Device Firmware 

An I/O that is using outdated or incompatible firmware will not work properly in a SoundGrid network until its firmware is 
updated. The color of the 

FW

 button in a device slot indicates the current firmware status. 

 

If a device requires updated firmware, click on the FW button to start a hardware scan. Do not disconnect the device 
or turn off the computer before 

Done

 appears. Once the update is ready, turn the device off and on to reset. 

Identify a Device on the SoundGrid Network 

Click on the

 button to activate a hard-to-miss LED on the front panel 

of the corresponding hardware device. You can also activate the front
