Hi
I've just taken delivery of a '23 plate Q4 with the sonos speakers and am very underwhelmed both by the quality and the maximum volume - just wondering if anyone else has experienced this? My vehicle appears to have the newest software version already installed 3862 so not sure if that could be the culprit but regardless of the source (DAB or bluetooth) it isnt anywhere near as loud as i was expecting. Thought I'd ask on here before embarking on the trauma that is Audi support!!

I've got the Sonos and agree it's underwhelming from a volume perspective it can be at 3/4 volume and it's barely loud, with some jiggling about the sound can be improved but not great, was expecting much better.

I'm sure you've already tried, but is the subwoofer on? It seems to be set to off by default and gets reset it when/if you reset the MMI. Making sure its on and fiddling with the bass and treble settings you can get pretty good power out of it.

When you say make sure it’s on. Is that just with the slider in audio settings? I agree completely on the volume. Max volume should make your ears bleed and you should then be able to dial it back from there. With the speakers installed in the car it should get really loud but it is obviously being software limited somewhere!
