The Sonos Version 14.12 debacle continues. This video is a followup of the impact of 14.12 on the Sonos Arc. Sonos released an update to improve the dialogue. While the dialogue is improved and I like the new sound signature, a lot of users are up in arms over the unwelcomed reduction in volume.
I measure out the frequency response so that you can see for yourself what the changes really are. And if you adopt some of the recommendations I make, you might just be able to get back the sound that you love. Let me know if it works for you. Again, if it's about the volume, don't sweat it, just turn up the volume!
