When this guide applies

Exact WiiM Amp Ultra. Network music only, not incoming TV or analog transport control. Only normal external user controls; no mains modification, chassis opening, reset or firmware installation.

Connection scope: Wi-Fi / Ethernet network audio. Symptom: Buttons, touch controls or wear detection aren’t working.

This is a documented check, not a diagnosis of your equipment. The model name does not confirm the selected input, mode, software or connected partner.

If your exact model or a required setting is unknown, use the “I don’t know” branch below. Do not apply a similarly named model’s instructions.
