Severe bug after firmware update: Extreme VU meter clipping on Hi-Fi Rose RS151

Dear Hi-Fi Rose Support Team,

Following the installation of the latest firmware update on my Hi-Fi Rose RS151, I encountered a critical issue with the signal level display.

Issue Description:

  • Symptom: Even with a very low input signal, the VU meter display constantly pegs near maximum deflection (clipping). The signal meters are heavily overshooting, rendering the VU display effectively unusable.
  • Concern: I am concerned that this is not merely a visual display bug, but that the digital input signal itself might be incorrectly processed or clipped internally.

Troubleshooting performed so far:

  • Adjusting the audio settings (specifically the source input gain / volume level regulation) had no effect on the VU meter behavior.

Request:

  1. Please investigate promptly whether this is strictly a display scaling bug within the VU meter visualization or if the internal signal processing is actually distorting the audio path.
  2. If this is a known bug introduced in the latest update, please let me know when a hotfix update will be available, or provide instructions on how to roll back to the previous firmware version.

I look forward to your swift response and assistance.

Best regards,
