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?

This worked for me! I can’t guarantee it will work for anyone else. I can’t even say for sure what I just did is what fixed the issue, but it looks like I now have Trueplay enabled.

I have an Arc SL, Sub and two Era 300s for surrounds, the configuration of Trueplay death that has been bedeviling a lot of people.

Last night, I did the Trueplay tuning and did not get the toggle. As others have reported, I just ended up with the button to begin tuning again.

This morning, I

  1. Unplugged the Arc SL.
  2. Signed out of the Sonos app.
  3. Plugged in the Arc SL.
  4. Signed into the Sonos app.

When I checked the app again, I now do get the Trueplay toggle. I did not redo the tuning.

Nope, it still doesn’t work for me after this :(

Yeah, it all seems so random. Toggling Trueplay on definitely changes the sound for the better so it looks like the tuning is actually taking place but there’s a bug that keeps you from taking advantage of it..

@Corry P would it be possible to get access to the previous version the ios app, just so we can tune trueplay? Until this is fixed at least?

You can do this already. There are guides online. It's called "sideloading" if you need something to Google. If you're on an android device, you just download and install the apk file like a program on a computer, but TruePlay tuning isn't available on Android as of yet unfortunately. Ios requires this sideloading process but it can be done.

I’ve tried all of that and TruePlay still doesn’t work for me either. I have Sonos Arc, Sub Gen 3 and iPad Air 5th Generation.

 

I’m looking to buy a smart speaker, and one thing this experience has helped me with is to decide definitely not to buy a Sonos product again.

I went through all that trouble to sideload the old app (let me tell you it is really not that easy for IOS) just so I am welcomed with this (when I try to click on trueplay)

This is soo infuriating. I just want to use the friggin expensive Sonos products I paid for with the best possible experience. Why is this so hard to ask…. Someone from Sonos do something please. Such a shame that I will have to stop recommending these products because of a dumb software issue.

Finally I managed to complete the Trueplay and see the on/off button after trying so many different things.

iPhone 14 Pro, Sonos app version: 80.01.11

System: Arc, Sub and 2xEra 300

Here are the steps I followed

  1. Logged out the from the Sonos App
  2. Deleted the App from the phone
  3. Removed the power connection from the Arc, Sub and the Era 300s
  4. Installed the Sonos APP and logged in 
  5. Powered up the Arc, Sub and the Era 300s
  6. Completed the Trueplay tuning and got back the buttons

Maybe I got lucky this time, but thought I would mention it in case it helps anyone.
