Will the new sonos allow me to shuffle album tracks?

How can I create 2 or more separate user profiles to separate Sonos speakers on the same network?I mean on a large villa using about 20 Sonos units, can I create separate profiles to avoid user to have access to all speakers?

I have non Sonos speakers that I would like to use and control via my Sonos app. Bluetooth. Is this possible?

I have an arc and 2 ERA 300 units which have all connected fine however when I go to Conect the sub it gets stuck at the stage where you hold your device alongside the sub product above the indicator light as in the app. It just keeps saying can’t find the sub and you keep hitting refresh, but no Joy. 

I have 2x Era 300 in one room. There are very annoying issues:Bluetooth playback from the phone 2m away is dropping one channel, restoring the next second Playback from windows media library is only able to play one song in the folder, then I have to manually advance. Playlists are needed, but there is no possibility to add those into any sort of playlist! Playback from windows media library - can’t play FLAC files, error 701.

Hi Here is my setup. In the kitchen I have an Era 300. In the dining room I have an Amp with ceiling speakers. Also in the dining room I have a TV, and I have the TV connected into that same Amp.In reality, the kitchen and dining room are actually the same rooms it’s a long room and we have one half as carpet and one half as hard flooring, so we tend to call them two names.Also downstairs we have the lounge which has a pair of Era 300.Bear with me :)I often listen to music and I have the Amp, Era 300, and the Era 300 pair all in a group, so I can walk around the house listening to the same music. But when I want to watch TV, I watch it whilst cooking dinner. So I’m in the kitchen, watching the TV that’s in the dining room. But I cant’t hear it because the sound only comes out of the Amp. I want it to also come out of the ETA 300 in the kitchen.Yes, I can choose to also include Grouped players, but that means the TV audio is also playing in the lounge, which makes no sense as my wife wi

Hi there! I’ve been having significant issues with my Sonos system for the last few months; these issues have happened in the past but always resolved themselves. Issues such as rooms dropping completely from the UI, rooms not being able to be added to a group, rooms dropping music when grouped, not being able to connect to SiriusXM, etc.I’ve been doing a lot of searching and reading here and on Reddit, and decided to wire as many of my devices as possible and move off SonosNet to my wifi network. Some info about my system:2 Arcs, each paired with an Amp and Sub (2 TV rooms) 2 Ones paired in one room 3 additional Ones in other rooms (screened porch, garage, kids room) 2 additional Amps (patio, gym) 9 Ports 1 Move, 1 Roam Ubiquiti dream machine with many managed switches and 7 backhauled APs, latest protocol. My network is humming, we’ve invested to make it awesome as I work remotely and can say it was not the problem.On Saturday, I turned off wifi on every wired device and I also remov

I am well aware the WD100 has been out of support for some time and therefore only works with the firmware of the period.Nonetheless, I would be very interested to add one to my system even if it means downgrading the firmware and/or app. According to the community post below it was still possible in 2018:Has anyone had any success in downgrading the firmware to allow WD100 compatibility and does anyone have links to the required firmware?

I have a sonos system at home and plan to setup a sonos speaker in my office  - both are different wifi networks - how do i set it up in the s2 app ?

I have two amps in wireless mode. I’m trying to redo my network and so wired them to the router/switch and got them to WM0. When I connect to my new network though it can’t find them to control and if I do the “fix” link in the app it says a wired component can not connect to a wireless network. I have to connect to my old wireless network to “see” and control them.  I finally just reset them over to my new wireless network but I was hoping to have them wired and control them from the app no matter what network I was on. Anyone get how wired works and can explain it?

Yesterday, I lost one symphonics speaker inside my  home network. And during to try configuration this speaker, I lost all Sonos  Speakers (7). My phone is an iPhone 13 with the last update. This my configAfter many hours and chat with someone on phone  and she gave me advice to separate the WiFi  frequency off the Internet box, that I did, I were llocked and with no possibility to reinstall the configuration. I should use Android phone and to iinstall the configure. After 3 hours, it's working good a new. But my topic is just to inform the problem with the apps who stay lock with old configure and couldn't install correctly the configuration, because it's search old system and can not arrive to associate speakers. Impossible to erase system and to reinstall a new, even on website. To try to reset on factory, don't change anything. When cut the power of the speakers, the apps search to install it again.After to have the config back, I try a new to reinstall on an ios, but nothing works

[To avoid any confusion: this is about static IP addresses, not reserved IP addresses!]Is it possible to set/unset static IP addresses within Sonos devices?The reason I ask is that I have just been checking in my router to see what internal IP addresses are currently in use, and I find that one of my Sonos devices out of a total of eleven has an IP address which is not within my DHCP range. It’s actually permanently on an IP address that I have (for many years) had statically assigned to another device.What I would like to do is to stop it from using that IP address, and get it to request an IP address via DHCP - in my assigned DHCP range - like the other ten devices do.Note that this device is one of four in my system that are connected via Ethernet to my network.[As above, this is the distinction between static and reserved IP addresses: To set a reserved IP address, you configure your router’s DHCP server to recognise a device’s MAC address and always give it a specific IP address w

Looking to purchase a turntable to hardwire to my Sonos 5..looking at angel horn  wishing looks a lot like the PT1 but half the price .  It has a pre amp .Does anyone know if this turntable  (angels horn 3600L (upgraded to bluetooth) will work with Sonos 5 (model S100)  RCA  jack ?   

Hello All,I got Sonos Zoneplayer 5, not sure of the generation number, but the volume selector is on top of the machine. I bought it on an impulse from Ebay, as I was looking for an external speaker to play my ipod. I have an old (big) ipod, 80GB size. Over 10 years old, easily.All I want to do is plug my ipod in with an 1/8 inch, which I did, to listen. Nothing. No sound.So, did I buy a brick? This thing is useless at this point. What are my options for using this?Any help would be appreciated, and thank you …Gregg

I’ve got JRiver Media and have been able to downsample my 24bit librry items to 16 bit but I haven’t found a way to downsample the same files from 96K to 48K   any Ideas?   Yes, I know Sonos will support 24 Bit and I will leave them 24 Bit if I can find a way to change the sample rate.Appreciate any suggestions.thanks

First, thanks again to all the folks that have helped me in the past.  I’m looking to re-group after hours spent trying different things.  I will try to provide all the detail I can and apologies for length.  I built a house about 4 years ago.  The a/v guy I hired introduced me to Sonos and I bought a lot of new equipment.   I have a media cabinet in the first floor where he ran a bunch of wired speakers to different Connect Amps for different locations. I have a Unifi set up with a managed switch in that same closet.  Also in that same closet is a Unifi access point.  In total I have:-7 Connect Amps (6 of them in that same closet; 1 is in a garage feeding some outdoor wired speakers)-2 Playbars-9 Sonos One Speakers-3 Sonos Sub-woofersWe have a house that is about 6k to 6,500 square feet.  Three levels.  Outdoor area we are trying to cover.  We live almost smack dab in the middle of 150 acres.  No one around us, so no outside interference.  Just whatever is in the house/garage. We have

Just hung a Samsung Terrace 55 inch outdoor TV.  Need advice on the best way to connect sound output to my outdoor sonos ceiling speakers with the least number of wires or accessories.  The TV is very far from my Sonos Amp.  Hoping there is a way to do it via WiFi.

Hi all,i Have recently added the Sonos Port and a Project T1 turntable to my living room setup consisting on an ARC/SUB GEN 3/ and 2 Sonos rears, I was wondering is there is anyway i can link any played music on Sonos system in living room to my REVO SUPERCONNECT bluetooth radio in my kitchen?would be wonderful to have the same music in both rooms.many thanks for all/any replies!

Seemingly a common question, but inconsistent answers out there. I have a traditional stereo set-up: amp, wired speakers, wired subwoofer, wired turntable. Question is: can I add, in the same room, two ERA300’s and have everything play in sync? Or will the sound from the Sonos speakers inevitably be delayed? If it is possible to sync it all, what hardware to I need? (Current amp is a Cambridge CXA81 with fairly robust connection options.)  Thanks. 

HelloI want to start this thread in hopes that others may add to it.Quite often topics are posted in the community regarding Sonos products not showing in the Sonos app. Sometimes, you may see a question mark (?) indicating that one (or more) of the components in a home theater setup is missing such as:Living Room  (LS+?+Sub) Arc In the above example the Right Surround (RS) is missing. Typically, the issue involves a network issue. In addition to other recommended trouble shooting steps setting a Static/Reserve IP Address for each Sonos product is highly recommended.Truth be told that’s easily said and done if you know how. I’m a visual person. If you have never set a Static/Reserve IP Address you may be wondering how to access the right area in your routers Admin page and of course then perform the operation. This initial post will focus on Asus Routers. However, the general procedure is generic to most routers with a few exceptions (*). The first step is to access your routers web ba

There were problems earlier this year with Wifi Mesh networks running in parallel with Sonos. Are these solved in general? Does anyone have experience with running Asus ZenWifi AX XT8 and Sonos?

I recently setup a WiFi extender and after much troubleshooting, I managed to group my Sonos Move with my Sonos Arc setup (connected to router via ethernet cable), which uses a pair of Era 300s as surrounds. Earlier, I wasn’t able to group them due to the error message saying that a speaker needing to be connected to the router despite the Arc being connected to the router. I didn’t know this was an issue with extenders but my WiFi doesn’t quite extend throughout the whole house so I was hoping it would help with slow/spotty internet.Anyway, I am hoping I don’t have anymore issues with grouping my Sonos speakers despite the extender but I am hoping someone can clarify/confirm I shouldn’t because the Arc is connected to the router.(In the future, I might want to extend my set to include an Era 100, for example. I’m also hoping I won’t have issues with the Move again.)If this might become a problem I need to worry about then I would assume I should drop the extender altogether.

We bought recliners that and speakers in them. They have an AUX port. We want to sync them with our Sonos Arc, play one, sub surround sound. Is there a way?

Be it other peer integrators here in this Sonos community, or Sonos staff if they happen to look at this community page?Thanks!https://community.ui.com/questions/BEGGING-for-an-official-press-released-step-by-step-How-to-configure-Unifi-with-Sonos-from-Ubiquiti/4cfdba27-12f6-4237-b113-b338fa473ac8Is this correct that there’s no true way to foolproof 100% correctly configure Sonos on managed switch networks? Per the dated way of networking protocols in software wrting that Sonos does STP wise?
