Dolby's FlexConnect: Revolutionizing Home Theater Audio

Dolby Labs has introduced Dolby Atmos FlexConnect, a new home theater technology that allows users to place wireless speakers anywhere in the room and calibrate them automatically to work with the TV's built-in speakers, eliminating the need for a soundbar or AV receiver as the central unit and HDMI cables. The technology will debut in a 2024 TCL TV, but Dolby expects other companies to support it. Dolby Atmos FlexConnect is connection and hardware-agnostic, allowing TV manufacturers to choose the wireless speakers they want to support. The system offers benefits such as improved audio performance, flexibility in speaker placement, easy setup, and intelligent audio optimization.

Sonos will remove the On this Mobile Device option from its Android app's Music Sources tab on May 23, 2023, leaving Android users with limited options to play music files stored locally on their phones or tablets. They can use Bluetooth, put their phone's music library on a network-attached storage device, use a Mac or PC, or upload their tunes to a streaming music service. However, even if they have a Bluetooth-capable Sonos device, they won't get an equivalent level of sound quality to streaming a track directly from Apple Music or Amazon Music.
