Don't forget to let everyone know once you've got it
Maybe you all should go to the barber one more time beforehand, or at least give that bald spots a polish...

Every time I see a post on this thread I think it's going to be someone saying they are downloading the update

@WiiM Team It is now 8 days and nobody has reported receiving it yet. The 5-10% getting it first must not be forum members

11 days now. This is obviously some strange usage of the words "staggered rollout" that I wasn't previously aware of

It sounds like you are fairly keen to get this update.

It's the first one in months with anything that interests me. It would be nice to have a working sub/speaker sync but I'll reserve judgment until I've tried it.

There’s nothing in it really that interests me.

I received it and it seemed to break my subwoofer output. They rolled me back to the previous version but the output is still not working. It may be a hardware fault though. Trying to work it out.

I even took part in that thread and didn't realise it was this firmware. When did you receive it? I wonder if any others have the same issue.
