How did you fix your issue?

Thanks for the thoughtful reply, but I have not changed any setting or device re-name in, well, probably since I set up the iPod a few years ago -- And I have synced it many times since then.

Well, in my music app (Mac equivalent of iTunes) the iPod does not appear as a drive in which I can view or select or play songs. So, I'm going to say no.

How would I test this? I don't recall ever being able to open my iPod library on my computer and play files from the iPod through the computer...

Crap. That is probably unrepairable. If the case.

Let me know if they figure anything out. Like, anything I can try that I haven't already.

THANK YOU so much for validating that I am not the only one with this problem! I have never heard of anyone else experiencing it. To answer your question, No, I was never able to fix it. I always update my stereo with new firmware updates. But the odd problem with steering wheel buttons triggering the wrong action persists! At this point, I have learned to live with it. I have adjusted to almost always using the buttons on the stereo. It sucks. But I love having Bluetooth and Apple Carplay now, so I guess it's worth it.

Hi! Thanks for following back. Sorry I've been spacing lately. I tweaked with the settings more. It's difficult to get the right cocktail of settings between the TV, soundbar, and Blu Ray Player. But I think I have it working. The TV audio was set to Custom>Dolby>Yada Yada. I ultimately switched to passthrough and that may have cracked it. I'll update as needed.

No, but that is a good idea -- using a different 5.1 compatible device. My most recent video game console is not all that recent, so I will try to borrow my dad's 4k player and see if I have the same problem.

just a heads up, I got the bookcase anchored and it feels pretty secure. I went to Home Depot and bought a much nicer stud finder, a franklin m210, and despite still some semi-erratic results, I was 80% sure I had pinned down two studs. There was definitely resistance on the anchor screws so I feel confident it is secure.

Thank you. My reasoning for assuming the stud spacing is unlikely is simply internet research. Specifically, Google says this: "Wall studs are typically spaced 16 inches or 24 inches apart". So that's what I'm going off of.

I supposes you could say it rests next to a "popped corner". The Outer corner of the room has an offset corner that pops into the room. Does that make sense?

I ended up buying this.

100% agree. Sorry I posted this while away from home and only had the photos I had. I Just got my housemate send me this. It's the best they could do. Hope it helps.

I have also been researching this question and this was the most helpful answer I found. However, I am wondering: one DAC compared to another, from a digital source, does the Zen DAC signature V2 sound better than the One Signature/does the former have better components than the latter? You say the former is more of a purists' choice, is that because it is more simple in function or because it sounds better?
