Advanced setups

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; O

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

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!

I am switching to T mobile 5, how do I connect my laptop Sonos system, and or my iPhone 11 to team mobile? I have 2 Sonos 5 speakers. 

Hi, my current set up has 2 sonos amps and a sonos port, all plugged into ethernet cables, creating three zones that can all play something different or the same.  I want to be able to play my TV through these zones, but the amps are located in another room.  My question is if i buy a sonos soundbar (wifi), would that create a fourth zone that i could use the source of this new zone (the TV) to synch through the other three zones?  Goal is mostly for football games to have the game play throughout the house/patio.  If there is another way to get TV to play through current set up, i am open to that as well.    

Given the recent disasterous software revamp, will Sonos now start to listen more to customers and their feature requests, specifically support for RSTP?  Or will we continue to hear that Sonos doesn’t comment on roadmap?

I was posting on another thread, and the topic came up with regard to 2.4GHz WiFi and possible Microwave interference.  I was curious.I have never tested this before, but came up with a simple stress test experiment, to help me understand impact of ‘Cooking with Sonos’I have an Amp in Kitchen that has a microwave in between the AP and Amp. Amps use 2.4Ghz WiFi, so ideal for a test.I started an Apple Lossless stream 3Mbs to the Kitchen Amp, and grouped 4 other rooms also on 2.4GHz, spread across 2 APs. I could see 3Mb/s down to Amp and backup up to other zones. I then ran a ping to the Kitchen Amp to get a baseline for packet loss: Baseline - Streaming Apple Lossless with group coordinator connected on 2.4GHz WiFi - no music dropouts - no ping packet loss      Packets: Sent = 176, Received = 176, Lost = 0 (0% loss),Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:    Minimum =

Hi @Corry P, I would request an option to have SonosNet disabled when connecting speaker(s) to Ethernet without the need to turn off its WiFi.This way I could avoid STP issues with my router/network and, at the same time, allow a soundbar to connect directly to its surrounds.

Have STR AN1000.  Works with Sonos does not recognize Connect or 3 AMPs.  5 units in system- the receiver only recognizes a 3 speaker on wireless,  Have tried wireless, LAN, eliminated switch by running LAN through connect to AVR.  I am out of ideas.  Thanks

Hello,  I try to build a small side project, to manage the speakers in my house.I want to be able to create a new group of speakers.to do so i want to use createGroup (sonos.com){protocol}://api.ws.sonos.com/control/api/{version}/households/{householdId}/groups/createGroup This endpoints take the playerIds and householdId, and is working fine…But i would like to have my music "follow” the group, and if i understand correctly i have to give themusicContextGroupIdBut i can't find this field anywhere inside of the /getGroups endpoints… [ { "_objectType": "group", "id": "RINCON_48A6B83C422401400:1745150303", "name": "TV Room",

I am trying to create separate S1 & S2 systems, but currently both systems can see the other systems players, which gives rise to a number of problems.  I have recently become aware that running 2 systems on the same wifi network requires each to have a unique Household Id.  I am using Phonos Plus to migrate Playlists etc between the 2 systems and it has a feature which displays the Household Id; however, the id it reports is different to that which appears when I access the Sonos internal information via the direct link: IPAddr:1400/support/review.For example, here are the ids of my S1 and S2 systems according to the Sonos Zone Player info:HHID_***********************************HHID_***********************************and here is the id displayed for both systems by Phonos Plus:HHID_************************i.e. the two are identical up to the period in the first 2 examples.My question is do already I have 2 systems with th

I have a large yard and am wondering if I were to buy multiple Sonos Roams could they be linked together to provide a multiple speaker system.  I don’t mean multi-channel, but more if the devices linked together would be loud enough to cover an area of around 1500 sq ft.  I have no neighbors (the property is 8 acres), so I am not worried about that.  I don’t need concert level sound :), but it would be nice to be able to walk around the backyard area and hear the music.

HiIn a fiber-optic 300 mbps speeds home (2 adults audio stream constant, tv stream night, no need for fa$ter) with 10 Sonos speakers (beam 1 and 2, sonos play 1, sonos 1, move 1, two boosts, etc) I have a couple that drop often. Currently one beam 1st gen is ethernet-plugged to gateway (router) as Boost stop being recognized since the (controversial) launch of the new app. I’d like to put the Boost back to work and to assure that I am on Sonos Net. There is an old post related to the topic but everything seems new since new app (controller) started messing up (macOS -no search! and black background only, iOS don’t even ask me gotta update my phone just to make this work semi-right, ipadOS.. I was saving old app but was force-updated, darn, etc.)  Would you please explain how to switch to SonosNet in this Sonos’ app new world?

I just installed a Tv wall.  I have 4 - 65” tv’s connected to my Jtech Video Wall Controller.  I am a novice when it comes to these things.  Not sure how to connect my Sonos Arc and Amp to the video wall controller.  Can anyone help?

I’ve changed network password and lost my entire Sonos system. the iOS app is not very helpful, neither is Sonos help section which advice me to do thins which is not possible when the products are missing.I have a Boost wired to a network switch next to my router. The system is two Amps and two Symfonisk Table Lamps. There is a Symfonisk Book Shelf speaker as well which I will try to add later.Running LAN Scan on my Macbook Pro laptop all my products are visible with one unique IP address each.In the app I chose System Settings and after that Update Network. The message is “No products found”.I really don’t want to reinstall and lose my playlists.Suggestions?

Down again you idiots my whole system is off line .. what I am now trying to rebuild from scratch.. this I BS !!! Stop breaking your software!!
