Very weird, but now my system’s back to how I’ve used and loved it for the past 6-7 years and it’s great! Hopefully some others might try this and have some luck getting full functionality back.To stream any audio from your Mac to your Sonos speakers we will use SonoAir. No idea why, but like I said this has caused the end-of-track dropout to go away and my lock screen controls to come back (even though Sonos says explicitly in their release notes that this function has gone away for those without Air Play compatible speakers). I also unplugged both speakers and then basically set my system back up, as if it was new. For some reason one of my speakers dropped off the system and I couldn’t get it to reconnect, so I did a full-on controller reset on my iPhone. Surprisingly I just accidentally got the lock screen controls re-enabled and the end-of-track cutoff seems to have gone away. I keep nearly all my audio on my iPhone & iPad and generally play straight from those devices’ libraries instead of from my Mac, as the latter spends most of its time in sleep mode.

I’ve also experienced the same as others where the last ~20 seconds of each track would be cut off when I was playing from a locked iOS device. I was very disappointed when the v9.0 update, which apparently enabled Air Play on the One (plus other current models), disabled the home screen controls for those of us using the legacy speakers. I have two Play:1 speakers that I use as a stereo pair. I’ve been a Sonos user since very early on. Anyway I can’t wait to add more speakers to our house later on. However I would guess the larger sound bar probably sounds better.? However don’t let the size of the Sonos Beam fool you, it's impressive. I just didn’t want a optical connection that the bigger Sonos bar only comes with. We chose the Beam over the larger Sonos sound bar because the Beam has a HDMI hook up with “ARC” and Alexa built in if that’s important to you. However the sub really completes the system so I would say if you can swing it $$$, go for it. It is pricey when it comes to the sub woofer. We are very please with the system and the ease of setup and use.

Anyway, friends told me about Sonos speakers and since we had the new TV I decided to purchase the Beam sound bar, the sub woofer and two play 1 speakers to make a surround system for the new LG. The Sony and Bose never really jived with each other. The Bose was great for music but was always problematic trying to get it working properly for surround sound. So we decided to move up to a LG 65” c8 television. we had a 10 year old Sony 46” Bravia TV and Bose Acoustimass 15 home theater speakers run through a Sony amp. I especially want to be able to play albums quickly and easily. I just want to listen to music quickly and easily.

I don’t want to fumble around relearning how to use the controller effectively. What bugs me is that the cleanliness of the look destroyed the ease of use that was there up to now. The interface is cleaner, yes, and I don’t mind the white as others do. You have complicated the controller in many ways under the guise of simplifying the look of the interface. Navigating to the list now, even with the button on the bottom is aggravating. There used to be immediate access at the top of the screen to individual rooms. It’s unclear how to just play an album or add an album to the queue with one click or a hard press as in prior versions. Choosing an album now gives me a mountain of icons for individual songs to choose from that album. First, and forgetting the UI’s appearance for a second, the move to privilege songs over albums is misguided. I cannot understand how you’re getting 5 star reviews from anyone who’s used the controller for any length of time.
