Help! - No sound from Beolab 19 playing from Moment

52 replies

Hi! I have a problem that I'm hoping to get help from this awesome forum to sort out. First: My set-up consists of a Beosound Moment connected by WiSA to a pair of Beolab 18s and a Beolab 19. Up until now, everything has worked as it should.

While we had some work done in our home the speakers spent a few days disconnected from power and covered by plastic. Yesterday I put them back and plugged them in. The 18s are working as they used to, but I'm getting no music at all from the Beolab 19.

I suspect there is nothing wrong with the 19. It lights up fine when I connect it to power, the lights behave (change colour, flash etc.) in the same way as the lights on the 18s, the Moment finds it when I scan for speakers, and it even emits the low-pitched hiss it should when I press "locate speaker". But it just doesn't play music. The only sound I've heard from it the past two days is that "locate speaker" hissing.

It's more as if the Moment doesn't distribute music to it.

I've tried the following things: Restart the Soundheart (button on the back), restart the Jukebox (paperclip), rescan for speakers, change channel from "subwoofer" to "none" and back again, plug out (and in again) all the speakers, reset (with button) all the speakers. I've tried all this several times and in various combinations and orders. Still nothing.

All help is greatly appreciated! I miss the lower half of my music... 🙁

Why not reset the beolab 19 then pair it again with the beosound moment. It might solve your problem

Hi! Thanks for the tip. However, I've already tried it, several times, and it didn't change anything.

I can add full factory reset of the Moment to the list of things I've tried, btw. Didn't help. 😛

Some strange behaviour encountered: After having tried to reset the speakers a few times in a row they seem to suddenly go into some kind of state of denial where they no longer are listed with their names on the Moment, but where every speaker is listed as "other". I can still choose left or right channel for them when this happens, but they are silent when I press "locate speaker" as well as if I play something. This has happened three times or so, but seems to just pass over by itself if I leave them for a while, like overnight. Then they are listed as Beolab 18/19 again, and functions normally, except for no music in my 19...

Hi Henrik, did you resolve your problem as I have same issue. Already found my setup very bass light last weeks. Are you using beta software for the Moment? I am using 2.1.10841.102458418 software version. Might be related?

Hi! Sorry to hear you have the same issue. I'm not running beta, but the latest non-beta software. 2.1.somethingsomething. 

Not resolved yet, but hopefully getting there. Beocare thinks my Beolab 19 is in need of a firmware upgrade, so there's a technician coming tomorrow to update both my Beolab 19 and my 18s (as a precautionary measure) to the latest version. I must admit, I have no idea which version is the latest, and I have no idea which version my speakers currently have.

I can tell you tomorrow if it worked. 😬🤞🏻

As an interim solution my dealer has let me borrow a powerlink cable, and that worked. Not a good solution, but at least I have bass while I wait for the software upgrade.

Hi Henrik, crossing my fingers it works for you. If it does I'll contact my dealer as well so he can update mine. Did you connect the Powerlink cable directly from the 19 into the moment or one of the Beolab 18 speakers? 

I connected the 19 directly to the Moment by cable, while the 18s were connected via WiSA. I had to move the 19 to the back of the room to do it. It actually didn't even occur to me that I might have connected the 19 to one of the 18s. 🤔 Maybe that would've been better. I thought the 19 didn't sound as good when I connected it the way I did, but at least I got sound from it and as it was a temporary measure I haven't spent much time to sort it out. I thought it included more of the midtone frequencies than I'm used to, and sounded a bit out of touch with the 18s. That might also just be due to the change in placement I suppose. And I'm not sure that I got the left/right settings correct.

Oh, well. In two hours or so I should have it back on wireless anyway. 🤞🏻

No luck so far. He came, he upgraded the firmware on all my speakers, and... the problem persisted. 😬

At least, he agrees with me that the problem must be in my Moment. He's ordered a new jukebox and will get back to me when he has it.

The technician told me that I had the oldest sw-version on all my speakers. I didn't know. The main difference in the old and new sw-version is related to the WiSA-connection, he told me, but speakers not playing at all, like my 19, is not a common problem. Rather, the newer software fixes intermittent dropouts. I've had a few of them as well. Maybe I'll be rid of those then, once I finally get my 19 up and running again...

Hi Henrik, sorry to hear that it did not work out for you. Got note from the B&O dev team that there is a special beta soundheart release which might solve the issue. Waiting to get that assigned to me so I can test which will then probably be Thursday as I have to travel tomorrow. Will feedback on results when I have tested. 

Exciting! Looking forward to hear if that resolves your issue then. I'll probably not have any news by thursday. Travel safe!
