Advanced setups

Hello.My setup:Philips 65OLED855/12 (4x ARC, 0x eARC). TV Supports Dolby Atmos/Vision by itself.Connected devices:PS5Nintendo SwitchApple TV 4K+Ethernet 128GB (3rd Gen)Sonos Arc Ultra.Will Orei HDA-927 or Feintech VAX01202 work for Apple TV Atmos content? I don’t need Dolby Atmos for gaming. I only want it for movies. For now, I need to use PCM output, otherwise I get lip sync lag. I followed every other adivice (resetting all devices, setting passthrough etc) and I want to buy something that is cheaper than HD Fury.I know that Orei HDA-935 works, but I don’t need 3 outputs I suppose.

I have a new Beam Gen 2, Sub mini and Era 100. I live in a Care Home and we have an unsecured WiFi network. When setting up the Beam, the process wants me to enter the WiFi password but the network doesn’t have one as it is unsecured. I leave the password field blank and press “continue” but the next message states that it is unable to continue the process.  The help desk says that Sonos equipment only connects to secured networks but I have read on the Sonos website that’s Sonos equipment can connect to unsecured networks. Can anyone advise me of how to complete the setup process. Thank you 

Can you use two Ports in the same system? Used a Port last summer to sync inside music with outside speakers using a designated receiver. Remodeled basement over the winter and connected current Port to basement system and want to keep it as part of that setup. Spring is coming and we will soon need to set up outdoors. Want to use another Port (with its own designated receiver) to stream the same music in the house outdoors. Will two Ports work together to play same music inside, upstairs, downstairs, and outside? Appreciate any feedback on this setup.

Est il possible de synchroniser les réglages son sur tous les systèmes en un réglage ?

Recently purchased a set of ERA100 floor stands but had a real issue with the build. The kit comes with four M5 long screws that were too long to fit securely through the base and into the poles. My build issues continued when one screw got stuck and I had to drill it out and retap the pole with an m6 thread. I cut about a quarter inch of the other 3 long bolts and that did the trick. Good secure fixture top and bottom. The issue as I see it is either the build needs shorter M5 screws or longer threaded receptacles in the poles. My advice would be make sure the long screws go all the way into the poles before you start the build. 

We have two Sonos Ones; one in my partners office and one in my craft room. At present they are in the same system. When we want to play different media in our respective rooms, I can play what I want, but as soon as my partner picks something, it stops my Sonos from playing because he has selected his device. We don’t have a stereo pair set nor are they in a group.Is it possible to set up each device in a separate system so we don’t keep ‘overwriting’ our play preferences. Hope this makes sense!Here are screenshots from our set up in case you need info about devices etc. Any advice gratefully received.

Hola que tal tengo un problema he conectado varios subwoofer sono en un local, en varios puntos donde están los subwoofer he colocado un router ubiquite he creado una red malla para enlazar cada router y así tener una sola red con la que se conecten todo los dispositivos, pero acabo de varios días  se comienzan a desconectar los subwoofer, funcionado una zona y luego se desconectan. Funciona una zona sin y otra no  Moderator Edit - Translation by Google:Hello, I have a problem. I have connected several Sono subwoofers in a room. I have placed a Ubiquiti router at various points where the subwoofers are. I have created a mesh network to link each router and thus have a single network with which all the devices connect. However, for several days now the subwoofers have started to disconnect. One zone works and then they disconnect. One zone works and the other doesn't.

Hello. I am trying to get my Sonos Connect Amp 2 Gen to work better with Apple Airplay. I came across the Eve Play and thought it would be a plug & play setup, but it´s not working. I have connected the Eve Play to the Sonos Connect Amp through the Audio In plugs. Does anyone have the same setup / anyone using Eve Play against the Connect Amp?

I have just updated my home network and introduced access points which gives me great wifi coverage and speeds. Can I put my Sonos devices on a dedicated vlan and remove my boost without causing issues. i.e. my mobile device will be on a different vlan will the app still work

This is an FYI for anyone that is using grandstream wifi access points.  I have mine happily working with sonos.  I have 5 gwn7664’s that are hardwired to my pfsense firewall/router running in bridge mode.  pfsense hands out the ip address.  I made 2 changes to the ssid configuration: ssid → edit → advanced:Multicast/Broadcast Suppression: disabledConvert IP multicast to unicast: active mode And now everything works!  All sonos speakers are running wirelessly.

Hello, it’s me.  Sonos, not Sinis :-( I have an IoT network, my secure network routes to the IoT network but firewall rules prevent access from IoT network to secure net other than established or related.  Can I put Sonos on my IoT network and connect and use it from my secure network?  I was pretty sure I did that yesterday, moved Sonos to the IoT network from secure as I finally got firewall rules working the way I want and all seemed well, but today I went to add a new Sonos device and it said Sonos was on secure network.  So, I seem to remember Sonos didn’t like being on a connected routed segment?  Is that right or no?tanks.

Just reporting a bug really and doing it here as support chat has been impossible to get hold of.Recently upgraded to Asus BT10 wifi 7 mesh system. All my other devices connected fine (including the ancient stuff like nest thermostats, ring doorbells, my 14year old printer etc...) with the exception of my Sonos gearArc, Sub3, symfonisks bookshelves - none of it would connect.Trying to manually reset the network settings and ultimately factory reset didn’t work, it simply wouldn’t connect to the wifi network.Ultimately I found that disabling ‘Wifi 7 Mode’ within the router settings allowed everything to connect back up.  Wifi 7 mode is backwards compatible with older devices, as proven by everything else in my hose connecting to it fine, just evidently not for sonos,  they will not connect whatsoever to an Asus wifi 7 router if Wifi 7 mode is enabled.Hopefully this can make its way to the engineers and they can push out a firmware update for t

Hey guys,I know this has been asked before already, but I couldn't find a recent topic regarding this.At my parents’ place, we have a fairly extensive Sonos setup that has been in place for many years. It’s a mix of older and newer equipment, but everything runs via the S2 controller. Currently, everything operates over SonosNet. A few Sonos devices are wired, with only two devices having Sonos Wi-Fi enabled (to prevent STP issues with Unifi). This setup works reasonably well, but compared to my own setup at home, I notice that everything is much more sluggish. Grouping devices often takes tens of seconds, volume changes don’t register immediately, skipping sons occasionally takes some time, etc. Summary of the setup: They have a main house and a smaller garden house that are far apart in terms of Wi-Fi coverage. Main• 2x 

Comme beaucoup d’entre nous, mon sonos ne peut pas faire de recherche sur NAPSTER en indiquant « la connexion à NAPSTER a été perdue ». J’ai fait tout ce qui était recommandé et rien ne fonctionne. Ces lourdeurs de fonctionnement sont agaçantes et beaucoup plus compliqué que d’autres enceintes connectées…. Merci de trouver une solution.  Moderator Edit - Translation by Google:Like many of us, my sonos cannot search on NAPSTER indicating "the connection to NAPSTER has been lost". I have done everything that was recommended and nothing works. These cumbersome operations are annoying and much more complicated than other connected speakers.... Please find a solution.

Have a fairly old system (1s and 3s). Trying to connect to a new network, and keep running into issues. TP-Link ER605 V2 router, and a Meraki Switch MS130-24P.I have factory reset the Sonos units. New network appears to be running generally fine without any issues. I have changed the settings as advised on the Sonos page for managed switches as best I can (although it is all a bit technical for me).I would simply wire one of the units directly into the router, but according to Sonos, a unit needs to be added to the system via wifi first. But when I try to do this, I can add a unit all the way right until the final stage. After some time adding the unit to the wifi network, it then comes up with message: ‘Your Play1 has been added, but may not appear in your System. If so, unplug the power cord and plug it back in to finish setup from System Settings’. Problem is that when I do this, the unit does not show up in the app, and we have to start again, into a loop.I

Are you hale to use a headphone and sound bar at the same time. My wife and i have different volume tolerance. I would like to listen to a program thru the headphones and have her listen to it thru the sound bar. Is that possible

I have a Sonos amp in a media cupboard. I’m planning to add a sub about 2 metres away. My understanding is it will need to connect directly to the amp’s 5ghz signal. I think this will be fine despite the cupboard? (I could hardwire this sub if necessary). My question is if I want to add a second sub to the same amp, will the sub daisy chain off the other sub which will be in the open within about 4m of it or does it have to go off the amp which will be about 7m in a cabinet (and I assume too far to hold a stable signal and I cannot hardwire). 

I’m interested in learning about how to properly setup a VLAN for my Sonos products over Wifi for my UDM-Pro.  I’ve seen a lot of info about this - but mostly when it comes to wired Sonos.  I want to separate them via Wifi - and still be able to access them from my phone/pcs with the app.   I know it's possible to do this.  I highly suspect if I can do this it will help me isolate the Sonos devices from potential network issues in general (either them misbehaving on my network or other devices misbehaving and impacting the QoS of the Sonos systems).  Anyone have any guides/suggestions that are up to date as of Q1 2025?  I don’t want to have to resort to hacks such as running a python script or anything like that.  Seems like the UDM Pro should be able to facilitate this with basic network configurations.

Will it be possible to add a ndi input for Sonos speaker 

Hi,I’ve two groups of Sonos Gear: Arc Ultra + Era 300s + Sub Gen 3, and a Arc + OneSLsThey are all sitting on a 2.4ghz network, in a separate vlan than the main network (ubiquiti gear)The older gear (Arc, OneSL) show up for Airplay, and I can connect to them fine.The newer gear (Ultra, 300s) show up for Airplay, but I cannot cast to them unless i’m on the same vlan.I saw other posts regarding the Era 100s, and that it seems to be a Sonos issue and how it respons to the request for an Airplay connection.The response I had from Sonos support was “your configuration is unsupported”. Has anyone heard anything different, or found any solution to this?

Hi I have 800TB of AIFF hi-res song files on a 1.5gb microSD for my JM21 DAP portable player. I have a Sonos Amp in wiring closet driving my outdoor speakers, and a Sonos PORT being driven by my turntable. Both port/amp connected via Ethernet to home network Would love to serve up the AIFF files via AMP or Port in highest quality possible, and take advantage of AMP or Port's DAC. What would be best setup for this, the 800tb of files can live anywhere I'm not tied to MicroSD Also open to Raspberry PI setup for NAS if needed Lastly would love to control library via Sonos app, sounds like I can via SMB share, just isn't clear to me if this would run through DAC on AMP or PORT before going to rest of Sonos speakers .. also assume NAS connects directly into back of Port or AMP in 2nd Ethernet port? 

Alright… I hope someone can help me with the following question because so far I couldn't find a clear answer.My current setup: Beam + 2 x One SL + SubThe Beam is connected to the TV and ethernet and the rest of the setup is connected to the Beam through the wireless Sonos system.Currently I'm looking for a vinyl player and would like to buy the Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Turntable (Sonos Edition).I'm thinking I could buy the Sonos Port and connect the Port to my setup through the Beam using the wireless Sonos system. The vinyl player is also connected to the Port (wired) and this way I can use vinyl with my setup. Is this thought process correct? If this works, will it use the whole setup or only the Beam?   

Many have commented that after making changes to their network that their Sonos system is not working properly. Issues range from speakers not being recognized in the Sonos app and/or drop-outs. Some of the more common network maintenance/changes are:Replacing/upgrading a router Moving from a single router to a Mesh Network setup Changing Internet Service Provider (ISP) Moving to a new dwelling with network hardware you own *Those projects need not be an unpleasant experience as it relates to Sonos. Here are tips that can keep a Sonos smile 😊 on your face and avoid frustration. First…Unplug all Sonos components Do not factory reset any Sonos components 

Hi ...I have an Audrino set up to play music from my wall box by connecting it via a ribbon cable from the digital keypad. At the moment it works fine but it is only connected to a set of pc speakers through the audrino output using a 3.5mm jack plug … I have a small spare Acer pc that will fit into the wall box easily … the PC has a 3.5mm jack for microphone and also for head phones.. Is it possible to connect the audrino using a 3.5mm cable to the PC, then use the Wifi on the PC to connect to the WIFI on my Sonos system
