In my last setup, with a BC2 I could control the soundlevel on my BC2. On the BS5 I dont have this possibility.

I do not know - I can't comment - perhaps a BS 5/encore owner can

Another thing, the A.aux - I have been told using the usb inlet with a external sound card. I have tried this,

The USB port would be fore attaching additional "memory" sources - a USB stick, a hard drive.

I think you after the line-in.

Here is B&O's website list for Beosound 5 Encore's connections with the USB and line-in highlighted.

Easy access sockets: 1 x Mini jack (for Headphone), 1 x Line-in (for iPod/iPhone or MP3 players), 1 x USB connection (for temporary USB storage), Permanent access:1 x Power Link, 1 x Ethernet 10/100Mb, Wireless (for music server and netradio), 1 x USB connection (for e.g. permanent USB hard disk)

and the Beosound 5's (not as good) connections list:

BeoSound 5: DVI-D, USB and HDMI (for BeoMaster 5 only) BeoMaster 5: Master Link Power Link Ethernet 10/100Mb USB for wireless transmitter receiver Line-out - analogue stereo L/R DVI-I, S-Video, YPbPr, SPDIF, Composite Video

The soundlevel can definitely be controlled by the BS5 itself. I have had a similar setup before. Cannot say for sure what I have changed since then since I do not have that functionality today but a good start would probably be to see if your BS5 is set as audio master (I have a BS9000 as AM nowadays and the BS5 as slave). 

There shall be some usb interface/soundcard since the usb act as the aux/line in. But I cant find it to work. 

All the speakers are connected to the TV.

The BS5 is connected to the tv with the LM cable.

I have set my BS5 as an audiomaster. 

Hi Rikard.

Do you have set the option to "0" on BeoSound/ BeoMaster 5?

That`s exactly the most important question....🙂

Doesn`t matter, if your BS5 is audiomaster or not - if audiomaster and your BLs are connected to a videomaster, set it to A.OPT 0.

If no audiomaster you have no option setting choice on BS5. In both cases it should be possible to control the volume via the wheel.

The Bs5 is set as an audio master and a.opt is 0. (the same setting as on the old BC2).

Perhaps the BS5 is broken somehow.. 

I also connected the video out - Svideo to my tv. The tv is set to PC, and the bv asked if it was a BS5 - it is set ok. When I press PC the audio stops and the tv goes on, but no picture.. It is all black. I have also connected a usb mouse and keyboard - press these, still black.. 

Yesterday evening I got some answers from my dealer.

According to him there is no possibility to change volume on the BS5 if the speakers are connected to the tv - as in my setup. My old BC2 had that ability. 

In my opinion the BS5 falls, when you have to use both the remote and stand beside the machine to change songs.. Then Im back where I began - with the Ipad and B&O remote.. If you have the speakers connected directly to the BS5 then you can change the volume on the BS5.. Then I need to have double speaker setup - in that case one of the ideas of B&O falls.. It is not my intention to sound negative, it is the way Im thinking and talking to my wife about this. 

Another thing that irritates me is that there is no possibility to do anything else than just skip to the next song on the beo4. You have to stand beside the machine.. My dealers idea was to buy the app for the BS5. But then Im back were I started - using the iPad and the remote. In that case I can go back to my old setup - BC2, Mac and iTunse. Shure I loos MOTS witch is a cool feature, but in my opinion it is not so great that its worth it when the system is controlled like the old system - only much more expensive.. Shure BS5 is a cool machine and all, but I dont need to show off.. 

Perhaps there is better controlability if you use the Beo6 - if that is the case the dealers should tell that to the customers.. 

Regarding the a.aux input - usb, you need to have the thing that B&O recommend to get it to work. - Actually no biggie.. 

And since we now end up at the same place as before we bought the BS5, I will try to trade it back to my old BC2 - a masterpiece on the wall :) and having my iPad controlling my mac..

Unfortunately as often (!) the dealer is wrong.....

Ofcourse it is possible to control volume via the BS5 wheel when connected to a Beovision in "2/0" setup - V.OPT 2 - A.OPT 0.

Beo 6 gives you wifi 2way communication . So you can browse your music library. This works from everywhere in the house in all linkrooms.

This setup (BS5 - no audiomaster, BS9000 audiomaster A.OPT 0) works in my house since years.

What makes me wonder is, that you connected the BV10 via Svideo to your BS5. Usually you use the DVI out to HDMI in of your BV....(???)

What are the connections between your BM5 and BV10 and what are the settings ?
