New Update!
The Sonos update from 06/08/2024 brings new features and improvements for both Android and iOS users. One of the most important new features is the introduction of ‘TV Audio Swap’ for Sonos Ace, which is now available for Arc, Beam (Gen 1 and 2) and Ray on Android and iOS. In addition, a downgrade tool has been added that allows you to switch from S2 to S1.
iOS users benefit from several improvements: The group volume controls have been optimised and now run more smoothly with reduced latency. There are also new mute buttons for individual products within the group volume controls, and these controls can now be accessed directly from the ‘Now Playing’ screen. Other enhancements include the ability to clear the queue and improved performance for large queues. The reliability of the language enhancement and night mode settings has also been optimised.
For Android users, the option to ‘forget’ the system has been added. In addition, the reliability when starting the playback of playlists has been improved. The update requires Android 8.0 or higher, iOS 16 or higher, iPadOS 16 or higher and Fire OS 7 or higher.
