Yes I experience the SPDIF input crackling too on firmware 4.8.520133. Previously I would experience audio drop outs on the SPDIF input. Those have gone now but instead I get occasional crackling.

Yes tried reboot and power cycle. I tried again last night. If I manually change to another input in the app other than optical it then switched back to optical as intended after going into standby. As soon as I cast from Chromecast, disconnected from Chromecast, the pro goes into standby and...

Yes. Submitted already.

Auto-sensing used to work but updated to firmware 4.8.520133 and now it doesn’t work. If the Wiim Pro is streaming music from Chromecast and I stop casting - disconnect from the Wiim pro via Chromecast app - then after the wiim pro goes into standby it should auto sense the active optical input...

The 500mvrms setting didn’t help the audio drop outs I’m experiencing on TV -> toslink -> Wiim Pro -> toslink -> Powered speaker.

I’ve stopped using the optical input now on the Pro. My TV is connected directly to the speaker via optical - no drop outs now. Pro used only for casting and have to switch inputs on the speaker between TV and Pro optical inputs.

Another firmware update 4.8.513047. Another release that doesn’t resolve the audio dropping issue.

Yes I really like the Pro for my setup of a TV and powered Kanto speakers and sub. The auto sensing input feature and the short standby time allow me to switch automatically between casting music and TV without any use of the Kanto remote control which is good in a household where if I...

Sorry. My bad. Not fixed. Put the box in standby for a couple of minutes and the drop outs returned like before.

Yea nobody hold their breath on the fix. The release notes aren’t live and the firmware update was installed today. So far no drop outs which are normally fairly consistent to reproduce when the box comes out of standby.

Seems my Pro box has a new firmware update: 4.8.512537. It does appear to have fixed the audio drop outs but i did hear some crackling noise for a brief period. Early days so I’ll keep the thread posted.

No analogue audio outputs on my TV at all.

Unfortunately my TV doesn’t have a line out. I could buy an optical to line out DAC, which doesn’t cost much, but seems kinda pointless just to fix an issue. I submitted a ticket to Wiim support which they acknowledged they are looking into but no response yet.

The latest firmware update 4.8.511631 hasn’t made any difference to the audio drops for me.

Ok. Thanks.
