After the lates update i did on my Powernode N330 the sub no longer plays unless i check the "Subwoofer" setting.

This is not what i want, since my sub is way to powerful for my speakers. I want my speakers to play all the frequencies, and use built in crossover on my sub to help the speakers.

It just sounded so much better before this. Either the sub is to loud, or to quiet now. I'm thinking, if i don't want to use my sub....I just turn it off or unplug it.

  Hi Mark. I gave everything a shot.
  But I still miss the previous update where i had the option. Tweaking all day and night, but i can't get it to sound right, or good for that matter.

  You never answered my question, and now I'm about to give up and just buy something else.

  Just give me a way do downgrade to the previous version.

  Please, I don't want to change my AMP.

  Likewise, this update has substantially devalued the Powernode for me. I had never been able to get my sub to blend in a way that sounded good using the BluOS crossover settings, until I discovered one day that disabling the sub setting did not disable the subwoofer output, allowing me to tweak it using my sub's crossover. That is, until this latest BluOS update.

  Please revert this change, or provide a setting to control it!
