If you encounter issues with your Arylic S10+, please refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

  • Ensure your amplifier or active speakers are powered on and set to the correct input source.
  • Verify the volume level on both the S10+ and your audio system is not muted or set too low.
  • If using Optical Out, ensure your DAC/receiver is correctly configured for digital input.
• Cannot Connect to Wi-Fi:
  • Ensure your Wi-Fi router is powered on and broadcasting a signal.
  • Confirm your mobile device is connected to the same Wi-Fi network you are trying to connect the S10+ to.
  • Restart the S10+ and your Wi-Fi router.
  • If possible, try a wired LAN connection to rule out Wi-Fi issues.
• Bluetooth Pairing Issues:
  • Ensure the S10+ is in Bluetooth pairing mode (refer to the 4Stream app or device LED indicators).
  • Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your mobile device and it is within range of the S10+.
