Moving away from BeoSound 5
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jun 6, 2019 21:16It actually worked better with the chrome cast. The audio level is a lot closer to the rest of the sources. 70e well spent! Compared to the 3000 of the offer of the B&O guys.
Moving away from BeoSound 5
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jun 6, 2019 12:20Hi, Thanks for those pointers, I plugged everything in in the order described and then got indeed music coming through, but at quite a lower volume than all the other sources. I'll try today to hookup my chromecast audio…
Moving away from BeoSound 5
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jun 4, 2019 18:42So I finally got the quote from my dealer and let's say it's enough to make me consider other options. I finally found a 1611 converter online, a 3.5mm to din cable, hooked everything up to the audio jack of my samsung, …
Moving away from BeoSound 5
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · May 6, 2019 10:37[quote user="Millemissen"] The biggest difference is that you need the command A.Aux to open up the port from your linkroom devices. As I wrote earlier - it depends on the sw version of the Actives/Passives, whether they…
Moving away from BeoSound 5
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Apr 29, 2019 15:30This is quickly becoming the most useful series of answers I've ever gotten :-) So one more questions. The 1611 Converter idea seems to get a lot of love, but why would it be better than hooking up that UFO external soun…
Moving away from BeoSound 5
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Apr 29, 2019 07:40When the dealer was explaining all the options he mentioned this NL/ML converter and how unstable it was etc and that it had been taken out of sales? It seems you guys don't think as it as unstable?

in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Apr 28, 2019 22:37[quote user="lechatsurletoit"] What you need is to add a masterlink plug to your system if you don’t have one free. Thats the difficult part.[/quote] That's actually the easy part for me, This house has a master link plu…
Moving away from BeoSound 5
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Apr 28, 2019 16:16Thanks all, this does look very promising. However we are quickly approaching the outer bands of my comfort zone. Let's see if I get this right: this converts piece will trick the setup thinking there is a tv feeding in …
Moving away from BeoSound 5
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Apr 28, 2019 09:00So I have visited my dealer and their proposal is basically to remove the beosound 5 (at most keep it for DLNA access to the music library on it) and add a beosound core to every beosound passive and replace all our beos…
Moving away from BeoSound 5
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Apr 27, 2019 08:35You are right, and to be clear, we bought this house which had a beolink connection in each room and speakers in ceilings etc, but without heart. So plugging in this beosound/beomaster made everything working. And the wa…
Moving away from BeoSound 5
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Apr 26, 2019 19:24Thanks, That helps. I have an appointment tomorrow with them. But i'm still on the fence. We have spent the equivalent of a small family car on this system and here we are 6 years later with a completely outdated system.…
Moving away from BeoSound 5
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Apr 26, 2019 16:42Hi, Our setup at home is that we have BeoSound/Beomaster 5 as 'master' and 7 rooms with BeoLink active/passive. Since the demise of the last option to use spotify on the beomaster, this nice system turned out to be the b…
Spotify connect player for BS5
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Apr 12, 2019 15:14The version that we ran on XP was already not supported since some time, I suppose the rest of the applications moved one and this one was left behind. Anyway, this crap is not Spotify's fault.

Spotify Connect is now on my BS5!!!
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jan 1, 2018 16:33This must have been the spotify app you installed at some point that came alive somehow. I'm using the same solution. No way this is the old integration working again. That one will never come back.
Spotify playlist issues on BeoSound 5
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Dec 12, 2017 17:15My beomaster isn't on wifi. And the way this works is that the app on the beomaster streams music itself, so why would there be drops?
Spotify playlist issues on BeoSound 5
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Dec 12, 2017 16:31So, they came over and the 'secret' solution is to download the latest version of the spotify for windows app that is supported on XP, sign in and you can control the music through the app on phone, tablet etc...
Spotify playlist issues on BeoSound 5
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Dec 1, 2017 18:15Hi, I might have some news on this. Few months ago my B&O dealer said that they would provide a chrome cast and something else for free to be able to use spotify connect. Then it went silent for a loong time and I contac…
Spotify playlist issues on BeoSound 5
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Mar 15, 2017 17:51I had the same problem and deleting all the Spotify generated playlists (but keeping the ones i made manually), fixed the issue. This system is becoming the biggest disappointment in my life... ;-)
