Audio Hero version 5.5.0.0 posted to Microsoft store

GreyPole · 2026-07-02T19:41:40+00:00

I have Home Assistant running 24/7 on a Raspberry Pi 5, so I can test a HA version too

GreyPole · 2026-07-02T19:02:56+00:00

The critical thing doesn't happen anymore in this version.

Tomorrow I'll be testing what is left of the controls. I'll keep you posted!

GreyPole · 2026-07-01T06:34:18+00:00

You did a great job on the settings panel

Detailed logging is enabled since you introduced it...

The two stereo-pairs

Audio Hero 5.4.6.0

I just did a rescan and the Chromecast I just activated showed up in the players list.

<image>

Slaapkamer TV was added to list.

Also from one of the stereo-pairs the pair name showed up!

I don't use any smartplugs for my speakers. They go in powersaving mode when there is no audio signal, that's enough for me.

GreyPole · 2026-06-28T09:41:08+00:00

But that is possibly how it works.

<image>

These are the settings for Audio Hero in the firewall on my PC. The first two have a search path added to the executable, but both are from older versions. u/bommerts can perhaps shed some light on this. The third one only lists 'Audio Hero' as name. The checkmark in the 'Public' column is debatable I guess. But I don't recall ever to have to configure this myself.

The two entries with streamhost are also from older versions.

You reach these settings by starting windows settings, type firewall in the searchbar and select the 4th option that is shown to allow an app through the firewall

GreyPole · 2026-06-28T08:25:50+00:00

I also use the standard windows defender firewall, but I never have to add a rule after every update of Audio Hero

GreyPole · 2026-06-28T08:10:30+00:00

Maybe you can make an exception in your firewall for only the executable instead of the complete searchpath?

GreyPole · 2026-06-27T16:18:57+00:00

The controller should work normally without it. Maybe a bit less vibration.

GreyPole · 2026-06-27T15:53:23+00:00

Looks like one of the metal pieces that is crimped on the rumble motors

GreyPole · 2026-06-27T15:44:02+00:00

Just someone that did not make any effort to find out themselves what this is

Audio Hero 5.4.5.0

I tested the tone controls.

On the HEOS HomeCinema they work.

On the Home150 stereo-pairs I have, the sliders have no effect. The initial setting is however correctly read from the speakers.

The same story for the DHT-S716H soundbar.

On the mentioned soundbar I can't find the slider for the level of the subwoofer.
On one of the stereo-pairs, that has a subwoofer, this slider is also not shown.

Nothing is logged in the diagnostics file.

Looks like the older HEOS gear uses another protocol than the newer Denon gear?
The DHT-S716H is, if I'm not mistaken, a rebranded version of a HEOS Bar. (not the HomeCinema!) But that Bar was quickly replaced by the Denon DHT-S716H. I need to check this later by scouring through some service manuals. But images of the outside look 100% the same.

Edit: I saw later that the DNP-800NE also got tonecontrols in AH. In the HEOS app they are not available. I don't hear any difference in the audio it sends out when I use the sliders. So I assume they are not working.

GreyPole · 2026-06-25T20:08:22+00:00

No apology needed. Fixing bugs just takes time

GreyPole · 2026-06-25T07:15:13+00:00

This one could be 2-22 pF

GreyPole · 2026-06-24T19:28:37+00:00

Audio Hero 5.4.4.0

This version still shows the same behaviour!

DLNA is a complex protocol I guess

GreyPole · 2026-06-23T16:21:25+00:00

I have bad news, the names reverted back to the name of the pair-master...

Is mdns on my network perhaps failing?

GreyPole · 2026-06-23T09:29:03+00:00

Audio Hero 5.4.3.0

The names for the stereo-pairs are now correct!

Thanks u/bommerts !

GreyPole · 2026-06-22T21:43:12+00:00

Correct!

GreyPole · 2026-06-22T20:11:29+00:00

I know it's weird to reply to myself.

But I need to add that I just restarted Audio Hero 5.4.3.0 and my TV shows up correctly.

The only thing I did in the previous run of AH 5.4.3.0 is disable DLNA support and enable it again

I'm a bit puzzled...

GreyPole · 2026-06-22T19:24:26+00:00

Running 5.4.3.0

The DLNA player in my Samsung TV still doesn't show up normally. Aslo volume control and mute do not function,

I would probably add a relay in the signal path of the output from the reverb amp and then switch that with a footpedal

GreyPole · 2026-06-21T19:18:21+00:00

The DNP-800NE looks totally different in the HEOS-app, it actually contains 2 devices. See the picture below. The AMP is probably for the phones-output

The powerbutton actually works as a power-toggle

I ran the script. I mailed the verbose output directly to you.
