Advanced setups

Hi, I have an LG OLED TV and Xfinity. Is there a way to have two remotes control the volume on playbar setting (+sub+suround)? or can I only choose one? when we watch Xfinity we prefer to use Xfinity remote for X1 voice control that the LG Magic remote doesn't support, but then its annoying to back to LG remote for volume.

I have a ZP100 that has updated to 8.1 but will not register. I get a time out with the message "Setup Problem Check your internet connection and that all your players are plugged in". I have tried the registration process with this player many times over the last 2 weeks. Other players (ZP100s among them) have not had this issue. Here are the contents of anacapa.trace after I try to register: [2000-01-01 00:47:01.810] Validating flags [0x00000001] for endpoint [/device_account/registration] [2000-01-01 00:47:01.814] perf: 1: ip=169.254.1.100:60880, sidx=1, backlog=0, total=477, sm=0, fb=473, req=473, handler=477, cm=477, op=https [2000-01-01 00:47:03.820] timedjobmgr starting job "pollZPHighRateJobs" (s:946687623 n:946687623) [2000-01-01 00:47:03.825] timedjobmgr completed job "pollZPHighRateJobs" [2000-01-01 00:47:06.830] timedjobmgr starting job "fetchRegDeviceCert" (s:946687626 n:946687626) [2000-01-01 00:47:06.831] regcert: fetching certificate [] [2000-01-01 00:4

We have a yoga studio with many instructors and 2 Sonos speakers. Can each instructor with their own Sonos login and app access the same set of speakers when they teach their own class?

Is there a change to how the latest software works? I am suspecting that the system now needs to always see a live internet connection, and that if it goes., the system will fail or the controller will lose connection to the players? We are in an area with little or no internet and use local content store, we also have systems on a boat that has no internet. The latest SW seems to prevent you from using the system if you do not have a permanent internet connection. If I am not using streaming services, why must I keep a connection open to the SONOS mothership?

Curious what innovative ways folks have integrated your SONOS connects with your existing receivers. I've tried a few things, but not thrilled with any of them unfortunately so far, and am tempted to just have a separate set of speakers/amp. How do you deal with volume control - Since volume control will be tied to other receiver sources like TV. How do you deal with source switching My answers to above: How do you deal with volume control: - I've tried fixed volume on SONOS, but then you still have to adjust volume in two places one for the other sonos devices not connected to receiver and one for the device on the receiver. - I've set receiver to have different volumes per source, so setting the source for the SONOS at a higher level compared to other sources, and then you can still do the adjustments on the SONOS controller for volume. This seems to be the best route, although unfortunately my receivers range in volume per source isn't great enough, so it will be ha

How do I connect to a VPN. I use Keezel as a upload VPN device. Sonos will not connect to it.

I am currently implementing Wifi Mac Address filtering in my current company and our sonos runs off of wifi. With saying that I have to enter the wifi mac address into the WLAN controller to allow access for the sonos to still work. I know they say that you will just need to +1 to the end of the Serial number/ wired mac that is on the bottom sticker. However the issue I am having is some of the MAC's end in letters and I cannot +1 them unless lets say it ends in A then the wireless is B? Thanks for any help on this issue.

Currently have a Yamaha RX-V665 powering a 5-channel surround system in the MAIN room, and 3 pairs of speakers (with impedance-matching volume sliders) on the receiver's Zone2 speaker outputs. Plan to add a Sonos ZP80 as input source to the receiver. So playing music from Sonos involves turning on the receiver and setting it to input Sonos (one button on programmable universal remote, no problem there,) then using the Sonos app (or CR100 controller) to select & play music. OK all's well. It's when we go turn things OFF that I'm at a loss. If one simply turns off the main receiver (ALL OFF on the remote,) of course the sound stops, but the Sonos is still streaming music (using bandwidth) unless one explicitly remembers to stop it from the app/controller. One thought I have is to use an automatic power switch to power ON the Sonos when the receiver is powered on, and power down when the receiver goes off. But the delay at startup may be an issue... Another thought

I’m loving my sonos play 1 and sound bar so much that I’ve purchased three Connect amps to tie in my hard-wired speakers and run everything off Sonos. I’ve got my Connect amps sitting beside my router and they aren’t being recognised or connecting. Tried all troubleshooting. Ended up connecting one via Ethernet, but don’t have any more spare ports on router to connect the other two. Secondary issue, now that one connect amp is connected via Ethernet, this is working but I now can’t find my other older sonos products on the app. Tried my two different controller devices. Driving me nuts.

Amazon Echo sounds interesting. It would be great if this could be used as a controller for Sonos.

Hello. I would like to formally make an enhancement request. Please, please, please, add a password protection mechanism to the Sonos Controller. I work in a variety of offices that have spent a small fortune on Sonos equipment, and we have the same problem at each office: People hijack the Sonos, skip other people's music, play inappropriate music, tweak the volume, etc. A simple password protection mechanism would rid me of so many headaches without the need for advanced network configuration changes.

Hi there, I run a recreational facility (20,000 ft) with two large gyms as well as a number of smaller rooms. We have a five Unifi access points throughout the building providing both guest and private wireless networks. In addition, to the Unifi access points, there are a four access points for an ISP provided public wireless network. All of our instructors use Android tablets to take attendance and play music for their classes. I am looking to setup a number of Sonos Connect in order to make it easier for the instructors to play music in different areas without having to plug in an Aux cable and leave their tablets next to the speaker systems. If I hard wire ALL of the Sonos connect will they turn off their built in wireless and use my wired network to communicate? I don't want to add any more WiFi devices if possible since we already have some issues with congestion due to the large number of access points and users (at peak times we have hundreds of users in the facility,

When I first installed my Sonos it was required all the components be on the same subnet (no routing). I've now grown a more sophisticated routed network at home. is there anything I could run on a linux box to bridge the traffic between 2 subnets so that the sonoses are reachable from either wireless system?

Hi All, Looking for a little help as my audo guy bailed before finishing my setup. Here is what I got set up and what I am looking to do; sorry it is long. I have a Denon AVR 4520ci. Currently, I have a connect hooked up for my living room 5.1 surround as well as 3 sonos AMPS which control my dining room, game room and backyard speakers (Sonaray SR1 System). The connect is currently hooked up to my Audio in #5 for CD which will play my Apple TV, TV and stream my sonos to living room. The sonos amp with 55W was not enough to power my backyard speakers, so, I ordered a connect to hook up to my zone 2 in hopes that my receivers wattage is enough to power the backyard without an additional AMP as it states it is 190w x 9 channels. My question is, assuming my wattage is enough for the backyard speakers is; how do i connect Zone 2 to the backyard so that the backyard can be grouped to play living room, dining room, game room music as well as music on its own zone? Also, does anyone

I have a sonos connect for several play speakers throughout my home. The connect is located in my music room (but I do not have a speaker in this room). However, I have a nice system that I would like to have the option of running through. Can I run the connect through my Zoom R24 recorder and then into some Yamaha HS5 powered speakers? Before I try to connect any of this, I thought it might be best to get some input about whether this is possible to do, and if it is, how to do it. Thanks in advance.

I have just purchased a vintage Rock-Ola Princess Jukebox. I would like to connect it to my existing Sonos system so that the records being played can be heard throughout the house. How can I do this?

This may be a fairly obvious suggestion, but I thought others might benefit from the suggestion. I recently set up a Velop system with the same Name/Login as my main router (wireless integrated unit). In this setup you'll have Sonos components 'each' of the Same Named side/by/side networks. The solution, for me, was to switch the Velop network into Bridge Mode (losing some functionality, but none that's not resident on my main router anyway). Thus it effectively does what I want - which is to replicate the same login credentials throughout the house, but to give much better performance. Literally as soon as I made this change my Sonos system was all online - no need to turn off and then back on, like was instructed in the 'help' (and actually very helpful) Sonos support video. There are other conversations about wiring in at least one Sonos speaker in Boost mode - but that's not what I'm talking about here, and figured that if this could help at least one person it was worth s

No sound out of speakers but the headphone works. I found a blown fuse on the board. When i transfer the fuse the speakers are working again. Can some one tell me what kind of fuse it is. See picture,

I am planning to plug all speakers Play1 6pieces with cable. Recently finished new building and did arrangements for putting in all the speakers on a cable. All cables directed to my garage where all the internet and tv is connected in a media consumer unit. From my garage the plan was to have all connections into a switch and out from the switch to the living room on one cat5 string to the Router position.The playbase is on same spot as Router. Is here anyone that can give me good directions on what is best to do. Reason for not using wireless is to not loosing any signals due to thick walls etc. Also if available some kind of mapping of how the best way is to connect things

Since the sonos system is always plugged in and switched on, I'd like to use it as anti-burgler tool. I'd like my sonos system makes noise and plays tv-like-sounds and fake conversations, as someone is in my home. A function that can be activated when I'm not at home. Or at least a way to program radio playing at some hours in the day.

Where can I find info on the original spec of the initial ZP100's . Output , channel etc..

Hi Everyone, New to the forum, but not to Sonos. As a Dealer, I'm just beating the bushes to be able to control the Sonos equip. with High end Automation gear like Vantage Controls makes. Anyone written or seen this available? Thanks in advance for the help!! Aster

How can I wirelessly connect the new Sonos One with my Bang and Olufsen Beovision 11 Television.

Background: My Sonos network consists of of 6 rooms and 13 players. My Playbar is connected to my home wired network with an Ethernet cable. The remaining players are all connected via the Sonos mesh network. All 13 players are on network 192.168.128.0. My Sonos system works great. My computers are also on the 192.168.128.0 network and the conputer-based Sonos controller finds my Sonos network without issue. Recently I set up a new Lynksys Velop wireless mesh network. The Velop primary node is also connected to the 192.168.128.0 network with an Ethernet cable. The Velop wireless network is network 192.168.1.0. My portable devices all connect to the new Velop wireless network also without issue. The problem is that when I try to run the Sonos controller from my Android phone, it does not find my Sonos network. Well I'm pretty sure it's because the Sonos network is on 192.168.128.0 and my Android controller is on 192.168.1.0 and I understand that the Controller must be on

I recently got a new TV and have a Sonos PlayBar. I'm not able to control the TV volume with either the TV remote or the cable box remote. The only way that I can change the volume when watching TV, is through the Sonos app. Any ideas on how I would be able to get the volume connected back into the TV remotes?
