Given some of these comments, one would think Sonos changed the sound for a large number of devices every other update, rather than for a relatively small group using a particular set up once in 10 years.

This terror of updates is getting ridiculous.

LOL. Somebody had to say it...

Subjectively there is significant boost for bass after updating to 14.20 (Arc+Sub+2xOne)

14.18 was a phenomenal update .After the 14.19.1 update I did notice the decrease in the arc volume. With the new 14.20 and retuning Trueplay, I’m experiencing a bass boost and the Arc volume has improved. Im also noticing that the Arc height adjustment is working a lot better for Atmos audio (could be in my head). In the past I experienced a lack of volume from the upward firing or a lack of surround with the upward firing . This update is good stuff. These days, I recommend turning off automatic updates and awaiting a breakdown of the update from Youtube’s Peter Pee before updating.

Prior to 14.19.1 I was always able to update without any problems. However with 14.19.1 and now 14.20 the update tends to fail for some devices and I have to run it again.😡

That said, so far 14.20 sounds great and bass does appear to be better on the Arc and even on my Play5’s! 😀

If not done already, maybe try reserving your Sonos IP addresses in your routers DHCP reservation table as it might be the multi-device reboot process, post-update, sending your router server in a spin with address allocation. Doing that can often improve things during such updates, particularly if you have a lot of Sonos devices. HTH.

Its at least worth a try and nothing to lose by setting their addresses static on the local network.

Thanks Ken. All our Sonos devices have a DHCP reservation and run off a Boost.

If the matter persists during updates, then perhaps mention it here again next time, as there are several other things I can think to try, not least setting different channels (App & router) and reducing channel-widths too, perhaps🤔?
