Nope - works fine for me with just the Beolab 3500 connected and the Beoport set to option 2. :-)

When used on a PC with Beoplayer, or a Mac with LinkPlayer, you can use the Beoport as an AudioMaster.

In addition, with LinkPlayer you can use the Beoport with incompatible music systems, BC900, BC2500...) in certain setups.

Have I missed something?

Didn't the beoport module need a beosound 4, 3000, 3200, 9000 or BC2 to function properly?

The new 1.1 version should fix this problem.

Hi Phil

Sounds great - do you have any time estimate?

It is a problem with LinkPlayer in option 2 that I knew happened with the Beolab 2000. I think the issue with the Beolab 3500 is the same.

There will be a fix at some point.

That's allright - could easily be something simple :-), but yes the sound is set to absolute max on the mac mini. Tried to connect headphones and there was no problem.

I also checked the wiring and to me it seems okay. I used to junctions boxes.

It's also a bit strange, that the Beolab seems to be a delay in reacting to the infrared commands from the Beo4.

I'll try the other sources.

@Phil: thanks Phil - I post the questions that way around also.

Best regards

Heeyyy!

Now I get very weak sound from the Beolab - guess it could have something to do with the wiring - I better check again.

mmmmmhhhh.......??.......?!?....

It`s not necessary to update your Beo4. You can choose A.TAPE2 command for N.MUSIC and PHONO for N.RADIO.

But I remember that my BL3500 had to be updated when I got my BS9000 and BM1 - I can`t remember why.....

I would try to configure N.MUSIC and N.RADIO for mac sorces in Linkplayer and try to activate them by A.TAPE2 and PHONO.

What happens?, what does BL3500 display? BTW can you check whether there is sound on your minis output if you connect headphones?

Hi Stefan

As soon as I disconnected my optical cable from the mini mac and connected the soundcable that came with the Beoport, the Digital Out option disappeared..

Radio is assigned to iTunes Radio, CD is assigned to iTunes etc.. I haven't connected and IR to the Beoport.

There is a setting to enable n.music etc. (see screendump):

Neither the Beo4 nor the Beolab 3500 is upgraded to N.Music, but is that necessary??

Thanks for helping!

When you say you get perfect digtal sourround sound (DTS, Dolby etc.), so the digital out works..the output must be set to "digital"...(?)

Did you assign a mac source to the button RADIO? Soryy, I don`t have Beoport and Linkplayer (not yet!), so I can`t help there too much.

Did you connect an IR eye to Beoport. If yes, what happens, when you press RADIO in that room?

If I remember correctly, there is a button in Linkplayer, that allows the mac to distribute N.MUSIC/N.RADIO via Masterlink...(?)
