Hi All. This is my second post. I haven't yet been able to feed my new Devialet 200 via Ethernet(or WiFi). I've tried searching Devialet support (useless), searching the forums here (too big a haystack), and Googling. My question is apparently too basic:
I connected the Devialet to my router with an Ethernet cable. I installed Devialet Air. When I play anything from, say, iTunes, sound still comes out of the computer--does not seem to be sent to the Ethernet router. I thought Devialet Air would make that connection? Maybe there is some switch in Windows that I need to change to route audio out to Ethernet?
The Devialet seems to connect to the router when the configuration is set to DHCP, but still no sound out of Devialet. (The Devialet app on my iPhone happened to finally connect when I did this, so I'm sure the cable is good.) Per Devialet support page, I reconfigured to "fixed address" ("not critical" per Devialet), but then the app never connects, so I think that is bad or at least incomplete advice. Since "not critical," I didn't change the default fixed address. Maybe that's, uh, critical?
I'm not really trying to use the WiFi since I read of so many glitches. But I can't get my iPhone to send to Devialet either (even when the app can see the Devialet).
I feel like I'm close but just missing some stupid piece of the puzzle everyone else understands. Can anyone point me to a thread or documentation I can work through?
I set Devialet Air to always stream automatically.
The Devialet writeup says: "Ethernet link between the Devialet and the router / WiFi-repeater: This method brings you a more robust and stable network to stream on and saves a large amount of bandwidth. The usage is identical as when using the WiFi input." Direct Ethernet link between the Devialet and your computer: This connection allows you to have a cable length up-to 100m between the Devialet and your computer without a repeater. Note that you must configure the AIR input to a fixed-address (the address is not critical).
