Advanced setups

I have 2 Play1 speakers, sound bar, and sub set up for surround sound in my Den.  I purchased 2 more Play 1 speakers and added them but it created a Den 2?  I can manually activate both sets for music but it will only play 2 speakers for surround sound.  Is there a way to have them play automatically for both music and TV surround sound?  Appreciate any input!

Want to hook up a turntable to a beam or arc without an amp or port? Totally possible. I plugged the turntable cord (rca white and red) into my tv, my tv to the beam as normal with the hdmi, and changed the input to the rca signal and the record player works! I had to turn off the auto shut off for the tv so i could play records for a long time without it shutting down since there is no video signal. I don’t mind the tv on while I play records. I would mind spending $500 or $650 to hook up through an amp or port! This is free and works great. 

Would it be possible to allow configuring a Sonos Sub by itself as a “room”?.  This would solve for a couple of use cases:Those with Sonos Moves could group the Moves and standalone Sub when in close proximity. Example Office Move Pair + Office Sub. Those with the desire to have more than one Sub in room could group with an existing room that already has a Sub. Example: Living Room (+Sub) + Living Room Sub

Is there a way to have different sound profiles set up for a group of speakers within the same room. For example, when sitting on the sofa watching tv in surround sound mode the speakers should be set up differently than when listening to music. Is there a way to switch from one sound profile to another easily?

My Sonos arc only works with my Sonos amp (rear speakers) when the arc is connected to my network via Ethernet.  Does this sound correct? When I unplug the Ethernet cable from the Arc the rear speakers powered by the Sonos amp no longer play.  

I am not very familiar with Sonos and I have a technical question about how speakers can be grouped.I’m wondering if it is possible to have different components part of multiple groups, and how that would or wouldn’t work with Airplay 2.Essentially I am designing a system for a room with a TV, and I wanted it to be possible to have the system set up as EITHER a 2.1 or a 5.1 (which includes the 2.1).So say I have the following components:(1) Arc (2) Five (2) One SL (1) SubIs it possible to have:Group 1: (2) Five + (1) Sub Group 2: Group 1 + (1) Arc + (2) One SLIdeally, I would like to have two groups both in Sonos and available to Airplay as “Stereo” and “TV”.

I have two play 1 speakers, first gen. I recently installed a boost to my system as one was continuously dropping out. I have connect one with an ethernet directly to the boost in the hope it will sure things up even more and they’re in a stereo pair but one refuses to move onto the boost network and is still showing WM:1 instead of VM:0 like the boost and the speaker wired to it. Has anyone got any suggestions?

I am going to install 6 sonos sonance speakers with the new sonos amp, however due to the long wire run I will be using 12 gauge speaker wire. There is no way I can fit 3 sets of 12 gauge speaker wires into the sonos amp terminals, do you have a good way to do this? Should I just use wire nuts (seems not very professional), or what about something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Lever-Nut-Connectors-Compact-PCT-214-Conductor/dp/B07C4YGWS5/ref=sr_1_12?dchild=1&keywords=4%2Bconductor%2Bterminal%2Bblock&qid=1606914021&s=hi&sr=1-12&th=1

I have an old but very reliable Pionner SX-750 receiver. I recently purchased a PORT hoping to listen to my vinyl LP’s etc on my Sonos speakers but have had no luck. My receiver does not have a digital out. It has a phono in, aux in, two separate tape Rec/Play. I can’t seem to find a way to send the phono in to the in of the PORT. Does anyone have any ideas or should I send the unit back? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance  

How do I connect my new Sonos five to my living room setup when I already have a play base, 2 play 1’s and a sub?

Having difficulty getting my Beam sound bar to be the primary sound source. Using a Caavo control center to manage applications, Apple tv as the primary “vehicle” for apps/TV etc. My question is what is the correct path for connecting my Beam. Connect to the HDMI on the TV or connect through the Caavo control center? 

I have two connects, one Gen2, in the same room. One is connected to a turntable and sound system. The other is connected to a Ruark system as speakers. Is there a way of linking them together in a similar way as a stereo pair?

Does the Sonos beam count as a “hub” so i can connect it to my tv etc? 

I’m looking for some advice. I’ve just bought an LG CX 65inch, and am looking into soundbars. Given the slanted ceiling and open plan (to one side of the TV), I’m wondering whether Atmos would work with the Arc, or whether I should be looking for a multi-speaker setup instead. The TV will soon be mounted, but the soundbar (if we go that way) would sit on a new tv stand.Appreciate any help!  

Dear Sonos,As of now I know there are only the below grouping possible with the Sonos Arc and play 5s:In total you can either have any of the following set up:(Sonos Arc+ Sub) , (Play 5), and (Play 5). (Sonos Arc+ Sub) and (stereo paired PLay 5s) (Sonos Arc +Sub+ Play 5 (RS) + Play 5 (LS)Is it possible you will add options to create mutiple groups with the Sonos Arc so you can setup for the two play 5’s as a seperate group? I’m intersted in purchasing the system but it seems so expensive when some of the features for grouping aren’t possible. From a customer standpoint you are paying so much but the grouping is lacking.From a future customer.Regards

I’m adding the Move to my Sonos collection.  Does the Move have any WiFi range limitations?  I.e. If my phone can connect to my 2.4G WiFi network 400 ft away, can I expect the Move to reliably connect to the same WiFi network?

I have recently upgraded the audio at a clients home with a Sonos solution for this room as cabling is an issue and we want a sub for it. This is a big property with a Control4 system. Network is Pakedge RK1 router, HP switches, and Unifi AP’s.  The network is flat, so dont start thinking its manged. Multicast, UPNP is as one would expect for an AV system. SO we have installed a Sonos Amp to drive our ceiling speakers in a AV rack in the basement, hard wired into the network and we want the sub to be wireless in the room. Had trouble at first trying to get it to pair wirelessly, hard wire in and presto upgrade done and now pairs. Appears good in app (+) when powered on (-) when powered off.Call Sonos get this :Thank you for contacting Sonos Customer Care.As we discussed on the call, most common router settings for Sonos to work.1) 2.4 Ghz enabled2) Split 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz (separate SSID for each band)3) Make sure Mode is set to 802.11 BGN4) Client isolation should be off to ensure wifi d

Hii recently connected my first Sonos device (Beam) and am looking to add more throughout the house.I want to add a Sonos One Gen 2 to a part of the house that does not get a wifi signal. From what I gather, Sonos devices can communicate if they are in range with each other.My question is: Can I use voice control if the Sonos speaker is not connected to wifi, but has a link through other Sonos devices to the wifi.Bonus question: My phone will not be connected to the wifi network either in this part of the house. Will I be able to control this Sonos device via bluetooth?  

Hi there - I’ve used Sonos for years, first adopter back in the day of controller and control wheel!i’ve recently moved house to a recently constructed 4 storey town house ( 3 years old) which has a basement cupboard with a rack housing the Cat cabling, switch and the BT fibre modem.  I have a BT Smarthub 2.0 (connected to the WAN and switch).  There are 3 connect Amps in the rack feeding speakers in the kitchen, living room and cinema room (all cabled in ceiling speakers).  I also have a Play1 in a bedroom connected via ethernet to the wall socket which feeds into the switch.  The cinema room has a Playbar and Sub, connecting wirelessly (in the next room in the basement to the rack).  I have had zero problems with the Playbar, Sub or the Play1 since arriving and changing ownership / router.  The 3 Connect Amps have all dropped off the App or i’ve had “can not connect” messages, or they have played (radio or Spotify) for a minute or 5 mins, and then dropped.  The room then also disappe

Hi, I have a number of Sonos Plays, 2 are set as a stereo pair in my kitchen. When playing music independently of other rooms they play fine. If I group them with another room the right hand speaker stops playing, only the left one works. I can pause and restart the music as well as leave and rejoin the group from the button on the right speaker.I have factory reset the right hand speaker, remade the stereo pair set and completed True Play. All works fine until I group the speakers with another room.  This has only just started to occur after working fine for the last 2+ years. I have made no network changes in my property, everything has remained the same.  Ideas for a fix on this issue please.ThanksStuart 

Hi,i want to connect the Sonos ARC to a HDFury Arcana, which is on the other side of the room and passes through Dolby Atmos from an Apple TV 4K. I need a cable of up to 6m (20ft). What type and brand of HDMI Cable is recommended to make sure I don’t experience issues?Thanks.

HDMI Ethernet Extender & Sonos Arc?I plan on splitting the HDMI using HDFury Diva, and then extending the HDMI over CAT 6 Ethernet.However none of the extenders I am finding support eArc. Is there a device that gets this done? 

I purchased the Move the other day when it was on sale for $299. Sonos had a one day sale and offered a saving of $100. I thought it was a reasonable price for the Move. My original plan was to buy 2 more Sonos One or One SL. I already have 3 pairs of Sonos (4 Sonos Play 1 & 2 Sonos One). The Sonos One is paired with Playbase and Sub. The other 2 pairs are used in separate rooms. For those who have the Move already I’m sure the sound is really good? But those who have it paired with a Sonos One or One SL how does it sound in stereo? It would seem like the Move has a bigger sound than the One speaker when it’s used separately? So when paired I would think the Move is louder than the One? Also I’m thinking of the One SL over the Sonos One. I don’t need voice activation when the Move already has it. Plus I turned off voice activation on my Sonos One already. I don’t use it period. 

I recently added a Move to my One SL setup. How do I group these 2 speakers so that I have the same music playing from both speakers? Ideally via Airplay, so I can choose this new group when choosing a speaker to play the sound from. Thanks!

Hi, I’ve become a happy owner of my first Sonos One SL speaker, really enjoying the beautiful sound that it capable to give. And it would be great to use it as a speaker for my android tv box (MIBOX 3).I also have google nest mini, which one i could connect thought bluetooth and it works amazing, but the idea was to stream sound to Sonos speaker. I was trying to set Sonos as default speaker (through google home app) but it was reproducing on Nest mini. Does anybody has an idea how to stream sound (i used to watch movies on MX player on MIBOX) to Sonos One?
