BS Edge - Can’t trigger the bass port?

12 replies

Hi all,

So, I have a new BeoSound Edge I was setting up at home today.  So far I love it and it sounds fantastic.  Oddly though, I can’t seem to get the bass port to trigger open.  The demo videos I had seen online suggest that it will do so automatically as you raise the volume past a certain output level.  I’ve tried that and even with bass heavy tracks, it remains closed (I have the front cover removed so I could clearly see and test it).  Am I missing something ion settings perhaps?  Software is updated to the latest (1.3.16694.138870393).  Thanks in advance!

hi rgbyhkr,

 

It should happen automatically past volume level 62, so very very loud! It doesn't have much to do with what's playing but more with how loud it's playing.

Even at max volume it doesn’t open.  No sign that it’s trying to either (as in maybe the mechanism is stuck).  My sources have been AirPlay, Spotify via Chromecast and BT.  Potentially a defective unit?

I wouldn't know that for sure, maybe, but ask your dealer first I guess. I am unaware of if any source can have an impact on this, although i think not, but it may be some weird oversight somewhere. Are you sure in the app there is not a weird setting that overrides it/is set to keep it closed? just an idea to start of with the basics as I don't own one and can't check here for you :)

From the last answer, I would try again but with the cover on (for security).

Check with hand or a torch if it opens.

I sheepishly have to admit that even as techie as I pride myself on being, I didn’t think to simply reboot the Edge.  When it powered back upon, the port opened immediately and then closed again as the startup sequence completed.  Obviously a system check sequence that happens as part of a reboot.  Playing music and then raising the volume triggered the port to open above that certain volume level, closing again as volume is lowered below it.  So all seems to be working as expected now.  

Thank you for the help and the reminder of what I should already know - always try a reboot first!  (Facepalm)

Neo should know - after all he is responsible for the Edge.

And how does it sound....now?

And how is it using in daily life?

Software issue resolved :)

There is a saying for that:

When in doubt, reboot

😁

I have seen this issue at my local dealer, they said it had happened "many" times, and they just pull the power and it works again, until next time.

 

Seems like yet another SW issue ?
