Known Issues 

• When disassociating online devices from Virtual devices multiple times, Optimize may not create expected logical routes
  • Workaround: add new virtual devices and Optimize
• Selecting “forget device” on a cross-subnet MXA910 on firmware version 4.1.41 may result in the device being rediscovered
  • Workaround: Close and re-open Designer or reboot device to see it as forgotten
• Mute Sync will not work between devices running version 4.2 and 4.3 Firmware
  • Workaround: Ensure to update all P300 in the system to Designer 4.3
• In a network with more than 20 devices in a room or 60 on the network, some actions will take longer due to increased network traffic
• When importing a Designer preset file into the MXA910 web application, attempts to immediately export that file out of the web application will fail if it is not first loaded and saved to the MXA910.
• When soloing a channel on MXA310, all channels will show as “gated on”
• When one or more devices in a location are locked by Dante Domain Manager or Dante Device Lock, operations that affect Dante settings may be unreliable, such as audio routing, pushing virtual to online devices, or enabling audio encryption
• Changing channel count of Virtual IMX-Room device does not reset audio settings
  • Workaround: Contact Support Center for assistance in the event occurrence
