Spark Firmware 1.7 Update

The latest Spark firmware update released today includes:

• A change in the way audio levels are shown. Previous versions of Spark firmware reported audio levels on the meter using RMS levels. This version changes to use peak levels, so the meters should be more accurate to when the input is clipping.
• Additional on-screen audio controls and a cleaner user interface. You can now control the levels of the analog and embedded HDMI audio signals relative to each other, as well as muting either of those signals, directly on the Spark UI.
• Visual indicators for RemoteMix usage. A RemoteMix icon displays in the upper right corner of the screen when someone is using your Spark in RemoteMix, along with a badge displaying the number of connected users, and the light ring “breathes” gently to indicate the same.
• Additional error and troubleshooting indicators. We’ve added some badge notifications to let you know if the microSD card you’ve inserted is full or improperly formatted.
• Performance improvements.
