🗣️ Hi Everyone 🔊

This morning, we deployed an update for iOS and Android as well as a small patch to our firmware (Player). See below for a run down of what's changed. If you'd like a look at what has changed over the last few months, check out our App Release Notes here, as well as our System (Player) Release Notes here.

As with most updates, this will be a Phased Rollout, which means that you may (or may not) get the update pushed to your system. Some iOS users have sidestepped this in the past, by going directly to the App Store. If you still do not see the update, try refreshing the App Store by pulling down (as if you were refreshing a page) on the Account page that shows all your pending app updates.

 

In the App update:


Android & iOS - 80.27.6
 

  • Fast Scroll in Queue for iOS
    • You can now fast scroll in the queue, and opening the queue will jump to the track that is currently playing.
  • Group Volume sync with haptic feedback.
    • Want to have all your rooms at the same volume level? Move the group volume all the way to the left, wait for a small buzz, now all your rooms will follow the group volume.

 

Once you have updated the app, you will be required to update the system (Players).

 

In the Player update:

 

Firmware - 90.0-68140 

 

  • Fix for unexpected increase in bass output
  • Fix for Trueplay tuning failing on Arc Ultra with Sub or surrounds.

 

As always please do not hesitate to share your feedback (about the new Group Volume sync, or anything really), myself and the team genuinely appreciate it! 🙏🏽

 

​@JonnySpeed 

I’m very happy and satisfied with the new App. Each update brings more great performance. I’d say it’s comparable to the stability of the old version prior to May 24 and exceeds in some areas. My contention is that the majority of performance issues are network related barring hardware failure and/or 3rd party server issues. That said bugs will always crop up from time to time for reasons too many to name. 

Seems the pausing issues has reappeared, as having a track looped for hours before this update was no problem, now suddenly it stopping after a hour or so. I was optimistic that updating the system wasn’t going to be an issue, as the last few have been problem free. Suddenly it’s back to the random stopping issue. 


update, Seems it’s NOT Sonos which is causing the stoppage, it’s my iPhone. As it seems to have affected other apps on the phone. If I use the program installed on my PC, it’s plays forever. No stopping, nothing. Seems Apple has a bug in their software as it not only affects Sonos, but Podcast apps also. After about an hour anything playing stops. It happened to me driving, after an hour the program just stopped playing, nothing would restart it, rebooted the phone and it’s back to normal, 

​Thank you for that very detailed list with your network recommendations.

I’m sorry for all of the work that you put into that, but my network is solid.

 

It rarely turns out to be a local networking issue as one would normally think of one. It is usually the local network is doing, or not doing, something the "Sonos Way" and causing issues.

Most frustrating, but any Sonos compatibility issue must be found and dealt with to get a stable Sonos setup even if everything else you have works perfectly on the network. I fought that attitude for many months and many hours of troubleshooting. Surrendered and followed a suggestion from here and 20 minutes later my system was stable and not exhibiting any of the issues that made using it so frustrating.

Yes Sonos should deal with that or at least do a lot better job of providing, and making it easy to find the documents needed to sort things  out.

Is the display of the current song in the queue ios only? Because it’s not working for me on Android.

If I understand your question, I think you are referring to the Now Playing window. I have two IOS devices and both display the album artwork for the song currently playing (provided the artwork is available, or it will display the double eighth notes), but I don’t know if the Android app does this. So someone using an Android device would have to add to this reply.

To follow up on ​@John Guarr response; if I too understand your question the answer is yes for Android as well.

It’s iOS only for the moment. Still to be implemented for Android.

  • Fast Scroll in Queue for iOS
    • You can now fast scroll in the queue, and opening the queue will jump to the track that is currently playing.

Thanks ​@Mr. T I guess I’ll have to keep waiting.

New IOS app update this morning. I looked for a Save feature but still none. No release notes posted. Don’t know what it addressed. 

Example, my system hasn't gotten the group count numbers activated yet. Picked up app and system updates since the one that included the numbers but still no numbers.

Looks like my issue was that the numbers won't appear unless you let your Sonos controller device access optimizely.com. Allowed that, restarted the app and after looking at a few Rooms (that showed the number) the numbers appeared on the main page too.

See:

I guess this has to do with Pi users? I’d never heard of Optimzely.com until now. Nor have I experienced the issue with iOS or Android🤷

It applies to any local DNS filter or local network ad blocker, to include customized DNS servers upstream of your network.

Now that you mention it..I believe I vaguely remember giving an app permission for Optimzely.com. However, that was ages ago. Never had to do so manually with Sonos to the best of my memory. But then again, my memory takes a trip more often these days and loses the road map to get home.😅

Still no Save button in the IOS app. Added a song to one of my playlists and had to remember to go upstairs and wake up my PC and use the Windows Controller. This isn’t right
