Manufacturer-documented Reviewed 2026-11-09 · Revision 1
Follow these checks in Audio Fix →When this guide applies
Exact WiiM Pro Plus. Existing verified TOSLINK connection and output route; planned comparison with acceptable source-format change. Only normal external user controls; no mains modification, chassis opening, reset or firmware installation.
Connection scope: Optical digital audio. Symptom: There is no playback sound.
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.
Checks and possible outcomes
Start at scope. Follow the link that matches what you actually observe. Alternative branches are not a single sequence of actions.
scope
Confirm the exact setup
The optical cable already runs from source Optical Out to WiiM Pro Plus Optical In, its playback output is confirmed, and you accept changing the source digital format for this check.
Look for: Choose only a detail you can confirm.
- If Yes, confirmed → Inspect the source digital-audio format
- If No → Keep the actual observation for support
- If I do not know / cannot check → Confirm the unknown detail first

Inspect the source digital-audio format
Use the source’s actual manual/menu; stop if the setting or current format is unknown.
Look for: Perform this one check and observe the actual response.
- If I completed this step → Select stereo PCM on that source
- If I cannot complete this step → Keep the actual observation for support

Select stereo PCM on that source
Use the documented compatible stereo format at a safe playback level; do not assume an Auto or DTS setting is equivalent.
Look for: Perform this one check and observe the actual response.
- If I completed this step → Select Optical In on WiiM
