Any word on a software update, allowing the Move to stereo pair with another in Bluetooth mode?  It has been a year and a half since the Move came onto the market.  It’s absurd that Sonos didn’t take care of this major issue in the initial release, but it should definitely be a high priority to address it with a downloadable software update.   A friend just bought me a fully waterproof Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 2, which retails for around $100.  You can stereo pair via Bluetooth 2 of these little guys together, but the $400 Sonos Move can’t be? The technology is out there.  C’mon, Sonos… please make this happen!   The Move is designed to take on the go, that’s the point, all features should be available while… on the go!  

Hi all, hope someone can help here.  I have an Arc and two Ones that I have set up as a TV surround system. To prevent unwanted roaming on my network, I set up a unique SSID broadcast from a single access point, and connected these 3 devices to it, and all’s well. Let’s call this SSID “AUDIO”.  I also have two Moves. I don’t want these connected to the AUDIO, I want these to just connect to my standard housewide SSID, let’s call it GENERAL.  Problem is: when I add GENERAL as a trusted network for the Moves, the Arc starts using it.  Is there any way to force my Arc to AUDIO and my Move to GENERAL and have them see & connect only to their assigned SSID? By the way, AUDIO and GENERAL are just SSIDs. They both connect back to the same network and subnet, so I have no control problems. I’m just trying to manage which device connects to which access point. 

Hello,I am trying to understand if something is possible before buying the equipment. I am trying to set my parents house up with Sonos across the house and an outbuilding. House is working great, obviously very easy and pleased how it’s all working.Now for the outbuilding I was thinking of running an Ethernet from the house Virgin router to an access point (AP) in the garden building. Something like an Archer C6 AC1200, for context this is about 35m away.  Reading online this should ‘extend’ my wifi to the garden building. I had previously considered a PowerLine Adapter, but I suspect this will have issues because the outbuilding is on its own Consumer Unit... I am assuming that if the AP has the same ssid and password, setting up a new Sonos or two would be simple enough, and I’ll be able to see and control them all together? (Bit of an amateur when it comes to home networks)

I have a system that consists of an ARC + Sub + AMP surrounds.In order to reduce the amount of competition/traffic on my WiFi I am looking to move these devices over to Ethernet.  The first device with the necessary wiring is the AMP.  Once I Disable WiFi, the music will not play thru them.  They show up as part of the system.  Under “About My System” I can see that it is getting an IP Address.  It is part of the default VLAN and I can ping it from other devices on the same network.If I re-enable WiFi, they work fine as Surrounds.

I have scoured the forums and havent see an exact answer to this. I even called Sonos support and they couldnt even find my products under my email and account! Bizarre.I have S1 setup now as follows on Sonosnet channel 6;- Connect Gen 2 ethernet connected - Connect Gen 1 (not s2 compatible)- Play 5 gen  1 (not s2 compatible)- Beam, Sub gen 2 with 2 One surrounds - One Gen 1- Connect Amp gen 2 So i bought a One SL and want to set this up on same home network, but on S2 app by itself, and i assume with a direct Wifi connection to Router.I dont want it to affect anything to so with exisitng S1 setup above and dont want to upgrade any products yet.From ive read, should I;- turn off the Connect that is ethernet hard wired. Will this disable all the others?- Run separate S2 app and Setup the new One SL Will this then now not affect exisiting setup?Thank you Scott

Here’s my situation: I bought a house with three levels. On level two is the modem/router. On level one is the game room where the big TV sits, along with speaker wire that runs to speakers hard-wired on level two (the upper level). I have a well-functioning mesh network throughout the house.I had an installer come out and tell me I needed three sonos connect AMPS to run the speakers on the upper level. He also said he had to move my modem/router down to level one (the basement) to plug the amps into the modem/router. He said there was a lot of work involved with moving the modem/router downstairs and is wanting to charge me a lot in labor just to do that. He says the amps need to be plugged into the modem/router to work well - they won’t work well in a mesh network. Is that true?Question, is there a way to keep the modem/router on level two, without having to move it? 

I was wondering, is there a way to get a push notification of currently playing track to my raspberry pi device in my local lan?

Yesterday I registered for the developer portal (integration.sonos.com) and successfully logged in, developed my first PoC. but today the login doesn’t work.When I try to log in, it’s telling me password or username error.When I try to reset the password, the password reset page redirects me to the “SONOS - Looks like something went wrong!” page.Also when I try to register for a new account with different mail address, at the end of the registration page it’s showing me the error page, and no account activation mail is sent.I reported it already to the 24/7 support agent, but seems I am the first reporting the issue today - even if it occured already an hour ago and is still ongoing. Do others experience same issue, or does the login or account registration or password reset on developer.sonos.com / integration.sonos.com work for you?

I have a sonos surround setup with a beam and 2 play ones in living room. Is it possible to play music only on one speaker within the group? Let’s say I want to play only on the left side play 1. Is that possible? I use the android app.

Newbie here.  I’m building out a covered porch right now with the “dream setup”. Outdoor fireplace with TV & ARC above it, and am planning on using AMP + Ceiling Speakers as rears for that system.  Everything is getting framed and built out right now, and I’m trying to figure out what wiring I need run.  Below is a rudimentary diagram of my plan.. but here’s the crutch of my question:  ARC will be hooked into TV’s eARC HDMI port.  I’m hoping that ARC can wirelessly bond to an AMP so that those are a single Sonos Room together (and the AMP ceiling speakers set as rears), but my concern is my planned location for the AMP is in a utility closet that is about 25 ft away from this porch (through walls), AND that’s through an exterior brick wall. Unfortunately the AM

Hi, My new ARC when i plug it into the power and wired network, the S2 app says it needs a update. The update does not happen because its in WiFi mode and it storms the network. All other SONOS devices on  network are wired.Is there anyway to set it up as wired before it tries to update ?  

Does anyone have experience of using the Move as just a speaker for skype or teams calls. I'm using my laptop, but the speakers are terrible and want better sound. I've seen several posts complaining about not being able to use the microphone but that's not an issue if its only used as a speaker. Is it possible? Is there hideous lag? Am I barking up the wrong tree? Not going to buy a cheap Bluetooth speaker if the Move does the job as it would be a great addition to my sonos setup, but equally not going to buy a Move if it won't work for call audio and I still need to buy another speaker. Thoughts from anyone who has tried it would be appreciated. 

So I’ve done searching through here and find some similar but slightly different questions, so here goes… in house 1 I have an S1 system with a bunch of play 5’s, connects, one, play bar.  now in house 2 I want to set up an S2 system with several new Sonos amps.  also I use the same WiFi ssid and password for the networks in both houses so how do I set up the new S2 system and are there any complications with the existing S1 system? TIA

I’m an authorized Sonos dealer.  Installed a system 6 months ago in a cabin 100 miles from my office, configured system with S2 on my Android tablet, system working fine when I last left it.  Customer does not use cabin during winter.I wanted to know how to completely delete the current Android configuration created with my company credentials and start with a clean install on customer’s iPad.  Sonos agent wasn’t sure how deleting configuration would affect Sonos upgrades or any other effects.As another option, I had questions on transferring the system to customers account that’s to be created next week on their iPad.  Needed to know if a 1 - Boost, 3 - Amp configuration created on a current Android tablet to an iPad will transfer without a complications.  I’d prefer to delete and start from scratch but need a possible back up.Complete frustration with call - escalated and told best they could do is email transfer instructions (Android to Andr

Does anyone have any recommendations for a portable CD player that I can connect to my Sonos Five? I have a large CD collection that I'd like to inergrate into my Sonos environment and my Five appears the best way to do so. I'm looking for something under $100. Thanks in advance. 

I recently moved and decided to invest in 5 new One SL speakers. I also took my old system with me, consisting of two Play:1’s, a Playbar, a Play:3 and Play:5. The system was running on S1 because of the old Play:5. I am ditching the Play:5 because I want to move to the new S2 system. I tried to set up the new system by plugging the old Play:1 with an Ethernet cable in the modem. The S2 app told me to switch to the S1 app. I disconnected the Play:1 and used the One SL instead. This worked well, I managed to set up the One SL’s in the new S2 app, and those speakers work. But now I want to add the Play:1’s, the Playbar and the Play:3. But the problem is that the S2 app now suddenly cannot find them. Is there any way to make those speakers visible again? 

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-speakers-cut-in-and-out-when-playing-hd-music-6858735I don’t have or plan to have HD music in my home, I don't believe it add to heard sound quality. But I have seen problems in the past with grouped wireless play while playing uncompressed files from Sonos line in jacks. And the link above is a case of someone having problems playing Sonos HD radio. In grouped mode as well as on a single speaker, where the Sonos response has been: ethernet wire the units to the core network.By all accounts, Bluesound has the

Hi, In a client setup having a Beam connected to the TV (via HDMI with ARC) and an AMP for a spill over area, client would like to have the possibility to listen to the TV audio in the spill over area as well. In view of this, I thought of connecting the source to an HDMI distribution amplifier such that the outputs can be connected to both the TV and to the AMP in orderto provide the amp with the source audio content. The TV is then connected to the Beam via an HDMI ARC connection, which works great. The AMP however, does not accept the HDMI input from the Distribution amplifier as an HDMI with ARC functionality. Why is it not possible for audio to be used from the HDMI signal which includes both video and audio content?Thanks

Hi,Is there a Sonos API that caters for the selection of the HDMI or analogue audio input from a 3rd party control system?With thanksKeith

If I take a my Roam and my Move to the dog park, is it possible to stream bluetooth audio to both devices simultaneously?My iPhone is able to connect via bluetooth to both devices at the same time but only one device plays audio. If this isn’t possible now, could a future update make this possible, or is it a bluetooth issue that doesn’t allow grouping devices? 

Hey Community! Sorry to sound like such a novice but I have a Sonos Beam, two Ones as my surrounds and a Sub currently set up as my TV surround setup.I have bought a turntable which I wanted to connect to my speaker setup through a Sonos Amp.I have set this up today and it seems that the Amp cannot connect / stream to my existing system as this wants to set up a new room with this as the main component. Is there a way I can stream my Amp inline audio to my existing system so I don’t have to reset up a system every time I want to listen to my turntable? Thanks in advance!

I recently purchased a second property and was given two Sonos 1's as a gift. How do I set them up in the second house on my existing account? The Sonos are second hand, my brother moved away and gave these to me from his system.

Hi i just switched my audio setup for an AVR and separate Dali Oberon speakers to a full Sonos  system (arc, sub and one sl’s)I have a 4K Samsung 65” TV (2020 model with eARC) and a Mac Mini M1 hooked to it as my media center. When I had my AVR I got the Mac mini to play full Dolby surround via the AVR (HDMI all the way) (5.1) Now that I have switched to the sons setups I no longer get the option of multi channel output to the Sonia arc via the TV only 2 channel stereo. The MIDI setup no longer displays the option of multichannel output to the arc via the TV I have the TV set to atmos comparability “on” and digital audio output format “auto”Mac mini connected to hdmi 1, and Sonia arc connected to hdmi 2 / eARCif I play content via a usb drive on the TV I get full surround and atmos (tried a sample file via a usb thumb drive directly to the tv) anyone have a clue how I can get my Mac mini back a

I have had my music stored on an Addonics NAS for the last 8 years and it works with sonos fine, simply acting as an NAS.  I now see it is no longer supported and my mac has stopped accessing it. It is the same size as a raspberry pi with a usb drive plugged in.  Marvellous bit of kit really.Whst should i replace it with?  Should I go for another NAS or a streaming solution like plex?  What is the difference?  Apart from the obvious.  The NAS should be small and quiet and still supported.  I have a raspberry Pi v3.  I am guessing I could probably just install a linux on it, mount the drive and share it.  Is there any advantage to having plex on top?  Any alternatives?
