4.8.709955 (In Progress)

Thank you for providing a new update. I look forward to receiving it in due course.

 

[QuarryHunslet]

My Pro Plus has just received this update.

 

[rubato]

Just received this (one Pro and two Pro Plusses) and now I have smart presets, on the regular release channel. Hurray!

And my previous comment on this thread is now missing. Was it something I said?

 

[Maurizio]

Just updated

 

[Erebus]

Mine has just updated also. Seems to have done so successfully.

Is the Prompt Sound something new? What is it exactly?

I had the option with a toggle on my Pro Plus, and one of my Pro devices, but after refreshing the WiiM Home app it has gone.

 

[Erebus]

I had the option

Oh. I've only just noticed it. Does anyone know what it's for?

 

[QuarryHunslet]

I believe it should only be available for the Ultra.

 

[Erebus]

I believe it should only be available for the Ultra.

I see. Do you know what it does by chance?

Prompt Sound Option: Ability to disable system sounds (requires app v3.1.4).

Turns off system sounds.

Thank you. I guess it was added to the WiiM Pro Plus as well.

 

[QuarryHunslet]

Yes, but if you refresh your app it will probably disappear, like it has done for my Pro, and Pro Plus.

 

[Erebus]

Yes, but if you refresh your app it will probably disappear

Refresh? Do you mean update? If so, I have no app update available currently.

 

[QuarryHunslet]

Refresh? Do you mean update? If so, I have no app update available currently.

I mean you have to force close the app, and then reopen it. This is done differently with iOS and Android devices.

 

[Erebus]

I mean you have to force close the app,

Oh, had no idea that was a requirement. Never forced closed an app on either Android or iOS in all the years I've had devices. I shall look into it. Thank you for the tip.

I'd say you've been very lucky then. And I really mean it, with not even a pinch of irony. I wish I could say the same.

Every reboot of your device (as e.g. enforced by every Android update and many Google Play system updates) have a similar effect, of course.

I'd certainly expect the feature (disabling of system sounds) to become available on more devices. No reason why it should be permanently restricted to the WiiM Ultra.

It was mentioned in the latest firmware update for the Amp as well. I don't even know what these system sounds are.

There's some sort of startup pling, I think. And I believe the devices are rather verbose when connecting vie Bluetooth (which I never use).

There used to be an annoying beep whenever a Bluetooth device connected while you were listening via another input but that was fixed quite a while ago. I just remembered that there is a beep when the amp completes booting when on WiFi but I haven't heard that since changing to ethernet
