Hi
I don’t know if my issue is related to the 14.6 update but I noticed today that I had no sound from my surround (play 3) and my sub (Gen 2), only the Arc is working They are still present in the app under the my System view but now sound which every sources
When I reboot each of them, the sound comes back temporary, but when I switch to another source or audio format, thé Sound disappears again. Tried several times, same behavior
Thanks for your help

Interesting ........ Just had to take off and put back on SVC on my Beam Gen 2. Only noticed as I use it to turn on the TV now and when I went to do that 5 mins ago, nothing happened and the light didn't do it's little flash thing when I said Hey Sonos. So I took it off and put it back on in the app and it's ok now. I have not had the issue in this thread given I have a Beam but maybe this suggests they have done something to the HT set ups as they've said?
Yep all good so far. Added tru play and everything is as it should be.

the fact that they specifically called it out gives me hope
So the release notes have dropped:
Was just playing music on my move. Just linked it to the Arc mid song.....no base. 14.10. Nope
Well, so with this uodate, if I am listening to music on the Move then link in the Arc, no sub. But if I do that I reverse, the sub is there.
No. I've been getting g sub drop outs on the Arc with video feed. Never had an issue with music. So far, it's tight with the Apple TV and the Arc. Keep our fingers crossed, but I'm not happy about this new issue. The reason I went hea y into Sonos and picked it over everythingbelsenwas their stable track record....I feel duped.
Update: just rebooted the system. Before the reboot I reproduced it three times. Not happening now. Let's just hope that's all it needed...to all those hoping this uodate is finally the fix we needed, godspeed.

Ok, so I updated my iOS app and am now updating my speakers…..fingers crossed!
Yep currently switching between inputs and and sound formats and so far so good. But let's give it a day or 6 before we fully relax.
If this actually is a fix, I wonder how long until I stop putting my ear up to a surround or putting my hand on my sub whenever I walk past and actually trust it haha
Haha, I was thinking exactly the same thing!!!

As I added a new input device and discovered that my new Panasonic 820 is so much better than my xbox at playing blurays and 4k blurays I will have to watch all my collection so if it doesn't break after that it's all good

14.10 was released (app and firmware) but no release notes yet.
Release notes on iOS say bug fixes and performance improvements.
Thats code for "we admit nothing"
Agreed. It goes in every release notes from every company for every update. The fact that there are no new features though is maybe a positive that this release is more focused on bug fixes.

don’t give me hope
So far it's stable lol
Yeah....we have all sang the "so far" anthem once too many. In all seriousness though, keep us updated. I have to wait till I get home. If you know the trigger points to initiate the drops, would you be willing to test a few out for us?
I’ve just been putting it through its paces by throwing several high bitrate files at it, Dolby Vision, TrueHD Atmos etc, as that was where I personally was noticing the most problems, certainly since the Voice Control update, and it’s holding up. I could usually trigger the issue this way beforehand. PCM and AC3/EAC3 no problems either as of yet.
Unless we hear something definitive from Sonos, the acid test of course will be over the next few days but it’s a positive start..

Downloading 14.10 also.. Here’s hoping..
Firmware 14.10 is out. Updating now. Fingers crossed...
I got an Arc with 2 Symfonisk rears 2 days ago, and I’m also having frequent issues with the rears disconnecting. I’ve had contact with the support multiple times since then, tried all of their suggestions including removing Wi-Fi devices near the Arc (including the router itself), changing Wi-Fi channels, activating SonosNet, changing the SonosNet channel and rebooting the devices.
Usually rebooting the Arc fixes the issue temporarily, sometimes it repairs itself after a while. Once it only stopped for a minute or so: I stopped the movie playback after the issue started and resumed it shortly after. I’ve been able to play some movies (2h +) & episodes without issues. Most of the time the issue seems to occur when starting a new film. Might be coincidence, though. I’ve also had the issue come and go during a single playback other times (thus far only using Wi-Fi instead of SonosNet). Playing music didn’t fix the issue for me, like others have suggested, but I haven’t tried it that often yet.
I’ve contacted the support with at least 5 diagnostics, and they always tell me it’s due to Wi-Fi interference. They’ve also told me that it’s not a common issue when this thread seems to suggest otherwise.
I’ve had a Sony 5.1 system with wireless rears & sub before, which never had any such issues. I also don’t have any other Wi-Fi issues. It seems to me, if it actually is an interference issue, that Sonos devices are way more sensitive to it than other devices.
What might also be interesting to note is that the pause & volume buttons of the rears always keep working even when the sound stops on them.
Finding this thread I feel relief that I’m not alone in this and reading that some people where able to get to talk to makes me feel more hopeful. I was already considering returning the Arc, but I’ll wait a bit more and hope for the best 🙌. It would’ve been so much more transparent & helpful if the Sonos support would’ve told me it’s a known issue.
If i had the chance to return my equipment i would 100% do it. Seeing how poor Sonos support and communications has been about this issue, i would not wait and hope for the best. I would return and buy another brand.
The only thing preventing me from selling my Arc + Sub + Ones on Facebook Marketplace is the guilt of selling a faulty system.
Sending diagnostics, changing the wifi channel, wiring, unwiring, connect, disconnect, plug unplug, none of this works, although i admire the dedication of everyone on this forum to try to find a solution by ourselves.
My advice is return if possible. If you haven’t already bought, then avoid. Never buying Sonos again, and of course telling all my friends and family about this.
Before you do plan to sell it off, please post it on Twitter or social media handles. Why should we suffer a loss here? The OEM needs to own and fix the problem. 64 days since people on this forum and few others on Facebook and Reddit are affected by this and all Sonos does is turn a deaf ear to the concerns while they are busy rolling new products.

6 days ago I tried installing the Sonos Voice Control as that seemed to help some people here. I've left it on my Arc and both rear speakers for good measure and it has worked pretty great so far. Not a single full loss of the sub or surround speakers so far.
The few only interruptions I'm getting seem to come from the mics picking up audio from the content I'm playing and interpreting it as the "hey Sonos" command, which lowers the volume for like 1-2 seconds. I've even heard the system answer "Yes?" one time, without me even saying anything. Was this behaviour normal before 14.6?
In any case, it works much better now, but hopefully there's an official fix in the works that doesn't involve the voice assistant.
