New Sonos Arc update

Hi,

Today a new update was sent over to my Sonos arc bar, there is no information on what this update did to the bar.

Can anyone please explain if anything has been improved in this update?

 

Thanks

Thank you for the response but I am not talking about the update for the app. Is the actual bar that received an update 

Since the app is only a remote to the speakers system, technically it's the updates to the system that make the difference.

How did you get Multichannel PCM 5.1 from Blu-Rays?  I was able to get multichannel pcm 5.1 from a DVD but not Blu-Ray, I must be missing something.  2020 model Samsung QLED with e-arc, should I put the tv in passthrough?

You have to set your Blu-ray player to convert DTS to PCM or LPCM.

Thank you for your response.  Do you know offhand if the PS4 can do this.  I just tried it on a older PS3 and kept getting pcm 2.0

I believe the PS4 has a Linear PCM audio setting, but I’m not sure if it will convert audio from a DTS-encoded Blu-ray disc to play LPCM audio.

I believe the latest update allows you to connect two Sonos Subs to the Arc.
