Hello,Can i do the following: 1 sonos amp for ceiling speakers for my TV while streaming music for other ceiling speakers in my kitchen or sonos move at the same time?if not is there any option to let the sonos amp send streaming music only to ceiling speakers in my kitchen or sonos move while the TV is off Thanks 

Is it possible to connect and use both line-in and Ethernet at the same time using the combo adapter?Is it possible, in a multi room system with 4 era 100, to use more line in connections ; for example one connected with the turn table, one with the cd player and one with an internet radio ?Any help is appreciated. 

Hello,I just bought a new house that has in-wall speakers and a mount for a TV, but nothing else and I am new to Sonos. I’m looking for some advice on how to set up a home theater system.Here is the setup: there are a total of 8 in-wall speakers throughout the house that are all wired to one spot in a mechanical closet. The first 2 speakers flank a fireplace in the center of the living room, and the TV mount is off to the right side (i.e., not centered on the main 2 speakers). The TV mount is wired with power, HDMI, and ethernet. There are 2 more speakers behind the living room in the kitchen, which is open to the living room (so could be used a rears). There are 2 more speakers in an elevated loft space to the left of the living room which is open to the living room, so could be used with the TV theater setup but might throw the acoustics off since they are on the left and there is not a matching pair on the right. There are also 2 more speakers in a separate bedroom.One option I was

System with a playbase (wired), two ones (wireless) as rear surround. Just bought a sub (wireless) to complete the set, however getting it to connect has been a struggle and now that it's connected I'm not getting any sound out. Diagnostics are here.... 1199550220

I currently have a whole house audio system with 6 Sonos Amps.  In two of those rooms, I have a separate TV/Audio/Speaker setup with their own speakers tied to Sony STRAZ1000ES receivers.  All the Sonos amp as well as the STRAZ1000ES receivers are all nicely stacked in one location.  I know the STRAZ1000ES has the “Works with Sonos” feature but for the life of me I do not understand it.  Can someone provide direction and/or feasibility to do two things that I would love to accomplish with these lovely items. I would love to watch the TV and have the audio play through the whole house audio (Sonos Amps).  I see the TV Line in option on the Sonos app but from what I understand it is only available if I’m using a sound bar option? Is there a way to play the audio that is playing through the whole house audio through the STRAZ1000ES at the same time?  I assume this is what the “Works with Sonos” is all about but cannot figure it out.  Plus, since the receiver acts as my main audio player f

As says in the title. I have 2 Play:1 and a Play:3.Replugging the system doesn’t help. Only reboot. Router is the TP-link AX6000, Sonos is on 2.4 MHz, Laptops and phones are on 5 MHz. It happened before once in a while, but now it happens every day. Any suggestions?

I have a Sonos Port to which I have connected a pair of analog speakers via an amplifier. I would like to add an additional pair of analog speakers, along with an analog sub, to this system (also via a separate amplifier) to play in an entirely different part of my house.Is this possible? If so, what would the setup look like? My existing Sonos Port has only a single analog output.

Hi all!I am picking up my Sonos One SL pair today. I am looking for stands to put behind the sofa. The one from Sonos, Flexson and Sanus. I baby my speakers very much and don’t let kids near them but I am afraid neither of these are secure enough. The fact they just sit on top of the stand pole is unbelivable. What do u use and how are your experiences?However, I came accross the Soundbass stands which offer a unique locking mechanism so the speaker is secure. Has anyone one o these and how do they compare?Neven 

In my living room i have an Sonos Amp with 2 passive speakers. In the kitchen and outdoor i have sonos ones. I consider to by a victrola stream turntable. Is it possible to wireless connect this turntable to the Amp, so that i can play vinyl through the passive speakers? The Amp is in a closed tv cabinet, and putting the turntable nearby is not an option.

Hi all, Thanks in advance for any help you can offer. I’ve seen another post that never got resolved, so hoping to finally nail this one. The setup is simple. Sonos amp connected to two speakers (working perfectly), and a sub RCA line which is split into two RCA going into a FOSI subwoofer amp. I don’t know why, but the Sonos AMP is just not passing a signal to the FOSI. I can confirm that everyting from FOSI to the sub is working correctly, as if I play music via bluetooth to the FOSI (it is a BT receiver as well) the sub functions well. I have confirmed that when trying to use the Sonos AMP I have the FOSI set to the connected inputs and not BT, so it’s not that.  So…. any ideas? Oh, and I turned on the SUB option in the Sonos App, so it should be functioning properly.  Thanks so much for any thoughts. 

Sharing what worked for me, as the documentation in the original Zoneplayer ZP100 manual, online, and even in the Sonos S1 app could be MORE detailed and explicit about button presses, here is what worked for me when adding my old ZP100 to my existing sonos network. I already have another  ZP100 connected and am using SonosS1 app on mobile and on my computer. Firstly, be sure to use the Sonos S1 app on your phone, as the other sonos controller app isnt backwards compatible to the ZP100 and other ‘old’ amps and zone players ( on a separate but related topic if you have the newer app and a system mixing old and new - you can either run 2 separate sonos networks, or down grade your newer devices as per instructions here https://support.sonos.com/en-au/article/set-up-separate-s1-and-s2-sonos-systems) .  this ZP100 had been connected to my previous network, but as this one has a new name and probably lots of updates on it, It needed a ‘factory reset’. (the old way to set the zp100 to pairin

I’ve recently purchase an open-box Sonos Port from Best Buy, in US. After bringing it to Brazil, I found out it had been previously registered to an account that obviously I don’t have access. Will a factory reset allow me to register it to my account?

Sonos sound drops out when routing various music services via a Sonos Connect device (S1)My Sonos system is version S1 and comprises: Controller, Connect, and Play 5.Connections: Play 5 is a wired connection to Virgin Media router. Connect has a wireless connection to my home network and has a wired connection to my audio amplifier. My network has a Virgin Media Wi Fi Pod to improve network performance.What I know …..I previously had difficulties accessing the Sonos Controller in our main living area and this has been resolved by adding a Virgin Media Wi Fi Pod to strengthen the network signal (now showing 28 Mbps download speed).However, the audio feed through the Sonos Connect device is falling out at regular intervals (it’s off more than it’s on). This issue started before I fitted the Wi Fi Pod.My system previously included a Sonos Bridge, but the Sonos Community advised removing this when I contacted them at least a year ago. This improved the performance at the time.The Sonos Con

I have had my Port for a couple of months, and it has worked flawlessly.  Up until this morning, when only a white noise is streaming on the coaxial. It disappears if I change from pass-through to variable, and lower the volume to around 30, or lower. However, I want to use the pass-through or fixed at 100. How can this be resolved?

I had the Sanus stands for the 300's, but after getting new sofas, they were tk short for the taller furniture. I ordered two Sonos OEM Era 300 Stands. I have contacted support about the following issue and they asked me for and order number, which I have sent to them twice and no response. Where the support shaft (long shaft that goes from the base to the top support bracket) have about a 1/2" of play where the shaft cam be rotated back and forth ok the floor base. Is this normal for these stands or did I by blind luck get two stands with the same issue? Thanks in advance for any info 

I have a Sonos amp w 6 outdoor speakers and a sub.  I have been listening without issue for about 2 months and out of the blue, 3 speakers (left channel) have gone out.  Still listening to the right channel speakers w/out issue.  Before I start digging up my landscape any suggestions?

Trying to decide on 3 different Sonance speakers from Best Buy for our deck. I’ve looked at the specs but I can’t decide what I need. They range from $441, $569, to $879. The less expensive ones have good reviews. Do I really need the $879 for good quality sound with a bunch of people. How much difference to the ear is there?

Hello - After years of no issues, my Port suddenly stopped broadcasting music in the middle of listening to it today. Port still appears in my system. No issues with interconnectivity. Can still work for all other music channels / sources EXCEPT direct line in. I currently have a turntable plugged into it via a pre-amp. RCA’s to from the preamp’s out  to the PORT’s input. However Port no longer recognizes when this turntable or any other RCA device is plugged into it. It just shows as the LINE AN source as “disconnected” in the app. Any ideas? Attempted a reset, that did not work. Support seems stumped as well. I swapped RCA cables and devices. It’s as if the input just suddenly died while I happened to be using it. Any ideas?

Hello, everyone.I'm new to the forum, and I'm writing as I'm considering buying Sonos devices to implement multiroom at home.I have a big doubt though, I would also like to connect an old hi-fi system via Sonos PortI currently use the hi-fi system to listen to films, played on a Chromecast with Google TV connected to a projector.Now the big question, can I stream the audio of a film from the Chromecast to Sonos Port? If so could there be latency issues?Thanks in advance.

Hi All, My Sonos system previously had (2) amps and (1) one SL speaker and everything was working fine, (all items were hooked up wirelessly).  I did recently change my wireless provider but I reconnected all the devices with no issues.I added an additional one SL speaker to the system (total of 2 one SL speakers) and everything was working fine until one of my amps disappeared from the system shortly after adding the speaker. When I tried to factory reset the amp that disappeared, it keeps failing to connect to the network even through all the other Sonos devices are connected to the same network with no issues. I keep getting a message during set up that says “the connection to your Sonos Amp was lost.  Move your mobile device closer and make sure Sonos Amp is powered on.”  The amp and router are only about 5’ away from each other and the amp is obviously on during set up (my cell phone is also next to the amp during set up).  I tired to hard wire the amp with an ethernet cable but s

Looking to update my Sonos S1 system which includes a Bridge, Boost, and 2 Connects.  What do I upgrade to?

Hi All, I have an AVR and I connected a port to it. Now I can switch to the Port input and it will play stereo out the left and right channels in my theater. My AVR has sub pre-out’s and I want to purchase a powered sub and attach it to one of  the pre-outs. Will the Sub work with the music streaming out of the Sonos Port ? I obviously also expect the sub to work when I am just using the theater normally as well. I am still figuring out how to also replicate the stereo sound to my rear channels as well. I have a Denon S660H if that helps. Would appreciate any feedback on this.Thank you.​​​​​​​  

I’m looking to install 4 sonos ceiling speakers into a living/dining room, powered by one amp. The ceiling is sloped (single slope, shed roof style). The room is 25’ L x 17’ W. The slope runs along the long wall.My question is around placement and options for balancing the sound. Two options:Have all 4 speakers at the same height about 1/3 of the way up the slope. With the slope pitch, this would have the speakers face into the middle of the room. The speakers would not be so much left/right of the listener, more coming from one direction but at least all at the same height. Have 2 speakers at 1/3 way up the slope and another two directly in line with those at 2/3 up the slope. A more standard quadrant setup. However, they would not be at the same height. The issue here is how I’d control the balance of the higher vs closer speaker on the pitched ceiling. Would Trueplay be able to balance the height differences? I realize that without adding a second amp there is no way to control the

The AMP connects to the TV using ARC which means it should be able to receive a higher quality audio signal from streaming and local media.Even the first generation Sonos Beam supports it, yet the more expensive AMP does not. Is there any reason why this is the case?DD+ is vastly superior to DD, and considering most people who have the AMP pair higher end bookshelf speakers with the device, we should have the option to listen to DD+. What do you guys thing?

My system (running on Sonos Net) has been stable for about a year. For no reason, no WLAN changes etc. the r/h stereo pair (Play3 - deats below), keeps ”forgetting” its paired status and no music will play thru it. The L/H speaker works fine, whilst still paired. If I break the pair I can play music thru the individual R/H speaker without needing to reconnect to SonosNet or system. I can even re add the 2 speakers to a steep pair again with no problem. However, overnight the R/H speaker will stop playing in a pair and I have to repeat the same process. It is not dropping network or Sonos net connection overnight. I have removed the whole system and reconfigured it all again but same thing keeps happening. Also, recent software updates (latest = 15.7) removed my System Name from the config and only retained the speaker products. Had to re enter the System Name multiple times as keeps forgetting this setting. Also, when streaming from Spotify, crossfade does not work, tracks cut into eac
