Beolink PC2/Beoport - how to set up and use?

45 replies
I think I'm happy with it the way it is working now. The main purpose of it is to play digital music from my PC, and be able to control that with my Beo4.

The ability to use it as a 'remote control' for other sources is useful, I just have to be conscious that I have to select that source with the Beo4 first, before I can control it on the Beoport app.

I listen to a lot of Spotify too, so using N.Radio as a workaround to listen to Spotify when played on that PC is useful.

I'm still hoping that Hall Audio's

Antony kone og it is possible to be avle to get working stations downloaded to beoport

 

I only have a couple of stations working and most just get the connection failed :(
And another question what if I only want pc sound coming from the pc no n. Radio or music but just what I’m listening to on my pc ?

Apologies if I've misunderstood, but I still use my PC2 and I do use it to get PC sound - not N.Radio or N.Music; just sound from my PC.

If you go into the Setup and then click the Advanced tab, you'll see an option for Mix Sound.  Change that option to 'Yes'.

This sends whatever sound is playing on your PC to the PC2.  I find this useful by using the Spotify app on my PC.  All I do is select N.Radio, and select a station that I know is no longer available - this ensures I only get the PC sound, and not the N.Radio sound too!

^ Can’t you just select the ‘PC’ source in the Beoplayer/Beoport app and then just use the PC command from any B&O devices on the same network. Then there’s no need to mix.

Yes I wondered that myself but it doesn't work for me - if I select PC, nothing happens, and my Beosound 4 does not switch on (or switch source).  It may work if you have your Beolabs connected direct to the PC2, but it doesn't seem to work when connected to another audio master via ML.

It does behave a bit oddly to be honest.  If I select CD, Radio, A.Aux or DTV in the Beoport app, my BS4 switches to that sound source, but If I select N.Music or N.Radio in the Beoport app, the source does not change on my BS4.  I have to use my Beo4 remote to select either N.Nadio or N.Music, for some reason.

It may be because I have it in an ML network with a TV too (TV in Opt2, BS4 in Opt0, PC2 in Opt6, with my speakers connected to the TV).  Another oddity is that if I select DTV in the Beoport app it switches to that source but then remains 'stuck' on that source - if I then select CD for example, the BS4 starts to play the CD, but I continue to hear the DTV sound.

I've tried a number of different option settings but have never been able to get it all to work properly.

Well when i do mix sound i ise n radio or n music on the beo4 Remote and I still get n radio or n music playing
I have to have an empati n music list and than I delle t n musik and have pc Sound   is there any Way to have only pc sound and what source do you use for only the pc sound to come out on the beo4 Remote   and you Said you use Spotify. I have a beolink eye Connected so I can change songs with beo4   anyway you can use remote to change Spotify songs ? I know I can use my phone but would be awesome to be able to use remote also    
I haven't found a way to have 'only' PC sound, so I use a workaround, similar to what you have done.

As for Spotify, no, I cannot control Spotify with my Beo4 remote.  I have a touchscreen tablet PC connected to my PC2, and I control Spotify direct on the screen.
