Hi
Just got myself a Beosound Core to play music though and to use as sound from my Samsung television. Beolab 14 as speekers.
Music though Spotify works great, but I just can´t get any sound from my TV no matter what I do.
What I have done and tried: Optical cable connected from the TV to the Core. Light i the cable works, so there is "power" in the connection and should work. From the B&O app I have set the Core to play from optical, but that just gives a silent buzz. TV´s speakermode has been set to both internal speaker and external with no result and I have updated the TV´s firmware just to be sure that wasn´t the issue.
I have even tried with a cable with a jack end and an optical, since I ealier had a small set of computerspeakers connected from the jack. Still no sound.
TV: Samsung LE40C755
Anyone who knows what the probleme might be?
Kind regards, René

Hi Leogoeswild
As far as I can see, I can´t choose optical as output on my TV, but should work without too much trouble(but...). On new versions of the Samsung fleet, I can see that there are some other menues to choose from.
Hmm.. Setup my remote to the TV to the Core? Need to check up on how to do that. Would that change anything? Don´t know what the smart-stick is..
@René
Are you sure that you can not choose between PCM and bitstream (untouched sound) in the sound menu?
The output must be PCM (2 channel) for the Core to play it back.

There is a tv - and there is a BV
Hi Millemissen
It is set du PCM at the moment. I cannot change it for some reason and I don´t have the possibility to choose bitstream.

That was actually a good idea. Will see if I can find something with optical to connect. Don´t think I have optical in my Macbook though.

Found out my PS4 Pro has digital out. Connected it, changed sound setting to digital out. Result: The buzz as ealier.
From your description the optical input is not working, you've done a reasonable verification on the sources so I doubt it is that.
-Bad optical cable
-Optical input is not getting selected, not sure if it is auto sense or App based? If it is auto sense perhaps the shared analogue and optical input is not working properly.
-BS Core is defective.
Hi Dividr
I am getting to the same conclusion. It should auto-select the latest sound-input and therefore should play without problems. I can manually force the Core to play for variuos sources, including optical, but that doensn´t help in my case.
Back to the store! Thank you everybody for your help. Don´t think there can be done much more at this point. Just to hope that the Bang and Olufsen-dudes can fix it or change my Core.
Do you have an update? Is your set-up working?
I’m curious how the volume control works
BS Moment, BS Core, BG 4002, BC 4500, BS1, BL18, BL19, BL8000 + RCV1, A6, M5, M3, A1, P6 (tks Botty), H5, TR1
Did you find a Solution on this problem I have the same issue?

Thanxx, do you have a setup that works optical sound from Samsung TV to BeoSound Core?
How do you set the optical source om the core via the app. Dont see any special activation or feature that can switch

Bonjour,
Je me permets de profiter de votre connaissance du Core.
J’ai récemment acquis deux beolab 18 et un BS Core. Les deux beolab sont reliées entre elle par un câble RJ 45 Cat 6 et un câble RJ 45 Cat 7 part d’une beolab 18 vers le Core. Mon but étant de connecter le core à mon écran Samsung UHD 75, j’ai procédé à l’achat d’un câble optique partant de la Tv au Core. Ce câble ayant deux sorties optique, j’en ai donc déduit que ça ne pouvait pas fonctionner sur le Core car l’entre optique est en fait une sortie (Out). J’ai donc acheté un adaptateur mini jack pour le câble optique que j’ai branché sur Line-in/optical.
Une fois la sortie audio mise sur optique au niveau de la Tv, le son sors bien mais je n’ai pas moyen de le contrôler depuis l’application BO.
Est ce que j’ai adopté la bonne démarche ? Est ce le bon branchement ? Quelles sont les solutions ?. Pouvons nous échanger par Whats app ?
merci d’avance
