With the new ARC improvements, does it mean I should recalibrate my speakers?

Has anyone noticed that presets are not updating on ios app if preset change happens automatic by input/beoremote one/web interface? Volume updates instantly web-app-ir and web interface presets change immediately when use app/ir/automatic. Only way update app preset is rebooting app or select preset manually. Small issue but still should get fixed.

No update for mine yet…..but about the same time the update was reported, mine have developed a problem. When I turn the TV on, there is a lengthy delay before the 50s turn on. Am hoping perhaps the update will fix the problem.

No sign of the update here for either my Lab 90s or 50s (as I assume the new firmware applies to both).

The one change I'd like in a new version is to increase the maximum time-out for the USB Audio input from 60 seconds to 15 minutes, in line with the other sources.

I'd also like the dedicated BeoLab 90 app to be updated to work with the latest version of iOS as it's no longer functional (though I normally use the web interface to control them anyway).

Following up on this previous post….. No update for mine yet…..but about the same time the update was reported, mine have developed a problem. When I turn the TV on, there is a lengthy delay before the 50s turn on. Am hoping perhaps the update will fix the problem………

I tried rebooting them through the app. App was unable to reboot. I unplugged them and plugged back in. Tweeters rose, white light flashed, tweeters descended as normal. But, now they are totally dead. They do not turn on at all with the tv. App says cannot wake them up. Previously app showed both the 50s and Core as poor WiFi connectivity even though they are connected by ethernet and router system shows connection is fine. Submitted to B and O but if anyone has any other thoughts?

Edit…strangely…removed from ethernet and connected to WiFi and they resumed working except for reboot function, which still does not work.

Hi,

Just a heads-up that the software is being rolled out regionally over the coming weeks. So, not everyone will see the new version immediately.

Cheers

I've now updated my Lab 90s and 50s to the new software.

One disconcerting feature is that the white light on the rear of the master Lab 90 now flashes whenever it is playing, just as it did last year when I had constant problems with a previous version of the software. It's almost as though the master thinks it cannot connect with the slave – but whereas last year the speakers refused to activate at all unless I reloaded the software, they're playing perfectly normally at the moment. I have tried rebooting both speakers a couple of times but it has made no difference to the flashing.

I've noticed that my BeoLab 50s have updated themselves to another new firmware version – 3.1.0.1075.

My Lab 90s are not set to update automatically due to the bugs I discovered in 3.1.0.1001 and have been rolled back to 3.0.0.616.

Does anybody know what's new with 3.1.0.1075 and whether it corrects the problems I identified in 3.1.0.1001 (volume turning up very high when anything is played through USB-Audio; flashing white light on rear of Primary BL90)?

Does @GeoffMartin have any input on this?

How long does it take to update Beolab 50s firmware? I have gigabit fibre internet, so I thought it might be fairly quick… 20mins & counting so far.
