SoundTouch Firmware Update - 24.0.7

SoundTouch Speakers
21

I applied the update, which was waiting for me this afternoon, to all my speakers. The app update installed very quickly, the hardware portion took a few minutes to complete. I was able to confirm installation of the update looking in the “about” section of the utility menu of the SoundTouch app.

 

Sadly my two SoundTouch 30 III’s don't show in the Airplay menu, despite applying the troubleshooting steps outlined in the 2/20 update message from . I suspect these two speakers need the Airplay chip update. I will have to confirm with Bose tech support tomorrow.

 

The SoundTouch wifi adaptor on my Cinemate 130 is also an Airplay no show, which wasn’t too surprising at this point.

 

The good news, I was able to connect my ST10(mono), AppleTV Series 4 (connected to a Bose Solo),  Bose Smart Speaker 300 and Samsung Smart TV and Cinemate 130, using Airplay. All devices played with no synchronization problems. Volume settings was direct on the ST10 and SH300 speakers. The Apple TV, Airport Express adaptors and TV/Cinemate setup are volume dependent on the app, while the corresponding SoundTouch, Solo and Cinemate speakers had separate volume control...no surprise there. Another characteristic of using adaptors v built in Airplay.

 

Sound quality is very good all around.

I second what  says!

Please enable AirPlay2 on the Wireless Link Adapter and let us customers decide if latency is an issue.

 

The Apple Airport Express and the Sonos Port which are equivalent to the Wireless Link Adapter also support AirPlay2 and don’t face latency issues.

Maybe the latency is not a problem with the Wireless Link Adapter and all devices simply lack the Apple Authentication Chip.

24

I would like to hear that statement from Bose. They explicitly mentioned latency as the issue - if it was the lack of the chip they could have also said that. 

25

So far no update for me is there a delay ???? On Appstore it's still the old version......

26

It‘s not an app update, but a firmware update. Open the Soundtouch app on one of your devices and you should be prompted to update your speakers. 

27

Will the airplay 2 update roll out to my SoundTouch Lifestyle 135 system in the near future?

28

Anyone have any ideas on why Airplay 2 is available on only two of my three SoundTouch 10 speakers?
Tried all the suggestions on the help page, updated firmware through app (manually as well), still no dice.  Any suggestions?

Hi, today I installed the latest update and I was glad to see that finally the Airplay 2 support was implemented. I only have a I Mac and tried the Airplay option on my ST20III. Worked like a charm and sounds great. I noticed that indeed the Wireless Soundtouch adapter is not available to be selected for Airplay playback. Schermafbeelding 2020-02-25 om 19.34.22.png

Only my two ST 20 III ( Kitchen and Front ) are available and I can select the one or the other. Will there be an option like in the Spotify app to playback the source to a group of ST speakers ?

 

Secondly I would like to know why the Wireless Soundtouch adapter is not available for Airplay 2 playback, all other ST options do work on my Wireless Soundtouch adapter even the AUX imput I use to playback CD's. Using Spotify I can also select my Wireless Soundtouch adapter ( Soundbar ) ?

Keep up the good work and development.
