Firmware Release Notes

What's New

Low-Latency and Synchronized Modes for HDMI and Analog Inputs

• HDMI and analog inputs can now use synchronized or low-latency playback. Low latency is ideal for TVs and other live audio sources, and the selected mode is kept after a restart.

Simultaneous HDMI Input and Output

• HDMI input and HDMI output can now be used at the same time.

Automatic Soundbar Standby and Wake

• A connected HDMI soundbar is now put into standby when AudioMate is idle, and woken automatically when audio is routed to it.

Change Device Password

• You can now change a device's password. The current password is required to confirm the change.
