I have the sonos outdoor speakers but it’s not being detected by the Sonos Amp. Any suggestions on what to do? I purposely bought these speakers because of that feature.

Hi ​@lsudaddy 

Thanks for your post!

Earlier replies are correct in stating that the Outdoor Sonance speakers do not support TruePlay functionality.

that makes no sense because the page clearly says “Optimize Speakers

When selected in the Sonos app, Optimize Sonos Speakers allows Amp to recognize Sonos Architectural speakers then applies custom tuning and DSP to provide more robust sound with a more even frequency response, optimizing system performance and ensuring stable operation.”

All Sonance Architectural speakers support Optimise Sonos Speakers, but that does not refer to TruePlay Tuning specifically, though when OSS is applied to In-Ceiling or In-Wall speakers, TruePlay Tuning is included in this.

Outdoors speakers cannot be corrected for spatial differences in the room as there is no room to adjust for.

I hope this helps.

 

Edit: Optimize Sonos Speakers has been renamed to Detect Architectural Speakers.

Sounds like running the config every now and then and checking release notes will be worth it. I mean assuming they fix it eventually.

Hey… there seems to be a firmware update now fixing that issue.
