I have a 5.1 receiver with a connect amp connected to listen to music through the  receivers speakers.  I have a new kitchen with 3 dual channel ceiling speakers.  I’d like to be able to listen to music through the existing 5.1 system as well as the new dual channel speakers.(x3). This might be a simple fix, but I’m not sure how to add these new speakers, as each speaker takes 2 channels for the stereo experience. (L n R x 2). Another receiver?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  McMac 

I have a Sonos Beam Gen 1 speaker and play music through it from my Sonos 1 app. Recently a favourite station of mine (TMM 1) from TuneIn only plays the advert but then not the music. I cann play the same station from TuneIn through my UE Boom speaker. Any thoughts?

Hi guys. I have just purchased my Sonos Move 2.Im going to set the Trueplay up later when my daughter arrives home, as she has an iPhone whereas I'm Android.If I choose a room, say sitting room, do the Trueplay calibration and save. I then move to the kitchen, opt for kitchen on the list of rooms, do the Trueplay calibration in the kitchen and save, when I next use it and choose kitchen on the Sonos, will it automatically use the Trueplay settings for that room that were originally saved? 

I noticed that since the latest update, press and hold play now does not work on favorites. It works on everything else. Tapping once on favorites still works.

Hello everyone,This is my first time posting in the community—I hope I can explain my issue clearly. I've been using Sonos for a couple of years and I love it, but for the past week, I've been facing a problem I just can't solve.My setup: 1 Sonos Beam (Gen 2) connected to the TV 2 Sonos One SL as rear speakers Router: TP-Link Archer C7 My phone: Samsung Galaxy S22 with the latest version of Android The problem:The Sonos app on my Android phone suddenly can't find any of my speakers. It shows the message "Unable to connect to Sonos." The strange thing is that if a friend comes over, their iPhone connects without any problems and can control the entire system. The music continues playing if started from their phone, but I can't do anything from mine.What I've already tried, with no success: Restarting the router and waiting 5 minutes Unplugging and replugging all Sonos speakers Uninstalling and reinstalling the Sonos app on my Android phone Clearing the app’s cache and data

I’ve used the alarm feature for years, both to wake up in the morning and periodically through the day. It would be ~~~amazing~~~ if, instead of just screeching to a halt, the alarm could fade out of what’s playing and then fade in to the alarm itself. It can be super jarring as is when white noise/music/etc. suddenly just ceases. It sort of negates the fade-in feature of the alarm. Even if it’s simply a sleep timer with a customizable length of time that can then fade out, that would allow for some time math to approximate that alarm functionality. I’ll thank the sonos gods literally every morning until I die if you can add this in pls i am begging xx

Hi. Can you guys recommend sturdy wall mounts that physically grab the speakers firmly as the ones I bought for my four Play1’s and they came dangerously loose within weeks in fact one fell and was saved by the mains cable. Problem is they rely on the bolt hole in the speaker that seems to be made from cheese. My brackets don’t have any branding on but will try and upload a pic just in case anyone else is tempted to follow my foolish act. Sorry the image won’t upload 

This has got to be one of the sickest jokes ever.. One year after the dreadful Sonos update, I noticed that I could finally edit and create new sonos playlists again. However after editing some of my old playlists, and creating a few new ones I now receive an error when opening these playlists saying that "the content is not available". This doesn't make any sense; some of the lists I just created, so the music is obviously still available. I have no problems with my WiFi, my system is up-to-date, and there doesn't seem to be a glitch either as I still can't access the playlists after closing/opening the sonos app multiple times. So everything signs to the sonos app still not working as it should be.Is anyone else experiencing smth similar? Right now creating playlists feels like playing Russian roulette; you could spend hours creating them, and who knows if you can still access them seconds later..  

I know this is a long shot, but is there any chance that Sonos could develop a simple app for WearOS? It wouldn’t even have to be full featured: simple play/pause/ffwd/rew controls would be great.We had a simulacrum of this with the old Sonos app, which correctly registered as a media player with Android so it could be controlled from the notification shade and the lockscreen, which meant it could also be controlled by the watch, but this has been gone ever since the new app came out.  

I am in need of help setting up an undercover patio speakers and tv. My home is being built right now and now is the time to run the wires. If I am understand correctly, I can order an AMP and Outdoor Speaker set. Wire the speakers to the AMP and store the AMP inside while the speakers are attached to the outside of my home. Then I want to connect a BEAM and hardwire it to the TV and also connect it wirelessly to the AMP. Will this work as I described and work seamlessly with the TV audio?Do I need to order specific outdoor speakers? I was sold a pair of 300 but I don’t believe these to be correct now. I am planning to use a Sylvox Outdoor TV. Will the BEAM be ok undercover outside? No rain will be able to get to it but there could be dust as the home is being built on 7 acres. Thanks for any help and guidance.  I have included an image as to how I think it works.   Sorry I advance as this is all new to me.  Any specific products you recommend I would appreciate links to order directly

When watching Dolby Atmos videos, this configuration operates as 7.1.4, but the problem is that the soundbar's side-firing speaker output is so weak that it actually sounds like 5.1.4. https://download.dolby.com/us/en/test-tones/dolby-test-tones_7_1_4.mp4In fact, when playing Dolby Atmos 7.1.4 test tones and listening to the side channel test tones, the side-firing speakers are so weak that the side channel sound sounds like the rear channel sound. Not only the test tones, but also when you watch various movie contents, if you place the Era 100 behind the sofa, the sound that should be heard from the side does not come from the side but rather sounds as if it is coming from the rear. Therefore, I have the following request to the sound engineering team: When combined with the Era 100, please increase the volume output of the side-firing speakers.

So I bought a Beam gen 2 for my bedroom mounted on the wall on a Sonos wall mount. The soundbar is updated trueplayed and connected to a 2022 Apple TV. When testing the soundbar I immediately noticed that the voices are balanced towards the left side of the tweeter in the middle. There’s a midrange speaker on each side of the tweeter and this array I assume is responsible for the center channel. Not talking about the far left and right speakers. Now getting up close to the soundbar the “issue” becomes a lot more noticeable and when you’ve first noticed it it’s hard to ignore. I talked to Sonos support and told them about the issue and we decided to replace the unit.  New unopened box. I installed the unit hoping that the issue would be fixed but lo and behold the issue still exists. So now I start thinking that this is by design and that voices and main effects are played by the midrange on the left side of combined with the tweeter in the middle and the right midrange is somehow used

The Sonos website says that Play:3 is compatible with S2 or S1. Several posts in this forum indicate that Play:3 can connect via S2 app. I’m trying to move Play:3 from the S1 app to the S2 app - unsuccessfully. This is what I’ve done so far.S1 app doesn’t have a “forget this system” choice, so I quit the app, and rebooted my Android Galaxy S21 with latest OS. Factory reset Play:3 (lights only ever flash white then go to solid white)Play:3 was also plugged in via Ethernet cable.Started S2 app.Chose Forget this system (I have a sound bar hooked up through S2)Add components.S2 recognizes both sound bar and Play:3Choose Play:3 to connectError message “This component is only compatible with S1 controller:”Sound bar connects fine.  Any ideas? Thanks.

I have a 20 x 20 living room with a TV centered on front wall. I am looking to create a good (doesn’t need to be superb) surround sound experience by using the TV and in ceiling speakers. Would prefer to avoid using a soundbar and in wall speakers. Could add a Subwoofer if recommended. Does anyone have input on this setup and placement of the speakers in the ceiling. Should there be two in front and two in back? Any advice would be appreciated.

Hello! I feel like my sound system lacks of bass. Is it only me or anyone else that what a bigger sub by Sonos? like a 12inc?

Setting up a Yoga Studio and need a system that can handle using a microphone and listen to music at the same time. What is a good setup for this?

Where is the promised Android widget?I am fed up of being told it's coming, it's been over a year, it's ridiculous to have to open the app up just to skip a track or reduce the volume etc.I want my Widget back!

I’ve upgrade my IPad Pro M4 to latest iPadOS 26. When trying to stream music from YouTube to Sonos system via AirPlay/Blutooth, it  get the message “Something went wrong. Tap to retry”. Tap but still doesn’t work. But if I switch back to iPad speaker, works just fine.

  I’d like to say that the following does not apply to the majority in this community. However, on the outside chance it may apply to a few here’s something to consider. But first let’s define what WAN stands for in networking.WAN_Wide Area Network Wired WAN (internet) speed: This is the max speed the router can connect to the internet/outside world with, shared cumulatively to all devices on your network whether wired or wireless. You want to make sure the router supports at least the speed your ISP is selling you.Today ISPs are providing speeds of 1GB, 2GB, 5GB and 8GB coming to homes/businesses. The latter two speeds are typically reserved for small to medium-sized business clients typically hosting a Wired environment and limited Wi-Fi usage.1GB and 2GB ISP speeds in homes are very common. Wi-Fi versus Wired clients make up the majority of the bandwidth usage. Today, a fast/robust Wi-Fi (or as some like to say albeit incorrectly “Strong Internet” 😊) is a must for audio/video strea

I've been experiencing issues for the past few days—possibly since the update that rolled out yesterday. On my iOS device (iOS 18.7), I’m currently unable to enable or disable Trueplay. My setup includes a Beam Gen2, two Era 100s, and a Sub Mini (firmware 80.29.4).When I reboot the Beam Gen2, the Trueplay toggle briefly reappears in the app.However, as soon as I interact with it, the toggle vanishes again.It’s quite odd. Do I need to reset my entire system, or is something else going on?

Buonasera,volevo sapere se era possibile collegare un microfono esterno tramite adattatore LINE-IN  con sonos era 100.Grazie

Hi Community,First time posting on this community but I’m a long suffering Sonos customer!  In the “good old days” if my memory serves me correctly, a “group” was called a “zone”. When we wanted to play the same audio source simultaneously on different zones, the app just copied the source to the various zones but control was independent i.e. you could pause a specific zone or change the volume of the zone and it didn’t impact the rest of the speakers. Now the current iteration is by a far a great improvement in so much as “party mode” (as think it used to be called) is true everywhere play controls house is in sync.  What I am missing however is, what if I want to control a group as part of “everywhere”. For example, “upstairs”, “downstairs” & “garden” each have 3 speakers in them in various rooms. I want to turn “garden” up but leave the rest unchanged - I have to change all three individually within the “playing now” control for “everywhere” - OR because the “garden” group exist

As a long term Sonos user I recently purchased an Era 300 to replace old Ones. The sound quality is excellent when playing music, radio, etc. however the Alexa voice is way too quiet. If I increase the volume to better hear Alexa the music becomes too loud. Is there anyway around this problem? Jim

I am thinking of upgrading my Move to a Move 2 (which has line-in connection).  I would like to use the Move 2 to play from my record deck which has an amp. I have the Sonos adaptor and  the cable. I would hope to then be able to group the Move 2 to the rest of my Sonos speakers to play music from the turntable. I think this should work, but before I make the upgrade investment I wanted to check if anyone else has successfully done this?Thanks in advance.
