Trueplay corrects the room. Your own taste is a separate adjustment, made with the EQ.

Beginner

  • Play something you know well.
  • Turn Trueplay off and on to compare: Settings, choose the room, Trueplay, then the Trueplay Tuning switch.
  • If you prefer it on but want more or less bass or treble, adjust the Bass and Treble sliders in the room’s EQ settings.
  • Loudness adds bass at low volume. Try it on and off.

When to retune

Retune whenever you move a speaker, or if the sound stops seeming right: Settings, choose the room, Sound, Trueplay, then Retune.

Levels and limits

Advanced

  • Sub, surround and height level sliders are separate from Trueplay. Sonos doesn’t say whether tuning changes them, so check them after tuning and adjust by ear.
  • Trueplay has no target curve you can edit and no graphs. The Bass, Treble and Loudness controls are the only adjustments.
  • If tuning keeps failing or sounds wrong, retune in a quieter room, check the app’s microphone permission, and make sure the app and speakers are up to date.

The level sliders point is based on Sonos not documenting the interaction.
