Multiroom "conflict"

I love the feature that one can stream records to the other speakers :)

Unfortunately B&O seems to drop this wonderful feature. Their latest expensive product, the Balance, no longer has it.

Sorry I missed your previous post, what do you mean by “network reboot”? Restarting a product via the B&O app?

That said, you should be able to “propagate” any source from one product to others as long as Beolink is configured on each capable product, which seems to be the case for yours.

I personally have a turntable connected to my Moment and i can join my 4 other products to it so the LP can be listened in all rooms where I have a product.

After restarting the Stage, it all works now - thanks.

 

However, the B&O app crashes and exits quite often when I want to add or remove an additional speaker to Multiroom. I´ve sent a notification to B&O about that.

 

By network reboot I mean turning my router off and on ;)

If all your devices are on WIFI it is best all of them are on the same type of network. So, all 2.4Ghz or all 5GHZ. Normally you can create 2 separate network names for each type of network in your access point, so you're sure they all connect to the right (same) type of network. B&O says this also in their setup menu. 5GHZ is the better network but is has a shorter range ....

The best connection is of course wired ...(less latency). To test the latency you test it with a "ping" command to your device. (for example in command line:  ping 192.168.32.122). You will see all wired connections are much faster in replying. The protocol to synchronise sound between all devices has to take this latency in account. 

I still hope B&O understands the importance of their multiroom protocol and continue to develop it (and use it again in their future products ...) It makes things simple to use. It is not only about sound and design but also about user friendliness. B&O has always been strong in all three of them and now they are dropping one of the most important parts. I see that brands like Sonos are  even making their protocol stronger and easier to use...

Thanks. All my B&O products are connected to the same 2,4Ghz network. I know cabling would be better, but that´s not an option, unfortunately. 

 

I sure do hope as well, that they will keep developing on the Multiroom features. That´s a key factor for me as well.

Good to hear! But check tomorrow if you can still add the Stage to a multiroom experience, and if you can't, you may be in the same situation I'm with my Core, a Stage restart will then be required daily up to the point B&O fixes the issue.

Enjoy!

I will report back, how it acts up tomorrow :)

Sounds like an update is needed for the Stage though, based on your experience.
