Reported Issues
Issue #1 - Amazon Alexa
Discovery of Audio Zones by Amazon Alexa is currently not working properly with slave controllers in multiple-controller configurations. Audio Zones connected to a Master Controller are working properly in all installations.
If you are using a master/slave configuration with your Russound MCA-Series controller, Russound has released a firmware hotfix to address this issue: version 6.07.00 for XStream Series products and version 3.07.00 for MCA-Series products. Please go to the Russound Portal site and login with your Russound Certified Installer credentials to download these files from the Russound Certified Installer section of the Russound Portal.
Issue #2- TuneIn
There is currently an issue accessing TuneIn. TuneIn has recently made some changes that are impacting the ability of many company's streaming audio products to display and navigate menus using their service. This includes Russound. TuneIn and Russound are both working to resolve this situation as quickly as possible. As of today, this issue is only affecting certain geographical regions but we expect the issue to affect more systems in the future. If you are experiencing difficulty navigating and using TuneIn on your Russound system, please fill in the information below and you will be contacted by email as soon as we have any further information on this issue. We apologize for any inconvenience this may be causing. Please note that this issue only affects TuneIn. All other streaming audio sources are NOT affected by this and are working normally.
