Beo A6 and A9 - randomly popping sound as if they are reconnecting

23 replies

Folks,

I have 2 A6s and one A9 all connected to the same wifi network. Over the last month or so any one of the speakers will randomly make the popping noise as if they were connecting to the network. This may happen once a day or so when I am around to hear it at least. 

The network appears stable and of course it is never is all of them but just one. 

Any ideas?

Thanks!

I had this on my A9 and Essence recently... I'm just wondering if it's not autoupdate that completes everything...

Otherwise, it can be a network stability issue on the B&O products...

Hi,

once a day may not be the auto update feature. You can diasable it for testing in the BeoApp.

Possible that the update fails and the A9 will try it next day again.

Check in BeoApp if you have the recent software.

There is a log as well, may be some errors occur.

If possible you cann look in the log of your router. I should log networkerrors or loss of WIFI.

Could be a poor  WIFI connection.  The network led has 3 colours which indicates the connection quality

white= excellent, orange=good, red poor

The BeoApp shows the state as well.

What do you mean by popping noises? Do you mean that beep, beep that it makes when it boots?

Or do you mean more of a plastic pop sound?

Just returned from traveling so now seeing responses, so to all thanks for thoughts on my issue.

Tos evered hand The beep or pop noise when it reboots and is then signaling it is connected to the wifi system.

 

 

Mine seems to do that randomly sometimes as well. Either a Automatic firmware update was installed or your Wifi router rebooted/reconnected with the A9.

Hopefully it is for those reasons at least.

Thanks and good to hear it's not only me....

I have been hearing it all over my house too lately.  The Essence in my bedroom makes the connection sounds and I look over and the lights are red on my BeoLab 17's.  I have also heard it on the A6 in the upstairs bedroom as I walked by.  I think I've heard it coming from my BeoSound 2 while sitting on the couch, but that was probably only once.  

i just moved the A6 to the study, connected it accidentally there with a switch that's normally off the mains and when turning on the switch the popping sounds occur at the A6. the same with the bluetooth settings of the M5: i opened them completely to connect an echo, forgot to go back to the standard settings and the next day i was surprised by the popping sounds. reason was the phone with bluetooth on when i came home

I don't have any bluetooth paired devices on any of my systems, so unfortunately this is not the case for all these occurrences!
