Hello!

Just bought Arc Ultra and hit a problem, probably, with a broken speaker, producing crackling sound at a certain frequencies on the right side. 

I've asked Sonos Support and they have, after a long conversation, escalated the issue higher to some technical team. It's been more than two weeks now, and I still got no response, however I have contacted support several times, they never were able to say when that technical team will contact me.

The product is quite new, I should have 30 days free return warranty - maybe I should request returning the product instead of hoping on sonos support to do a warranty case?

I have a case number, but cannot do anything to check its status. Kind of a weird situation, especially considering that the product already came defective to me.

What should I do?

The Arc Ultra was bought as a part of a TV bundle with two era 100s, they work fine. Will I be able to return just Arc alone?

Any help is appreciated,

Best regards,

Alexey.

If you bought as a Sonos bundle I’d bypass Tech Support and go to Sales Support if less than 30 days.

Unless you can identify something nearby vibrating, I’d return the unit.

Call support and request to return it.

Check your options to make sure you will get a new unit as a replacement not a refurbished one.

Thanks for your opinions. Just started the money-back process, already got the RMA and UPS postage label, so will proceed with the return. Should have done that already two weeks ago!
