Advanced setups

Recently, have purchased Sonos Move via the official Sonos app with the following concerns -1. There is no voice assistant in India except Sonos Voice control. When shall we have this in place?2. It's challenging to press the mode button sometimes as it doesn't detect the pressing of it.3. It takes a very long time to switch to Bluetooth and to connect the already paired or searching device/new device.4. Bangalore, India's support team is not efficient.5. Any solution to switch off the Sonos move via Mobile App since the app doesn't have any advanced features it works with the basic ideology that doesn't even detect incoming calls. Sonos Move should at least detect the incoming calls and take necessary steps such as pausing the music.6. The sound quality and clarity have gone after the last update.7. When are we planning to launch advanced features such as audio quality and its type(eq) etc?8. Whenever I connect it with Tv, the sound l

Forgive me if this has been discussed where I missed it, but…I’ve read a lot about the difficulty with should lag when playing from Sonos Connect, Port or similar through an AV receiver using DSP, assuming I want synced music from both the Sonos zones and the AVR’s wired speakers.  From what I gather, setting speaker output on the AVR to 2-channel/direct is the only workaround (and still dependent on the AVR model) as it reduces the DSP time to more closely sync with the Sonos.What about a scenario where instead of the Port or Connect originating the source music and running line into the AVR, the AVR originates the source signal and sends line out to the Connect?  It looks like many AVRs now support various streaming services.Thanks for any thoughts. 

Hi,I have 19x Sonos Play 1, - and music playing throughout the house. However, when they are not playing and I am sleeping they still consume 3.7W each, (~70W combined) to no use at all. They are therefore configured to all by on the same electrical circuit on which I have a kill switch, so that they all go offline. This was originally thought of as a way to kills my teenage kids playing music too late or just when we left the house for a few days. But now it seems silly/lack of respect for finite resources, not to use this each night when I know they will not play. However, - I then run into the regrouping issue. Before I can start playing music, manually or automatically, - I need to fiddle with the Sonos App to regroup all the speakers.  A feature, where on restart a speaker goes back into its default group would be great. This allows greater convenience, and allows me and others to turn the whole thing off at night and save electricity - for our

I’ve moved to a new house and wanting to set up multi room music streaming by integrating my NAIM hi-fi (Uniti Core music server and XP5 XS2 streamer, plus amps and speakers) with my Sonos system (Arc and two Play:1’s acting as surround sound for my LG television) and adding a couple of extra Sonos speakers for kitchen and patio.  Problem is that the Sonos system does not show the Core as either a uPnP source or as a music server.  After reading some posts that perhaps my ASUS Zen mesh network was the problem, I’ve added a switch and now everything is hardwired to either the switch (Core, XS2, LG-TV and Arc) or to the router (Both Play:1’s and obviously the switch is hardwired back to the router).  The LG tv can “see” the Core and play music from it via the LG media app. The Sonos can play from other music sources (eg Amazon Music). The NAIM streamer is very happy to play music off the NAIM core. Any suggestions why Sonos can’t see

Hi all, Really hoping someone can help. I’ve had 4 speakers hard wired into the ceilings with good quality speaker cable. 2x left and 2x right.The cables are too thick to fit 2 into a single banana plug that came with the amp. I purchased some stackable banana plugs instead which the cables fit into fine BUT the actual “plug” bit is too big for the holes in the back of the amp?! They fit fine in my Blue Sound amp. Please help :(

Hi!I have bougth Sonos Ray.My TV does not have a optical port for sound.Is there any solution based on using ethernet or a cable converter?Thanx! Ole

I recently purchased the Sonos Port and the Project T1 SB turntable so I could connect it to a set of move speakers and listen to vinyl.  Overall I’m happy with the sound quality, the stereo effect is quite good and it has the expected warmth and depth that comes with vinyl. There are however two things I’m trying to understand better to see if it’s worth adding.  connecting either a Bluetooth transmitter so I can use my Sony XM4 headphones with it, or buying a headphone pre-amp and wired set adding a DAC pre-ampOn number 1, I believe I can just connect this to the line out plugs on the port and either power a wired set or connect my Sony headphones to it, is that correct? Has anyone done this?On number 2, I’m not sure there’s any point in adding an external pre-amp or DAC component if I’m not connecting it to analog speakers, since it’s the port that streams to the Sonos Moves. Is my understanding right? Appr

I have a large local flac library that is too big for the Sonos indexing system (about 70 000 songs). To be able to play all music via my Sonos system, I've simply attached my laptop to one of my play 5’s via the 3.5mm jack. Music is played on my windows laptop by a separate player (Winamp, I'm old school).However I feel that the quality of the flac files is not fully appreciated using this setup. Is there a better solution available?

Hi all,Listening to music on the Beam/Ones/Sub setup is not great. I really enjoy the HT experience, but even when setting the “Surround Audio > Music Playback” to “Full” it’s just not as good as the 2.1 setup of Ones as left & right plus the sub.However switching between the two modes requires breaking the HT config, creating a stereo paring, and, then breaking that go back to HT -- but even worse it loses the True Play which has a huge impact in our room (a combined kitchen / living space).It’s frustrating, and I am looking at other non-Sonos options for music listing in the same space, just so as to leave the Sonos HT config alone.Does anyone know how things are going on the Sonos software features side that could allow for this?Have they announced anything? Is there at least beta testing underway?

Please add two wifi switches.  One for 2.4GHz SonosNet/data and one for 5GHz used during ad-hoc surround/sub usage.  I want incoming data handled over Ethernet but still need the 5GHz for bonded speakers.

Hi, I wondering if you can Connect a AirPlay 2 adapter to Sonos one and Sonos beam gen 2 through a cd player

As a reasonably techie guy I’ve been helping my neighbour set up his domestic sound system. He has a Sonos driven output in 5 separate rooms. There is a mixture of Sonos 5 speakers, Ports feeding AV amplifiers and an Amp running a pair of speakers.  All the rooms are very separate acoustically apart from the lounge, which has a large opening into the kitchen/dinner area. The lounge has a Port feeding a good Sony AV surround sound amplifier and the kitchen has an Amp driving a pair of passive speakers. And so he is suffering from the dreaded ‘stadium echo’ effect when playing music in both the kitchen and lounge. The mechanism is easy to understand; the Sonos kit is all synchronised together but the Sony AV system adds its own delays after the output from the Sonos Port. Because the Sony amp, along with many other AV systems, is designed such that the video output is always lip synced with the TV picture, changing from surround to direct modes does not affect the audio delay. So it i

Hi, I would like to stream all sounds of my PC Windows through Sonos One I have. I saw that it should be possible to connect Connect on my PC and then Grouped with my Sonos One, but there is some delay from the video to the sound of the Sonos One.I saw on Internet, there is some small soft to simulate airplay on a PC (something like that) and then it says it is possible to use Sonos One for a PC Windows.Is anyone tried those kind of soft and if yes, witch one could you recommend ?ThanksE.

SonosNet does not activate when it absolutely should.  I have talked to Tech support several times and followed that “converting to a wired setup” instructions procedure a dozen times.  I’ve audio recorded the “click” that I hear when I plug my Ethernet cable into my one plugged in device more times than I can count, just to ask a friend and ensure that I did in fact hear the magical “click” sound.When I check my setup, a half dozen speakers are in, hooray, “WM: 1”!  If I remove my WiFi network from the app, all those speakers VANISH forever.  It’s like they’ve given up on life and have no will to live.  Even though supposedly there is a magical SonosNet blasting around everywhere.  The only fix is to plug my physical Boost back in, and they magically re-appear!  This Boost must have the magical key that gets them to connect.The fix for this?  RESETTING my entire system one-by-one.  Tech support told me not to, their forums as well.  But the moment I finished spending

Hello all,I just wanted to see if anyone has any advice or suggestions for addressing an issue I’m experiencing with my set up.  I currently have a Samsung JS8500 from 2015, which means it has ARC, but no EARC.  I use a Chromecast with Google TV for all of my streaming.  And I recently purchased a Sonos Arc to replace my previous Pioneer soundbar.  I understand that I cannot get Atmos directly from the TV to the ARC because the TV lacks EARC, so I purchased the Orei HDA-931 Audio Extractor (https://www.orei.com/products/dual-hdmi-earc-audio-extractor-converter-4k-60hz-18g-hdmi-2-0-arc-support-hda-931) hoping to feed the Chromecast into the device and then split the video to the TV and send the EARC to the ARC soundbar.I can confirm that this set up works - I can watch movies on Netfli

Hi all, I have had all of my routers remapped and a new ssid added for sonos only but I can't add it to the app, does anyone have any ideas how I can do it.

Hi, I have a Sonos system (amp &  a pair of 5) and I would like to use them with my old cd player. What do I need?Tanks for your advice!

I know that the soundbar’s main purpose is “speaker” for TV. Still, I feel that in 2022 it would be normal for a device that can connect to LANs (both wired and wirelessly) to be able to work in more diverse situations than a simple TV - Beam connection.I also feel that  implementing  more features or allowing for more connections would be simple (and not costly) tasks - adding a new port and even updating softwareI’ll start with what I have (in terms of devices setup), what I want to achieve and what I can’t do (or don’t know how to do it). I have a PC connected (via a RTX 3080) to two monitors and one LG C1 TV (via HDMI). The LG TV is connected to Sonos Beam via the eArc port. I’ve also connected the Sonos Beam to my home network using the Ethernet port (so there’s a wired connection here).When I work, I do it on my monitors (work on one and listen/view YT on the other monitor). I keep my TV off.When I am playing some games,

Anyone have a recommendation for a narrow wall mount rack shelf solution that could be used for separate shelves for anywhere from 3 - 7 Sonos Amp’s?  It will be located in a cubby behind a TV and unfortunately there isn’t the width to the right of the tv mount to allow a standard 19” wide audio shelf rack.  Ideally looking for something closer to 10” wide.  As a side note, i am installing AC Infinity Airplates to vent.  TV Cabinet Area​​​​​ Area to the right of TV mount where I am looking to put stackable shelves for Sonos Amp’s 

It seems VERY shortsighted on the part of Sonos to push an Arc update to then be told the Arc was reset during the update and use Trueplay only to find out my iPad OS is simultaneously no longer supported. I then purchased a new iPad Air Gen 5 and it is not yet supported so has anyone at Sonos considered this possibility??  Please don’t reset my Arc during future updates Sonos, OK?

I like to use a sonos arc soundbar as surround sound for a Projector and motorized screen setup. Any idea on how or if possible at all?

I just purchased this soundbar and I connected it to my LG C2 42” that I use as a “monitor” for my PC for gaming. Audio is working fine however I’m curious is there an optimal setting in windows I should be using when I go through the Sound Setting Configuration wizard? I can select either Stereo or Dolby Atmos for home theater. Does any configurations there create latency issues?

Hello.I have several Play 1 units, an Amp and a Connect (all S1) working great on a new Nest (Google) Mesh network.  All units show in my System as WM = 1 so all wirelessly connected directly to the mesh and with full app control.  No issues.However, I have two Play 1s that I want to reconnect to my system that have been switched off and not used for around six months.  These two units will not connect.  I’ve tried all sorts so far starting with trying to set them up in the app via both adding a new unit and adding a missing product with no success.  I’ve factory reset them to a green light and still no joy with getting them connected.The app takes me so far in setting them up and then complains that it can no longer connect to the unit putting me back to  square 1 each time.  I’m trying each one individually (not both at the same time).  If I plug in the errant units and leave them for a minute or so they show a solid white light but are not visible in t
