Sonos issues another app & firmware update in December
Less than two weeks after its previous release, Sonos has pushed another small software package for its Controller app and several speaker models. The update is being rolled out gradually to iOS and Android users and mainly includes bug fixes and minor adjustments to stabilize existing features.
According to Sonos, the package is compact and focused — not a major feature release — but aims to improve day-to-day reliability for playback, connectivity and app interactions. Users should see incremental improvements rather than new functionality.
What the update addresses
- Stability fixes for the Controller app on iOS and Android.
- Minor firmware adjustments for multiple Sonos speaker models to improve connectivity and playback consistency.
- Bug fixes that smooth out less common edge cases users reported after the last update.
Rollout and how to get it
The update is being delivered in stages, so availability may vary by region and device. To check for the update manually, open the Sonos Controller app, go to Settings > System > System Updates and follow the prompts. For mobile, ensure your Controller app is updated via the App Store or Google Play.
Notes & tips
- Because it’s a staged rollout, some users may see the update immediately while others get it later.
- If you run into issues after updating, try restarting your speaker and router; consult Sonos support for persistent problems.
- Major new features are not part of this release — expect quality and reliability improvements rather than new functionality.
