Why does Sonos suck so bad now

Used to be so great. Getting ready to throw this junk in the Ocean after I spent thousands on it. I just want to know why it sucks so bad now.

Does the product line used for the rear speakers determine whether it is 5.1/7.1?

It has been confirmed that when using two Sonos Ones as rear speakers with Sonos Arc, they operate as 5.1. When playing the following 7.1.4 test tone, the sound of Ls and Lrs is simulated exactly the same, which proves that the Sonos Arc + Sonos One surround pair operates as 5.1.https://music.apple.com/kr/album/sequence-pink-noise-7-1-4/1748110988?i=1748110990&lsBut I found one article : https://www.sonos.com/en-us/blog/5-1-vs-7-1-surround-soundThis article says that if you pair a Sonos Arc with a pair of Sonos Era 100s, it will work as 7.1.So my question is... if you pair Sonos Era 100 with your Sonos Arc, in a 7.1.4 test tone, can you feel the difference between Ls and Lrs?https://music.apple.com/kr/album/sequence-pink-noise-7-1-4/1748110988?i=1748110990&ls

S2 rollback

Can we have a S2 app complete rollback? At first, S2 was working for me just fine when the Upgrade happened, but then it was getting worst and worst everytime, now it works really bad, Music plays for 7 seconds or less and then skips the song and plays the 7 seconds or less and ends stopping at the third attempt… never had issues like this with the sonos apps, S1 works much better than S2, I have both, my S2 speakers are wired, so I don’t know what is going on… so, please!! Can we have the S2 complete Rollback???

Sonos App on Mac Book Air

Hi, I have new Mac Book and trying to set up Sonos. Installed the app but there is no sign of “manage” to allow me to add music folders etc., I’m new to Mac and tried searching, googling etc., but am stuck. I have read other interesting articles about how to get my folders working once I can find “manage”, at least I think I have.

Turntable Lined in to Era 100 not automatically playing with surround system even set as grouped after using tv

Hi guys I have the Beam Gen 2, Sub Mini and 2 Sonos Era 300 as my surround system. I added a turntable lined to Era 100.  Tv autoplay is set up as Ungroup on Autoplay so the Era 100 connected to the turntable will not be included when I use the tv.  Now i noticed that when I stopped using the tv and play the turntable with the Era 100 lined in, it doesn’t automatically connect again to that group (surround system+era100).  Any tips would be highly appreciated. Thanks!

Need independent control of speakers in a group

I have a group of Sonos speakers and within the last two weeks the controls on any speaker will control all the speakers in the group.  THey used to be independent of each other.  For eample, we have two reception desks in the same group. If one speakers physical controls are changed (temporarily lowered volume or muting completely for a meetingt, etc.) every speaker in the group has the same change. The possible solution I’ve seen is to give every speaker a iOS device so someone can change the settings in the Sono app.   Not very friendly for business use.  Is there any way to set the controls so each speaker's controls are independent?

sonos connect

I have a sonos connect that I have used for several years through a reciever.  I have it connected to one of the audio inputs.  Strangely it stopped playing.  I tried a reset several times by unplugging and that did nothing.  I tried a harder reset of the device and than re-added it to my system.  Great. It worked.  But only for about an hour.  Then no sound again. It sits right next to my wifi router. So it gets plenty of signal.  Because it played after the reset, I know it's not the cables.  Any suggestions?

why does the new app STILL suck

The new app has sucked for over a year. Constantly dropping during play.  Awful to navigate.   I have owned sonos for 10 years and the app is pure trash

Adding my Mac Music Library

Hello - with a recent Sonos upgrade I have lost the link to my Mac Music Library.  I have spent about 4 hours on the phone to Sonos without success and wonder whether is something that has gone wrong with the path.  If there are any Mac experts out there who could take a look at this set up and advise whether there is something wrong I’d be very grateful.

Beam - voices are deeper/off periodically

Pretty often I have to unplug my Beam gen 2 and reboot it for voices to be normal.When I turn on my LG OLED, Apple TV and Beam the voices/sounds are pretty often more bass and deep (thus distorted and not the correct voices of actors etc). If I unplug everything it usually goes back to normal. The issue has becoming more and more frequent. Any ideas?
