Sonos
Sonos is the official desktop controller application for Sonos multi-room wireless audio systems. It allows users to control their entire Sonos ecosystem from their Mac, including managing music playback across multiple rooms, adjusting volume levels, configuring speaker groups, and accessing various streaming services. The app serves as a central hub for controlling Sonos speakers, soundbars, and amplifiers throughout the home, providing an intuitive interface for browsing music libraries, creating playlists, and managing audio settings. It's essential for Sonos system owners who want comprehensive control over their multi-room audio setup from their computer.
Suggested Replacements
1 suggestionBased on the search results, Sonos has not released an Apple Silicon native version of their macOS app as of 2024-2025, despite Apple Silicon Macs being available since 2020. The current Sonos S2 desktop application still requires Rosetta 2 to run on Apple Silicon Macs. Multiple users have reported this issue across Reddit and Sonos community forums, with no official timeline provided by Sonos for native Apple Silicon support. While the app functions through Rosetta 2 translation, users seeking native performance may need to rely on the Sonos mobile app or web controller as alternatives, though these may lack some desktop-specific features. We recommend checking Sonos's official website periodically for updates, as Apple's planned phase-out of Rosetta 2 in future macOS versions may accelerate development of a native version.
