Then 3 months ago things starting getting laggy. Buggy and non responsive. I can eventually get it running but it's a pita.
Call Sonos and they tell me my system has 2 non supported devices that may be causing the issue. I explained that everything was working perfectly before and
Nothing Sonos was changed. They said the updates that they pushed are for the new products and basically no thought about Old products. I'm not happy but I go to Best Buy and get a port to replace the connect and a boost to replace the bridge. Come home read the instructions and install both.
Problem is better but not as good as before but. Just in case anyone is having similar issues check for old products.
I'm using Apple Music , pandora and Spotify as services bc my family each has their own favorites. It seems that the Apple Music runs best. The other 2 are still hit and miss. For example the Spotify interface does not allow for which speakers you can choose line the apple sonos interface.
A call to Sonos tech support is brutal as the person you speak to does not speak enough English to understand my issue let alone solve it. I'm off today so perhaps I'll take another stab at it.
Anyone else.

I'll just say that if you had a qualified professional DESIGN and install your distributed audio solution, then you'd just call them and they'd be responsible for making it work as promised. Then again, perhaps the pro would have designed a more robust solution instead of the DIY consumer crap that your dealing with. 16 zones deserves a real professional solution, and not tabletop WiFi speakers.
Just saying.
SONOS is a good tool for smaller systems that are 8 zones or less. Sure, you can build a big SONOS system but I wouldn't trust that in my home. Who the hell wants to chase stupid bugs like this? |
I agree, to a point. We had a professional design and install the AV in our home theater 9 years ago. It cost about 13x as much for that one room where sound and picture quality was really important, than it did to just be able to have music through the rest of the house using consumer friendly Sonos.
After 9 years, I'd say our home theater is pretty outdated and could use an upgrade, plus it's much fussier and fiddlier trying to get perfect settings than the main tv we watch with our arc.
Like everything though, professional is the way to go if it's really important to have the best. I just want to watch a movie with decent sound and hear songs
