Are you SIRIUS??

My sound bar won’t connect with Sirius XM

Absolute garbage

This has to be the worst app and worst technology I have ever encountered. Polk should be ashamed. It almost never works. Constantly have to reconnect devices, it almost never connects with music services and drops connection even if it eventually does connect (no, it’s not my internet connection). Finally I had to settle with the Bluetooth direct connect to even get sound out. Wi-Fi portion just doesn’t work. Ever. A room full of trained monkeys, if given enough bananas, could come up with better tech and a better app. If I could give it negative stars I would.

Complete trash

Impossible to connect. Turns off at random. What a complete waste of money. I’d like to send Polk a bill for all of my time they have wasted.

New router Great sound

Always had problems with the system. Bought a new router and the speakers sing when we want them to. After years of frustration now enjoying the system.

The app doesn’t allow me to connect to set up the master speaker

You guys need to take a look at this and see what is wrong with it. I own the Omni SB1+ and I recently bought two Omni S2 speakers. I followed the instructions on the app and connected them according to the instructions. I have updated the software and firmware. When I go to select “Surround Sound” the message prompted on the screen reads “No Speaker Detected a master surround speaker is needed to set up rear surrounds.” I’m pretty sure this is an issue with the app. When I click the “Troubleshooting” option on the app, the page is down and loads some kind of programming codes. Can you fix the issues with the app please.
