    It looks like Boom3D is only compatible with MacOS. Have you tried using Boom3D on a Mac and then using AirPlay to send the audio from the Mac to your Sonos speakers?

    Thank you for writing to us and sorry for the inconvenience caused.

     

    ​Regarding your query, Boom 3D does not work when AirPlay or FaceTime are enabled/running on your Mac as there are several technical limitations.

    Please feel free to contact us for further assistance.

     

    Regards,

    if what boom 3d told me is true

    im pretty sure the sonos support

    staff could have told me that

    and then hinted at a alternative

     

    for a actual EQ app deck so 

    its no longer walking around a room

    looking like a ******* ********

    waving a phone phone up and down

    that simply changes the bass knob

    and treble knob

     

    telling me this is

    true play

    so if u cant do it just say so

    and then allow someone that can

    for i just spent 4000 dollars

    on arc set up

    with two 5;s on

    either side

     

    only to then realize

    i dont have a EQ 

    in my 1980;s stereo

    stack

    I would not expect Sonos to create an equalizer for you in the next 24 hours.

    It has been an infrequent (maybe once a year?) request, it wouldn’t make much business sense for Sonos to dedicate the programming hours to such a use case. 

    That being said, it’s always possible that they have been working on it, and it might be in the next software release. They do not release their roadmap, so we never know what is happening in the next release until we get it (and even then maybe not, since they infrequently post release notes). Given the rather low demand for such a feature, I wouldn’t expect it any time soon.

    i would like to apologize for my rant...however i asked

    very nicely behind this forum and was in effect told i 

    was talking to big brother SONOS ...when i knew the

    customer service worker knew the answer and could

    have give it to me very simply…but refused to do so

    under big brother sonos policy

     

    resulting in infuriating lost hours chasing my own EQ tail

    low demand for such a feature….i must be

    from another generation...for i would have

    thought it was a mandatory feature for 

    any 80;s stack of audio equipement
