Sonos speakers can be made suitable for multi-channel LPCM via a firmware update, which is good news for gamers, for example.
According to Sonos, the Sonos Arc soundbar has quickly become a favorite with fans of high quality cinema sound for TV, film, music and gaming at home. With a software update rolling out today, the Sonos Arc now supports multi-channel LPCM. This provides a new, immersive sound experience for gaming, Blu-ray disc watching/listening and more.
To get support for multi-channel LPCM on the Sonos Arc, customers are updating the latest Sonos software being rolled out in app stores today for all existing and future Arc set-ups,” says the manufacturer.
