Martin:I have now downloaded and installed sw 3.0.0.527. According to my dealer this is an officiel release and not a Beta sw.
That's curious, as I emailed B&O Support and they told me exactly the opposite:

I emailed Support back at B&O, asking whether v3.0.x is beta software and got the following rather vague response:
"Thank you for your reply.
It could potentially be a beta firmware yes. The reasons for them having access to it could be varied from beta testing to needing a fix the firmware in question provides and accepting the potential bugs."
Wonder whether @Geoff Martin could throw any light on the situation?

We shall not forget it is a small company doing very exquisite technology. And they are danish :).

Hi,
I got the information below from my dealer regarding 3.0.0.527:
It says "no new features" below, BUT there is ONE new feature. You can switch OFF Beolab 50 with the B&O-app with this new software and still have the television ON.
Version 3.0.0.0527 Release date 19th October 2020 Released for Nordics: 19th October 2020 Released for rest of world: 26th October 2020 New features: - None Symptom: - Speakers are losing connection to each other AR19212 - Distance, Level, and Role not working AR19870 - Autocalibrate does not work AR19835
I think the big "new" thing is that the BL50 with this new software is always connected to ethernet even when they are in "deep standby". Before we have to "wake up" the speakers but now they are awake with Ethernet all the time.
I will in this weekend try to listen more to music and see IF I can hear a better sound quality than before. I have not had so much time since I did the upgrade to listen at music and compare the sound quality with the old softwarel.
Best Regards
Martin

Sorry michael. You don't control this thread.
Updated and...... disaster!
Where do we go from here? I actually don't know.
All day at the dealer with suggestions but no results.
Did I really buy into 1/2 my retired life trying to get a pair of speakers to do as they said on the tin?
They are now unplugged. I cannot listen to them, My A2 sounds better!
What is known as a Clusterf@@k!
But at least it ownly cost 26,000 pounds!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've got my 50s arriving for installation in a few weeks.
Certainly hoping that I dont have to report back with any similar or major issues.

Martin:Hi Michael, I also got the software 3.0.0.527 and have also tried other variations of the 3.0 software. My feeling is that the BASS is much less with this new software tnan the old 2.3.4.7045. What is your opinion about the Bass response? I dont feel that the sound quality is improving. I have rolled back to 2.3.4.7045 Best regards Martin Beovision Eclipse 65 with floorstand (from STB Brackets), New!

Hi Esax,
Have You experienced the same as me with much lower BASS-response with the new software 3.0.0.0527?
Have experienced other problems than the "BASS" problem?

Mikipidia:Have any of you retuned them with the mic?I lost my setting pre sw upgrade, then upgraded sw and then re tuned them and they sound bloody fantastic. Even more so than before and the punch is still there, so maybe it’s the “old” tuning file with the new sw that makes it sound extra different? Just a thought.

Directly after the sw update to 3.0.0.0527 I also noticed at least the same sound quality as with the old software. I have read somewhere that you should factoryreset the speakers after every sw update and I did that. This was an mistake.
After the factory reset all the bass respons was gone. I have tried to fiddle arround in the Bl 50 webUI and changed latency mode from Auto to Low. And with this change the nice sound quality with good bass come back again.It shoud be the opposite, low should sound worse than high latency.
B&O have done something very wrong with the new software especially with the latency setup. If I change from Low to High all bass dissapear.
With the old sw I always had Auto or High latency when listening to music. Now I have it on Low and the sound is pretty good. Very strange.
So DONT make factory reset on the speakers with this new sw because then the Bass response will dissapear in Wide beam on high/auto latency when listening to music.
Best regards
I order to get the Bass response back you can also have the speakers in Wide beam and change the latency from Auto/high to Low when listening to music. I found out that this latency change will give you back the nice total sound quality with very good bass response in wide beam.
Mikipedia is right about that only wide beam is affected but until a sw correction is coming just change the latency to low and everything works as it should when listening to a music source.
Hi Mikipedia,
I have a special preset for just music in 2.0 setup. It is this preset that I have changed latency from high to low. Then I have other preset for 5.0 setup and this preset is still at auto latency just to get syncronization between all 5 channels. The interesting thing is that when I look at something on tv and using "auto" on the latecy and wide beam then all bass is there. It is just when using audiomode on the Tv and auto/high latency combined with wide beam where the bass has dissapeared.
