Feature Request: Allow TruePlay for non Sonos main speakers

I’d really like to see this feature come to AMP. The fact that it is possible for the same speakers as surrounds means it should be possible for the same speakers as mains. I get Sonos wants ppl to purchase their own speakers but this isn’t always feasible. It would be a great differentiator if this feature was added.

Connecting songs amp with existing speakers

Hi, We are buying a set of turntables and also considering buying a sonos amp so that we can have our existing Sonos speakers and turntable all on one system. We currently have one Play 1 and one Play 5 speakers. We will ultimately buy some stereo speakers for the amp/turntables, but initially we’d would like to just use the existing Sonos speakers that we have. I had two questions:Am I correct to assume that we will be able to connect the Play 1 and Play 5 speakers (each in different rooms), via the amp, to our turntables, and run them as mono speakers? Once we have acquired a set of stereo speakers to add the set up, will we be able to continue using the Play 1 and Play 5 as mono speakers, whilst using the new speakers as a stereo set up?Thanks.

Behaviour of the Sonos Amp connecting LineIn AND HDMI

Hi there,I am considering to add the Sonos Amp to my setup, but I´ve got some questions:Lets say I connect my PC to it using the ARC port (via optical) and my laptop using LineIn. I would love to set up so that a signal from the ARC input auto-plays on the connected passive speakers, while a LineIn input auto-plays to another speaker. This never happens at the same time, but I don´t want to change the autoplay setting every time using it for the other input/player-combination. Is there a way to set this up?Adding another port to my setup for the LineIn part would solve my problem, but I am trying to prevent this.Thank you for your help and have a nice weekend :DKind regards,Max

How to Select between two sonos soundbars with a single tv

I have a sonos playbar and a sonos beam. I want to send the signal from the tv to the soundbar that I select. I do not want to split the signal between both I want to choose which soundbar I send the sound source to. I have looked for a toslink switch (playbar does not have HDMI) that would be one in and then select via a remote either sound bar but I have not been able to find one. Everything I find the switch selects the input and sends it to a single output. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated

Denon X3700H to Sonos port and speakers

Hello all,I’m looking to improve the sound in my golf simulator room by using some of my spare Sonos play 1 speakers which I was hoping to link to my Denon 3700H AVR. I would be obliged if someone could take a look at the connections on the back of the AVR and advise whether this can be connected to a Sonos Port or similar and indeed how I would do so? Many thanks in advance.

Lost Port from System

Have been using Port plus pair of Ones and 1 Play 1 for over 2 years. Listening the other night I paused play from my Apple watch for a couple of minutes and when I started playing again from my phone the Port had disappeared from system on phone. On my laptop the Port was still there and would play but the other speakers were not  there. After doing Factory reset several time apparently successfully, I could still not add the Port to my system. By now the port had also gone from laptop, which has got the other speakers back.

Looking for options for white bookshelf speaker to go with Sonos Amp

Hey all, I’m redoing our main family room and looking to go Amp+Bookshelf speakers. We mostly listen to music in this room, but want to be able to pipe the TV from time to time, so looks like Sonos amp. I haven’t shopped for HiFi speakers in years. Prior to switching to Sonos, I had a Focal 5.1 that I really liked. Curious what lines I should be looking at? KEF Q150 is on my radar. It’s a little more than I wanted to spend, but hoping y’all might help me narrow the field a bit. TIA!

Using Arc As Rear Speaker

Hello! I recently purchased a set that included Arc, Sub (Gen 3), One SL (Pair), but I’m now realizing that I will not be able to use all the components together due to the layout of the room and placement of the TV. As we figure out what to do, I’m hoping that a Sonos savant on here could answer the following:can I use the Arc as the rear speaker (behind where we sit while watching TV) and the pair of Ones as the front speakers (next to the tv) I have the option of hanging the Arc above the TV but it will be a few inches from the ceiling. I’ve read this is a bad idea. True? If I decide to not use the Arc, is it possible to just pair the Ones with the sub?Thanks for your thoughts!

It defaults back to line-in.Line-in is connected to a set top box.My other Sonos kit always presents its most recent content to resume playing after being inactive.Any ideas out there that will make 5he play 5 behave?I'm on S2.
