I cannot use airplay connection to my Mu-so Qb (1st generation but actual firmware) with my iPad (Air 1) or iMac because I was asked for a password, but I don´t know what it is or how to set it in the settings of the Mu-so. (I use a fritzbox router with WAN mode)
Are you saying it’s the Mu-So asking for a password? AFAIK, the Mu-So will only ask for a password so it can join your wireless network (so your network password).
I’m no expert, but if you look on pages 7 and 8 of the manual (network setup) there is the option to set an AirPlay password. I wonder if one has been set on your device somehow. You could try going to the network settings page to see and perhaps modify or simply restore your Muso to factory defaults and setup as a new. Instructions are in the manual.
Airplay can be configured to use a password to allow only authorised people on a network to use it.
As PeakMan suggests you may have originally created one during setup.
I don’t have a Qb, but the password is set on the output device and would not be an iPad setting itself - though if setup of the Qb is done via the Naim app I’d imagine there’s be an option during that process.
I can’t see an option in the App currently to change it, though it may be somewhere I don’t expect it.
There are web interfaces to access some of the devices, for example on my Nova:
On a Mac these used to be accessible in Safari via the Bonjour services tab, but Apple got rid of that display preference - can’t remember if there was an option on iPad Safari.
There’s also a different webclient to control various things someone mentioned recently.
As these web interfaces are perhaps not officially described probably best to avoid them if there’s a simple solution (including a factory reset and setting up again).
I hope it’s not a compatibility issue between Airplay 1 functionality (which your iPad may have) and Airplay 2 which is in current Naim firmware.
Thanks to your help I found the solution:
With the help of the app I had the ip adress of the Mu-so. Using this adress in the browser I reached the web interface of the Mu-so. There I can set (reset?) the password for AirPlay.
Meanwhile I am not sure anymore whether an old password was set before but now I could set a new one without being asked of an old one. Maybe it is a security issue - but I am glad that I wasn’t asked for the old one.
I tried searching the online manual earlier and there was no mention of Airplay password settings - I’d prefer a proper PDF, but whatever we have ought to be up to date and need to be a bit more comprehensive.
For anyone else who experiences this, the solution is to get into the unit via IP - put in the IP address to browser bar, this will then bring up the back end access page, in this page there will be an ‘Airplay password’ section, then clear whatever is in that text box.
