What is Trueplay tuning?
Trueplay is a Sonos technology that uses the microphone on your smartphone or tablet to measure how the speaker's sound is reflected off walls, furniture, and other surfaces in your room. It then optimizes the EQ settings to deliver the best possible sound for that specific environment.
Troubleshooting
Speaker won't turn on
Ensure the speaker is charged or connected to the wireless charging base. Check that the charging base is plugged in and functioning. Try a different power outlet.
No sound or low volume
Verify that the speaker is connected to your device via Bluetooth or WiFi. Check the volume levels on both the speaker and your streaming device. Ensure the speaker is not muted in the Sonos app.
Bluetooth pairing issues
Make sure the speaker is in Bluetooth pairing mode (refer to the Sonos app for instructions). Turn off Bluetooth on your device and then turn it back on. Move the speaker closer to your device and ensure no other devices are actively connected.
WiFi connection drops
Restart your router and modem. Ensure the speaker is within range of your WiFi signal. Check for any potential interference from other electronic devices.
Audio sounds distorted or unbalanced
Run the Trueplay tuning process again via the Sonos app. Ensure the speaker is placed on a stable surface and not obstructed. Check for firmware updates for the speaker in the app.
