I use 2 Sonos Era 100 connected via the Sonos Line-In adaptor to my Macbook.
I use my Sonos as the primary sound output for my Macbook.
When there is no sound output from my machine for a while, and then e.g. a Calendar Reminder notification sound plays, these sounds often don’t play through my Era 100s as there must be a “wake” time which is longer than the sound plays for.
As a result I find I am often late for meetings etc as the reminder noises aren’t playing & catching my attention 😅.
I notice this also when playing a video/song through my mac after a period of no sound output, it will miss the first second or two of audio, I can deal with that, but the lack of audible meeting reminders is a frustration.
Is there any workaround for this anyone has discovered?
AI suggested to have my mac volume on max all the time to avoid the Eras going to low power mode, which I do, but that doesn’t seem to help.
I’ve contemplated writing a script to play an extremely quiet (hopefully non-annoying) sound continuously whilst my Mac is awake in the hope it keeps the Eras awake. Thats a last resort though!
