Open Issues:

• Audio issues with Dell laptops using the Intel® Smart Sound Technology (SST) driver can cause VB1 to freeze and/or crash. To resolve this, use the Windows Device Manager to disable the driver and reboot VB1.
• Bose Videobar devices with old firmware (v1.0–v1.3) cannot be added to the Device List by entering their IP addresses manually in the Bose Work Management app.
• Bose Videobar device names cannot use special characters. Acceptable characters include letters (upper and lower case), numbers, and hyphens (-).
• To set a Bose Videobar VB1 to use a wireless EAP connection and disable its wired connection, use the Bose Work Configuration app rather than the Bose Work Management app (which relies on a network connection to modify secured network settings). This will ensure all data remains in sync.
• On rare occasions, after 2 hours of inactivity and no network or USB connection, a Bose Videobar may not exit its low-power/standby mode after connecting a macOS device to its USB port. If this occurs, reboot or power-cycle the Videobar and reconnect the macOS device. To prevent the issue, use the Bose Work Configuration app or WebUI to disable low-power mode (click the Configuration tab, click System, and set the Low Power Mode switch to Disabled). An error message may appear in the Bose Work Configuration app or WebUI but will disappear after connecting to a new device.
