I bought a used WIIM Mini recently and have been unable to fix very unique playback issue:
Instead of 2.0 (stereo) playback, audio playback is 1.0 (mono)
I've been unable to fix issue this so I'm asking for help. What is bizarre (to me anyway) is that this issue occurs only when I use WiFi as the input AND the file is 16-bit.
I've tried just about everything that I can think of:
I don't have this issue with the WiiM Plus Pro (same WiFI network; same music servers). And I can confirm I'm using the latest Firmware for the Wiim Mini.
What am I missing?
Thanks in advance
PS. My setup (Device/connection) with the issue is :
LMS --> WiFi --> WiiM Mini --> SPDF out ---> Topping E30 Lite --> RCA Out --> Schiit Magni --> DT 990 Pro 250 ohm (headphones)

- If I play back a 24-bit file over WiFi from the same source -- presto -- stereo!
- If I change the input to Aux-In or Bluetooth and play the same 16-bit file -- presto -- stereo! Even 16-bit/ 88.2kHz files play back in mono.
- Tried different Audio output (Optical, Bluetooth, Aux-Out), but this doesn't make a difference
- Tried Rebooting over and over; toggled fixed-volume; Audio Channel (toggled mono; stereo; left/right channel)
- Changed from 5ghz to 2.4gHz in WiFi
- Used different music sources over WiFi (Lyrion Music Server, Plex, MinimServer, DNLP)
I don't have this issue with the WiiM Plus Pro (same WiFI network; same music servers). And I can confirm I'm using the latest Firmware for the Wiim Mini.
