Has anyone noticed Qobuz playback swtching L and R channel? This can happen with playback by the Qobuz WiiM native app or by Chromecasting from the Qobuz app in iOS in my case.
 
Hi @adias
I don’t use neither WHA, nor Chromecast from Qobuz’s app.
I use BubbleUpnP. Streaming Qobuz from that app i have no channels switch.
L &R are as they should.

OK, but I am referring to WHA and @WiiM Team or @WiiM Support should be interested in this feedback regarding their products.

I noticed it on a particular track where I do know what appears on the Left and Right channels. Casting reversed and the WHA native Qobuz did the same. Then I switched to another source of the same track via toslink input and that source was correct. Then I went back to Qobuz and it corrected itself. So there must be some mechanism (flag?) that on occasion switches channels on Qobuz. I vaguely recall someone also reporting the same thing.

I am reporting this for WiiM's sake as I am moving away from Qobuz, so, for me, the issue is academic.
 
in use on toslink input...suddenly l/r inversion! while touching nothing!
:(
 
I’m sure WiiM will be able to investigate if you submit a ticket ;)
 
The subject has been raised often...it's up to them to check this kind of thing concerning audio upstream of new firmwares...
pro "plus"... new firmware this day

If you don’t submit a ticket with evidence of this, there’s much less chance of them fixing it. If you prefer not to do that and live with the issue, that’s your choice :)
