BeoSound Shape Airplay 2 dropouts

24 replies

I have a vey similar problem.

It’s happening in my iPad PRO M1, and MBP M1.. when i restart the devices i am able to stream via Airplay2. But after a undetermined amount of time not playing music, the problem appears.

BUT

In my iPhone 12 PRO works perfectly!! 

I’ve tried some workarounds B&O support suggested to do, deleting my Beosound2 from my account and setup again.. but nothing helped.

I’ve noticed, in January 12, 2022 B&O updated BS2 firmware. I came back from holidays some days after with this new problem. Maybe this has something to do.

i am waiting further instructions from B&O support. Will see..

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for your input and comments above.  Apologies for being radio silent and not updating this post.   I got notified yesterday for the first time via email that there was an update to this forum and decided to check.

Since updating my macOS to Big Sur and iOS 14 (a year ago), I have had no issues with Airplay anymore on my BeoSound Shape.

I have also had tested this with iOS 15 and it seems to work fine.  I have not updated to macOS Monterey (current version) yet as I am waiting for 12.3 to be released before making the jump.

Perhaps Apple internally updated the Airplay and fixed it.  I did report it to Apple at the same time I put up this post a while back.

All my Airplay devices are working fine now.  I prefer to connect everything via ethernet to reduce wireless interference.  Having said that, my M3 speaker is connected wirelessly as I had no choice.

Thanks again and all the best.
