WiiM Ultra Firmware v5.2.713345 - Apr 9, 2025

It crossed my mind that could be something like that. Anyway, it’s all good for me with current one 🤩
When the last Amp firmware update was released I got it within 30 minutes of the announcement. Nobody else reported receiving it until days later when a new firmware with a different number appeared and the announcement thread was updated with the new firmware version.

Not bothered waiting mines working just fine atm anyway 👍
 
Can we have a toggle switch for the updated smarter Arc? It causes more problems than it solves. I was able to use just my Apple TV remote to control the volume of anything that was output from the WiiM, now I have to use the app as well. I would prefer the version before it smartened up.

By the sound of it, I'm glad I blocked all Internet access to my Ultra when Wiim announced a "new smarter HDMI ARC". My HDMI ARC works perfectly for me and I'm not keen in it being broken by any forced download. I will wait till they get it right. Are these firmware updates being tested sufficiently before release?
 
Normally once the update information get posted here, it would take 2 or more days before update begin proceeding. There maybe a bug on update.

Maybe we have to buy the new Wiim remote to change the volume for Apple TV when using HDMI on the Wiim ?

As it was until now, one could change the volume on 2 channel playback on the WiiM using the metal Apple Remote . Very convenient. You could also use the Apple Remote for Tidal connect in the Wiim . But you couldn’t change the volume on all 4 channels in surround mode , - only for the front channels.

Maybe the new remote can change all four channels at the same time ( just as the plastic remote can ) and they have stopped the ability to change volume with hdmi using the Apple Remote, for copyright reason ?

Is this an apple issue, just like it was with AirPlay ?
