    BeoSound 4 is NOT faulty

    Recently I posted a fault with my BS4. It was shutting down after approx. 20 mins. 

    However it has been fully tested and hasnt shut down once under lab conditions. B&O reckon it could be the Apple Airport Express connected to it that was causing it to shut down. Does anyone think it could be?

    I have one with my BS4 and i've never had a problem. Are you using it plug straight into a GPO or do you have a power protector? Try a different outlet.

    Thanks but I have it plugged into a Monster surge protector similar to this one with these cables.

    Re: BeoSound 4 is NOT faulty

    OK. So I have had my BS4 back for a week now with no shut downs occurring, with or without the Apple Airport Express (AAE) connected. Maybe it was the AAE after all. Having it off for the week has fixed the problem. (I also reconfigured my AAE with new wireless settings)

    Anyway I don't think the fault was with the B&O BeoSound 4.

    Faith is now restored. I blame Apple and its dodgy OSX 10.5.1 operating system.

    Re: BeoSound 4 is NOT faulty

    There's no way it could be anything to do with the Airport Express...

    The AirPort only connects via Audio, which no matter what the audio input, could not affect the BeoSound 4's function.

    I thought the same but in the absence of any other explanation I'm now not too sure. My AAE had been freezing iTunes around the same time.

    Re: BeoSound 4 is NOT faulty

    That could be down to a Leopard glitch, but the BeoSound 4 freezing is nothing to do with the AirPort Express.

    It's more likely an issue to do with the mains supply or an ML system. Most 'weird' issues with B&O products are down to misbehaving ML systems...
