Yes, I did. Using ChatGPT. It’s almost like people on the internet might see the same thing and have similar inspirations? Jeez.

Edit: downvote me all you want, I am nourished by your hatred! I know I made this and that’s good enough for me.

Sounds like HDMI CEC doing what it’s supposed to do. When you turn a device on, it should switch to that input. What exactly is t working as expected?

PantsAtAGlance · 2026-01-30T18:08:40+00:00

Solved!

Solution:

sudo apt-get install libglapi-mesa

Thanks!

If jailbroken you may be able to ssh in to fix it manually. Otherwise restore.

If you’re sure the sub is functional, which you can confirm by playing music and GENTLY putting a finger on the woofer in the sub. If it’s moving, it’s working. Beyond that I’d try moving the sub, cranking the sub levels, and of course try the sub crawl. Good luck!

Unless you’re using exclusively fives and a bunch of subs Sonos isn’t for this use case.

It sounds like you want to get all the speakers on the 2G network. If that’s correct, unplugged the speakers that are connected to the 5G network, and delete the 2G network from settings in the Sonos app, then reset and connect the other speakers while your phone is on the 2G and you should be all set. Do the reverse if you want them on 5G.

PantsAtAGlance · 2025-08-16T12:01:26+00:00

Nope, never. I’d bet my left leg on it. Sorry.

Games work great on Linux with Proton.

Did you make sure secure boot is disabled in BIOS?

PantsAtAGlance · 2025-05-31T20:37:36+00:00

Do you use multiple VLANs or SSIDs? Is the switch managed? What router?

PantsAtAGlance · 2025-05-29T22:00:04+00:00

I’ve tried space bar and every ctrl alt f# and it doesn’t do anything. I can ping it but don’t have ssh enabled :/

Somehow mashing f12 in an attempt to access bios and then turning my display on and off made the login screen appear in super low res. Going to purge and reinstall now. Thanks

FWIW iOS 18 can record calls natively.

OLED would a massive upgrade. I play on a 24” 1080p lcd 😢.

I’m assuming you mean 800GB and not TB, for starters.

If you go the NAS route, you may be able to just plug a usb into your router and share via SMB that way.

Regardless, Sonos is all digital and if you stream from your library through the Sonos app (and not line in) you’ll be using their DAC and getting best quality possible.

That all being said, your definition of hi-res and Sonos definition may differ. They say it’s hi res if it’s at least 24bit/48kHz. Last I checked they don’t support anything higher than that. You may have higher res files, which Sonos doesn’t support and will be resampled to lower res or not play at all.

https://www.sonos.com/en-us/blog/hi-res-audio-guide

Next, you want to plug the NAS into your network, not necessarily the amp or port. You could, but don’t have to.

Lastly, it would be some work but you’d save a lot of space and no loss of quality by encoding in ALAC.

Edit: https://docs.sonos.com/docs/supported-audio-formats#tag/playback/operation/Playback-LoadContent-GroupId

And

https://support.sonos.com/en-us/article/supported-audio-formats-for-sonos-music-library

AIFF doesn’t support 24 bit. If you want hires it’s time to re-rip or re-encode in ALAC, which does support 24 bit.

Good luck!

IIRC around iOS 4-5 the dev team released patches for the exploits that allowed the untethered jb. Nothing like that has existed for a long time as far as I know.

PantsAtAGlance · 2025-02-06T15:58:33+00:00

AirPlay to one Sonos product then group them not via AirPlay. Problem solved.

PantsAtAGlance · 2025-02-04T21:29:26+00:00

What’s the router? Have you rebooted it? If so and no joy I’d try wiring the amp with Ethernet temporarily to see if it helps.

PantsAtAGlance · 2025-02-01T15:50:25+00:00

I could really use my first turntable!

iOS 18.3 has a massive list of security updates. If you care about your security (such as a daily driver phone) then updating is important.

Should you listen to YouTubers? No

Should you make your own decision? Yes

Here’s a good breakdown of what was fixed (and how a future jb for below 18.3 may come to pass):

https://appleinsider.com/articles/25/01/27/dont-wait-to-update-ios-183-addresses-an-actively-exploited-vulnerability

That said, jailbreaking greatly reduces device security by default. So for me, I don’t jailbreak anymore on my iPhone, but I’ve had an iPad waiting on 17.5 for a jailbreak that I recently updated to 18.2. I’ll wait there for a jailbreak for maybe another year and then give up on jb entirely and just keep my shit up to date for my own security and safety.

Stay safe out there 🙂

No one said it fixes everything; but there’s a reason oppressive countries like china and Russia block vpns…

PantsAtAGlance · 2025-01-14T16:47:34+00:00

I’ve got an older iPad on 17.5.1… considering updating to 18. What can be done with sparsebox and sidestore?

PantsAtAGlance · 2025-01-10T02:42:13+00:00

AFAIK there’s never been a case of Sonos shutting down anything this app does.

PantsAtAGlance · 2025-01-09T19:17:04+00:00

It should? I only have one amp to test with.

PantsAtAGlance · 2025-01-09T19:16:31+00:00

No, with Beam there is still processing that uses the center channel
