Soro app allows you to easily enable or disable the rear speakers

Seven months after purchasing a Sonos ARC and two Symphonisk rear speakers, I was very annoyed by the impossibility of easily activating or deactivating the rear speakers as needed.

We're not going to lie to each other, but :

  • Touch the gear icon
  • Go to System
  • Choose Sonos Arc group
  • Then Audio Surround
  • Toggle On or Off Surrounds option

is not really what i call ergonomic.

But with the iOS Soro application, what was very painful on a daily use, now becomes super simple.

Thanks to the integration of these functions in iOs Shortcuts app, I can finally activate or deactivate my rear speakers with a simple tap when watching a movie or listening music .

I just think it’s a shame that it is an external developer who offers this solution when Sonos should have already allowed it.

So you’re unable to go into the settings, and turn off the surrounds in this use case?

Read the first post, please. 
And imagine doing that 5 or 6 time per day ;)

Must admit that getting to sound settings for a room is a button press bonanza.  A lot easier on the Windows app.  I’d like to see an Eq icon on the now playing screen under the Artist and song title?
