Sonos News: Alarms Go Off A Day Early; Music ‘Cannot Be Stopped Unless Disabled’
Athena DeeSonos is a wireless system that streams audio from a variety of mobile devices to speakers. It can also be used as an alarm that plays the user's favorite music at a set time - a feature that has added to its popularity. Since its launch, it has reportedly dominated over its competitors.
Recently, however, users have come to the Sonos Community to complain about not being able to turn the system off - not without deleting the alarms entirely. Apart from that, the set alarms tended to go off a day early.
Sonos staff have now been notified of this issue and they are reportedly "working on getting this resolved." "We are sorry for the trouble," staff Max P wrote. "Our teams are hard at work to resolve this. We will post updates here as soon as they become available."
Another staff member, John M, discovered that the cause of the malfunction is a bug that triggers the alarm on "wrong days or times." "We discovered a bug in how some Sonos players interpret leap year dates, resulting in unexpected behavior for alarms," he wrote. "After the 1st of January, we expect all alarms will resume their normal behavior.
For the meantime, Sonos users have been advised to "disable any existing alarms" for the rest of the weekend. Until the company is able to remedy the problem, users will have to turn to a different form of audio device as an alarm system.
Rest assured, the Sonos staff will not stop until the bug is fixed. "You have our commitment that we will fix this bug in a future update," John M added.
A similar issue was experienced by Apple users back in 2011. After the clock struck midnight on January 1st, 2011, the iPhone's alarms did not stop singing out. The problem was officially solved on January 3rd.
