I'm a big fan of my Bose 700 soundbar, 700 bass and surrounds but I have to say that it's insane that Sonos can emplement this feature and Bose can't. If Bose thinks I'm going to buy a bunch of their smart speakers and put them all over the house next to all of my Echo devices, they are sorely mistaken. Just make this happen Bose. You make great products but you're behind the curve on a number of things like this and Atmos. This is coming from a fan ... come on, you have to step up your game.

This is a feature that I’m really curious about and would be very happy to see implemented. If it doesn’t show up in any future updates, it will very telling .... like that Bose wants us to buy only their satellite smart speakers and doesn’t really care about making their customers happy.

When I first got my 700 soundbar I tried it first without hooking up the rear speakers and the sub. It does are pretty convincing job of throwing the sound all over the room. It definitely gives the illusion of just more than the soundbar itself. Most better soundbars do these days. I think most people would be happy with just that but it really depends on your viewing habbits. If you watch a lot of movies on Netflix, action movies, sports, etc, I say spend the extra $300 and get the rear speakers. They really are terrific and very easy to hook up.

I have the exact same setup as you. It became obvious to me after a few hours with the Bose Alexa activated that I would have to mute the mic on the soundbar for that very reason. Untill they come up with some sort of set volume control in the Music App, the mic is useless. Alexa is just too loud coming through the soundbar, I use Alexa to mute/unmute my 700 and turn the volume up or down. That's about all it's good for at this point.

The problem is that Bose assumes that their remote will be used and replace whatever remote we have now. For me, the Bose remote is usless. I have the Xfinity X1 cable box (as I'm sure a LOT of people also have), and the Bose remote doesn't recognize it. I've tried everything to get it to work with no results. And besides, the X1 remote has voice search which works amazingly and can only be implemented with their own remote ... which is the main reason I haven't gotten a Harmony remote. We should be able to use Alexa, the Bose app to change the input. And, the soundbar should be able to go back to the default input after bluetooth streaming stops.

I used to have a ton of problems with audio video sync. The problem ended up being my six-year-old Vizio TV. Even though it had compensation adjustments, I could never get the sync to work perfectly. It was fine while using the internal TV speakers but every time I went through the TV and into my sound system there would be an obvious sync problem. I used to have to take the direct audio of my cable box and go into the sound system by bypassing the TV all together. I have a new Sony android TV and all of the problems went away. It had nothing to do with the sound bar. I’m guessing that that might be the case with you as well but who knows.

“Bunch of bugs”? What bugs other than the crackling in the right speaker?

I posted in the other thread about this issue..... Up to this point I haven’t noticed any crackling coming out of my right rear speaker so I decided to do a quick test. I tried Netflix from two different sources. First the app on my Xfinity X1 box and then from the app on my Sony android TV. I noticed no crackling when using the Xfinity Netflix app but noticed the problem with the Sony app. The only thing that was different was that my Sony TV recognizes Dolby Vision while the X one box sees the same programs in HD and Ultra HD. Maybe somebody else can run that same test if they are able. That may be the problem. (Btw, I have the 700 soundbar, 700 bass and surrounds)

I’d go for a Harmony remote in a second but I have Xinity X1 and we use the voice command that comes with it too much and there’s no other remote that I know of that can duplicate that feature.

I do not enjoy beta testing your software for free, That is actually a good idea. We really should have the option of updating ourselves. Bose is the only company with electronics that I own in which don’t have control of updates. My Apple products, my Sony tv, my Phillips Hue ... etc, etc, all have the option of auto update on or off. Lots of people like to wait a few days to see if there’s any issues first.

I’m trying to understand exactly what this function does. So am I able to add my Bose 700 sound bar to my “speaker group” in my Amazon Alexa app and be able to hear music through it when I say “Alexa, play music everywhere”? The Bose 700 does not come up in the Alexa app as an available speaker. (and yes, everything is on the same Wi-Fi group and I am able to control functions with Alexa so I know all is well with the Alexa skill). In the AV group sync in the Bose app, I have it set to “sync with group”. Maybe I misunderstanding what this thread is about.

I think the best thing would be to have an option in the app to have the sound bar go back to its default source (which I’m assuming for most of us is the TV) after using Bluetooth or airplay .... as well as just being able to have Alexa switch to the TV input.

The X1 cable isn’t in line of sight with the soundbar 700. It’s on the shelf below the tv which is on top with the 700. My new Sony tv came with IR blasters which I’m not using so perhaps I’ll try hooking them up to the 700 and see if that works. It has the mini phono jack and I’m guessing that the Bose blaster isn’t that much different. The xfinity X1 cable box is odd in that it uses both IR and RF. The IR handles the pretty much all of the functions of the box and the RF is used for voice commands with the remote. Obviously I am not going to get the Bose remote to do the voice commands but I might at least be able to make it work with everything else (like owners of Harmony remotes do). Update... I just tried using the IR emitter that came with my Sony tv. No luck. It looks basically like the same one that Bose offers and others on Amazon. I don’t really want to buy another one from Bose. I personally think that a $700 soundbar should come with one considering how inexpensive of a part it is.

I’ve been trying to figure out if the 700 remote can control my Xfinity X1 4K cable box. I tried all the codes with no luck. I’ve also tried putting in the model number as well. In both instances it says it was successful but it doesn’t control the cable box. I’m trying to figure out what exactly the IR input in the back is for. Is that for sending IR signals out? The remote is in line of sight with the cable box but the sound bar itself isn’t. I’m wondering if that is the problem or if this remote is just not compatible with the Xfinity X1 box.

How about adding a mic on/off control within the app? Seems like a simple thing and would be a nice addition.

I can now confirm that the Soundbar and Home Speaker audio adjustments are incorrectly labeled “Speaker Level” when they should say “Bass”. The slider does indeed adjust the bass level and not the speaker level in the speakers. Conversely, when a Bass Module is connected to a Soundbar, the Bass Module adjustment incorrectly says “Bass” when it should say “Speaker Level”. The slider does indeed adjust the speaker level and not the bass level. This is a glitch that only affects Android devices and it will be fixed within the next app update. The sliders do work correctly in terms of adjusting audio, only the labels are incorrect. I would like to apologize for any inconvenience that this issue may have caused and thank you all for your patience and understanding during this time. I wish you all a wonderful day. Kind Regards, Vicky W So the Apple IOS app is labeled and working properly?

@DubCity wrote: I have tested it thoroughly and understand how it works. The “bass” setting under “soundbar” turns up the bass for both the soundbar and subwoofer together. The “speaker level” under “bass module” turns up the overall volume/bass of the bass module alone. This stems from the bass module having overall weak output under adaptiq, so Bose added this setting. They should admit why this setting was added to prevent confusion, but they never will. I re-ran the adaptiq so my room is tuned properly, because now I can turn up the bass module on its own if needed. For the audiophiles, it’s essentially a new setting that allows you to increase the subwoofer gain. It gives you plenty of subwoofer headroom and is impossible for me to actually max out (perfect). Interesting. I know a lot of people have complained about weak output coming from the bass module but I have never had this problem... both before I ran Adaptiq and after. There’s been more than enough low end. So basically someone going on their own without using Adaptiq should probably just turn the bass module off, get the sound bar sounding the way they like it and then bring up the bass module level after.

Yeah, that is odd. I did a quick check when the app first updated and it seemed to be working fine. The bass setting in the soundbar section didn’t appear to change the bass module volume. It just added more bass to the soundbar.

The only difference between your setup vs mine is that I don't have the invisible speakers. I'm starting to suspect this is a UI bug. The "speaker level" should instead display "bass" on the soundbar adjustments if there are no invisible speakers. In your screenshot that's what you see for your invisible speakers. I have the 700 soundbar, 700 bass module and the invisible speakers.

So, there's no longer any way to adjust the bass level of the Soundbar itself? What about if you don't have a Bass module connected? Still no way to adjust the bass level of the Soundbar? From the looks of your photo, it doesn’t look like the app has been updated. This update gives you control of the treble and bass on the sound bar by itself and then there’s a whole other control for the volume of the bass module. They are not tied in together like they used to be. This gives more flexibility than before.

Well, before the app update, the bass was in the "Audio Settings". I assumed that when you lowered the bass, it would change the volume of my Bass Module 700. My settings were -50. Now with the new update, my settings under the bass in the "Soundbar" settings is still -50 but the "Bass Module" setting is at 0. My questions is this ... so when we turned down the bass under the old app, did it adjust the overall bass (the bass coming from the soundbar as well as the bass module) or just the Bass Module itself?

Now that the bass module has its own speaker level, how does that affect the bass settings in bass in the soundbar settings? It appeared before that changing the soundbar bass setting lowered the bass module. Now does that just affect the bass level in the soundbar itself only and do we need to rerun Adaptic to get the right balance?
