reply from the kind folks at @WiiM Support, stating:

The latest WiiM app version for iOS is 2.11.8. Please update to this version and try again.

So now I am just waiting for my iPhone to receive the new version...

EDIT: Even with the new app, I still don't get the L/R RC.

Let us know, Android version will arrive eventually

Just to understand. I have 2.11.8 version, but I have not the choice to select L+R RC.
May be that beside the latest version of WHA I need the Beta FW?

I think you probably still need the beta FW.

Ok, thx

For those using beta firmware, is it nearly ready for public release?
