Deezer in Sonos App doesn't show FLAC

Hello,

When I am streaming in the dedicated app from Deezer (Iphone, Mac etc), it’s shows FLAC (HIFI).

But I just integrated Deezer in my Sonos App, it does not show the quality it is streaming with. Is there any way to see, when it is playing in the highest quallity (FLAC)?

My Apple Music is showing Lossless or Dolby Atmos in the App, but Deezer nothing.

Anybody?

You’d need to ask Deezer to send a flag to the Sonos to indicate that. As you can see, it is available, as Apple Music is using it, but Deezer, who is responsible for how their content shows up in the Sonos client, is not.

From past posts it appears it should be showing. There is a possibility a recent update broke that though. 

Are you sure your Sonos is signed into your hi-res Deezer account?

I cannot send any extra information from Deezer to the Sonis App (or where can I do that?).

Yes I am signed in into my Deezer account, but what do you mean by hi-res? I just got the premium account and it is playing high-res (Flac) in dedictated app. Do you have a link from the past posts for me? I couldn’t find them.

Sadly you can't sort by date so some of the top answers are 13 years (yes years) old.
