Make sure the HDMI input on your TV supports ARC or eARC Make sure the TV is set to use a connected audio system rather than its internal speakers Make sure your HDMI cable is compatible with HDMI 1.4 or above For non eARC enabled TVs, make sure that the audio output of your TV is set to 'Stereo PCM (Uncompressed)'

TV will not switch on or control your connected product

Make sure that 'TV Power Control' is enabled in the StreamMagic app on the TV ARC source settings page

Troubleshooting

Last updated: August 9, 2024 09:12. Revision #13563

If you have trouble connecting the Player to your network or the StreamMagic app to your Player, these steps may help to resolve the problem:

Ensure that you have followed the 'Connecting to WiFi' steps in the manual here. Ensure your mobile device is connected to the same network you wish to connect your Player to. Remove any VPN or Anti Virus app you may have downloaded on your mobile device, as they can sometimes prevent the app from 'seeing' other devices on the network. Remove any network switches/extenders etc. that are part of your network set up Connect the unit directly to your router via an Ethernet cable. Perform a factory reset on your unit, and then attempt the network set up steps again. Check that a DHCP server is available, or that you have conﬁgured a static IP address on your Player. You can conﬁgure a static IP address on the unit via the 'Network' settings in the StreamMagic app. Reboot and/or factory reset your router.

If your Player is experiencing audio dropouts during playback from a network source, these steps may help to resolve the problem:

Remove any network switches, extenders, boosters etc. that may be part of your network set up Connect the unit directly to your router via an Ethernet cable. Reset your network router. Perform a factory reset on your Player by following the steps in the manual here.

If your Player can connect to the network successfully but is unable to play particular Internet Radio stations, it may be due to one of the following causes:

The station is not broadcasting at this time of the day (remember it may be in a diﬀerent time zone). The link in our database is simply out of date. (You can request that a radio station is added or updated by following the steps in the

following FAQ.)

The Internet connection between the server (often located in a diﬀerent country) and you is slow. Try deleting and then re-installing the StreamMagic app on your device. If the station is set as a preset, delete and then re-install the station as a preset in the StreamMagic app. Perform a factory reset on your Speaker by following the steps in the manual here.

If you have problems with UPnP playback check the following:

Ensure your chosen UPnP server software can serve the ﬁle type you are trying to access. Some servers do not serve FLAC for instance. This Player can only play non-DRM ﬁles. Files that have DRM controls cannot be played. If attempting to play 24-bit WAV or FLAC content, note a wired Ethernet connection is normally preferred for reliable operation due to bandwidth considerations. Check the Player can play back the ﬁle type you are trying to access. ALAC, WAV, FLAC, AIFF, DSD (x256), WMA, MP3, AAC, HE AAC AAC+, OGG Vorbis can currently be played. Ensure your PC/NAS drive are connected to the same network as your Player. Ensure you have followed the required steps for PC/NAS drive conﬁguration. You can ﬁnd out more about this in the following FAQ.

If you have problems with USB Media playback check the following:

Check the Player can play back the ﬁle type you are trying to access. ALAC, WAV, FLAC, AIFF, DSD (x256), WMA, MP3, AAC, HE AAC AAC+, OGG Vorbis can currently be played. This Player can only play non-DRM ﬁles. Files that have DRM controls cannot be played. Check that your device does not require more than 1A if it is powered from the USB socket itself. Check your device is formatted in FAT32/NTFS/exFAT/Ext4 format. The way you organise your USB media aﬀects the size of the internal database the Player needs to build dynamically as you browse content. It is good practice to create folders for Artists, within which should be a sub folder for each album containing the tracks for that album. Libraries with thousands of tracks in one folder will progressively slow down the Player's media browsing.

If you have problems connecting a Bluetooth device to the Player check the following:

Ensure the Bluetooth source has been selected via the remote control, app or front panel source selector. You will be unable to pair a Bluetooth device to the Player unless the Bluetooth source has been selected. Ensure the Player is not already connected to another Bluetooth device.

There is no sound:

Ensure the Player is not in Standby mode. Ensure the Player is not muted. Ensure the correct source has been selected via the remote control, app or front panel source selector. Check that any connected device is not in mute mode.

There is a buzz or hum when connecting a turntable to the Phono input:

Check that the ground lead is securely connected to both the turntable and the Player's ground tab. Ensure all cable connections are secure.

Can I play from a connected source, such as a turntable or USB HD, when the Evo One is not connected to a network?

As the Evo One is a Network Player, it requires a network connection to function properly.
