The older sonos app states it is for older equipment, the Sonos 2 is for the newer equipment and both average 4-1/2 stars. To average 4-1/2 stars you have to have a heck of a lot more positive than negative reviews Did you look at the age of the negative reviews? If they were recent, I would guess there are other problems going on. I have no trouble with the Sonos 2 app; but I have somewhat newer equipment I guess.

I seem to recall that the current Sonos 2 app was poorly reviewed when the switch occurred from Sonos 1. There still appear poor reviews on the internet for Sonos 2 and Voiceover. Are Voiceover users currently happy with the Sonos 2 app? If not happy then on what basis?

The Arc has an HDMI connection to the TV and I assume the Beam does as well, my original Sonos Playbar which does not support Dolby Atmos or any digital assistants but still has the 11 drivers like the Arc had an optical input so you would go from your TV's optical out to the soundbar. I actually have to still advertise my Sonos Playbar along with the set of Sonos Play 1 speakers and the first generation wireless Sub which I had for quite a few years before upgrading to the Arc with a set of Sonos SL and the latest generation wireless Sub. I'm quite bad sometimes when it comes to selling old stuff, I have had my iPhone 11 for over a year and still have my iPhone 8 sitting around in its original box, all wiped and reset and occasionally I charge it, really have to get on this. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of mich verrier Sent: October 26, 2021 6:25 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Soundbar app accessibility Hi I also would like to know this as well.

I have never seen another company which supports as many music services both paid and free ones and the Sonos app is extremely accessible and the sound quality of all their speakers is fantastic. Bot the Beam and Arc also support Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant although you still can't have both digital assistants active at the same time. Lastly, if you invest in a Sonos Beam or Arc and you later on want to add a set of Sonos One or other speakers in a different room you can always add to your Sonos system which will then allow you to play music in different rooms, you can group speakers and play the same or you can play different things in different rooms. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Melanie Clouser Sent: October 25, 2021 10:52 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Soundbar app accessibility Hello.
