Come off the beta - click on the firmware number in your device's settings and you should be given the option to return to public firmware releasesI am new to WiiM, and my Ultra is running v5.2.705154(beta) ... How do I get to v5.2.70995 or do I just need to have patients?
WiiM Ultra Firmware v5.2.709956 - Mar 6, 2025
- Thread starter WiiM Team
- Start date
THANK YOU, it sounds odd to leave the beta only to update to the current beta

This update broke the proper functioning of the Bluetooth deactivation, being when either (a) the WiiM Ultra is switched off / on standby, or (b) another input other than Bluetooth is selected. The expected behaviour is detailed here: "To disconnect the current Bluetooth connection [either] Select a different input other than Bluetooth and Wi-Fi". I had a very unpleasant experience today, when, after having turned off the WiiM Ultra with the red button on the remote (which, via the trigger, also turned off my external amp and subwoofer) I went to use my Bluetooth earbuds: unexpectedly, my phone was still connected to the Bluetooth on the 'off' WiiM Ultra, and my music, intended for my earbuds, came blasting out of my speakers.
I don't think it's the new update causing this, It's been happening to me for a while, I am on an android beta test at the moment so I don't have the new firmware yet and it catches me out too. The way around it is to disconnect the phone Bluetooth from the wiim, then change the wiim input before powering the wiim down
Yes, it appears to work the same on devices that have not yet received the March update.
@DerisionBell
I think you can just press the input switch button on the remote once or (as @Ronnie D said) disconnect on the phone side.
(As described in the FAQ.)
5.1 is working great for me so far, but I do have a few observations which I think are related to my using Audio Pro A10's as surrounds (with an Ultra up front):
1. When I switch between Dolby Audio source material (from TV) and music source material (from USB, WiFi, etc.), the volume levels on the surrounds do not change. I often have to have the levels high when watching TV sources, which ends up being too loud for music. I guess this makes sense since the A10's are always just seeing the source as WiFi, but I think in this scenario it should be considered a different input so that the per-source level feature could help. Basically the speakers should take on fully defined configurations for different sources.
2. When I am listening to any music source I have the A10's set to mono, or "LR" via the app, because people are generally all around the room so the stereo soundstage is not consistent anyway. But when I am watching 5.1 content, the surrounds are set to L or R because everyone is facing the TV. Problem is that these settings seem to stick when changing sources. So after watching 5.1, I have to set the A10's to LR, and after listening to music I have to set them to L or R. Again, if the configuration could be defined per-source, this would be automatic.
Hope this makes sense to the Wiim staff. Happy to provide more detail or clarify anything I've muddied. Also, please let me know if there is a better place to report things like this. Thanks!

Ahh.. App update! Maybe I should read properly first before commenting! My bad, sorry all.New user here... App tells me I have the latest firmware version, but quickly checked 8 and 9 and no dice?
When some of the release notes state "(requires an upcoming app update)" is it in this release or not? Confused
