Yes, the ability to transfer TV audio from Sonos speakers to the Ace only works with the Sonos Arc soundbar for now. Sonos says support for both generations of the Beam and the Ray is on the way, but there\u2019s no definitive timeline.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve used Sonos speakers or read any reviews of them, you\u2019re probably familiar with Trueplay, which maps the acoustics of a room with microphones to fine tune sound. There\u2019s a version for the Ace, called True Cinema, which virtualizes surround sound for the room you\u2019re in, to make it seem like you\u2019re not wearing the Ace at all. But\u2026 that wasn\u2019t ready either.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Mat Smith<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"caas-jump-link-heading\" id=\"the-biggest-stories-you-might-have-missed\">The biggest stories you might have missed<\/h3>\n<p><a data-i13n=\"cpos:2;pos:1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/ubisoft-toronto-is-helping-out-with-the-troubled-prince-of-persia-the-sands-of-time-remake-050059045.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Ubisoft Toronto is helping with the troubled Prince of Persia remake;cpos:2;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Ubisoft Toronto is helping with the troubled Prince of Persia remake<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a data-i13n=\"cpos:3;pos:1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/breville-infizz-fusion-review-the-bubble-master-173216954.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Breville InFizz Fusion review: The bubble master;cpos:3;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Breville InFizz Fusion review: The bubble master<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a data-i13n=\"cpos:4;pos:1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/intel-officially-unveils-lunar-lake-its-copilot-ai-pc-chip-030029548.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Intel officially unveils Lunar Lake, its Copilot+ AI PC chip;cpos:4;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Intel officially unveils Lunar Lake, its Copilot+ AI PC chip<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u200b\u200b<em>You can get these reports delivered daily direct to your inbox. <\/em><a data-i13n=\"cpos:5;pos:1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/about\/newsletter\/\" data-ylk=\"slk:Subscribe right here!;cpos:5;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \"><em>Subscribe right here!<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"caas-jump-link-heading\" id=\"the-family-plan-will-be-20-monthly-up-from-17\">The Family plan will be $20 monthly, up from $17.<\/h3>\n<p>Spotify is officially raising its Premium subscription rates in the US come July, following reports of the move in April.
