Multiroom "conflict"

16 replies

I bought a Beoplay M5 today for my office. I hooked a turntable up to it, and can now stream records to the other speakers in my home, which is brilliant. 

 

However...

 

I have a Beoplay A9 Mk. 2 and a Beosound Stage as well. All three speakers are connected to the same network. 

 

When I play something on the M5 and want to extend it to the A9, that works fine. If I want to extend it to the Stage it says "Could not expand the experience" (translated from danish "kunne ikke udvide oplevelsen"), and then the Stage goes red in the Multiroom overview. When playing something on the A9, the Stage can join. When playing something on the Stage, only the A9 shows up in the Multiroom overview - the M5 is missing.

 

What am I doing wrong here?

 

I´ve contacted B&O support, but with all the knowledge in here that might be faster :)

Can you expand anything else (e.g. TuneIn) playing on the M3 to the Stage?

Did you configure the Stage yourself?

Oups, sorry - I meant ‘playing on the M5’.

Yes, I configured the Stage myself, but there´s nothing in the settings that seems to solve this issue. Besides, I can expand from the A9 to the Stage without any issues. 

 

I´ve tried with radio (TuneIn) and Line-In playing on the M5, neither can be expanded to the Stage. 

 

The most important for me is, that I can expand to the A9 - but I would really like the Stage to work as well.

Well, a network reboot (for the third time) changed things. Now I can expand to the Stage OR the A9 - not both. And the app crashed a few times. 

 

Is it supposed to work like this, so you only can expand to ONE speaker - not two or more?

Have you tried to restart the Stage (via the B&O App or turning the mains off/on) just after the above experience and check if same issue happens?

Are you able to temporarily wire all three NL products? This way you can check if there is something wrong with the Network Link or that the problems are wifi related.

I’ve only experienced problems with Multiroom when products where on wifi

Sadly I´m not able to wire the products. 

 

I will try a reboot of the Stage later (when SWMBO is not using the TV).

 

Thanks for your inputs, guys.

I'm asking as I have identified a problem with my Core that is close to what you are experiencing with your Stage and I have now some ideas about the root cause. If a Stage restart solves your multiroom issue up to the next day, then it should be what I'm facing since more than one month (since latest software update) with my Core.

Well, rebooting the network made it work, as I mentioned further up in the thread - will play around some more tomorrow. Right now I´m just enjoying the M5 with the turntable connected; what a wonderfull speaker, and I love the feature that one can stream records to the other speakers :)
