3.4.1(8) update for my Theatre today - the regular update.

Can’t say much yet - had to restart my AppleTV (unplug/replug) to have it activated as I started watching this evening.

I guess the ‘individual start up volume for sources’ thing is only relevant, if you use the app of the LG-tv (which I do not do), or?
By the way, I do not see where this should be handled in the app.

The volume gain for individual sources is accessible under "... / Sources / Source Behaviour /".

The select a source, scroll down the resulting page and there is a Volume Gain setting.

I've tried it, and it's not obviously making much difference (I've set gain to +4 for one specific source so far).

Does anyone use the ethernet ports with gigabit speed internet?

I have gigabit fibre at home and connect the theatre direct to the router, then connect my Apple TV and xbox to the theatre. Download speeds drop to 500mb when going via the theatre, but connect them directly to the router and it is 900+ as expected. The tech specs say the ports are gigabit ethernet ports but the speeds don't match this.

I replaced all the cables to see if it was this and there has been no change.

Is it advised to recalibrate all speakers following a software update or is that not necessary?
Has anyone had this confirmed with B&O? Just wondering as the details of these (very-far-between) software updates always entail some adjustments to sound in one shape or form.

BeoCare advised me that re-running a room sense for the speaker setup isn't necessary. However, I can tell that the surround and rear speakers are now really overpowering the center channel (the Theatre itself). I'm wondering if adding the left and right speakers of the Theatre now would help compensate for this.

Can anyone confirm if we now have the option to tell the Theatre what model of BeoLabs are connected to Receiver 1 units so that room sense gets the correct values? BeoCare has told me that this is still not possible. However, someone else told me that it now is.

Ive had an issue from the beginning that if I unplug the Theatre or instal a software update the when it reboots it makes a loud feedback hum on all the connected speakers.  I come home from vacation more than once to find out it could have been doing that for days. Anyone else?

Hi,

Since the new update I  can’t control my Apple tv 4k which is connected through BST with my LG OLED 8C anymore. It worked perfectly prior to the update.

Anyone else experiencing the same problem?

When you say connected are you using PUC to control your Apple TV device and a BR1?  As this is working fine for me.

However, I have two other LG TVs one connected to a B&O Stage the other standalone where both LG TV’s are connected to an Apple TV 4K device and also a Sky Q mini box using LG’s simplink (hdmi cec) to control all devices with the LG remote.

Since updating the Apple TV to TVOS 17.4 the hdmi cec no longer works for the Apple TV, but still OK for the Sky Q mini boxes.  Only articles I can see online refer to controling devices through cec but with the Apple TV remote not the other way round.  I have had to go back to using two remotes for these TVs.

Thanks for the prompt reply. I am using LG remote and HDMI CEC, and as I said, for me it worked until BST update. I don’t recall that the Apple TV had an update recently but I will check.
