Sonos Bridge/Boost for new products?

Will you guys ever have a bridge type range extender for current Sonos products. We constantly have deployments where the Sub is out of range. Additionally, can we get the ability to use the Sub Out port on an Amp when the amp is set up to power rear surround speakers?

Weird Challenge Grouping Rooms

I am having the strangest problem grouping rooms. I have eight Sonos speakers in eight separate rooms. They are a mix of Era 100 and 300 speakers. Four of each.I can group 2 rooms on a single Spotify stream but if I add a third room, the third room doesn’t play. The same as true if I had a fourth fifth sixth seventh or eighth room.If I begin with room A and B and then add room C room A and B play but room C does not. If I change the group to group room A and room C they will play, but if I add B. to that group, it will not.To make it even stranger I can group room A and B on a single stream and then separately group room, C and D on a different stream they all play but separate streams, but I can’t have all four rooms on the same stream.this is true for Sonos Radio, Spotify and Amazon  I can see every speaker in the controller and on the backend I can see every speaker has an IP address and can be pinged.Support has been little help  Any thoughts?

changing broadband provider

I’m researching broadband providers as my BT contract is about to expire. When I joined BT I was given a smart hub 3, which I could not link to the Sonos. Eventually BT gave me an old hub, which has worked. We also tried to link a TPlink system to extend the signal. Our house is 3 floors with foil back plasterboard providing good insulation. Can anyone provide simple practical advice for someone who is not technically minded before I cancel our contract and then find another supplier is going to provide a router that is incompatible with the Sonos system? Current top contender would seem to be EE as they are now in partnership with BT.

split s1/s2 system

I recently split my system after adding an arc sound bar.when I launch the s2 app I will intermittently receive an error that there are incompatible products and asks me to upgrade or setup a new system. If I close and reopen s2 app it will usually work normally. Sometimes I will have to close and reopen multiple times. S1 system works fine.

Getting connected

Hey everyone, we moved and I’m reconnecting two Sonos amps. In both instances I was able to restart and get them connected to my wifi (shows up as devices in the xfi gateway list).  When I go into to Sonos app it doesn’t show up but then I click join network and get a message “you’re connected to Sonos” but I can access the amps from the app.  Really confused and frustrated, been two hours.

Sonos balance des radios en vrac sans critère de tri

C’est incroyable. Au lieu de permettre un tri, même minimum, toutes les radios sont données en vrac, sans aucun classement, sans possibilité de recherche. Qu’il y ait au moins une organisation par exemple géographique, les radios françaises, italiennes, etc. permettrait de s’y retrouver facilement. Comme par ailleurs non seulement on paye l’équipe sonos, mais en plus on se fait polluer le cerveau par les publicités que sonos ajoute, peut-être faut-il envisager de changer d’équipement. Moderator Edit - Translation by Google:It's incredible. Instead of allowing even minimal sorting, all radio stations are given in bulk, without any classification, without the possibility of searching. That there is at least one organization, for example geographical, French, Italian radios, etc. would make it easy to navigate. Since not only do we pay the Sonos team, but we also have our brains polluted by the advertisements that Sonos adds, perhaps we should consider changing our equipment.

Hi community.I have a Sonos 300 and bought a Pro-Ject T1 EVO and a Sonos Line-In Adapter. Now I realise that the cable doesnt connect, as the T1 Evo has a RCA Cable outlet with black+Red but the Sonos line in has only 1 opening and it also doesnt fit.What do I need to get to make this work?

Music Indexing

Good afternoon, Can you help me with this frustration? I have a system with my stored music on it, which supports by Sonos system (two Sonos Ones, one Move and one Roam). The library indexing process acknowledges the albums, but won’t index all of the tracks. For example, this is the list of tracks from Brothers in Arms on the source database: Source Library Image  These are the tracks indexed on the Sonos library.Sonos Library ImageAs can be seen, only 4 of 9 tracks come through. This is not the only album so affected. I can play the tracks from the source database on Sonos. How to I get all of the tracks to index? All have the same format and metadata, as they have been ripped from discs I own at the same time. I have cleared the library link and reinitiated, with no success. Any help would be gratefully received.Thank you.

NEW APP; switching from one system to another made almost impossible

I have different places with different Sonos systems. Each with their own individual Sonos account. When moving form one place to another EACH TIME I have to "search for system" on the current network and login to the account attached. EACH TIME. @Sonos: WHY?!?!?!?This used to work flawless in the previous app. Only one time discovery per system and one time login per system and from then I could flawlessly switch from one place to another.

What on Earth Does Sonos Need to Actually Work?

Synology NAS drive plugged in with CAT-5 to Nighthawk AX5400 router. Play-3 plugged in with CAT-5 to same. Playing Music Library says “Network Unstable.”How TF is that even possible? Edit:Just adding, DL speeds of 528.02  Mbps and UL of 319.32. Not that that should matter since, you know, I’ve wired the entire MF “wireless” system and I’m not using any off-network resources. Moderator Note - Combined posts
