Beosound Core / Beolab 50 volume control

[YannChris]

Hello Beoworlders,

My BL50s are connected to a Theatre through Powerlink and to a Beosound Core though Optical.

In the Beo App and my Beoremote Halo, I cannot directly control the volume level of the Core.

I have to choose what to listen and begin the playback in the BS Core page, then go to the BL50 page to control volume level.

I suspect this could be corrected in the Core settings, but I cannot find where.

And of course the B&O website is of no help as there is no user guide available but only a very limited FAQ where my question is not listed.

Anybody can help?

Thanks and kind regards,

Yann.

Hi

Beo APP -> Configure -> Sound -> OPTICAL-OUT – choose: “Volume regulated output”

Hi and thank you.

Already done, but it does not work.

BL 50s input is set to Automatic as I use several sources:

<li style=”list-style-type: none;”>

• Powerlink for the Beovision Theatre,
• Coaxial for Wiim Pro Plus,
• Optical for Beosound Core.

I wonder if the USB A on the Core is an USB audio output that I could connect to the 50s.

Kind regards,

Yann.

Are you finding a difference in sound quality between the Theatre and Core? Wondering the thought process for having both in the system

Being a Mozart product, the Theatre does not give a direct access to my ML sources (I do not find the “join” workaround very practical) .

The Core does through the ML/NL converter.

Hi

Is it a Beosound Core (old) or Beoconnect Core (new) you have? I have Beosound Core and Beolab 50, where I have the Core’s optical output (line/optical combo 3.5mm jack) to the Beolab 50’s optical input.

Hi,

Could you post screenshots of the settings related to Optical in the app?

As you I have a Beosound Core and the 50s are connected as follows:

Optical to the Core

Coaxial to a Wiim Pro+

Powerlink to Beovision Theatre

Thanks.

That’s what I have but it does not work.

I rebooted the Core several times without success.

My 50s input selection is set to Automatic. Is it so in your setup?

Regards,

Yann.

Hi

I have it set for Automatic with the following ranking of input. I have powerlink as 1st. (BL50 – Harmony) and 2nd. (BL50 – BS Core) – see screendump.

Thanks.

Same settings here.

I deleted the Core in the app and added it again.

With the same settings as before, it works as expected. Strange.

It makes my Halo much more easy to use.

Kind regards,

Yann.

Great to see your setup working now. I’m in a similar situation — I’m also using Halo as my primary way to control the volume and sources on my Beosound Core connected to my Beolab 50s. It’s a very convenient setup once everything is synced properly in the app.
