We have 5 Sonos Connect:AMPs located throughout our warehouse and one Sonos Connect in the front of our building where the offices are. There are two separate network IDs, one for the warehouse and one for the offices. Our 5 Sonos Connect:AMPs are connected to the warehouse SSID. The Connect in the offices can only be connected to the office SSID. When my phone is connected to the Office SSID, I can see and control my Sonos Connect:AMPs (on different ID) with no problem. However, once I connect our 6th Sonos (Connect) to the office SSID, the Sonos Android App starts "freaking out," reloading multiple times before I can even choose a single option. Finally, after maybe 3-5 minutes, I could play music from my Office Sonos Connect, but my 5 Sonos Connect:Amps are no longer found in the app. Switching my phone to the Warehouse SSID now shows that there are zero Sonos connected, and our music is no longer playing. Is there a way to have all 6 Sonos devices either: A: A

So many of us want to use our Sonos system alongside all our media, not just streaming music. I have understood with research that there is a lag/delay with the sound when pictures too. This could be fixed with a plug-in for a browser or OS, which has calibrated the audio lag, so that we can watch Netflix or any other non streaming audio media. I am tempted to return the 2 Play:3's I bought because of this, and I'm sure I am not alone in this frustration. Having spoken to a Sonos Expert on the chat menu, she told me that this "might" be addressed in the future, and that the best thing to do is to leave a message on here. If this were to be solved, I as well as others would likely buy additional Sonos products. I honestly love the Play 3 as a product, makes great sound and great/simple interface, having had an Airport Extreme which had at least a headphone jack for streaming over 10 years ago, I'm surprised that it hasn't been part of the Sonos design.

I have a Sony ps-lx300usb. It has an internal preamp and is switched to "line". I have the turntable connected to the sonos connect amp with a y cable to play through my Sonos play 5. Yesterday, everything worked. I had some very old speakers that I also had hard wired to the connect-amp but disconnected them because they didn't sound very nice and only wanted to hear the music through the play-5 speaker. When I went to play the album today, I can't get any sound to come out of the play5 speaker. I've double checked all the connections, they are all secure and power is on. Please help. I don't understand how disconnecting the old hard wired speakers could have impacted the ability of the play5 speaker.

Hi, I would like to add a NAS to my switch so that I can transfer my music library to the NAS and access it from multiple devices. The library is currently in iTunes and I want to make sure that the NAS/Mac/Sonos combination all works.

I have 4 Yamaha NS-IW360C ceiling speakers with an impedance of 6 ohms each. How can I connect them to the SONOS Connect AMP to have two stereo zones? (Example: kitchen and dining room) No need to activate or deactivate any of the zones, they can always sound at the same time. Should I use a speaker selector? Do you recommend any? I also have a Yamaha YST-FSW150BL Advanced YST II Down-Firing Active Subwoofer, can I use this subwoofer with the SONOS Connect AMP? Thank you very much for your help.

I have a Sonos PLAY:1 in my office and it seems redundant to have PC speakers in there as well. Is there some way to connect the PC audio out to a PLAY:1?? Thanks so much!

My Sonos can currently be controlled by SmartThings and Alexa. I originally set up SmartThings so that I could turn the Sonos off and on via Alexa before Alexa supported Sonos directly. Now that Sonos integration with Alexa is released, I want to remove Sonos from SmartThings. For the life of me, I cannot find a way to deauthorize SmartThings. Am I just missing the obvious here, or is Sonos not giving users the option to deauthorize third parties?

Has anyone paired bluetooth headphones to a Gen 2 Play 5 using a 3rd party bluetooth transmitter / receiver? If it has been done please can you post a step by step guide on how to do it. Do you then play the music as normal through the Sonos app. Thank in advance.

I've been talking to my Playbar with UPnP. The GetZoneInfo command appears to be the command used by "About My Sonos System" and returns some familiar data, e.g. code: <u:GetZoneInfoResponse xmlns:u="urn:schemas-upnp-org:service:DeviceProperties:1"> <SerialNumber>5C-AA-FD-xx-xx-xx:F</SerialNumber> <SoftwareVersion>33.15-32291</SoftwareVersion> <DisplaySoftwareVersion>6.4</DisplaySoftwareVersion> <HardwareVersion>1.9.1.10-2</HardwareVersion> <IPAddress>10.0.x.x</IPAddress> <MACAddress>5C:AA:FD:xx:xx:xx</MACAddress> <CopyrightInfo>.. 2004-2015 Sonos, Inc.

I have the following setup: In-ceiling speakers connected through a Connect:AMP 2 Play:1 speakers in separate rooms 1 Connect Marantz NR1504 Receiver 2 PSB Alpha T1s AT-LP60 Turntable I want to be able to play the Television and the turntable through the Sonos system. What is the proper set-up?

I have a Connect AMP and just purchased a Marantz NR1504. Is there a way to play from the SONOS to the 1504 through the Network without connecting speaker output? Basically using the SONOS as my media player. Thanks

I have a Sonos Connect connected to an amp (more accurately a pair of active studio monitors, but effectively the same). Every time I start playing music for that room I need switch the power socket on for the multiplug that they're powered from. Other people may have amps that auto switch on when they detect an input signal but that's not an option for me. I would have thought its fairly common issue but I'm really struggling to find a solution. There's this discontinued product, the Parasound SCAMP: parasound.com/pdfs/vintage/scampom.pdf (Sorry, this forum won't let me post clickable links until I've posted 3 times!) Which while being on ebay is expensive, but more importantly the wrong voltage (and ideally would be better with kettle style power outputs, or at least UK sockets). I also found this, the ST-ACR2: rdlnet.com/product.php?page=278 But I have no idea how to hook this up, and even if I c

Hi. I have 17 Zone players at my house. We are in the process of replacing our NetGear router due to a malfunction with a UniFi security gateway (Router) and a UniFi switch (24 port). My question relates to the switch and if it will support STP. Currently I have a PLAY-5 wired to the router as well two Connect-AMPS I use for Bose speakers in the basement. My setup has been working flawlessly for several years with the NetGear router and switches. I dont have much experience with Ubiquiti products or their gateways & switches. I may have to connect just one Play-5 directly to the router and let this player start SONOSNET. If anyone has any experience with UniFi products and can share any setup issues etc that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

All I would like to do is add a record control to change volume.

I was wondering if a Sonos system can be provided with power by using POE. If not, are there any plans to integrate this in future releases?

I live in a condo that has open plan living, dining, kitchen area ( L shaped -- with the small part of the L being the kitchen). I have 2 Play:3's in the living room set up as stereo configuration, and a One on the kitchen counter. When I'm listening to music it would normally be from the living room speakers -- when I'm in the kitchen area, generally the One (and when at the breakfast counter bar. Currently the Play:3's are configured for "Living Room" and the One for "Kitchen". Sometimes I've got both of them running together ... here's my question. Can I add another "room" configuration that includes all the speakers? So I'd have the current "Living Room", "Kitchen" and then another "Big Room" (or whatever). I would then "tune" the "Big Room" to be optimized for the larger space with all three speakers running. Thanks!

Hi, I have an LG OLED TV and Xfinity. Is there a way to have two remotes control the volume on playbar setting (+sub+suround)? or can I only choose one? when we watch Xfinity we prefer to use Xfinity remote for X1 voice control that the LG Magic remote doesn't support, but then its annoying to back to LG remote for volume.

I have a ZP100 that has updated to 8.1 but will not register. I get a time out with the message "Setup Problem Check your internet connection and that all your players are plugged in". I have tried the registration process with this player many times over the last 2 weeks. Other players (ZP100s among them) have not had this issue.

We have a yoga studio with many instructors and 2 Sonos speakers. Can each instructor with their own Sonos login and app access the same set of speakers when they teach their own class?

Is there a change to how the latest software works? I am suspecting that the system now needs to always see a live internet connection, and that if it goes., the system will fail or the controller will lose connection to the players? We are in an area with little or no internet and use local content store, we also have systems on a boat that has no internet. The latest SW seems to prevent you from using the system if you do not have a permanent internet connection. If I am not using streaming services, why must I keep a connection open to the SONOS mothership?

Curious what innovative ways folks have integrated your SONOS connects with your existing receivers. I've tried a few things, but not thrilled with any of them unfortunately so far, and am tempted to just have a separate set of speakers/amp. How do you deal with volume control - Since volume control will be tied to other receiver sources like TV. How do you deal with source switching My answers to above: How do you deal with volume control: - I've tried fixed volume on SONOS, but then you still have to adjust volume in two places one for the other sonos devices not connected to receiver and one for the device on the receiver. - I've set receiver to have different volumes per source, so setting the source for the SONOS at a higher level compared to other sources, and then you can still do the adjustments on the SONOS controller for volume. This seems to be the best route, although unfortunat

How do I connect to a VPN. I use Keezel as a upload VPN device. Sonos will not connect to it.

I am currently implementing Wifi Mac Address filtering in my current company and our sonos runs off of wifi. With saying that I have to enter the wifi mac address into the WLAN controller to allow access for the sonos to still work. I know they say that you will just need to +1 to the end of the Serial number/ wired mac that is on the bottom sticker. However the issue I am having is some of the MAC's end in letters and I cannot +1 them unless lets say it ends in A then the wireless is B? Thanks for any help on this issue.

Currently have a Yamaha RX-V665 powering a 5-channel surround system in the MAIN room, and 3 pairs of speakers (with impedance-matching volume sliders) on the receiver's Zone2 speaker outputs. Plan to add a Sonos ZP80 as input source to the receiver. So playing music from Sonos involves turning on the receiver and setting it to input Sonos (one button on programmable universal remote, no problem there,) then using the Sonos app (or CR100 controller) to select & play music. OK all's well. It's when we go turn things OFF that I'm at a loss. If one simply turns off the main receiver (ALL OFF on the remote,) of course the sound stops, but the Sonos is still streaming music (using bandwidth) unless one explicitly remembers to stop it from the app/controller. One thought I have is to use an automatic power switch to power ON the Sonos when the receiver is powered on, and power down when the receiver goes off. But the delay at startup ma

I’m loving my sonos play 1 and sound bar so much that I’ve purchased three Connect amps to tie in my hard-wired speakers and run everything off Sono
