Questions/ Problems w/ Amp Pro

[ghoti]

Delivered today. Cannot seem to stream Bluetooth from streaming radio station.

I have paired Amp Pro w/ Android S22 for app purposes, and successfully completed setup. Once I complete setup, App screen shows "Devices," and under that, the Amp Pro Bluetooth with a little icon of four little moving (up and down) vertical bars. But, there is no sound from my speakers. I did succeed in getting sound from the speakers playing a song that is stored on my Android (S22), so I know that works. When I use the Android to bring up a streaming radio station, I can hear that stream through the Android speaker, but cannot get it to play through the Amp Pro.

What does the blue light on the Amp Pro indicate? The instructions (I downloaded from the web) seem to be for the Amp AS WELL AS THE Amp Pro, and mention a red, white and green LED, not mentioning blue. I have seen the blue solid and flashing, but have no clue what they mean.
I tried to pair the Amp Pro with my computer. It would not pair. I tried to pair with ANOTHER smart phone. It would not pair. The instructions say to put the Amp Pro in pairing mode by pressing the knob for 3 seconds. What that does is to put the Amp Pro into setup mode. The instructions also say that if you set input to Bluetooth (using the app, I guess), Amp Pro will automatically go into pairing mode:

"Just navigate to
the ‘Browse’ tab and select the ‘Bluetooth’ as your input source. In this case, if
there’s no device connected to the WiiM Amp, the App will initiate pairing mode
for WiiM Amp automatically."

Tried this, as well. Still unable to pair with either the computer or the other smartphone. I wonder what "if there’s no device connected to the WiiM Amp . . ." means. The Android S22 is connected to the Amp Pro, and is running the WiiM app.

Perhaps there is, somewhere, instructions for the Amp Pro (as opposed the the Amp) that might clear some of this up?

Thanks for any help/ suggestions.

The WiiM device has both input and output Bluetooth. It's not clear to me what you want to use.

The blue light indicate Bluetooth input is active/paring.

Thank you for your reply. I am trying to use Bluetooth input.

What is the difference between solid blue LED and flashing blue LED?

I am unable to pair with any other Bluetooth device beyond the Android S22 phone I am using to run the WiiM app to control the Amp Pro. Using that same phone to stream classical music from a local radio station, I can hear the music on that phone's speaker, but am unable to get the Amp Pro to output the music to my wired (from the Amp Pro) passive speakers. I know the Amp Pro connection to hose speakers is working -- I can listen to a song stored on the phone through those speakers.

I appreciate your help.

Flashing light means waiting for input Bluetooth paring.

Note that the WiiM Home App is using your local network (WiFi) for controlling the WiiM device, not Bluetooth.

So select Bluetooth as input on WiiM and on your phone select the WiiM to pair with it in the Bluetooth menu.

Thanks.

I've now succeeded in pairing the Amp Pro with my computer. I am streaming the internet broadcast stream from a local classical music radio station (via Bluetooth) to the Amp Pro. Bluetooth on my computer shows I am connected to the Amp Pro and the WiiM app shows the source and content that the Amp Pro is receiving from the computer. HOWEVER, even though the WiiM app shows audio output as speakers (wired), there is no sound coming from the speakers. I know the streamed music is reaching my computer -- I can hear it through the computer's speakers.

I should note I was having the same trouble with my new Ultra (purchased about a week ago. I posted about that and submitted a ticket -- no solution, as yet. I sure would like to get this solved.

Is there a source volume control for Bluetooth on your computer, like there is on a phone for example? Can you Bluetooth from your computer to another device to check?

I've connected my CD player to the Amp Pro via toslink. I've got the autodetect input set to on. The Amp Pro is woking fine with the speakers. Plenty of volume. I'm about to do the room correction and then try the ASR-recommended EQ settings.

I've successfully streamed from the computer to the my earbuds and to my Android S22. Just noticed that the computer sound settings gives me the option of selecting 'Where to play sound': Realtek Digital Output, or speakers. I have had it set on speakers. I will try the digital out, but I doubt that will solve the problem as I have succeeded in streaming (to other devices) with 'speakers' selected heretofore.
