Update your Sonos speakers

This article provides information on how to update your Sonos system to ensure you have access to the latest features and security updates. You can read about the latest updates to Sonos in our release notes for Sonos S2.

By default, your Sonos system is set to update automatically.

If your Sonos system is on S1 software, this process will not update your system to S2. You can learn more about how to update to S2 in our Sonos S2 Overview.



Check for updates

From the Settings tab, tap System > System Updates > Check for Updates.


Mac or PC

From the Sonos menu (Mac), or Manage menu (PC), select Check for Updates.



Scheduling updates

To schedule when you’d like your Sonos system to automatically update, you can select one of the following two-hour periods by tapping Scheduled. If audio is playing or an alarm is scheduled during this period, the update will be postponed until the next available update window.

The two-hour periods available are Morning (5:00am - 7:00am), Afternoon (12:00pm - 2:00pm), Evening (5:00pm - 7:00pm), and Overnight (2:00am - 4:00am).

If you’d prefer to check for updates manually, you can disable automatic updates in the Settings tab under System > System Updates > Update Automatically.
