Update 13.1 for the Sonos S2 app is available now, and among other bug fixes and improvements, it adds the ability to tweak the volume of the Sonos Arc’s height drivers when listening to content with object-based Dolby Atmos sound. You’ll find the setting by navigating to
Settings > System > Arc > Height Audio on the Sonos app.
Like other Dolby Atmos-enabled soundbars, the Sonos Arc delivers height effects using upfiring drivers that bounce sound off your ceiling, which makes for an easier and more affordable alternative to installing height speakers in your ceiling.
Of course, the shape and height of your ceiling can alter the effectiveness of a soundbar’s upfiring drivers. If your ceiling is too high, too low, or vaulted, the signature height cues of Dolby Atmos soundtracks might be (depending on the situation) too diffuse, or too in-your-face.
