I noticed that my sonos player can display current track info for PLS Streams, but not for HLS streams. Is there a way to make it work for HLS streams too? What needs to happen on the broadcasting end and/or the SMAPI end to display current track info?

Hi  I have a Sonos Beam gen 2 + 2 Era 100 and I would like to know if I can add 2 Sonos One for the back ?

Examining a choice for Sonos upgrade and wondering about the following set-up in the main living room:-Arc and Sub-mini for TV AV or possibly Sub if Sub Mini is not a good match for the Arc.Amp to deliver music to conventional speakers. My question is can a single Sonos sub be made to work (seamlessly) with the Arc when watching TV (80% of use) and then work with music from the Amp when listening to Sonos music (TV switched off).I see that neither Sonos sub has a wired subwoofer audio input, so I wonder if this is not possible.I do have a hi-fi style subwoofer which could easily be used with the AMPbut I then end up with two subs in the living room. That is unless the ARC is good enough to be used on it’s own without any additional sub (which seems like a compromise to me).Thanks as always for the great advice and experience shared here.

Here is what you need to know to connect your Sonos devices to your T-Mobile wireless internet. This example covers adding a Sonos One and a Sonos Move to the WiFi network. It assumes you have already used the Sonos App to attempt connecting Sonos devices to the T-Mobile wireless internet WiFi network with a T-Mobile FAST 5688W 5G gateway with default settings, which has failed. These instructions should also work for other Sonos products. However, these two Sonos devices, with and without an ethernet port, are used to understand the difference.T-Mobile FAST 5688W 5G gateway default settings:*Dual frequency bands 5GHz and 2.4GHz set to Automatic*WPA version set to WPA2/WPA3*WPA encryption mode set to AES*Network set to NOT HiddenIn this scenario, the Sonos One must be connected to the WiFi Network first since the Sonos Move does not have an Ethernet port.You will need a Sonos product with an ethernet port. Suppose you only have Sonos products without an ethernet port. You must purchase

I am installing a Google Nest (Battery) Doorbell and I need to hear it ring! Can I use any of the Sonos Smart speakers to link with doorbell and sound the chime. Not keen on buying more kit when I already have two Sonos Move and a Sonos One SL speaker at home.

Hi,I am setting up a new Sonos-system with Arc, 2xETA300 and Sub. My Sony-TV only has HDMI with ARC, not eARC and therefore I only get 5.1 to the soundbar. I use Netflix and Viaplay on a AppleTV (4K).My question is: Is it possible to get Atmos to the soundbar with this equipment? I see that some people says that the Hdfury Arcana-adapter will solve this, has anyone in the forum tried this?  

Hi, I have two Move-s in stereo pair which are working great. I would sometimes like to use one of the speakers in bluetooth mode (connected to Iphone). When I use left speaker (from stereo pair) in bluetooth mode everything works great. However, when I try to use right speaker in bluetooth mode, it connects to Iphone, but no there is no sound.   I have tried to factory reset that speaker, and the problem persisted. I have also tried to separate stereo pair, then both speakers were working in bluetooth mode (separately of course) without a problem. I have also tried to switch left/right speakers when creating stereo pair, and then the other speaker was not working in bluetooth mode.   Does anybody have similar experience? Is it a software bug?   Many thanks for all the help!   Kind regards,

I've bought a gen on EBay (selled as gen 3) but I'm not sure about the gen.Could you tell me the gen with the serial number please?Thanks in advance  Moderator edit: removed pictures with serial numbers (but recorded them).

I have read a ton of threads on various access point issues and nothing seems to be helping.I have a network with a main wireless network (Ch11) and a TP Link EAP-610 Outdoor AP (Ch1). The AP works for other devices and has the same SSID password etc.. Auto stuff, fairness and all those things are disabled. I have 2 AMPs One is hardwired to the network and works fine.  The second amp won’t set up properly it won’t set up on the AP I set it it up wired, and it connects just fine to the main wireless.  When I move it to the APs location, it seems to not connect at all and the app can’t find it Thoughts? 

Waiting on a response from Level II support. I am trying to setup my Sonos Port, and it fails when asking to press the pairing button. I have tried:Wi-Fi and Ethernet.Multiple Setup devices.Disabling 5ghzEnabling DHCP snoopingEnabling IGMP snoopingEnabling MulticastEnabling STPSetting DNS server to defaultWPS2 and WPS2/3 I can see the device is connected with a valid IP and access the web portal. What am I missing?

I had my system set up to stream audio through Roku including an an amp for ceiling speakers, arc, and sub. It all worked great and could also stream music through the Sonos app on my phone through these speakers. I had to change my Roku device and the surround sound stopped working. After having it fixed now my Sonos app can’t find the arc and amplifier. Am I missing something? 

I have been advised to change the Sonos net channel via the S2 app to 6 but it is greyed out and therefore not possible. Due to this I connected the sub to the router with an ethernet cable but it made no difference. The channel is currently set to 1 but it was showing as 11 yesterday which suggests it has changed ( it has not been misread). Any suggestions as to how to remedy this would be appreciated. 

Has anyone got Sonos working with Optus broadband? I have just switched and they appear to be incompatible.

Hola a todos, quiero saber si en los sonos Move (ya están emparejados en mi red de internet) se puede escuchar música desde cualquier clase de app (YouTube/Spotify etc) o solo se puede con aplicaciones premium, gracias

Hi,I’ve got a job where the customer has installed an ARC behind an acoustic screen..Video is provided by a projector so there is no  E ARC support. He is currently using air play to get the sound from Apple TV though the Arc but wants to now add Sky stream to the system.. I can’t find any way to get the sound from Sky stream to play via the ARC.. Any ideas.. ?? Cheers

Does iphone version matter for trueplay setup?

Hi, I have recently renewed my Plusnet account and was sent a new Hub 2 Router which I believe is the same as the BT router.I have tried most of the day to reconfigure my Sonos Beam to the router via Wi-Fi but get as the last stage of the setup after I enter my Wi-Fi password and then get an error that Sonos can connect to the router. I have  changed the settings ad per the support page but no joy. (Eg disabled 5Mhz mode, ensured spa, and the correct channels are enabled.I have then tried the old router and reconfigured the Sid and password to match the new router but get the same issue.  I have tried configuring from iPad and iPhone. Any suggestions on how I can fix this?

So, Airplay 2 can definitely handle 16bit 44.1, and S2 speakers can do up to 24bit 48, but during Airplay2 playback Roon’s Signal path thing (see screenshot) always shows the playback as being “High Quality” and not “Lossless” because Roon can’t guarantee what the Airplay2 device is doing on it’s end. Some AP2 devices will always need to convert to 48khz before playing etc. , so that’s understandable.This is not the case with Sonos Streaming, it shows as lossless in Roon signal path, but roon and sonos streaming have not played well together for some time, whereas Airplay 2 has been rock solid.So my question is, does anyone know for fact if The Sonos speaker is ever taking a 16/44.1 Airplay 2 signal and manipulating it (bringing it up to 48Khz etc.)If the answer is that it’s playing 44.1 16 bit with no manipulation, then Airplay 2 is the clear winner over Sonos streaming when it comes to playing off Roon. Otherwise, struggling with Roon to Sonos Streaming direct might be worth it to ke

Recently updated wifi and need to change on system but not sure how... help! 

So I wanted to play my decks but coming through the Sonos throughout my house and as I’m sure everyone’s aware it’s been said it’s impossible, however I’ve found a way!!!  so connecting the decks to the Sonos Ray which has a optical input so you’ll need a rca cable splitter to optical  ( this connects the decks to the Sonos ray )  now with this set up there is a delay from the decks headphones and the Sonos playing .so to sort this you’ll need to purchase a lip sync corrector And a aux to rca cable x 2 of these When that’s connected I found my deck headphones where super quite so I bought an amp to make them louder . so from the decks to the Sonos ray is rca to optical leadand to sort the delay is a aux to rca cable plugging into a lip sync corrector which then plugged into a headphone amplifier via rca to aux lead then plug your headphones into that  Links below https://cpc.farnell.com/cyp/au-d18/lip-sync-corrector-adjustable/dp/AV21325https://cpc.farnell.com/pro-signal/psg3414/hi-res

Can’t get sound to come through Sony KD75X81KU when connected to Sonos AMP. Tried switching to TV speaker in settings but automatically goes to Sonos Audio system.

Hello,i am setting up a patio. My amp is inside the house in a media closet. I understand that if I want to have a sonos soundbar pair with an amp it would need to be in the same general area so this is not possible for me. What I do have is the ability to run any lines I want from the TV to my media closet. I want to use a sonos amp because the rest of the house is Sonos. So I am having trouble figuring out how to have a sound bar, rear speakers and sub connected to the amp and my TV.
