Steps:

Update Sonos App to S1 App
In the S1 App go to settings → system → update
Update the Sonos system
Enter S1 again and go to settings → system → (option below, something with S2 App)
Download and install S2 App
Open S2 App, it states stat you need to update your system (again)
Perform system update (unplug your AMP / Active Speakers. I have my Port via COAX connected to my active speakers and it had a nasty glitchy sound during update)
This should be it!

Sonos S2 App link for iOS: https://www.sonos.com/icr2_appstore (I would follow the steps above instead of downloading the S2 App to be sure that the update goes according to the process Sonos has in mind by the way)

Is there an S2 app for Mac?

Also, I’ve updated my equipment, splitting off the S1 devices from the S2 ones. Both iPhone apps kicked off a music library reindex. The S2 has finished, but the S1 is still going quite some time after the S2 completed. Is this expected, or has something gone wrong?

Found it, on Android you need to go to System > System Tools, not System Update. There’s an option there to check compatibilty

When I do that, I only get the option to go to version 11.1, which is the version previous to the one I updated this morning. :thinking:

So I just went and downloaded the S2 from the app strore, that tool me to the 11.1 update page again, so I went with that and ran the the update.

And now it all works fine on S2.

I’m not sure why people are expecting Hi-Res audio or DD+ on the Beam today. In the case of the Beam, it’s never been promised. For Hi-Res, Sono has hinted it was coming but never said it was going to happen today. I get why people want it ASAP, but I tend to think the S1/S2 and 3 additional new products in the matter of 3 days is a quite a bit to deal with from a support perspective.

I am not suggesting it can run both. Definitely not. It wil only be visible in one of them. I just want to know if having a speaker on S2 means it can never then be used back in your S1 system.

How Sonos dealt with this in the past is not necessarily the same - I don't see switching as an upgrade/downgrade scenario - just moving a speaker that is compatible with both OS's between them.

It’s NOT possible to switch between S1 and S2 at will. You’ll have to make your mind up whether you want to migrate to S2 or not.

Completely wrong and verified by ratty. An S1/S2 compatible speaker can mover from S1 to S2 and back again.

As you have stated this as fact in many places though, maybe you will correct it to avoid confusion?

For a while, legacy devices have been unable to do a incremental update, and used to off-load the indexing to a newer device. Since it can no longer off-load, it has to do a complete scan.

See Ratty’s previous post. He was able to switch a speaker between S1 and S2 without issue.

I never knew that. Thanks for the quick response.

The time to index will depend on the CPU horsepower of the ‘Associated Product’ -- which does the actual work -- and the bandwidth of its connection to the library storage.

I’ve been told otherwise by Sonos support. We’ll see. To be accurate, I’ve been told that it is not possible to perform a downgrade from S2 to S1.
