burowyako Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 I've spent several hours trying to troubleshoot before posting this and I could use some help from one of you geniuses. To start, I can't get the driver to auto locate the amps for the life of me. I entered the MAC for each amp into the driver but couldn't ever get it to connect. I then manually assigned static IPs at the router level to each zone, but even those connections drop in Composer. I have a Control4 audio matrix in the mix (not the Triad one). How should the connections be mapped in Composer? Something like this: C4 Matrix Output --> Generic Local Driver Input Generic Local Driver Output --> VSSL Zone Input I don't have the generic driver in place right now, and I've already found that I can't listen to certain inputs from the C4 matrix. The C4 app shows that it's playing but nothing comes out of the speakers and I assume it's trying to send it over a different input. I've also found that the default audio level for a room in Composer wants to take over when a stream is sent straight to the VSSL amp. I try to bump up the volume in the Google Home app, and it'll go up a little, but I have to go into the C4 app to get it where I want it to be. I have the inputs for the VSSL set to a fixed level. Is that correct? Any help is appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have inhouse expertise on the driver and can assist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for your response. I wasn't trying to double post as I originally responded to the A.6 post and not the one for the A.6x. I figured it was appropriate to ask a question about the driver since a post was made about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
