Sonos Move in White...Hmmm?

Hello I've seen questions asking when will Sonos market the Move in White. If I were you I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for that to happen 🤔. Besides, Sonos doesn't reveal future product updates/revisions until just before they launch. I doubt we’ll ever see a Move in White. Here’s why...

Beam and LG Sync Possible Fix

So I have an LG 4K TV (non OLED) and have the awful lip sync issue so many people seem to have.    Putting sync on in the TV sound menu and then using the bypass setting helps a little, when Sonos has the sync delay set to +5, but it's still a problem.  Setting the TV to output to PCM also fixes the...

Airplay and sorround simultaneously no-no?
Answered

I just replaced my two Play:1s that I was using for sorround with my playbar, with two Ones Gen 2 because I missed. I tried different things, but I was only able to do either airplay as a group or sorround. Googling a bit told me that it’s either sorround or airplay. Can this really be true?
