How to check audio output (for wireless audio input) ?

Hi there, I know this question has already been asked, and I know how to get this info, normaly given on the “about my system” screen on the Sonos app.

And I get the information when I use my beam with my TV (as input).

But when I use it with the Sonos App or Airplay as input, there is no indication (field is blank).

I also have a Roam, for wich the “audio output” field does not exist.

So my guess is that this information is given only when using the Beam with input set to TV. Still, is there a way to get this information with the other input modes ?

Last thing I would like to know is on which parameter a music played is considered as HD by the Sonos app, in term of minimal bitrate or sample rate.

I honestly don’t know.  But my best guess is that it just looks for a lossles music format such as FLAC and labels it as HD.  I doubt it looks at bitrate at all or has any parameters. I really do think you are barking up the wrong tree here.  But as I say, I don’t know for certain how it works.

(I don’t know if it distinguishes between 16-biit ‘HD’ and 24-bit ‘Ultra HD’ and I have no inclination to investigate, I’m afraid.)
