When Sonos first notified me, a couple of years ago, that they would be bricking the Sonos Dock in a future update, I immediately took my entire Sonos system offline, and re-connected it to a spare router that does not have internet access. This has allowed me to continue using the following:
- Sonos Connect Amp
- Sonos Play 5 (2 stereo paired)
- Sonos Play 3 (2 stereo paired)
- Sonos Play 1 (2 stereo paired)
- Sonos Dock (I attached my internet connected Sonos app free iPhone - to access online streaming accounts )
All of my other lossless music collection is accessible via the USB port of my spare router.
I’m still using a Sonos 4.1 controller, and as long as I’ve remained isolated from a live internet connection (via the non-connected router), I’ve had no forced update issues.
Does anyone who might be using a similar workaround know whether or not the S1 Sonos Controller for Windows still supports the Sonos dock? Or was the ‘bricking’ update already built into that version of the controller?
