App freezes or update fails when updating EW-DX firmware
Likely cause: Parallel EW-DX updates overwhelmed the update handler; sequential updates plus the 4.8.2 fix avoid the freeze.

EW-DX receivers not detected by WSM
Likely cause: WSM and Control Cockpit both bind the device-discovery service; only one can own it, so a running Cockpit hides EW-DX from WSM.

Likely cause: These are the exact third-party formats WSM lists as supported for scan import, letting you coordinate without a Sennheiser-only scan.
