Ha Ha! Thanks for the heads up, I was just about to unplug my Oppo 203 in the middle of watching a movie while the rest of my system is still powered up! They better fix this "bug" in the next firmware update!!! There's that 1% again! I found a bigger bug than this in my system. When I turn it off, I actually have to turn it back on again to hear anything. Oh the humanity! Alexa! Alexa!! Mine's even worse. I unplugged my RMC-1L from the wall and now it is totally unresponsive! I can't change inputs, turn volume up or down or access the menu. No sound from the speakers at all. My Dirac stopped working too. Emotiva is closed til tomorrow so I won't be able to watch any football or movies or even listen to music. Anybody here have a fix for this. I'm desperate.

Have you tried twitching you nose and standing on your head while plugging it in and then holding the power button for 1.3 seconds no more no less.

I have had problems sequencing with other units (do not have an RMC-1) when switching sources. If the current source (cable, Oppo, whatever) gets turned off, sometimes my XMC-1 would hang, even after switching to the new source. For example, after watching a movie, I might switch to cable to catch the news, and my Harmony turns off my Oppo before the cable box comes on. Usually get picture but no sound, sometimes the opposite. But I have observed that behavior on other manufacturer's components as well. In my case, it was all on HDMI, and pretty clearly just one more issue in the eternal world of random HDMI handshaking issues. Playing with delays resolved the problem -- mostly.

Its disgraceful that Keith or Lonnie wont acknowledge this on the forum......I just tried it on mine and not only can i not hear anything , i cant set levels or change my front tops to heights! Im hoping someone will start a poll to see if everyone is having the same problem.

So why after I run Dirac on my XMC-2 does my bass seem to be lacking. I have one sub hooked up to the middle sub and one hooked up to the left. Problem is when Dirac runs it wants to run the right sub but their is no sub there so I get a signal to noise error. So I have to only say I have a middle sub. But I have to set that sub to mono as it won't let me set it to LFE with only one sub connected then after all is done I turn my left sub back on, and then set the middle sub back to LFE. But my bass seems so not there. Not deep at all. Any ideas? I do not have a minidsp. Hook up one sub to Right SW and the other to Left SW, set them up as "Dual Mono" and set center sub to "None". I don't think the Dirac filter will work once you change your speaker configuration. I believe (but I'm not sure) that if you hook one sub to Left and the other to LFE it should work, as long as it's set to mono. I'll check the manual (it helps) and post what I find. That will solve your problem. If bass seems lacking after that, apply one of the Harman curves linked in the first post to your measurement set.

Yes, I was right. Your bass sounds weak because your "Right" sub isn't working. From the XMC-2 manual:

I may have found what could be a bug. Now, let's not get wrapped around "why" I'm doing this, but focus on what is happening. Source is an Xbox One X. Playing a 4K game with HDR. Xbox sound is Dolby Atmos. If you pull the power cord of the Xbox during this time, the RMC loses audio and will not return without a complete power cycle. FW 2.1 & VRO. I'm aware that this scenario is not ideal and all that. It does seem to manifest into the audio sync issue that we are seeing from time to time. Everything slows down on the RMC and sound will not return. This is probably the same bug in the audio path code Damon mentioned to me. In the meantime stop pulling the power cord..

I agree. It was just to suggest a different way to produce said issue, and to confirm it is an issue. It wasn't so much about pulling the plug, but what happens when an AV stream is unexpectedly ended in some way. The error handling needs some work as they've noted.

From the XMC-2 manual: The problem is that Dirac "sees" the non-existent Right Sub because the Right Sub Output is ACTIVE for Dirac. The work-around is to connect "something" to the Right Sub output so Dirac can "hear" a speaker attached to that output. This is something that is broken and we are awaiting a fix.

It seems to be something with changing audio format/mode + HDMI rather than error handling. If I understood him correctly. This issue can happen just by changing formats/modes without sudden drops. But can be that a sudden drop triggers it easier. In my experience it seems to happen more often with VRO on and longer total uptimes.

Misread the OP. He clearly states his second sub is connected to the left output. Reading comprehension helps keep things straight also

I am using VRO, and Harmony remote, I always turn on everything (TV, OPPO, HTPC, Settop Box) and Emotiva at last with 5 second delay. Seldom I reboot my HTPC. And never experienced sound lost. Very, very rarely, once or twice since I install FW 2.10. Maybe I am lucky. But also headache some annoying bugs such as tick noise, it is tolerable however.

Getting my XMC-2 today and am confused on how I should setup my system before I run Dirac Live. I currently have a 7.4 system, with all 4 subwoofers in the front. What is the best setup I should use before running Dirac Live? Should I do dual mono, with 2 on the left, and 2 on the right? Or just connect everything together and run mono? What is the LFE channel for? Why would I want to reserve a subwoofer just for a LFE channel? Sorry in advance about all these questions.
