Thanks, I had a bridge connecting the devices, once I disconnected the bridge and reset all the original speakers. I was able to set up the sub and all the speakers as a new system.

thanks again

Yes, as long as they are all set up on the Sonos S2 app.

Thanks guitarsuperstar,

the S2 app says that some of the devices aren’t compatible with this Sonos 2 app?

The Playbar and Play:1 or One is compatible with both the S1 and S2 app. Read more here:

Unless, of course, you have more Sonos devices that you didn’t tell us about, beyond the Sonos One/PLAY:1s and PLAYBAR.

To be clear, there is no Sonos 1 speaker, but as GuitarSuperstar suggests, both the Sonos One and the PLAY:1 are compatible with S2. 

Yep, the BRIDGE is not S2 compatible. Many, many years ago it was replaced by the newer BOOST, but as you’ve found, it’s not a requirement, your speakers can directly connect to your wifi without using an intermediary.
