Components and Architectural

I just installed a Sonos surround sound system for my TV HDMI ARC output -- Beam, Sub, two One SL’s, all brand new, latest generations.  The TV puts out the HDMI ARC signal from several sources (cable box, Roku Ultra, Blu-ray player), all fed to it through an HDMI switch.  It all works perfectly.I want to add Bluetooth headphones for use when the speakers are otherwise silenced.  If I install a Port, and feed the audio out to a Bluetooth transmitter, will the signal persist if the speakers are muted?  Or is some other solution possible?  If not, perhaps Port is not the answer, and then, what is?The TV has optical out but works only when the signal is from the cable box.  I’ve researched this with Aluratek, the maker of Bluetooth transmitter/receivers, and determined with them that this, while unfortunate, is expected.  And the TV has no aux out.Thank you.

Hi. Just looking for a 35cm or 50cm white power lead for my Five's. Everything seems to refer to Play 5's. Are they the same ? Thank you. 

I have just noticed the red LED above the white status LED comes on when volume is off. It goes off when volume is turned up. Why has it started and can I turn the LED off (I know I can turn the status LED off but it's above that)? Thanks. 

I have seen a ton of articles coming out within the past day regarding a potential mini Sub. Just wanted to throw that out there for discussion. Good/bad idea? Pricing? Interested? Etc..?

I would like to stream music into my receivers (I have 2) - will a splitter on 1 Port work for 2 Receivers? 

Hi,I have a Sonos Amp currently running 2 outdoor Sonance speakers. I understand the Amp can run 2 pairs of Sonance speakers wired in parallel.My Amp is right in the centre of the house and it is a very tortuous route to outside, also our house is 300+ years old and the walls are enormously thick. I managed to get the cable for the current Sonance speakers through the house when we had floors up and through the wall using a redundant Virgin media hole which had been drilled previously by an engineer.To add a second set of Sonance outdoor speakers, I don’t really want to have to take up floors and try to drill through the wall (it’s close to 1m thick in places). Could I simply cut the current cable outside the house and add one of these:https://www.richersounds.com/qed-3-way-speaker-switch.htmlThen use the existing cables f

There are a lot of people with questions regarding Sono Port sound quality, and the topics always seem to be closed.  I just acquired a Sonos Port because I was excited about adding that capability to my HiFi setup. I was excited about the functionality, and the Port accomplishes the connected and streaming tasks just fine, love the automatic input selection for the Aux input.But the sound: It’s flat, lacks detail, it even sounds like there is an arbitrary roll-off on high and low frequencies.  The imaging is horrible. Music sound “canned” and “lifeless”. For those just using background music while they have a dinner party, you wouldn’t notice. But if you intend to just sit back with a glass of wine and listen to music on purpose, the sound is sorely lacking.I’m using “good” quality components: vintage Marantz Receiver (restored) and relatively new BW Speakers. I’m not trying compare Spotify to listening to vinyl (which sounds great on my system), but I expected the Po

Bonjourj’utilse actuellement chez moi un SONOS one en partage de connexion avec mon PC (je n’ai pas de box internet)Je ne sais plus comment j’ai réussi a faire fonctionner ma sonos one comme ca (ca doit être l’âge) mais ca marche !j’ai acquis récemment  un sonos port pour écouter mes vinyles , mais je n’arrive pas à le connecter avec le sonos one…je suis donc preneur d’un conseil pour réaliser cette configuration si elle est possible Merci par avance pour vos réponse  

Hi, I think it would be great to add the same HDMI ARC input to the SONOS PORT as the SONOS AMP have today so PORT can be seemlessly integrated to a TV set in the same way as Sonos AMP can but then use an amplifier and spreakers of choice. This would be a great upgrade in my eyes. Thanks /Fredrik

Willing to buy Sony Speakers #SRS-RA3000 which has Voice assistant and Bluetooth and Wifi (compatible with Google Home group-multi room).How do I know if it will be compatible with my Sonos AMP?https://electronics.sony.com/audio/speakers/360-reality-audio/p/srsra3000-b

Hi I will get a Sonos Port for Xmas in order to integrate my analogue sound system based on Martantz PM8005, B&W 601, Turntable with Sonos world.Turntable is played only via Marantz and will only goes to B&W without entering digital world.Digital sources are the TV Philips ambilight that via optical fibre and a DAC goes in one of Maratnz RCA input, and Spotify either via TV or via Sonos App.I need to keep the TV via optical fibre to DAC and Marantz because when watching TV this is the way to have the audioWhat I would like to implement is either when I stream from TV or from SONOS app the source goes in the Marantz and in parallel wireless from the Port to Sonos One SL avoiding delay. First question is there a possibility in SONOS App to tune the delay to avoid echo effect between analog world (Martantz) and digital world (Sonos)What could you  suggest as connection layout ? 

Hey everyone.  I am brand spanking new to using any Sonia components at all.  My father has his entire home, including a hifi Klipsch based HT set up with a connect and THREE outdoor zones (maybe 9 zones total. He’s AALLLLL in!) connected so I am not new to using Sonos.  Well, I’ve finally relented on my passion for only using wired hi-fi set ups exclusively.   I would now like to use a Connect gen 2 that i will be buying from an eBay seller to save a bit since I’m also buying 2-3 Sonos Ones.  MY QUESTION IS:  Does a Connect gen 2 work with Sonos’s most current app/ecosystem??Will it work with the S2 app??

Je voudrais connecter ma platine pioneer avec pre amplificateur à mon système sonos. J'ai lu de nombreuses questions-reponses mais je n'ai pas trouver la réponse sûre à mon besoin.Ma platine étant pré-amplifiée que dois- je nui ajouter :  sonos five ou bien sonos amp ou encore une autre chose ?Je précise que mon installation sonos constitue à avoir depuis des années 1 à 2 enceintes de base par pièces. Soit 6 enceintes.C'est la première fois que je pose une question sur un forum, je remercie d'avance ceux qui voudront bien m'aider Ryvale.

Hi to communityI know that would be lame question but I was not able to find the answer in manual:((I’ve just got sonos amp today and as it works, streaming music, similar to other sonos parts I have, I’m wonder if touch buttons on the front are backlighted or not ? thx W 

Hi there! I have multiple Sonos amps in my house, one of which is connected to a TV via HDMI arc. I often play audio via Airplay 2 across the whole house, but then when someone turns on the TV in the living room it auto disconnects Airplay in the rest of the house. How can I keep the Music playing and Airplay connected in the rest of the house when someone turns on the TV? 

Hi can you pair a turntable to 2 sonos 5’s ?, I know you have to wire 1 in , but will it then play on both speakers????

If i hook up the port to my reciever and wired system will i also be able to use the arc and the sub to play music?  Essentially I’d like all speakers to fire as I stream to the port. Two front wired and two back wired along with ARC and Sub. Can that be done?

Hoping someone could advise on what the depth (front to back) of the flat portion of the Sonos Arc is? Thank you. 

Hi. Im trying to use my Sonos Port with Denon Amp. (DENON DRA-800H) with no luck. There is no sound from input (output works). I’ve connected Port using RCA to CD 2 IN port, no sound. Then I’ve used COAX cable to connect to CD IN port, no sound as well. Im sure that Port is streaming, because when I connect it to Phono input, the sound plays as it should. Any help help? 

I own 4 Sonos AMP and they do not go on stanby, never.I’m measuring power consuption and its always 64W.They are connected by ethernet cable and with wifi disabled.Any idea how to put them on standby?PS: I know they supposedly go in standby after 3 minutes without usage. Not my case :(

Can we please get back the ability to adjust the crossover on the sub. Why was that removed it was a great feature and made the system sound so much better.   Thanks 

I have a Beam (1st gen) and two supporting One SL speakers left and right of my TV, in a compact set-up in a small room. I also have a Blu-ray player connected to the TV. I recently dug out my old CD collection and realised I’d like to play them again through my Beam and One SL speakers, but independently of the TV i.e. not using the Blu-ray player. The idea is I’d like to play my CDs without switching the TV on, or to have something else on the screen without needing to keep it on the Blu-ray input for the sound.Is there any way I can do this, if I was to purchase a small standalone CD player which could just connect directly to the Beam? I realise I only have the HDMI port at the back of the Beam, which is currently connected to the ARC-compatible port on the TV.Ideally I wouldn’t want to disturb my existing set-up too much, as it’s a compact space and hard to access at the back. I appreciate there’s probably not a workaround for what I’m looking for, but thou

I wanna buy a turn table to play vinyl via a preamp on two play 5 (2 nd gen) speakers set on stereo and I was wondering if the line in mode keep the sound analog 🤔

Found out that my Connect:AMP is dead after 3 years.  Was told by support that “It happens” when something is “always on”.  I can’t help but wonder what will die next.  I’m looking for alternatives to the Connect:AMP from another vendor that stands behind their products better than Sonos.  Does anyone have any suggestions?Thank you!

Hi, I have the Sonos AMP with in-ceiling speakers, it supports Airplay 2 but I can not find the amp on any of my iOS/iPadOS devices. I’ve cycled power on the AMP, yet I do not see the AMP when I try to connect via Airplay. The sound is set to stereo and not surround, Is anyone else having this issue? Any tips or recommendations are welcomed.  In the Sonos app settings > System > Airplay it shows my device as compatible.
