I am currently experiencing a significant delay using the Line-in in a Beosound 2 with Google Assistant. After doing some research I learned that the delay needs to be disabled under "Configure" in the B&O app, as it says so here: https://support.bang-olufsen.com/hc/en-us/articles/360041419912-How-do-I-make-settings-for-Line-in-sources-in-the-Bang-Olufsen-app-

I do, however, not have the two bottom options. I can only configure the top option. Apparently this is a result of having the Google Assistant version. I contacted B&O support, who told me this. He also said that I should disable delay in the Google Home app - an option called something along the lines of "Disable optical delay".

Again, I do not see this option in the Google Home App, and B&O support told med that this issue would be escalated to HQ in order to find a solution.

Does anyone see any solution to my problem? I use the speaker as a amp for my guitar, so I cannot just delay the picture as if I was connecting the speaker to a TV.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Nicklas,

Reading your post I was unsure whether you have a multi room system.

The ‘delay’ option is only for a multi room setup, eg when you have say a BS2 in one room and say an A9 or whatever in another room. When you ‘tap to join’ or ‘join the experience’ in another room, sometimes there can be a delay on the network and that fixes that. The option here is for when there is a line in and you use multi room you can correct that.

My guess as it’s greyed out, you don’t have a multi room delay.

As you’re trying to use your guitar with it, is that the same as when you try and use a turntable with one, that you need an RIAA as well? Maybe I’m wrong, it’s just a thought to try and help.

See what B&O support write back with and hope all goes well
