Sonos Amp and Sonos One very quiet

Hello there  I have a Sonos Amp and a number of Sonos Ones around the house. Whenever we play records in the house the volume on the Soho One is very quiet, relatively. By which I mean if you turn the volume way up it sounds fine, but then anything else played is super loud, and needs to be dialled back.  This happens across all speakers and there are no apparent issues with the setup, cables and connections are all fine. The record player is a Audi-technical and has never given me issues  Has anyone encountered this? Is this expected and just part of the setup, or is this something that with further investigations can be amended  Thanks in advance for any assistance

Era 300 front driver off in surround - topics being closed

Just wanting an update on this topic. I see requests for this are going on a year old and all topics relating to it are being closed for comments. Is this a feature that is being worked on? I recently bought 2 ERA 300’s and now debating returning them after finding this out. Like others have said I paid for 6 drivers and want to be able to use 6 drivers. Is there any updates on this concern that many customers seem to share?

Setting static IP addresses

[To avoid any confusion: this is about static IP addresses, not reserved IP addresses!]Is it possible to set/unset static IP addresses within Sonos devices?The reason I ask is that I have just been checking in my router to see what internal IP addresses are currently in use, and I find that one of my Sonos devices out of a total of eleven has an IP address which is not within my DHCP range. It’s actually permanently on an IP address that I have (for many years) had statically assigned to another device.What I would like to do is to stop it from using that IP address, and get it to request an IP address via DHCP - in my assigned DHCP range - like the other ten devices do.Note that this device is one of four in my system that are connected via Ethernet to my network.[As above, this is the distinction between static and reserved IP addresses: To set a reserved IP address, you configure your router’s DHCP server to recognise a device’s MAC address and always give it a specific IP address w

Era 100 with Turntable humming

Hi everyone! I’m finding there are multiple solutions to this issue depending on the set up and turntable. Basically I have set up my Music Hall MMF-1.3 Turntable to my two Era 100 using line in connected to a RCA to AUX and I’m getting a massive humming noise.Changing the source level to the lowest does resolve the issue, however I’m too understand it should be at 10 for a turntable so I don’t think I’m getting the best out of it. The humming also returns on a low level if the volume is too high, I like to listen to my records quite loud.I feel like a grounding cable might help, but I don’t know where I could connect the other end too given the Era 100 doesn’t have anything to connect it to.  Things to note:The turntable has a built-in phono pre-amp the tone arm is aluminium  each speaker is 0.6m either side of the turntable  The turntable also sits under my TV All of the adapters for my entertainment unit sit underneath where my turntable sits connected to a power board I have a feel

Sonos does not satisfy.

I bought into Sonos, and am starting to regret it. It is slow on my phone, cuts out, and is always updating but not better. So, …. Sonos where are you going? Is this going to be worth the pain in the end? I can get speakers anywhere. Can you tell me why I should keep your stuff?You keep offering free shipping. Shipping really isn’t relevant - that tells me you’ve lost your way. I’ve spent over $1,000. Keep the shipping, make the app work. This isn’t a pair of socks.

Connecting Sonos Ray with Denon AVR-S970H 5 ceiling speakers and sub

I just bought a Sonos Ray to compliment a newly purchased Denon AVR-S970H, five in ceiling speakers and a sub woofer.  I cannot figure out how to incorporate the newly bought Ray into my existing surround sound set-up.  I tried connecting the optical cord to the AVR, but both optical ports on the AVR are input, not output.I am not an audiophile, so I need some help.  Both Sonos and Denon CSR’s were not helpful.Can I connect the Ray to the AVR via HEOS or Wi-Fi?Any assistance would be appreciated.  Thank you!

Connection of Hearing Aids

This may not be directly related to the Sonos product but I am hoping one of the Sonos community has had the same issue and been able to resolve it.I have Oticon Minirite 1 hearing aids that use a streaming device to connect to the optical output on a TV to stream the audio from the TV to the hearing aids via bluetooth.I have an LG G3 TV and a Sonos Beam Gen 2 soundbar.If I connect the Beam Gen 2 via the eArc connection the TV locks out all other audio outputs (bluetooth and Optical). The result is I can’t have my hearing aid streamer and the soundbar connected at the same time.I have contacted LG and everything they recommended I try didn’t work. In the end they advised that this is how eArc works as it is the best audio output so all other outputs are disabled.I have an older LG that has Arc and if it is connected to a soundbar all other outputs still operate.Has anyone had the same experience and found a resolution?ThanksRegardsRalph

Sonos Era 100 not connecting to Sony PS-LX310BT Turntable via bluetooth

I recently bought two sonos era 100 speakers and no matter what I do neither one of them will connect to my sony PS-LX310BT turntable. I’ve had the turntable for awhile now and it has no problem connecting to other bluetooth speakers but they just won’t connect to my era 100 speakers.

Using USA device in India

Moving from USA to India with my Sonos Arc, Gen3 and Era 100. India has 220v power compared to 110v in USA. All of these devices specification says 100-240v. Does that mean that the US device will work just fine in India without a step down converter? Anyone in the community who has done that?

upcoming software update for iOS

Hello, I have read that there is going to be a new iOS software update and I’m curious to know if the update will continue to allow different aged speakers work on the same platform or will we have a scenario like the original Sonos app and now Sonos two, depending on the age of the product will depend what application it will need to run on. I have many many Sonos speakers throughout my three level home and I already have to run 2 apps for all of my speakers and I do not intend to add one more dollar until I am sure I won’t run into this scenario again.  Thanks for any update as I did plan to add a few smaller speakers with microphone but if more are to marked obsolete then I am done with sonos.  Thanks

Sonos and Synology BeeStation

Just bought a Synology BeeStation and tried to connect Sonos to it but I keep getting the error “Unable to add the music share //192.1.168.1.112/Music”.  Tried on my Mac and my iPad but get the same error. My Sonos devices are using the S2 OS as are my Mac/iPad applications. I have been using a Synology DS214se for many years and Sonos connects to it no problem. I contacted Synology support but they seem to think it is down to my Mac/iPad using smb1 instead of smb2 or smb3. They suggest I disable smb1 on my devices but that seems rather drastic.Anyone else managed to get Sonos talking to a BeeStation?

Feature Request: Allow limiting the max charge of battery-powered products.

Hiya! This is gonna be one heck of a first post for this forum. I’ve had a Sonos Roam for a while now, and I love the thing. Really, I do, or at least I did… then I started worrying. I had to RMA my first unit the year I got it, because the battery health had worn down so far during its usage cycle that it refused to start up anymore. For reference, this is what I experienced: The Roam refused to respond to the power/bluetooth sync button, media buttons, or microphone button. The Roam’s lights would not turn on, and the speaker would not connect to the local network. The speaker would let the power light fade on, sit a moment, then abruptly shut off entirely when at rest on its wireless charging pad. The speaker would not respond to the support rep’s “plug it in and leave it overnight” troubleshooting step. Later on in the day, I found that often times, the Roam and other battery-powered Sonos products relied on their batteries for things like keeping the internal clock running.

Search and play music on Youtube Music via Sonos app

When I choose YT Music from the Sonos music menu, all I see is a folder for playlists. When searching for specific songs/albums/artists in Sonos search, I never get any results. The only way I can get it to work on Sonos is just via AirPlay. Am I missing something or is the YT Music integration that limited?

LG - sonos arc occasionally no sound

Hi everyone, so I still have an issue with my LG C2 in combination with my Sonos arc. The arc occasionally stops playing sound. Before it only happened after switching from HDMI source (with Dolby enabled ps5 or Xbox) back to an internal app like YouTube. Problem is solved by changing the sound source on the tv (hdmi to tv speaker to hdmi). But now I’m surprised that even when I watch a tv show on the internal app of the tv itself, it still happens occasionally. When I’m watching a tv show in stereo or 5.1, when the next episode is loaded after the one I was watching was finished , there is no sound. The same trick as before solves the issue. The HDMI inputs have never been turned on in this case. All my setting are correct. I use passthrough and eArc. I have read every topic here and Reddit but couldn’t find a solution. Sonos sends me to LG and LG tells me silly thing like turning of auto power sync etc. Doesn’t solve the issue. Anyone else having this problem? If not, I’m starting to

Sonos Beam Gen1 and eARC with TCL 55P638K

Hi, I just changed my Sonos Beam from a Samsung TV ( sorry forget the model ) where the Beam worked seamlessly in that I could use Alexa to adjust volume on the TV etc. I moved the Beam to another property on a TCL 55P638K that has eARC. When I connect in the HDMI cable to the eARC port on the TV and then into the Beam and try to do the setup in the app it is telling me it doesn’t see a connection to an eARC port. I did a full reset of the Beam a couple of times and have also tried a Firestick in the eARC port and it is at least showing the pic and TV sound. The cable is the same cable I was using at the other property so I suspect it is not a cable issue although I do need to validate that. That said I’m fairly certain that is not the issue as I literally moved from one location to the other. Any suggestions welcome before I purchase the optical cable to HDMI adaptor and try that method ?Thanks,Dave.

Gapless playback issues after 15.2 update

Is anyone else having issues with Gapless playback after updating to 15.2? Scenario:I have been using a loopable track on Apple Music via the built in Sonos player to play sleep sounds every night for years. This created a seamless sound with Gapless playback. Problem:After the update to 15.2, there is a distinct gap between the end of the track and the beginning of the repeat making the feature unusable for sleep sounds. Fix NeededRestore previous function to allow Gapless playback on looped tracks.and/or Allow reverting to a previous firmware(Ideally allowing to revert by atleast two firmware revisions to allow people to experiment and see if a new update has fixed a previously experienced bug)
