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.

Is there a command to switch back to the TV input on my 700 soundbar using Alexa instead of having to pull out the remote and using that?

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

@Vicky_W wrote: Hello Everyone, Thank you for posting the in Bose Community. 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?

I have the same Google mesh routers and airplay works fine without having to change any settings.

I agree. That seems like the best add-on for Bose. I have the soundbar 700, sub 700 and the wireless surrounds. Bose should develop small Atmos speakers to sit next to the soundbar.

Yes. I tried the routine and it works great. Alexa will now set the volume my soundbar 700 to 10 every night at 3am. Thank you.

Is there a way to create a routine to have Alexa set the volume of my soundbar 700 every night so it’s at a certain consistent level in the morning when I turn on the tv? As far as I can see, the only routine that can be controlled is on and off at this point but I might be wrong.

That’s a good suggestion. What I would really like to do is to just have Alexa set my 700. Soundbar’s volume to a specific level every night so that it’s consistent in the morning and doesn’t blast everyone out of bed. I’m not sure that a routine can actually do that though. When I tried to create one, all I saw that Alexa could control is power off or on.

I’m curious.... with Sonos, can you adjust the Alexa volume independently or is it tied in in with whatever the overall volume setting is and just not as loud as the Bose?

I don’t know if there can be a fix for this. Even with Amazon products, the volume setting adjusts the Alexa voice level and music at the same time. The two aren’t independent of each other. I really like the idea of being able to control my Bose 700 with Alexa and use it all the time but having it as a listening device and as a quasi-Amazon echo is a little ill-conceived ..... that is unless of course there is some kind of independent adjustment in the Bose app.

I just put Pandora as the default station and music library and I still get the same message from Alexa. I tried disabling the account and reenabling it and it still didn’t work. And if what you’re saying is correct, then the user could only ask Bose via Alexa to play the apps default station? I couldn’t say “play amazon or iHeartRadio” since they wouldn’t be Alexa’s default music service even though they’re linked to both Bose and the Alexa app? I'm thinking that this isn’t a skill that the Bose soundbars can do with Alexa yet.

I’m not sure how that would change things since the music accounts are working fine with all of my Amazon echo devices. I just did disable and unlink my Pandora account in the Alexa app and re-linked it with the same results. It did not work with the Bose 700. Is this something that’s even supported at this time with Alexa and Bose? Am I supposed to be able to say “Alexa, play pandora on Bose”? Am I supposed to have a soundtouch account I order for this to work because that is what Alexa is telling me when I say the phrase “Alexa, tell Bose to play pandora”.

Both The Pandora and Amazon skills are enabled in the Alexa app and is also authorized in the Bose Music app. They both work fine when I initiate it from the Bose music app. And I only have one Pandora and Amazon account. Also, I can ask Alexa to play either Pandora or Amazon prime on my echo devices and that works fine as well.

Yes. As I said I my initial post “ the Bose is working fine with other commands like “volume up” and “mute” which I can do from any of my Amazon echo devices throughout the house. I can also tell the soundbar to set the volume at a specific number which it does fine as well. The only problem I’m having is music services and the answer “Hmmm, to do that first enable the skill for your Bose soundbar in the Alexa app then ask me to discover devices”. Btw, if I do ask Alexa to discover devices, she says “no new devices found“ The skill I have enabled in the Alexa app is the one that is called “Bose (not for soundtouch)””. That’s the only one that will let me enable because it says I do not have a sound touch account if I try to enable any of the other skills.

Yes, there's a long white display light that slowly blinks while it is giving the response. But keep in mind, I have the soundbar mic muted because I have Amazon Echo devices all over the house and an Echo Show even closer to me than the soundbar is (and the soundbar Alexa volume is too loud which is why I muted the mic on it) . I unmuted the mic on the soundbar to see if it made a difference but I just got the same answer from the soundbar instead of from my Echo Show.

I was trying to say to Alexa “Play Pandora on Bose” or “play amazon music on Bose”. When I do, Alexa response is “Hmmm, to do that first enable the skill for your Bose soundbar in the Alexa app then ask me to discover devices”. I am clearly logged on to my Alexa account and the Bose is working fine with other commands like “volume up” and “mute”. And it says I am authorized for those services in the Bose Music app. Am I missing something here?

I am really glad that this is finally implemented but I have to say I’m disappointed that the sound bar doesn’t go back to the previous input after using airplay. For example, my usual default input for the Bose is my TV. If I send audio with airplay on my iPhone and when I stop, I still have to dig out the remote control for the Bose (which I never use) and set it back to TV.
