Hello fellow B&O fans,

Do any of you have issues with Airplay 2 on Beoplay M5 after the release? - I can play one number and then it cuts off the sound. I use Tidal Hifi from iPad and/or iPhone. Reset has been done, but little good it did, unfortunately.

The issue is both when streaming only to the M5, but also when using both my BS 2 and M5. Pretty annoying.... 😏

There is no need for the AP2-menu within Apps because it is accessible within the Audio-menu during playback of content. (Off course, this will cause sound delays, you preferably you should use BeoLink for multiroom BeoVision-content).

Old thread I know, but having replaced my BV6 with a BV10-32 I have got rid of the need for an hdmi audio extractor, and have been experimenting with sending Apple TV audio to other rooms using Airplay.  I realised that Apple TV has a method to avoid the sound delays mentioned by 1990 above.

Whilst playing music shows using Apple TV into (non-networked) BV10-32 in my TV room, I wanted to send the Apple TV audio to other rooms - in my case to an Airport Express feeding a BC9500 in my living room (and then via MCL to other rooms.)   Initially there was a sound delay, caused by a mismatch between the BV10 and Airport express Digital to Analogue processing times.

Anyway, the following useful menu in the Apple TV calibrates the system nicely (using an iPhone) , and it now plays without the annoying echo.

When showing the above picture, the TV sends audio tones that are received by your iPhone and then used to calibrate the Airplay 'system' - it's very straightforward. 

I hope other forum members find this useful! 🙂

Thanks for that - guessing it may be useful for a good few.
