Two homes with two NAS. Can I duplicate my iTunes library so I can listen with Sonos at both homes?

I have two homes. One is a vacation home, the other my main residence. I currently have a large iTunes library database of over 1,500 CDs that I ripped to a rack mounted RAID Network Storage Device (NAS). Sonos works wonderfully with this system at my primary home. I have many Sonos devices at both...

Hook your Sonos system to IFTTT and control it with the cloud

For those unfamiliar, https://ifttt.com is a service that lets you hook two internet services together, with the first acting as a trigger and the second as a destination. For instance, you can say IF a new Instagram photo is posted in a certain area, THEN save it to my dropbox folder. I've written...

Cisco wireless LAN controller with Sonos

Hi I have a Cisco layer 3 switch (Catalyst 3560) and a wireless LAN that uses a Cisco LAN Controller (WLC 2504) and AP1042 access points. I have connected the Sonos components to the wired LAN on the same subnet as a computer with my music library, and it is able to connect to the Sonos component...

connect to denon avr1200 and htd

I’m trying to use my existing HTD MCA-66 12 channel amplifier with 6 zones to play music throughout my home. Ideally I would keep the main zone running through my denon receiver and the audio would be as is today. The challenge is getting the other zones to play a different source while the main sou...

Stable wireless streaming/distribution of HD music

Since this has come up again with recent Apple news of release of HD music, I thought a separate thread on this subject might be useful in general.I will start with a link to a recent thread where this is seen to be a problem on Sonos:https://en.community.sonos.com/troubleshooting-228999/sonos-speak...

Music Library on external HD connected via USB

Hi will music stored on an external hard drive and connected into my router via a USB be picked up by the sonos app?

Multiple Boosts?

I've recently moved homes and am trying to get my Sonos setup more reliable. 4000 sq.ft. house with one connect:amp, a newer amp, one connect, 3 play:1's and a play:3. Was hard wiring as much as possible into my LAN, but found that Sonos and Ubiquiti can be a bit troublesome to setup. Based on fee...

Can you airplay from Apple TV 4K to Sonos arc and send Dolby Atmos signal from Apple TV 4K to Sonos Arc?

Sonos connect + active subwoofer

Is it possible to use an active subwoofer (not sonos sub) for example Dali e9-f by connecting audio out from a Sonos Connect directly to the line in RCA-s of the subwoofer? I intend to use the subwoofer together with a single Sonos play:5 ( grouped ), until i might expand and combine with old loudsp...

Dear Sonos, please, I'm begging you - add a password protection mechanism to the Sonos Controller

Hello. I would like to formally make an enhancement request. Please, please, please, add a password protection mechanism to the Sonos Controller. I work in a variety of offices that have spent a small fortune on Sonos equipment, and we have the same problem at each office: People hijack the Sonos,...

WiFi vs Hardwired on S2 with two Connects

So I have one Connect (Theater) hardwired to the network. My second Connect (Bedroom) is not hardwired. I had a few drop outs of the second Connect so I added my WiFi to the Networks section under "Manage Networks". It now seems to be working ok now so I guess the built in Sonos wifi network is not...

Sonos and Samsung SmartThings Future

Hi I am building a home automation system using Samsung SmartThings, Philips Hue lights and just bought a 2 x Play 1's. I was really hopeful that the introduction of Sonos would add a lot of value, but unfortunately I'm quite disappointed. Whilst not the fault of Sonos as such; I (and many other peo...

Sonos on Meraki wireless

I’m an IT engineer and have an enterprise class wireless network in my home. I have 3 Meraki access points all broadcasting the same SSID with 2.4 and 5Ghz enabled. Each access point is on a separate channel following WiFi best practice of 1, 6 and 11. I would prefer to run Sonos in wireless mode...

Sonos AMP Trueplay?

Do we know yet whether the new Sonos AMP supports Trueplay?

Sonos ARC and DTS Support

Why for the love of god does SONOS not support DTS audio? No workarounds, no suggestions to look at buying a deconverter. No I don’t want to RIP my blu rays and connect a server to watch a movie. I want to understand why SONOS cannot support DTS audio? Primarily BluRay 4k HD user.

Amazon Echo integration?

Has anyone heard about potential Sonos integration with Amazon Echo?

Need help understanding my Ubiquiti - Sonos network and whether I can get rid of 2 Bridges or replace w/ Boosts

Hi all! I’ve got a decent sized Sonos setup and have two problems I’m trying to solve: 1) The bridge being EOL’d and whether or not I still need them and 2) The fact that when I tried to connect a Connect:AMP via ethernet, I had something happen on my network (traffic storm, loops, etc) that cripple...

"Endorsed" Control4 Drivers

The new "endorsed" Control4 drivers are complete garbage. From the face of it, they have lost a TON of functionality from the original "hacked" drivers. Apparently the people who hacked the old API knew more than SONOS engineers about their own stuff... We had full ability to use all inputs acros...

Sonos-Beamer wifi setup

I'm looking for advice on my beamer-audio setup, combined with a wireless speaker function for spotify. I made a scheme to make the 3 options clear in which I would like the set-up to work in an ideal case. But I know probably not realistic.. Would just be nice to sit in the couch and control every...

Connect Amps with multiple speakers around the house

Hello! I'm looking for some advice on some Bose 191 ceiling speakers that I inherited after moving into a new house. I believe these speakers are all 8ohms. Here is my dilemma that I've tried to search through this community but I can't find the right answer with my setup. I have 3 ceiling speakers...

Automatic volume of the Playbar while playing music

Hey guys, when I start listening to music on the Playbar the volume is always set to the middle of the range. This is quite loud when I start listening to a radio station. Is there any possibility of changing 'the instant volume' of the Playbar when I start listening to music? I'd like to have it a...
