Retour de commande

Bonjour,J'ai effectué un retour car le modèle n'est pas celui que voulait mon conjoint, j'ai eu le bordereau de retour et ai posté le colis dans un point relais comme demandé, je n'ai pas de nouvelle sur le transport du colis.

Feature Request: Simultaneous wifi and bluetooth

I don’t see this being possible in current products. I assume it would require being implemented in future product releases if implemented.Essentially, it would be nice to support bluetooth and wifi connectivity simultaneously. My reasoning is mainly for linking multiple sonos together. I have a record player with bluetooth capabilities. I have it linked to my Sonos Move via Bluetooth (I’m not here to discuss quality… this is just a convenient way to listen sometimes). Although it’s connected via bluetooth, I’m still at home where wifi is available. It would be convenient and really cool if I could share this bluetooth connection with other sonos speakers, so I can play my bluetooth source with the rest of the house. The hardware is already there, it just needs the software capability to support such a thing. I could see this having many uses in general, at the least for having a stereo pair of sonos speakers for listening to bluetooth entertainment sources.

fallos con dispositivo Apple Tv

Hay un fallo con Apple Tv, las bocinas se desconectan cada 5 o 10 minutos en la app de Netflix. Para YouTube hay que salir y entrar del video en reproducción para que el audio salga por las Sonos. Muchos fallos al conectar de inicio las Sonos a dispositivos Apple (iPhone, Apple Tv, Mac Mini y iPad Pro) Muy bien audio pero muchos fallos Moderator edit:Google Translate-There is a bug with Apple TV, the speakers disconnect every 5 or 10 minutes in the Netflix app. For YouTube you have to exit and enter the video being played so that the audio comes out through the Sonos. Many errors when connecting the Sonos to Apple devices (iPhone, Apple TV, Mac Mini and iPad Pro) very good audio but many errors

Tidal - do you get complete access to Tidal thru Sonos?

Hey Sonos community,I do not know how many of you use Tidal, but here’s what I found/experienced thus far using Tidal. When I do a search for an Artist within Sonos my return is half or less what I get back doing the exact same search on Tidal directly.  Do you experience the same thing? For example try searching for “Zola Blood” under albums on Tidal,  you get back 7 albums. When I do the exact same search on Sonos via the Tidal integration that Sonos markets so  prominently - you only get 3 albums on the return - What gives?? Anyone have any ideas as to WHY??

Sonos products vs Nest WiFi6 Pro

Greetings, Has anyone had issues connecting Sonos products to the new Nest Google WiFi Pro mesh? Last week, I updated my Nest google WiFi mesh to their new Nest WiFi Pro mesh. I immediately started having issues with my Sonos system. Speakers were disconnecting unexpectly, especially the Era 300 and 100s. My arc now cuts in and out during TV play. I called Sonos support and we troubleshooted, but only temporary success. I’m going to switch back to the old mesh system.

Terrible Refund Service

Returned a sub woofer January 2024. They relabeled and sent back to us. We returned it again and have POD on 2/13/24. To date, we are continually told supervisor Belen keeps asking the warehouse to search for it and doesn’t receive a response. How is that our problem?!? Sonos received our POD twice! We call once a week and get the same response. We proved it was received, we demand our refund!

setup help

Can I not run both the s1 and s2 apps in my household? I’m so confused. I recently bought the Roam for on the go and it won’t let me setup. I have 7-8 sonos devices from over probably 8 years and I know some are legacy and some are not. At this point, I have to figure out how to settle all that but I want my portable roam to work soon. Do I have to erase my prior Sonos life to get this done?

I am never buying another Sonos Product and here is why.

First Thing, I just want to say that I love the support and community and I think you’re all great and very helpful. That being said: No Youtube Cast SupportWhy doesn’t Sonos support Casting form Youtube Music App? Answer: Because Sonos sued Google, and won. Now the higher ups are “sticking it to them” and the consumers by withholding the feature. You have lost my trust and probably others because of pettiness, nothing more.(I considered moving to another server like Spoitify which is what I think they’re persuading users to do.) What next? Another lawsuit which you not only win, but also remove features from involved platforms. Note: Even if there another reasonable explanation, the lack of communication on the matter has me frustrated and committed to moving on. 5 Year limitation on updates.Even though the speakers still work on the applications (FOR NOW), Sonos can turn that off at any time and there is nothing I or anyone else can do about it.Planned obsolescence is a plague in the

OFFSITE PLAYER FOR SONOS

We use SONOS for our hospitality business, and would like to be able to control the music offsite remotely. At the moment we have 3 POS system computers with SONOS loaded to windows that I can remote desktop to, but In would really like an offsite master control to ensure music stays on track.

How to experience Dloby Atmos through an LG OLED C1 tv

I have an LG C1 OLED tv with an Ultra HD Sky Q box.My setup is a Sonos Arc + Sub + 2 One SL speakers.Sound out: HDMI ARCDTV Audio Setting: AUTOHDMI Input Audio Format: BitstreamDigital Sound Out: Pass ThrougheARC: Enabled I tried for months to receive Dolby Atmos whilst watching Netflix without success until now… Instead of accessing Netflix through my Sky box, I opened Netflix via the app on my tv. I selected “All quiet on the Western front” movie, knowing it was capable of streaming Dolby Atmos and there it was… Dolby Atmos instead of streaming 5.1 which is what I only received using Netflix through Sky.

Adding mic on/off toggle to software

Hello, I’d love to see Sonos add mic on/off toggle in software and perhaps an admin pw protection to enable/disable the hardware (and software) control. This would allow the owner to set how it’s controlled and who controls it.

Guessing this is already been suggested, but would be cool to come out with a pair of headphones wireless, of course that hook up to your Sonos speakers and whatever is playing at the time (a movie). Thanks

Greenwashing

This was the headline to an email I received last month. I nearly spat out my coffee at the screen.Since their invention, speakers haven’t needed to be upgraded with software updates.Good speakers, and I do consider Sonos good speakers, only need to be replaced when the cones, or some other physical component, is knackered. A speaker isn’t a tech consumable with a lifespan under 10 years, a good speaker can be cherished and passed on through generations.Sonos you are a speaker company. You do not build hardware like computers, or phones - your software shouldn’t be entangled in an arms race for more CPU/GPU/RAM etc. so why the need for hardware upgrades? How much software is needed to drive a speaker?NASA put a man on the moon using less computing power. Your excellent audio engineers must be pissed off that your software team produce such bloated code that it effectively kills off their work.It’s a cynical business model that embraces redundancy to drive repeat revenue, locking your c

Adding Songs to Queue

About 5 years ago this topic was dealt with (see below), but excuse my inexperience, I don’t quite understand the answer shown ie I cannot see where I have to make the change. Take pity on me, I am an S1 user. How and where on my S1 app to do I go? Many thanks.  Is there a way to add all my songs on my iphone to the queue in one step? Browse to "on this phone" then a play all. Same question for the PC controller. I find it very frustrating to have to build a playlist.iconBest answer by jgatieBrowse to the library either On This Phone or My Music Lubrary, choose Songs, choose Play All or Shuffle All.

Feature Request: DHCP Option 60 - Vendor Class Identifier - Population (e.g. "Sonos...")

Hello!A thing that might help out a number of people with larger or more complex setups to correctly and automatically group their Sonos gear logically together from an IP Addressing perspective, and possibly assigning specialized options as well, would be a very minor tweak to the DHCP Client on the Sonos appliances.Simply populate DHCP Option 60 (for IPv4, and Option 16 for IPv6), with text that starts with “Sonos”.Many DHCP servers have the capability to change their behavior for IP and option assignment based on values off of those values.Thank you for your consideration!

Hi,would be nice to have, as at least one manufacturer has, the possibility to add individual radio streaming links. Not bonded to any radio platform. Just one link for streaming and another one for the station logo.
