Sonos Arc Ultra Speech Enhancement

The new SONOS Arc Ultra has three levels of speech enhancement: Low, Medium and High. HA regonises the new Arc Ultra and controls it fine. But speech enhancement is a switch. Turing it on/off toggles the Low mode only. I can’t find a way to select medium or high. If I select, say Medium, in the SONOS app on my phone, then toggle speech enhancement off/on using HA, it sets the enhancement back to Low.

I think the logic for the different levels is simply missing in HA since all previous soundbars just had on/off.

Hi there, I have exactly the same issue.
I can only toggle on/off to the lowest level…

Is there allready a solution or work-arround available for this problem?

Just found out that this is still the case, so +1

I have reported a bug about 2 months ago…
But no solution so far.

What I’ve noticed is that Sonos changed the speech enhancement option in their own app. You have no the option to set it to 5 different levels…

It is on my list to fix this. Apologies. There are a couple of PRs for Sonos that need to get processed first.

it’s not a personal attack or anything like that… It’s more that we didn’t get any updates om this bug and we’re just wondering what the status was right now.

Much appreciated for all the work that all you spend on this to get is work the way it should be!!

Mucias gracias!

looking forwards if/when this will be implemented.

By the way the toggle now indeed turns on only the low setting (and only that, the medium and max can’t be selected) and the off switch doesn’t work at all.

Thanks again, and will be keeping an eye on this thread :wink:

The switch should be fixed in 2025.8.1, give a try, let me know how it goes.

thanks PeteRage. for clarification with switch fixed, you mean the working of turning on/off the speech enhance, not yet the changing low medium high setting fo the speech enhancement, correct? Just to ensure I am not searching for something that is still hopefully to come somewhere down the line.

thanks!

That is correct, the fix for the switch is in 2025.8, the new select to allow setting of the levels will be in 2025.9
