    Ive had an issue with the Android app on my phone not finding the Play:1 when you go to Settings->Update Network if youve changed router for example - it just loops round. This seems to be fixed with 14.16

    I believe that the sound tightened up quite a bit. The ARC\sub gen3 with Trueplay is very close to what is was before. In my testing I was able to lower the sub volume from 4 to 1. It can actually play at 0 and still have impact. I have 2 sub gen 3s. Dolby Atmos played on all streams with no issue and I do like the update. TBH, the subwoofers are way too boomy without Trueplay. I just think Sonos gave us a flatter frequency response from 20hz to 20khz with Trueplay engaged!

    Unfortunately, the “ enhancement performance “ doesn’t explain in detail so it’s still unknown what was  enhanced.

    One thing we can agree on is that a bit more detail in Sonos Release Notes would be welcome.  I suspect that these are relatively minor enhancements, though.

    The sort of enhancements referred to, but not specified, may be things like a coding change to make some sub-process run a bit faster. Even if they could explain it, it would mean nothing to any of us. I doubt that a significant enhancement to functionality would be buried in the catch-all expression "performance enhancements".

    I have a full “5.1.2” Arc / SL 1 pair / Sub3 (quotes, because I fail to hear the value of Atmos up firing speakers, on any sound bar; not picking on Arc) I love the system!

    I have been reading about this whole Sub controversy. My Sub3 sounds like it’s working as always. How do I tell if I’ve been effected by the 14.12 update? I’m on 14.16.

    Thanks! @Corry P

    Let your ears tell you. If it sounds ok, you’re ok.
