I unplugged/plugged the unit from power so it would reboot, and when it rebooted the female voice you hear when booting started talking but got stuck and kept sounding like a noise loop #SOUNDMATE WM201 MANUAL ANDROID# I switched power again and the initial chime sound ("piiing piiing ping piiiing") plays but nothing else happens. The power led is on but the wifi led is off. I don't see the unit's own wifi SSID, nor is connecting to my wifi router (I checked the router, there's no wifi association or DHCP lease for the Soundmate) I've tried to do a manual firmware update from my PC (Windows 10) and no driver installation window pops up when I connect the device to the PC while pushing the reset button with a paperclip wire (although the power led turns on). And no new device found appears on Device Manager. I have tried with several USB cables (the one from my Kindle ebook, the one from my mobile phone.) with no success. ![]() ![]() I've bought the unit from an international overseas dealer, so returning it for replacement would be slow and cumbersome (and probably expensive.Thanks for these very usefull informations. at this price ! It is cheaper than a raspberry or arduino ! I'm a little surprised that this incredible device has not a bigger success with hackers !Ī linux box, with jack, Toslink, wifi ,USB. It makes incredible price for a squeezebox audio system with all his advantages (Multiroom, a lot of remote software, web radios, and many more functionalities, see my article about Squeezebox) This is very interesting since you can use UPNP or airplay devices like a squeezebox. You can also use it with stream what your hear to send Windows sounds to your M1. No problem with audio files but if you stream a video you will have a delay that can be corrected with good player like VLC or Kodi. Best price on the market to get upnp / airplay device (22-30$ for M1, 39$ for M2). There a lot of different brand with the same hardware (soundmate M1 or M2, ICY-box IB-MP401, Flylink airmusic, Andoer, Elegiant, Goliton.). Airmusic or soundmate M1 are good terms to find what you want on ebay or aliexpress. Wifi is probably not really good on M1, M2 has an antenna Based on OpenWRT and firmware sources are available to download. the new SoundMate WM201 is not open source anymore. ![]() With the right firmware it is possible to use USB for USB key with mp3. With optical Toslink S/PDIF output, analog chip is probably bypassed which is a good thingįirmware for NW11, Airmusic 2 and how to upgrade firmware. Main page of the raidsonic / ICY-box IB-MP401Air (similar M2) This russian article is probably the most interesting article on the M2. Sonoe Ieast A lot of additional features, dedicated phones apps. The box is similar to Soundmate M2 but the firmware probably very differente.Ġ- May be someone can include SqueezeLite to transform it into Squeezebox too? Squeezelite openWRT package here. Take a look to the topic from this guy who include Squeezelite in OpenWRT on different devices.ġ- Do you think possible to use USB port with a bluetooth dongle and create a custom firmware to make the ultimate streamer ?Ģ- Finaly what is the best firmware for M1 ? And for M2 ?ģ- Can I use raidsonic / ICY-box IB-MP401 firmware on my Soundmate M2 ?Ĥ- M2 firmware is not compatible with M1 ?ĥ- Is there some custom updated firmware available ? The user X98 and SebastianFM seem to be able to make it.Ħ- Who test to add an antenna on the M1 ? May be we can see the signal force with SSH command or directly on your router ?ħ- This is probably more an electronic question : do you have an idea to simulate a push button when a media is streamed to the NW11 ? I would like to swith on my old JBL station or my pioneer VSX AMP. ![]() With an ESP8266 if I arrive to execute an URL on the NW11 when something is streamed it could be possible to make it. I don't know why this device is not popular with other hackers but I can tell you why it is not popular with me. When I want to stream music, I don't want a headless client. I want a client with a display and keys that can be used to select the music I want to stream from my OpenWrt minidlna server.
