Advanced setups

How do I change the settings for my Beam sound bar via the App?  The Sonos App is requesting that I log out and login via Sonos.com as the owner.   This site currently does not have my Beam as a registered product.  How can I get my Beam registered on the Sonos.com account?

When I set up my Playbar, ther is no selection for it on my LG 47GA. Is there an alternate selection that works? 

We’ve had problems for quite a long time now with our home network suffering from periodic broadcast storms (usually after an interruption to our main router), requiring powering off/on of multiple devices to resolve.  With the help of my good wife we finally narrowed it down (with a packet capture) to our network setup and SonosNet causing a network / bridging loop.We have a house that has been extended and modified over time, so WiFi (and SonosNet) reception across the entire house is poor in places (we previously suffered multiple drop-outs until we invested in 2 x Boost).  We have a WiFi network (ASUS RT-AX88U and RT-AX92U routers, linked with AIMesh) which covers most of the core of the house, and use cables and unmanaged Netgear switches for our main home/office and our TV entertainment system, etc.  Our Sonos system is hard wired at five locations (2 x Sonos Boost, 1 x Play:1, 1 x Amp, 1 x Five), the rest connect via SonosNet (on Channel 11 which isn’t used on our home WiFi setu

Can someone confirm for me that an Apple Time Capsule is no longer compatible for use as a NAS with Sonos? I have been unable to use my Sonos since the app update however many months ago. Prior to that, my Time Capsule functioned as my NAS (in addition to being my router and where I back up my Macbook). Since the update, I have spent hours and hours googling and searching YouTube videos to try to play my music but I’ve never been able to reconnect my music library with my Sonos. Yesterday I finally found this thread that appears to say the Time Capsule is no longer an option but I’d like to get another confirmation before moving on. I don’t know what generation my Time Capsule is, but it’s at least a decade old. I don’t know exactly what SMB v2 or v3 are, but it looks like the Time Capsule is SMB v1 which I understand is now a no-go. Is that correct?Anyone who is kind enough to respond, please bear in mind that I am not technically savvy. Thank you!

I have a Sonos ARC with two era 300 serving as rear speakers paired with the Sonos sub 3 and this is connected via an e-arc to a hiicence TV that supports Dolby Atmos, HDR 10 and 4K however even when I play content from the various streaming services, such as Netflix, Amazon prime Apple that has Dolby Atmos , and also some media that I have downloaded through this system, it does not give me a Dolby Atmos symbol on the Sonos app. It shows PCM 2.0 and I don’t think I’m getting the output although on my TV it flashes for about two seconds saying Dolby Atmos is anybody else seeing this and can help

I’ve just registered on the Sonos developer portal https://developer.sonos.com/ After signing in, there’s no option to create API keys. Am I missing something? The page only has the option to “Get Started” which takes you to the documentation. 

For three years I have successfully used an ensemble consisting of Beam and two Play1s to play back my PC sound. This is done via an external sound card (SPDIF) and a TOSLINK cable connected to it. A few days ago the sound stopped completely! I suspect a connection with the recent SONOS controller update, the second suspect is Microsoft. I spent a total of three full days trying to find a solution - in vain. My great frustration is mixed with despair.Here are some pieces of the puzzle from my search so far:It is a Windows 11 PC.A second Windows 11 PC shows the same failure.Sound signals are displayed graphically.Connecting an Android tablet to the TOSLINK cable: music plays!New external sound card does not help on both PCs.Does anyone have a brilliant idea?Here are some screenshots for illustration. 

I have a Sonos Amp and want to run 4 speakers from it which I know isn't a problem. I want to have 2 speakers in one room and 2 in another room but I want to connect all 4 to the Amp via a 4 way speaker selector so I can turn either room on or off when I dont want to have sound in the room. Does anyone know if this is ok to do and that switching via the selector is safe to do and won't damage the Amp output.https://www.avsl.com/product/128.425UK-4-way-loudspeaker-selector 

Hi all,I currently own a Sonos Play 5, Sub, Sonos One, Move, and Beam.  I just purchased a house that has a built-in system consisting of a Denon AVR-X3700H, Onkyo 2-channel Amplifier (M282), and a Nikes Speaker selector (SSVC4).  This equipment is powering a total of 9 speakers (7 indoor, 2 outdoor).  I would like to integrate my Sonos with this system to provide additional sound to the house.  What is the best route to do this, and how?  It looks like I will need to purchase a Sonos Port, but I’m not completely sure.Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,We have multiple house connected throught optical fiber and multiple Sonos Amp in the same network subnet (about twenty). We would to know how can we optimize the network (using igmp snooping, create subnet for each house or each zone, enable multicast routing on router).Thank you in advance for your feedback.

I’ve got an IKEA Symfonisk table lamp. I noticed that at some point it has started to request an IPv6 address via DHCPv6, but it’s doing so with an invalid non-unique DUID (DHCP Unique Identifier).The DUID it’s using is (in hex): 00030001000000000000Decoded, that is a DUID “type 3” (DUID based on link-layer address), with the address type set to Ethernet… but where it should contain the Ethernet MAC address, instead the DUID is set to all zeros.I expect that this non-unique ID might cause problems if someone has multiple Sonos devices in a network with DHCPv6 enabled, although the exact result depends on what DHCP server is in use.For reference, my speaker is currently running the Sonos OS S2, Version 80.1-56190. It is connected via Ethernet cable (WiFi is disabled).

Depuis que j'ai rajouté de la musique sur mon NAS Synology, presque la moitié de ma bibliothèque est diffusée avec un son haché ou des interruptions. Si je diffuse dans une seule pièce c'est un peu mieux, pas idéal, mais si je le fais dans 2 ou 3 pièces c'est impossible alors que tout était parfait avant. La diffusion de radios ne pose aucun problème Merci! Moderator Edit: Google Translate- Since I added music to my Synology NAS, almost half of my library is playing with choppy sound or interruptions. If I broadcast in one room it's a little better, not ideal, but if I do it in 2 or 3 rooms it's impossible even though everything was perfect before. Radio broadcasting poses no problem Thanks!

… but only once.I got a refurbed Amp today, and out of the box it was running 57.5-87010, which is a newer S1 than the current S1 version (which is 57.21-51190).Once I added it to my S1 system, the app “updated” it back to 57.21 like all my other S1 gear.So it IS possible to go backwards, if the app lets you.

I have heard conflicting information on a completely hardwired system with Ethernet run to all devices.  Does the 32 device limit still apply in this case?  Are there ways to workaround the limit?  I’m building a large residential network with Ubiquiti managed switches/cloud gateway, so it has a lot of extra functionality and configuration options including VLANs.  Does this impact the total device limit?  I currently have hit the 32 device limit with wireless, but I’m wiring every device for better latency/reliability, and to ensure that my whole house playing music isn’t occupying any WiFi bandwidth.  I’m setting up all WiFi 7 access points too. Documentation isn’t completely clear or specific on this, and I’ve heard of other systems hardwired with more devices.

Hi,I have an existing wired speaker system as well as a number of Sonos speakers around my home. I just purchased a Denon AVR-S770H and am having trouble getting my wired speakers and wireless speakers to work together.I set up a number of wired speakers in another room to Zone 2 on my receiver. I have a Sonos Port plugged into my AVR using RCA jacks for the ‘out’ and tried both Phono (I read not to use this) and digital inputs into the AVR.My Sonos Port When I try to play Spotify through Zone 2 with the HEOS app, I only get the wired speakers. When I try to play Spotify through the Sonos app, I only get the Sonos speakers. I can’t figure out a way to get them both to play at the same time. I also don’t know which app (Denon, HEOS or Sonos) I need to make this happen. Many of the instructions online have not worked for me. All components seem to be working fine except for this issue. Also, once complete, which program should I be playing music through? I imagine the HEOS, but not sure.

I have two Sonos 300s along with a sub and connect which I want to use for listening to my vinyl and cd collection. The rest of my Sonos products around the house work on a mesh system and are absolutely fine. Because the 300s cannot be connected to the mesh this part of the system does not work well. The music breaks off intermittently. I cannot connect the Sonos 300s direct to the router as it is in another room. I have had 2 hour long conversations with the tech team and mother has been resolved. I find myself considering selling the 300s and reverting back to play 1s instead. Seems crazy. Any ideas?

Hi community, I’m after some help please with Sonos/unifi. I’ve tried to follow the recommended configs and other articles, but think I have a “perfect storm” of things and I’m struggling to resolve. [NB, I’m a home enthusiast/tinkerer, and not an experienced networker, so struggling to work out next steps] Maybe there’s someone with experience based in Sydney, Au who can come and help diagnose on a paid engagement (Pls DM me if possible?) I have a “perfect storm” of three things combining and I simply can’t get Sonos to work anymore. Summary of Setup: Sonos: 13 devices (Room 1: Arc/Sub/Amp; Room 2: Arc/Sub/Amp; Room 3: Amp; Room 4: Amp; Room 5: Era100; Room 6: Five; Outdoors 1: Amp; Outdoors 2: Amp; + Move) Unifi network config as follows: Fibre Modem -> UDM Pro SE -> 24 Pro switch (via SFP+; switch set to STP @ 4096) -> 48 port switch (via SFP+; set to STP 8192) -> 7 x AP's via CAT6 all over the house) All device firmware up to date (Network 8.1.127) Up until recently, th

Need community help:I have a TV that I am running to a Sonos Amp x 3 that is each powering 2 8” ceiling speakers.  What is the best way to do this? A splitter for the HDMI so that each Amp gets the same signal?  Appreciate any advice or direction to where this might have been already answered!

Hi,I have a Sonos Wave 2 which I control using the Android App on my phone or, as is my preference, the Windows App loaded on my PC.  My brother who is in the same household, has a Sonos Roam which he controls using Alexa (I do not use Alexa).  We are on the same wifi network.When I am listening to music, if my brother turns on his speaker, the Windows App shows his account details.  I can see his speaker and his music etc even though what is playing is what I had selected (and I can still control via the Android App on my phone).  Effectively, when my brother uses his Roam, the Windows App ceases to enable me to control my Wave 2 as I can see no way to switch from his system back to my own.I am aware that sharing the same wifi network will mean I can see his system but there must be some way that I can either block his Roam from taking over my Windows App or at least being able to switch from his speaker back to my own.  I have just uninstalled the Windows App and reconnected my speak

A question for you tech heads. A clinical client have asked for a list of urls which needs to accessible over the internet for Sonos speakers and Sonos Port device because they are very tight on security of anything using their network, even dedicated av lans.

i currently have sonos amp and i’m adding couple of subwoofers and i was wondering if it is possible to use a subwoofer amp with sonos amp ! if yes can anyone explain how please . thank you 

Hello Hoping someone can help.I recently upgraded my sound system from BOSE to SONOS. I have a Sonos ARC a Sonos Sub and 3 Sonos Amps. AMP 1 - Connected to my Bose rear channel speakers for surround (didn't want to rewire)AMP 2 - Connected to BOSE 251 in my backyardAMP 3 - Connected to BOSE Freespace speakers by my poolall 3 of these sources work great individually or together.so here’s my question - I just bought a MOVE 2 so I could have the flexibility to move sound around. I see it on my system In the SONOS app, but I can't play the same music. Did I do something wrong? or is this not possible? if not possible, why? and what can I replace the MOVE with to make it work?ThanksAnthony D   

I have 10 pairs of Polk Audio RC80i in my home, powered by 2 Sonos Amps and connected to a Sonos Port. When I stream music via Android’s YT Music directly to a Chromecast Audio that has as 3.5mm adapter to the Sonos Port’s Line-In, there are 2 major issues. (I don’t use YT Music integrated into the Sonos App because of latency and difficulty in navigating music)(1) I seem to get ads on my YT Premium stream (have a ticket with Google about this(2) Rather commonly, my music will cut out for what can be 10-30+ seconds at a time.This has mostly happened when playing my Zen playlist at very low volumes, but I’m not sure if this issue is part of the whole S2 debacle. I run a lot of Ubiquiti gear for my home network, but there’s no device/traffic-specific settings I’ve applied there in.Ideas?

Recently up dated Sky router, which is hardwired to a ubiquity amplifi router. I have 6 speakers, and the beam is hard wired to the AMPLIFI creating SonosNet.having been on to Sonos online they have figured out I have a double NAT. My phone is trying to connect to one IP, but the actual Sonos is on another IP how do go about illuminating the incorrect address and how do I actually identify the Sonos IP Address, and get back to normal service 🙄thanks  

How do I set up a Samba server for the first time on Sonos S1? I’m new to Samba and the Linux terminal so I need all the help you can give. Thanks!
