M3 drooping audio, out of solutions.

20 replies

Hello,

Whilst working out the delays in NL it's working as expected, for a while. 
The M3 stays fine for a ±day or two, i'm able to join a source without problems (V1 / BS35)

After this period the M3 does not join using the remote or button, using the app works but the sound is droopy — a pitch lower and sounds 'slow'. Disconnecting the power and trying again the M3 is 'fine' again.

 

NL delays are ±500ms, connected to 5Ghz network and excellent connection.

Any idea's?

Not sure if you have the latest software on your M3, but I have the same symptoms since the last software update.

- M3 frequently becomes out of sync in a Beolink multiroom group.

- M3 suddenly stops playing music and cannot start any source

- M3 can no longer be controlled by the B&O App

Off/on clears the issues up to next occurrence

I have already opened a case with B&O for the second point, provided them with the logs and I had a look myself at the logs where a module crash is obvious.

I encourage you to open a case so they get the focus on the issues as the number of cases increases.

Well, i’m on the latest software and the problem sounds the same, i’ll contact B&O and refer to this topic.

FYI:

I raised case #304291 for M3 suddenly stopping playing any source, becoming uncontrollable with the B&O App

I also raised case #299189 for M3 stopping playing between tracks when part of a multiroom group where the lead is a BS Moment and particularly when the source is Deezer. It happened too with a Core being the multiroom lead but I could not reproduced it where it is easily reproductible with the BS Moment.

Experience the same thing!

A pitch lower sound and voices when joining another source. If I flip to another source and back again, it sound okay again.

For those having the issue with the M3, are you using WiFi Mesh networks or WiFi hostpost with the same name (same SSID)?

Great, thanks. This could be the issue.

B&O answered to my M3 case + logs. They pretend my WiFi hotspot is not providing enough bandwidth to my M3 for Deezer listening and that there were some « frequency interferences », suggesting i rename my hotspot .....

Where the analysis’ conclusion makes no sense to me (I’m a network engineer), the recommended solution (ssid rename) rang a bell to me and reminded me about a similar issue the Moment had with mesh networks.

As I also have two hotspots sharing the same SSID, and I need that setup, I activated another hotspot, nearby the one used by the M3 previously, name it with a different unique SSID and configured the M3 to use it.

My systematic M3 issues (murltiroom drops) have stopped (only one in many hours of listening scenario previously causing drops).

I’ll do more test and I’ll feedback B&O. If the ssid rename really solves the issue, this will confirm that since the latest software update, the M3 has trouble with shared ssid ,

maybe mesh networks too, which was not the case previously as I have this setup since acquired the M3, more than 2y ago.
