Question

Trueplay tuning is not working in new sonos app

I am having Arc, sub3 and 2 era300. While doing the true play tuning with new Sonos app on iPhone 13 with latest iOS, in the final step app stuck there for more than 30mins. I have to close the app manually resulting in no Trueplay tuning. Tried at least 7-8 times still the issue there.

Same issue here. The new app is awful and this is clearly a bug that should never have happened with such a costly system. If you call support they will tell you to reboot your phone which does not work.  Hopefully the geniuses who screwed up the new app will provide a fix in an update. Very disappointing.

Here’s an update. Sonos will tell you after you wait on hold until you qualify for Medicare to reboot your phone. Instead do this. Change the source from TV to a music app like Spotify and play a song. Then open the tuning and it will take you to the Continue screen where the phone (iOS) is rotated and it should work and complete the entire tuning process. Amazing they don’t know this but it should work for you. Hope it helps.

Switching from TV source to a music source enabled Trueplay to work effectively.

Unfortunately that workaround didn’t work for me. Even after factory resetting my entire system, it still freezes after completing the final tuning step.

Seriously Sonos!? Over a week since the update and no fix for Trueplay? Not even acknowledging that a fix is in the works? Look like it’s eBay for my system and returning to component audio and amps for my home.

Thanks for this. It was driving me mad as ‘continue’ button was not working. Played a song on Spotify and then was able to to tune all my speakers using Trueplay. That said, so many bugs in the new app!!

This worked perfectly for me. However, as owners, we shouldn’t have to look around for “Tricks” to make our expensive systems operate correctly.

Purchased the Arc and mini sub today- set it up. Can’t connect with the Truplay Tuning. I did all of the trouble shooting, music apps, different phones. Nothing has worked.

I tried the “fix” (play music for 10 secs etc) but I play, pause and then try trueplay and no cigar.

I’m not sure if I’m doing it correctly. Could anyone give a step by detailed step for this Idiots guide 🙏

Same issue with my system.  App stops before finishing Trueplay.  Using Arc, Sub and 2 era300.  None of the workarounds seem to work for my system.
