Make sure you have the latest firmware version installed on your base station. You can get the latest firmware version at Apple’s AirPort Express page. The Remote Speakers Output Plug-In was developed and tested using base stations with firmware version 6.3. Earlier versions may require you to restart the base station when the player is paused or stopped long enough for the plug-in to close the audio stream. Support for these earlier firmware levels cannot be added to the plug-in due to lack of a testing platform.

Make sure you have the latest firmware version installed on your base station. You can get the latest firmware version at Apple’s AirPort Express page. The Remote Speakers Output Plug-In was developed and tested using base stations with firmware versions 6.3 and 7.x. Earlier versions may require you to restart the base station when the player is paused or stopped long enough for the plug-in to close the audio stream. Only minimal support for these earlier firmware levels has been added due to the protocol differences.
