Hi

I have a problem with aux in, only one channel is playing. I’m using the original b&o supplied cable #6271374.

I’m using the same cable as before with my beosound core, but now just with the b&o mini jack to usb-c cable in to the theatre.

When I plug the minijack into a beoplay m3 and multirom it to the theatre, then both channels are playing.

I also got another minijack to usb-c adapter from my dealer, same problem.

Just tested after new software release, same problem.

Have anyone used the aux with the minijack to usb-c adapter?

 

Best regards

Allan

To be more precise about my Powerlink issue with the Theatre:

When i have the BL90 connected and setup in the App as Powerlink, the room compensation measurement process for a 5.1 speakergroup using the microphone is stopped as soon as the signal hits the Powerlink connected BL90's. It works though, when the BL90's are set up and connected as wireless to the Theatre in the App. Then it is possible to get a room corrected speaker group preset and the process functions as expected.

I wanted to use the BS Core for listening to music (only) through a dedicated source/transport. When i listened to BL90’s in the B&O store using a BV Harmony compared to using a budget Bluesound Vault2 directly feeding the BL90’s via coax the same day, it sounded better without the TV in the chain.
That’s why i wanted to try the Core. TV and movies is not my priority with the BL90’s … for me it is 90% stereo music, und 10% surround music playing live concerts etc.. What would you suggest in order to exploit the best sound possible out of the BL90’s in stereo and alternatively in a 5.1 or 5.2 setup? I would think, that the BL90’s should benefit from a decent source feeding them.
You should be able to setup a listening position on your Theatre with only the Beolab 90, then you have a B90 only stereo setup with the Theatre acting like a Mozart BS Core" :)

 Still would not solve my issue, as it is only possible connecting the BL90 as wireless to the Theatre, creating a room corrected speaker group. And in addition to that, i'd have to deactivate the Theatre speakers in the configuration menu of the speaker group, in order to get pure stereo mode.

Ive just been playing with this very aspect (I think). This is what I have done so far, and have yet to test it critically.
  1. Listening Positions parameters
  2. Run Room Sense BSTH/BL90/BL3 surround setup. Speaker Preset to 0 (Auto). Rename to Video". Set as Start-up Default 5.1
  3. Re-Run Room Sense but with BSTH/BL3 omitted i.e. BL90 Only. Speaker Preset to 1 (Narrow beam I think). Rename to Narrow
  4. Duplicate BL90 Narrow Listening position, Rename to wide, Speaker Preset to 2 (wide beam)
  5. As above for Omni, Speaker Preset to 3
There is a bug in the Beoapp that can only display 1.5 buttons for listening positions. However, if I have this right, you can operate BL90s in true narrow mode with two front loudspeakers only, and flick into Video mode, with the correct delays/sync and fire-up all loudspeaker sets including the BSTH. If you are firing up the BL90s from a 3rd Party device, they (I think) operate with the original calibration installed from the BL90 room Sense and not that of the Theatre. Again, I have asked B&O to look into this and sort-out the mish-mash they have now made. As a final note, please connect your BL90s via Powerlink rather than WISA. They and your ears deserve them.

I might have missed something, but can’t you just connect the Beolap 90’s with powerlink to your Theatre? Or is it because you want optical or similar instead?
I can, but if i do so, the room compensation process via the BS Theatre can not be applied. I have to connect the BL90 in wireless mode (WISA) to have that feature working. It 's a software bug/failure.
And of course i wan't to run the BL90's wired via Powerlink to get the maximum sound quality out of them.

Ooops I saw someone mentioned this yesterday.
