Hi Carl G and welcome back to Beoworld!

I have the Beoport (Beolink PC2) software running on my Windows 10 (32-bit) PC, and I have also tried it successfully on a Windows 11 Virtual Machine, as reported here: 

Hi Guy,

Thanks a lot for your response!

In short term, probably I have to stay with my case Win7 on the old machine, because my skill of Win11 currently is not deep enough to set up a VM....:-)

Maybe I will try in the future.

 

My best regards

Carl G

I do actually have a Windows 11 laptop with me this week, so in the next few days I will try a normal install of Beoport and connect my Beolink PC2 to see if it works.  I will get back to you with the results.

 

I had to go to Windows 11, old pc died. Managed to copy most applications from the Windows 10 pc and Beolink PC worked, very surprised. Had a lot more problems with Windows Media player to stream music.

Hi gentlemen,

Thanks for your response!

It sounds interesting! Maybe I will try.

I just did a clean install of Beoport on a Windows 11 laptop and it installed fine, including prompting me to connect the USB cable for the Beolink PC2 hardware.  I have run the Beoport/Beolink PC2 stand-alone using the Powerlink output for audio.

I have to run the registry editor file mentioned in the other thread to get it to update the radio stations.  There are hundreds showing as usual, but it still exhibits that frustrating problem where the volume mixer mutes the 'BeoNetRadio' whenever you change stations.

I added a few mp3 files and tried N.MUSIC - that works fine.

I also added an IR sensor to the Beoport/Beolink PC2 and can control all functions with Beo4.

One observation:  When I move the mouse pointer to the right edge of the screen it doesn't automatically bring out the control buttons (Beo4-like display).  I have to click on the 'B&O' icon in the notifications tray to open the controls.  Strange - maybe something to do with my display settings.

I have Beoplayer and Beotray in my start up apps and it starts it up and is then always available via the right hand side of the screen. Didn't work well under Windows 10, had to authorise the app every time.
