I tried to TruePlay Arc / Sub / Ones but the tuning is simply stuck on “Continue” step.

I’ve updated to the latest version 80.00.04. 
 

@Corry P do u guys are aware of this?

I think Sonos only "appeared" to solve the Trueplay problem with today's app update. It looks like the tuning goes all the way through, but it doesn't actually apply it. Clever little "cheat"..

I don't understand why they can't come up with a real solution.

Seriously, I haven't been able to check mine but you're actually saying the update will not apply the acoustic after it seems to attenuate the room! These people need a class action lawsuit!  I'm sure there's an attorney somewhere who can find a legal grievance with this company!

If Trueplay works "properly", I could turn it off/on the Trueplay on the tuned device and have retune option.. But this options is not available in Arc/Sub/Era 300 set so there is a high probability that the system will not apply it…. as it can be seen in the pictures….

I see.  Thanks for the clarification, Benezo.

those freaking $&:&(@- .  That is unbelievable how they can cheat their way around this.  I think I have had enough of this bull.  I am selling all my Sonos products - Arc, two era300, two ones, 2 sub gen 3, playbar, beam, and Sub mini.  So freaking angry

I just set my system up yesterday. Arc, mini sub, Era 300. It appears this problem has been going on for 13 days? With no help yet from support? I want to make sure I understand correctly before I take it apart and return it. Thanks.

Sonos, you need to act professionally and quickly on this cock up. Make a statement at least and communicate properly to the people who have spent many thousands or their hard earned money.

Not looking good on a much vaunted and an important part of your Apple type image.

Confirmed.. trueplay still not working after today’s update. As a test, I literally covered the phone mic during the second calibration test tones and it still completed “successfully”. No toggle appeared to enable /disable trueplay. Tested some audio tracks and it was like trueplay wasn’t even performed.. good cheat though… I initially thought that it was fixed.

Hi,

I installed a lot of audio-video systems / Sonos, wired 5.1-7.1 systems, Samsung, Yamaha, Sony, etc. / because this is my job. In my opinion, Sonos is not a bad product in its price category. Of course, there are much better products / Bang&Olufsen 5.1-7.1 system, Yamaha amp. etc / but you need wires, ceiling speakers, etc. A lot of work, dirt, money / the price of a "wired" system with similar knowledge is much higher than the price of Sonos /. Sonos is a good alternative, but it will never be better than a "wired" system with an amplifier. I don't hear much "difference" between the Trueplay tuned and non-tuned Sonos system, but I didn't go "too deep" into the analysis of the software or what Trueplay changes the "sound". My problem with the current situation is that if a company promises something and sells the product in such a way that your system is "capable" of it, then it should work. But now "it looks like that" doesn't work and you don't get any information or "sorry, we're working on it". And it's Sonos' responsibility to fix it. Regardless, I think it's a good system.

If you can return and get a full refund, I would.   Get something that works and is not dependent on a company that releases hell on customers and makes their equipment useless.  I would not wait to see if they fix it and miss your return window.

This isn't the first time Sonos has SHOT themselves in the foot this way, and this one is major! Imagine getting your system ready to turn for your first Atmos movie and the system lays a big fast goose egg. You will spend countless hours thinking you are making the mistake only to find out that it has nothing to do with you and THERE'S NO ACTUAL SOLUTION TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND YOU CAN'T RETURN THE THOUSANDS YOU JUST SPENT! 

 

AND IT COMPLETELY CRACKS ME UP THAT THE SONOS ACE IS ON MY SPLASH SCREEN ON THE NEW APP! WAIT WHAT! THE SONOS ECOSYSTEM AND SOFTWARE SUPPORT AND ENGINEERING TEAM  IS A VERY CHAOTIC GROUP OF PEOPLE..

Thank you, “Pissed”. I just returned from Best Buy with a Bose Smart Ultra sound bar and a subwoofer. This system does not give me the ability to add wireless speakers and it probably will not deliver the same sound quality. But it cost less and is already working. I told every staff member in the audio at Best Buy the problem everyone has experienced for the last few weeks, at least as a heads up. I know Sonos will fix this soon for the rest of you, but I’m old and time is not on my side to wait for them. Great suggestions and input from everyone!
