My Essence MKII and BS1 are both stopping to operate unexpectedly when playing through Deezer. Then they’re not even playing through Bluetooth so it’s not a WiFi issue. Very frustrating when showing friends my new £1,000 speaker and can’t even connect to it!!!

I had the same at the weekend Chris, nothing worked on my BS2 - deezer, tunein, AirPlay... I did a factory reset in the app and signed back into deezer and all worked fine again - also sent the feedback in on the app.

Very frustrating!!

My BS2 just got updated to 1.15.17527.  Hopefully this will fix some of the issues.

My Essence MKII and BeoSound 1 have been upgraded too. As has the B&O app which now looks great on iPhone X!!! Only had a very brief play but both these things seem great - multi-room actually works very slick. Or it seems to be better anyway!! Fingers crossed...

Sorry to say but even after the event update, my BS2 has just done exactly the same as it did at the weekend.

The previous 6 months of ownership were faultless.

Painful.

While my BS2 seems to be okay my BS1 which got the same update is still having issues.  I had to power-cycle it yesterday evening to get it produce sound.  It also seems to cut out in the middle of long tracks now.

I reported similar problems to Beocare, with logs and all.

Nov 17 they replied that technicians found the probable cause and an update would be addressing this in approx two weeks time.

That would mean first week in December I guess...

I'm pretty sure my BeoSounds were updated again (they made the noise) but the first part of the version numbers look the same.  So far no misbehaving, though the gap between tracks seems a lot bigger.
