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
It is absolutely ridiculous that this has gone on as long as it has with no public acknowledgment from Sonos. How much longer is this gonna persist? A week? A month? A year? So disappointing.
I think the lack of acknowledgement is really worrying. It a customer service thing at the heart of it as well. Are we all just going mad and the problem is really do do with out own setup?!?
Seems to be a growing issue in the web as well - but some reports are saying its going to get fixed.

We’re gonna have to go to the press to raise awareness of this issue and the lack of acknowledgement and customer support. They are trying to launch several new products right now, we should make sure potential customers are aware of what they are getting in to.
I have 2 arc systems but have only experienced this issue on the one in the living room which is really curious
Interesting,
I have 2 systems, an Arc and a Beam; The Beam doesn’t have any issues I’ve noticed (although I use it less and in the bedroom). Both are 5.1, although the Arc has 2 subs. The Arc has the issue and also runs SonosNet to everything else, including the Beam 5.1

Interesting,
System 1 Does experience the issue:
Sony A9G OLED
Apple TV used exclusively for all content
Arc + 2 subs (gen 2 and gen 3) + 2 Play:1’s
System 2 Does not experience the issue:
LG CX OLED
PS5
Xbox Series X
Nintendo Switch
Occasional use of native TV apps
Arc + gen 2 sub + 2 Play:1s
Don't know if this helps anyone else but I had this issue a week or so ago I didn't power cycle the arc at first but removed and readded the sub and surrounds this worked but read this thread and power cycled the arc
The fault reoccured when I did this I then just removed and readded just the sub and the surrounds returned without any problems.
It was done before the latest update and I have had no further occurance since doing this
I use apple tv, pc and xbox and watch mainly content bought from apple and prime on the apple tv
May work for others may not just thought I would share it
This is really, really odd.
Before I start, I know this is very not likely ‘the fix’ but it is a change in behaviour I want to report.
My cut rears/sub ‘disconnects’ have been pretty consistent an easy to replicate. i.e. I can reboot the Arc and all speakers, watch a Disney film and then move to Netflix and bingo, the rears and sub sound stops or has some delay/crackling issue.
I followed
I am fully expecting this to come back- but the above seems to have had an impact. How long it will last is anyones guess.
Perhaps someone else who has the problem consistently can try the remove and re-add procedure to see if more stability to the sound is returned? (For reference, I am on 14.6.1).

If doing this, do you need to redo TruPlay?
Yes, you do need to redo trueplay.
However, the issue has come back after I performed TruPlay! So the issue has occurred again. :-(
I am now going to do the same procedure and NOT tune using TruPlay to see if that is part of the puzzle.

May I ask what you did exactly? Was it just removing and adding the sub?
is it possible the issue has something to do with true play? Hmmm

I don't know, but I am going to try and find out! Speakers removed and added again, all sound is back. Now I am going to play around for several hours to see if the sounds is more stable.
Yes both times
I’m going to turn off trueplay for awhile and see how it goes
Yes both times
Nuts! So that has blown that theory out of the window! I will still continue to the breaking point anyway. Will report back.
I also had the issue with my pair of 5’s + sub did the same fix and they are working ok now as well
Sonos app says there’s an update for my system. Fingers crossed this fixes it!
Edit: now on build 68228280. Can’t remember if this is different though.
Edit 2: Now on 14.6.2

If its 14.6.1, then the problem still seems to persist for me. (Currently testing without TruPlay).
14.6.2 now for me.
Well it’s not true play. Immediately got the issue to happen. New diagnostic: 1767175008
14.6.2 now for me.
This was released yesterday. Doesn’t fix it
Apple music, dolby atmos,dolby 5.1 YouTube stereo pcm back to atmos and 5.1
No problem occured doing this

Darn it, Sonos!

This is madness, So far (after removing and re-adding subs/surrounds and NOT performing TruPlay) I cannot get the system sound to fail. I have gone through the same routine and all sources are producing surround sound. Obviously, I need to play with the system into the night and report back and send (yet) another diagnostic to Sonos.
This is really, really baffling.

Yep - will try this to break during latest testing approach.
I’m tired of testing Sonos’ products for them. Just going to leave it on my workaround of eArc off on my tv and change format DD5.1 on Apple TV. I never experience the issue with these settings
