third party subwoofer wireless connection

I would like to buy a third party subwoofer to add wirelessly to my Sonos one amp which powers two wired ceiling speakers. Does anyone know if this is possible and if so which subwoofers will work? I.e. can I buy any subwoofer that has WiFi connection?

Sonos app direct control by Plex app not available anymore?

I’m having trouble triyng to play music on my Sonos system through the Plex app, it works fine playing music located on my Plex library using the Sonos app but just won’t work the other way around. When I try to do so I get an error message like this in the picture, both on my sonos app for desktop and on the sonos app for iPhone. I’ve been talking to the Sonos call center for support and they tell me Sonos is no longer allowing Plex app to directly control the Sonos app, but can’t find anything related to this on the internet. Can anybody help? Any suggestion would be much appreciated.

Redesigned Sonos app and compatibility with voice-over screen reader in IOS

Hello has the forthcoming redesigned Sonos App (announced on 23rd April 2024) been tested for compatibility with the voice-over screen reader in IOS? I am totally blind and currently use sonos very successfully with the S2 app on both my Iphone and Ipad. can you confirm whether the app has been tested with voice-over and that it will continue to be accessible to voice-over users. I am slightly reluctant to update if the app ends up being less accessible to me. at present the current app works beautifully with the exception of a few minor quirks. Thanks for any info you can supply. Best wishes Angus

How many Sonos Outdoor speakers for my backyard

Hey there! I’ve been doing some and decided on getting Sonos Outdoor speakers + Sonos amps for my backyard because I love Sonos and i’ve read that these speakers w/ Trueplay sound great. What’s been very challenging is trying to figure out how many speakers I need to get based on my backyard space. Here’s what I’m thinking so far: Amp #13 speakers in the BBQ area 3 speakers in the covered patio area. Amp #23 speakers on left side of the pool 3 speakers on right side of pool Does this seem appropriate for the space? Also wondering I’m wondering if it’s best to set these up as left/right channels or mono?

NAS drive connection issue

I have a WD ‘MyCloud NAS drive and am unable to connect to Sonos as I believe I should be able to. I am unable to discern the correct path I can ‘see’ the drive on Plex, but would like access directly through Sonos… Cheers

alexa wont connect to sonos

After a power interruption Sonos won't respond to Alexa command. So I went to the Alexa app and disabled the Sonos skill. Thereafter, I enable the skill. While my Alexa account get linked with Sonos, once the Alexa app looks for a device to connect, it cannot find my Sonos. How do I fix this? And when I tried to add Sonos voice, it does not fully install and I get a message that there was something wrong. I checked the wifi connection and the Sonos app indicates the signal is excellent. Now I do not have either voice command.

Adding music on Apple macbook to sonos.

I’ve read the post, but don’t understand where the add a folder occurs. Also, Sonos doesn't show as an app for my MacBook. I have an iPad and phone and still don’t find the music library as it has been stated in all the items I’ve read.

ARC with strange noise

Hello,I have the problem that my Sonos soundbar suddenly starts humming. This happens when I use it while watching TV. Is there a reason for this or should I assume that it is defective? Thank you!

System Setup Lock

This is a basic ask. The owner of an account, signed into their Sonos system, should be able to lock the system down with a pin code, such that no changes can be made to important set up parameters.Currently, anyone with a Sonos app on the Wi-Fi system, can change device names, eg, like room names, and mess with a system. This should not be allowed. This would be a piece of cake for SONOS to implement, and it makes a lot of sense to do so.

How do I Switch between Sonos Systems in my House?

I have two Sonos systems in my house, both on the same network. One is called Kitchen and the other is called Dining Room, I can switch between them using the Spotify app but I don't know how to switch between them in the Sonos app. How do I do that?

Move 2 indicator lights on the front poor intensity

I can’t see the blue or white indicator light during the day either outside or inside. The Move 1 was excellent in this regard. In the dark they are quite visible.Does anyone else have the same issue? I ask in case my indicator lights are faulty. Dave
