Can anyone tell me what firmware their 218 runs? My 218 seems to have lost all digital outputs (SL, and S/PDIF).
The speakers are OK as I’ve checked them using the same source the 218 isn’t passing though with an AC200 I had lying around. My firmware is 1.1, build 218. I also tried SL out into the AC200 and there was no joy.
The inputs appear fine as the 218 gets a lock on the digital in and Roon is showing that music is playing on the unit.
SL out is set to on.
Many thanks.
Have you rebooted it? Always worth a try
Mine is version 1.1 build 218
Thanks Chris. Nice idea but no joy.
Same as Chris, 1.1, build 218.
Have you looked around the Sources and Audio Output sections of the 218s web interface?
“1.1 build 218”
I’ve had regular / consistent problems with my 218, which is installed ‘in series’ with my 861v8 - and results in total loss of sound.
The culprit is a ‘bad connection’ caused by one of the ethernet cables. After that was replaced, occasionally I’ve had to give all the cables a wiggle & power-off / on the 218 again.
Worth a try, but as others have mentioned, may be something to do with your set-up.
I sent my 218 to my excellent dealer who reported no problems at all.
When he sent it back I plugged it in to the same setup as before and there was sound.
Bizarre.
Interesting…I wonder if you had a similar problem to mine…
I would suggest - based on my own experience - which is ongoing (this occurs ‘regularly’) - that you ensure all the LAN cables are decent quality & the terminations look good, that the cables aren’t hanging / under tension and that the back of the 218 is easily accessible - so that you can give the cables a wiggle from time-to-time or pull the power out for a full reset.
I too suffer in this way; the cats are to blame in my case. They do love to chew cables…
