Ultra problem with optical in.

[Bandit]

My ultra used to work by having optical in from my lg tv. Was then sent to my active speakers(bno pentad)
Now there is no sound to my speakers.

It works when using tidal. Just not when coming from TV. This stopped working yesterday the 22nd December 24.

Is this due to an update?

Cheers

Is the tv still sending pcm audio - has that setting perhaps been inadvertently changed?

 

[Bandit]

It wasn't set to pcm when it was working. I have tried since it stopped and doesn't make any difference

Try power cycling the Ultra.

 

[Bandit]

Do you mean switch off at mains

 

[Bandit]

Thank you. This has resolved the issue.

Try power cycling the Ultra.

The single best advice if something appears to not work after a firmware update.

Rebooting is simply not the same as power cycling.

“Power cycling” is merely a better sounding way of asking “have you turned it off and back on again?”

Well, it is. But nowadays it's a matter of what people think "turn it off" really means. We can be lucky if the term correlates to hitting the red button on the remote.

Pulling the plug would probably do as well. And reinserting it, if course, as that might not be perfectly clear.

That's why I like to talk about power cycling (and I didn't even make it up). At least until somebody tells me about this great new power cycling class at the gym ...
