when you are FORCED to do these updates

As you can see…true play option is greyed out because I don’t want to do these updates and happy with the sound as it is.…spend a fortune on these speakers and you’re at their beg and call to do these ridiculous generic non descriptive updates. If you don’t you get penalized ….i have to agree with others that Sonos is starting to suck….

I agree; these are just speakers at the end of the day. But once you set up your phone to not auto update all apps, why do you feel forced?

Opt out of Auto-update. Then there’s no “forcing”.

Updates improve the way your system performs and the way it sounds. For example… the Height Audio and Spatial Audio features on your screenshot wouldn’t exist without updates. My system sounds much better today than it ever has because of these updates.

Thank you for the replies..however , as you can ..I do not have auto updates on and haven’t for some time. Nor do I have the Sonos app set to update. So yes,  I still say to keep the available options that Sonos  offers..you have to update the system.

Unless you are using Sonos for TV audio, a thing I do not know/care to know about, I don’t see that you are losing anything useful by getting off the update bandwagon. And once you do, you can’t get such messages in a way that forces you to comply. Or lose existing features by staying off that wagon.

If I’m satisfied with the current sound from the speakers.. why change it? I watch movies , tv sound) and listen to music from SoundCloud through the Sonos app. The updates always , never failing, say performance enhancement but doesn’t ever say what it is. How much enhancement can you make every month? I’m not talking bug fixes. Why take away trueplay if I don’t update??? Maybe Corey P with Sonos can explain this.

You need to turn off iOS App updates for the App Store, not the Sonos background app refresh.

Trueplay not greyed out, and an update is available.

Indeed; I am on 11.12 under S1 and haven’t lost true play!

What you are seeing may happen if your app on the phone has updated, but Sonos units have not.

@Dogdad 

Have your Trueplay settings been turned off, or is it that you can’t run a fresh Trueplay?
