Once again, instead of fixing bugs, the latest update has broken more things as I can’t even connect. What sort of QA testing is done before updates are rolled out? Cannot believe it!

80.05.07 (Android)

80.05.05 (iOS)

Release date: 7/31/2024

 

firmware version 80.1-55172


80.06.04 with date code 20240801 has ruined the Alexa interface.

The problems stinks of a terrible software development process with no regression testing.

I've experienced this in a marketing driven organization whose top management has not supported engineering and quality assurance. 

All 4 of my Sonos devices show as "disconnected" in my Android Alexa app.

I tried re-adding the Alexa voice assistant but each time Sonos trys to login to Amazon it says to try again.  It does not prompt for a password. 

Additionally, after this version was deployed it lost knowledge of my Sonos Connect.

Remove the Amazon shopping app from your device, then try re-adding Alexa voice assistant. Then once set up, re-install the Amazon shopping app. 


I tried that. Even deleted Alexa as well as Amazon shopping.  I rebooted my phone after removing the apps. No luck.

But suppose that was the solution.  Should Sonos have distributed the update in the first place? Of course not.  But without an adequate quality assurance group how could they know what the release would do?
