Fromtheir support article;
The Sonos app for iOS is required to set up TV Audio Swap. Support for Android devices is coming soon.

Super frustrating! I just spent 45 min searching and trying to find where to enable TV audio swap on my new, expensive headphones- finally realized it's simply not there (android). I don't understand why this promised functionality does not exist for android users out of the box.
My two main use cases for buying these headphones were for the system integration 1) watching TV without disturbing others in my house and 2) listening to Sonos radio. Now that I have them, I find out I can't do either of these things. Literally no advantage over less expensive Bose or Sony options right now.
We need a timeframe for adding the advertised functionality- if android TV swap is still months away, I'm going to have to return these- I don't need or want a pair of $450 basic bluetooth headphones.
All I heard was that TrueCinema would not be available at launch. I never heard any mention of audio swap not being available for Android users at launch. Looks like I missed that tidbit of info. Hopefully they will send out an update soon.
Just went through a lengthy session with customer service. The reason I got was they're trying to fix the new app, and some features had to be delayed in the process but would eventually get rolled out.
Actually, I found a workaround in a reddit post. If you have access to an apple device (I used my daughter's iphone), you can load the app and use it to connect Ace headphones to the Arc and set up TV swap.
It's a one-time set up, once complete, the apple device is no longer needed- the TV audio swap is initiated using the content button on the Ace headphones. After setup, I deleted the Sonos app off of my daughters iphone.
Exactly, although this was listed on thier own website, it wasn't listed on any other page I came across. I still have mine and they are great, but these two features need to be included for android too. I love my Sonos products, but at the same time, I'm fairly frustrated with their continued bias for everything Apple. It'll definitely be a factor when it comes to replenishing my sound system set up tbh.
I have Android and Apple products so this doesn't bother me much that it isn't ready for Android. Just borrow someone's Apple and set it up and you're done. The headphones is nice and feels expensive. Worth the money!
Just got my aces in the mail. I own 24-25 Sonos products. It's a love-hate relationship bc we are an apple free household as well and android functionality is *. Like bad bad bad. I've posted before about ghost scrolling on Android app and missing tons of features that my iPhone friends have. Sonos doesn't just ignore android users. They actively disrespect us and defy us. I think Sonos wants us to just go away and die. Android has to secure way more market share before they give a * about us. 99% of the time when a company does our Pixel phones dirty like this, I kick them to the curb but I love Sonos so much, I tolerate their blatant shunning of android. BUT, mark my words, if they don't fix this quick, I've got 1 foot out the door bc I've been waiting for these aces for YEARS. Hours spent researching, reading predictions, messaging support. These SONOS ACES feel amazing on my head but if they can't deliver on their promises, I'm ready to jump ship and find a different ecosystem, even if it's inferior. SONOS: DO THE RIGHT THING. WE HAVE BEEN LOYAL AND DEVOTED. BUT NOT FOREVER. WE LEFT THE APPLE CULT AND WE WILL LEAVE YOU TOO. You may not care but after a while, you will bc android users are very, very loyal and invested. ?
A; unacceptable not to have made it very clear to users/customers (old and new) that the sound bar swap option would not be available at launch on Android. I personally ordered and paid 2 weeks before launch and only found out by seeing it was missing from the app.
VERY Disappointed! I'm returning the 2 sets I received yesterday. First, the app update was and is an absolute disaster, and now this. I wish there were other options like Sonos, I'm looking for one for my new house. ??
Back to the app - the other and main point of my previous message, and this thread. PLEASE SORT AUDIO SWAP FOR ANDROID and give us all a date to look forward to that isn't an unacceptable amount of time away.
I don't have an android phone, but i'm trying to develop for it anyway. The only way to test my application at the moment is to use the emulator, which I've read does not support audio recording. However, I read about the startup command "-audio " which allows audio input/output from your pc using the 'winaudio' backend. I haven't been able to get it to work though, is it possible to record using my pc's microphone? If so, what am I doing wrong?
Recording audio is possible at least in the standard 2.3.3 emulator on Windows 7; I have tried it and it works. However, the recorded audio did sound a bit weird (slow) in my case. I did not investigate the cause.
You need to add audio recording + playback support to the emulator (Android SDK and AVD manager -> Virtual devices -> Edit -> Hardware -> New). Then use the [MediaRecorder API][1] to record (MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC).
I hope some like-minded Cubasers can help me find some nice succinct portable Audio-MIDI-USB IO interfaces that are compatible with the Android version of Cubasis, with which to use line/mic and MIDI products from pro brands like Native Instruments, Korg, AKAI, Novation.
My most obvious lack of knowledge is how capable Cubasis is in coping with multitrack recording of audio and MIDI via the Android USB-C port and whether certain portable audio MIDI interfaces are especially compatible with Android Cubasis 3.
The more people that discuss their discoveries we could create a little database of what people can respect regarding interface compatibility, feature combinations per device, and latency times etc. Perhaps Steinberg would like to help clarify the issue and the userbase can help with end user data from popular devices.
The performance of Cubasis for Android is heavily related to the Android device in use. Due to the high number of available Android devices, we are unable to give a recommendation about particular devices.
Lastly, we offer a free downloadable Cubasis LE 3 Trial for Android version, which enables to run a smaller feature set of the app in a 30 minute demo mode, which can be restarted as often as you like.
Our freely downloadable Cubasis LE 3 Trial version allows customers to check a smaller feature set of Cubasis in a 30 minute demo mode, in making sure their devices work as expected with the app before making a purchase decision of Cubasis.
Instead, Cubasis LE 3 Trial is offered as a free download on Google Play, which allows you to test drive a smaller feature set of Cubasis in a thirty minute demo mode, which can be restarted as often as you like. The preloaded demo tracks can be easily deleted and replaced with own recordings.
It may be a combination of things. The USB interface on Helix is a USB 2.0 type B which is used for a different purpose such as printers and external devices, in other words things that can be slaved off of a PC. It may be possible to get a USB micro to USB female OTG converter then use a normal USB cable like you would use with a PC for the connection to the Helix. However, I'm not sure whether Android would actually see the Helix as a viable sound device or not.
