Vercingetorix Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 I am having trouble with my ShairBridge configuration due to lack of knowledge and access to documentation. My EA-1 appears to see the stream from my iPhone, but I don't know how to redirect it. Here is how I am configured on ShairBridge, my AVR, Room, and EA-1: When I press the Control4 button on my SR-260, my AVR switches to the HDMI port my AVR is attached to and plays outputs the sound on the Balanced1 connections from my McIntosh MCD1100, instead of the AirPlay stream. Does anyone have a suggestion properly configure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mujtaba.khokhar Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 have you tried using the digital coax audio out of the EA1 into the MCD1100? and then do your bindings that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vercingetorix Posted June 18, 2018 Author Share Posted June 18, 2018 Okay I will give this a shot. Having HDMI inputs and outputs with the AVR seem pretty straightforward to configure with the EA-1. The XLR connections from my MCD1100 going to the Balanced1 inputs of my AVR seems to be what is tripping me up, because the only way I can get sound output using the SR-260 is to use the Control4 button which switches my AVR to the HDMI interface my EA-1 is connected to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mujtaba.khokhar Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 That happens because Control4 can’t see any other audio path of what you’re trying to achieve so it uses the hdmi you need to add audio only bindings and set the amp assignments on your mcintosh hardware Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm missing something. It doesn't appear the EA-1 has a digital coax out like the EA-3 and EA-5. I see physical digital coax audio port on the EA-3 and EA-5, but not the EA-1. https://www.cepro.com/article/control4_launches_three_ea_series_controllers_with_hi-res_audio_starting_at I haven't figured out how to get ShairBridge to use the HDMI connection. I have the HDMI out on the EA-1 connected to the HDMI 5 input of my McIntosh Preamp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knowitall Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 video/audio volume bindings are backwards and really should all be the McIntosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
