Hi ​@Corry P ,

Just to confirm, is this sonos system update/post you stickied the article you have been working on to get approved and posted? Or should we still expect more to come?

Hi ​@stevetsanders 

It is not what I prepared, no. I am not convinced that what I wrote will ever be posted, to be honest with you. Progress on approval for it seems to have halted, at least for the moment.

There has been a change to some of the messaging available, some of which was used in one of my replies on that thread (the talk about the inner drivers on Era 300s), so I will see what I can do about getting all that together in a post - as it has already been approved for pubic release, I won’t need to seek approval.

I’ve just installed the update and I have to say there’s a small improvement in the surround effect. I did not properly test it with test tones, but I watched some TV content with Atmos and DD5.1. The rears (Era 100’s) are slightly better separated from the Ultra now, giving the sound a bit more direction.

Still I’m not impressed by the surround effects coming from a 1400 Euro setup, but it improved. So I can finally say something positive on this topic.

You didnt miss out much, surround sounds still coming of the Arc when its not supposed to.
Its just Phyiscal Rears speakers can be increased seperately to overpower them.
