Hi, I've tried a 1 GB stick, a 4 GB stick and a 32 GB stick. I've also tried to partition those same usb drives to smaller drives, also to no avail. I've also tried ntfs, fat and fat32 file systems, no dice. I've also tried to reduce the Allocation Unit Size to various sizes, no luck. I've also tried to format the drives on different PCs, even including one running Windows 7, also no success.
While I'm grateful that others succeeded at their fourth or fifth attempt, I've tried close to a hundred times. I've unplugged and plugged in my power cables multiple times to hope this time would be the time it would work, but it is always failure.
I've tried the 5.7.5 firmware and the 5.8.0 firmware too.
I've also changed my Fives twice for replacements, over the past 2 months, due to other issues, and all three sets of Fives won't accept the firmware update.
I've contacted klipsch usa support, which referred me to my local klipsch dealer. I then contacted my local klipsch dealer, and they themselves are waiting for klipsch usa to mail a usb drive over. So this has been a frustrating experience to say the least.
It shouldn't be so hard to get a firmware update done correctly.
I agree, it shouldn't be so hard and I understand your frustration. In 2021 tech should be much easier.
For me it never worked unless I tried an old 4GB USB 2.0 drive formatted in FAT32. It failed every single time with USB 3.0-3.1 devices, no matter the partition configuration.
I put the extracted files in its main directory without folders or other files, then I unplugged the power cord, plugged in the pendrive and lastly the power cord: with there exact steps it managed to work all the recent times and with the newest update (which has more than 3 files).
I hope you'll end up solving your problems with the Klipsch's USB Drive they are providing!
