Advanced setups

Hi there, I’ve seen a thread that covers off my challenge - but it was started years ago, and regardless, never seems to have been resolved.   Given the adoption of Starlink as an ISP, it might be time to revisit.SITUATION:  I’m using the Starlink Mesh - 2 nodes - router and mesh (yes I’ve seen some challenges using Starlink with SONOS, but I’ve run into no problem- and generally it works ‘great’), but when I try to tie SONOS units together ‘play everywhere’ or attempt to join in units in other parts of the house - being serviced but the mesh node - I'm presented with the “Wireless range extender” error.   Those units connected to the mesh node do not play.  I live in a large house, with plaster and lathe walls, and NO consumer router can provide enough coverage - hence the mesh.  I did previously use the Google Mesh - but with the change in ISP, would prefer just to use the OEM router and mesh system.  QUESTION: Does anyone know if there’s a workaround/solution to this (other than usi

I use a WDMyCloud drive as a music server for my collection of digitised vinyl and also for iTunes. Recently I recopied my iTunes folder to it and I can no longer get Sonos to recognise it.I copied the entire folder including subfolders (iTunes Music, Album Artwork etc.) and library files directly from my MacBook to  /Public/Shared Music on the WD drive, not from iTunes, and set the path in Sonos Preferences to //WDMyCloud/Public/Shared Music/iTunesAfter a few minutes updating I get a window telling me that the files are not available.I guess either the path is wrong/incomplete, or there is a problem with the iTunes folder, but from there on I’m in the dark rather!!What am I doing wrong?? I would be most grateful fo any suggestions .

Hi - I’ve just changed broadband provider, and I can’t connect my Sonos devices to the new network.  I have a Sonos 2 app, but the ‘network’ options are greyed out.  When I try to connect I get messages saying I need to ensure my ‘mobile device is connected to the internet and on the same WiFi as Sonos’.  But I can’t get Sonos on to the new Wifi.  Any ideas please?  Thanks

I have a firewall between my wifi network and my wired network. While they are two separate IP blocks, the firewall permits bidirectional traffic between them (I plan to lock things down once I have everything working).  I have an older Sonos V1 system on the wired network. When I try to locate it using the Sonos V1 app on my mobile device which is on the wifi network it does not discover it. What do I need to do on my firewall to allow the controller app running on the wifi network to discover the Sonos system on the wired network?Thanks

Sonos roam not powering on, it’s been on the charger for days and it’s still not powering on. I haven’t been using it for some time now, need help finding what to do.

Sonos claims that Bluetooth wireless headphones are not compatibility with Sonos. However, there is legitimate-looking info on the web stating Sonos will work with BT headphones via a BT transmitter device plugged into a Connect box.Does anyone have experience with making this setup work?

As a TV Viewer, I would like Sonos to pair my speaks for Surround sound. As a Turntable Listener, I would like Sonos to accept input from ‘Line-in’ and send it to the other speakers.As both, I would like the ability to have the Sonos automatically configure to my current mode, similar to most other high-fi units.

Sonos Community,I have a Sonos Whole House Music system with Port, Playbar, and (4) One SL’s. The system is configured into 3 rooms, and my main music source is my music library on an Apple MacBook Pro running MacOS Sonoma 14.3, The system is working fine. I added a playlist to Apple Music of songs in my music library, but this new playlist does not show up in my Sonos Library Imported Playlists, and other playlists I don’t use I want to delete, I can’t delete old playlists, or add the new playlist to Sonos with S2 version 15.11. Any ideas? Thanks.

My home has an existing Legrand audio system. Is there a document to guide how to change from existing to Sonos? 

My music library resides on my DROBO 5N, and it was working very well with my SONOS S1 system. The DROBO was taken offline for a while, and now I cannot get SONOS to recognize the path - I am sure it is the path that I used before. I checked the path from the Windows 10  network folder. The syntax is perfect.  Not sure what I am missing? Any help would be appreciated. 

My tv audio is not playing while directly wired to my sonos connect. The sonos plays in all speakers in the rest of the house (not the audio from that tv though). I have wired speakers in the ceiling, wired sonos speakers, and moves connected all over the property. This happened after changing internet provider. 

I have 7 Sonos speakers (1 Play 3, 4 Play 1s, 2 Ones), a Connect for my stereo, and a Boost.  The Boost is wired by ethernet cord to my Unifi Mesh network.  I keep my music stored on a Synology NAS with a Plex database on it.  My music collection is large and I have outgrown the ability to use the Sonos Music library and the Apple music limitations, so I have turned to Plex.  I can play music seamlessly from Apple Music on the Sonos App, but the Plex connection is frequently “lost” while trying to play music from Plex on the sonos App or thru Plexamp.  I’ve been on the phone multiple times with Sonos and run diagnostics and they don’t see any problems.  I can play music on my phone with Plexamp at home and anywhere I travel with no issues.  I don’t know if I am missing any settings on my wifi network or what.  I’d love to get some insight from others facing similar issues

Hello everyone I was designing my apartment interiors and wanted idea how to setup a speaker system predominantly for music and bit of Tv the space is little diverse as the Tv is placed in the family area and I also need coverage for the whole room for music as I would also be using my personal kitchen and dining alsoHave attached the picture  

I have a Sonos amp that I am enjoying with my hifi speakers But I’m some what disappointed with the lack of multi inputs.  I really want to connect cd, tape & phono.  Its been eating at me I just want to have it all there so I can use the other sonos speakers I get the urge to play vintage.  Could I use a multi input pre amp to the Sonos Amp? 

Hi all! I need the communities help and guidance with sizing and understanding Sonos speaker and amplifier setup in an extra large open space.I have been tasked with outfitting a large 2800sqft room (33’x85’ rectangular with sloped ceilings from 10’-14’ at the peak).  The idea is to install a bunch of Sonos in-ceiling speakers which will all play from the same music/input.  The room also doesn’t need to be excessively loud, like a concert hall, but it would still be nice to “fill the air” completely.Please help and guide me with selecting appropriate sizing, quantity and amplifiers to power these outputs and thanks in advance for your help! 

Hello All Fellow Sonotians !! I have a fairly substantial Sonos system (12 devices on S2) with a fairly substantial mesh network all in a fairly substantial (5000+ sqft) home. I have 6- EERO 6+ spread throughout 2 adjacent structures (main Home and shop).  I have 2- isp here both xfinity gig plus, and an Att fiber 1 gig.  To reel back For years I had the older Eero 2nd gen, spread over here as well as only xfinity. Life was grand Sonos was seamless. Never skipping, never missing a beat. EERO stopped updating the older routers so I removed these and replaced with the 6 plus units. Life was still ok so I thought , the music was fine at night or on the weekends. I noticed it started to skip more and more frequently… so I called in xfinity and had the lines checked thinking sure I’m perhaps loosing speed at peak intervals… well all was as good as could be.. I’m testing out well over 800mbps usually, at 4-5 pm on weekdays it drops off sharply so I call xfinity they say there is nothing they

Has anyone worked out a way to connect to Starlink? All my speakers will show up, then disappear. When I pair them again it really struggles to connect to the wifi. Please help!

Hi, we have a household with 4 kids, which is pushing the whole sonos system to the limit, which is now why i will have to change the setup.first, many rooms have a arc-sonos1 twice and subwoofer setup, so that is 4 devices per such room, which is how we easily get to 32+ devices. Add a few amps for outdoor music, some moves and bathroom music..i have a unifi mesh network, the sonos support mentioned it would be more stable to use sonosnet instead of wifi in this case. I tried that years ago, was very unstable, so am a bit cautious. I have ensured the sonos devices are all attached to a designated access point, to avoid the unsupported roaming. First question is any tips or experiences with sonosnet with a lot of devices?secondly, i need to have two households setup to go above 32. I have looked around on this forum, and see different experiences and failures and success with this on the same network. What is the best way to do it, any specific actions to make this work and maintainabl

I'm working a garage project and we want the front lounge area to be some place people can hang out in. I have an Arc, G3 Sub and 2 Era 300's for the rear channel in surround. I'll also want to use this system for playing music. The room is approximately 25'x60', 1500 sq ft. Image of layout https://imgur.com/a/vdE21fL do i want to place the era 300's in position A or position B? A is the approximate midway point in the room, and B is about 60' away from the TV. If A is the best place, do i want to mount the era's on the wall and pointing into the room like 1 or put them on stands and have them point at the TV like 2? I tried calling Sonos, but it was quickly clear the person answering the phone was going to be on no help. any input/insight is appreciated! 

Currently with BT and BT discs with too many problem,s throughout the house including a fragile SONOS network.  Have tried so many fixes.Ditching BT for Starlink and want to know what you think the best mesh system is that will support Sonos plus, other stuff in the house.. (Arlo etc)

I’ve read through everything here:https://support.sonos.com/en-us/article/connect-sonos-to-a-new-router-or-wi-fi-networkhttps://en.community.sonos.com/ask-a-question-228987/tips-for-common-sonos-problems-6815645But none of this standard stuff has resolved my problem.Here’s what I THINK is happening:I connected a wifi mesh network to my existing modem/router My phone is now connected to this mesh network But speakers are still trying to connect to modem/router (my guess) I changed the name of the modem/router to distinguish between the 2 wifi signals (modem/router vs. wifi mesh) I need to move everything over the the mesh. But Sonos/S2 can’t find 6 out of my 7 products, even after using all the usual troubleshooting tips in the links above Seems like the products are stuck in limboI’m tempted to do a factory reset and start from zero, but I read an article advising against this.And the last thing I want is to call Sonos support. Didn’t have a good experience a few months ago.Any ideas?

I just purchased a mesh network, Linksys Velop Pro 7.   The primary node works with Sonos perfectly.  However, when I turn on the second node the Sonos Controller can no longer browse music on Pandora or Amazon.   I’ve talked to support at Sonos and Linksys withoiut any resolution.   Any ideas?  

After speaking with Sonos i have been advised to get a mesh network as opposed to the TP link extenders I have.  I am looking at the following Mesh network - should it work on that?TP-LINK DECO M5 (3-PACK) AC1300 DUAL-BAND WHOLE HOME MESH WI-FI

Just purchased a house that has a complete Russound audio system. I would like to keep the existing zones the previous owner had. I am by no means educated on home audio. Based on the pictures above I am assuming I need an Sonos Amp per “zone”. Anyway I can integrate the Port into this existing set up. Also open to any recommendations. I appreciate the help. 

Ok, this will be long but I’ll try to include all info needed. I have a Sonos arc, two Sonos 300’s and the sub in my living room. I recently got a Lovesac sactional with their soundbar, speakers and sub. I’d like for both the Lovesac speakers and the Sonos speakers to work together (all speakers working at the same time). I’d prefer to use my Sonos soundbar. I read that I needed the Sonos port which I got but it appears that I have to plug it into the stealthtec sound bar. Regardless, if I take off the arc and use the stealthtec bar, my 300’s and sub don’t work but if I use the Sonos arc, I can’t find a place on the stealthtec sub to plug the port in. Please help! I was told this can be done but now I’m not so sure. Thank you in advance for your help!
