Altec Lansing player won't work with Zune's new Firmware
The ZUNE player charges but it won't play. I've used it on the Altec Lansing player without a hitch every day for the past several months. After updating the firmware this morning, it will no longer play by just sitting in the dock.
I called Microsoft, they couldn't help and said I had to call Altec.
I called Altec and they said they had been receiving calls about this issue and I had to call Microsoft!
I saw this post and got worried, so I tried my upgraded Zune 30 in my Altec Lansing speaker dock. It's working all right.
But I seem to recall a pre-upgrade issue where the dock got ornery if the Zune was already playing when it was put in the dock. Try turning the Zune off or pausing it, turning the dock on, putting the Zune in, and then hitting "play" on the Zune. See if that helps.
Edit: Or did you mean that the remote control doesn't seem to communicate with the device anymore? I seem to be having some issues with getting the remote to work. I don't know if it's a weak battery issue in the remote, or if it's the firmware upgrade, since the last time I used the remote with the speaker dock was pre-upgrade.
