I moved a Sonos 1 speaker from one room to another. How do I rename that moved speaker on the iPhone app?

Are there headphones that work with the sonos

Hi all As the name suggests when my play3 connects to my Wifi Range extender, I get an error message saying sonos doesn't work with Wifi extenders. Does anyone know the rationale behind this? Also, what are my options in terms of trying to get a speaker to work in the dead spots of my apartment in lieu of an extender? Thanks in advance Paul

I have a connect amp which has dropped off my network. I attempted to reboot this a few times and although hardwired to my network it does not reappear in the list of players, nor does it appear to obtain an ip address from the router. After a few attempts at simple reboots by switching off, disconnecting power for 30 seconds and then turning it back on, I decided to try a hard reset. When I hold down the mute button and reapply power, the unit flashes white/orange about five times and then returns to solid white. It does not appear to perform the full reset or go to flashing green at any point. Ive tried doing a factory rest both with and without speakers connected, and with/without LAN cable connected. Am I looking at having to replace this amp? Any help much appreciated.

I know there is a lot on here about Echo Dot/Sonos intergration but how will that work with a Play 1 when there is no line in or bluetooth? I have Play 1 in several rooms and an Echo Dot and would love to be able to do this. Echo is SO useful that I am thinking of getting rid of the Play 1 speakers and getting bluetooth enabled alternatives. Can't afford the Play 5 by the way!!

I have a shure wireless microphone. I want to play it through a wireless speaker. I do not have any amp yet or other peripherals. Can I and what do I need to be able to play a microphone through your speakers? Thanks. Also, what is the size of room spec for the 2 larger speakers? 15 by 20? etc. If you buy one of the largest ones, how big of a room could it cover? My family room is 20 by 30? Do I need 2 speakers? or more? thanks.

Hello Fellow Sonos users!!! Just bought mine CONNECT used and had a thought that would use separate voltage supply that is free of all interferences and also would keep the unit cooler. Well, I measured all voltage leads and one is full of nothing, black is ground, red is 3.3V, yellow is 15V and brown is full zero and nothing seems to switch it on, tried using pre-out with max volume, coax out, ethernet connectors and wlan and still brown keeps silent. Would some one know what it should have or is it used on somekind of monitoring or transformer switching?🆒

I'm considering getting a Sonos setup, but already have some nice wired speakers I want to keep in one of the rooms. My questions is, can I connect these to the Connect:Amp along with some Play 1 speakers and have them all play together? I'm worried there could be some delay between the wired speakers and the wireless speakers.

Hi, this topic and question has been asked before and is a wanted request for the users or potential users of a Sonos connect. We want to have the possibility to trigger an external amplifier connected to the Sonos connect from standby to ON as well as back to standby then not playingi music so we dont have to run the amp 24/7. Is this function now in the plans for future development and to be released in the near future? Software solution or new hardware (new connect). A new hardware with a 12v trigger seem to be a simple 2015 upgrade? 🙂

I have a ZP90 bought in 2009.The main reason (initially) was it gave bit perfect sound and I found it is easily better than CD provided you rip with EAC. I now want a second one. However, looking on here for the first time in a while it seems the Connect isn't bit perfect. Seems strange, but it appears my old ZP90 is better than the current Connect. My question is this: If I buy a second hand ZP90 is it guaranteed to be bit perfect?

Have not seen this standard anywhere, it does not fit on usual suspects, PC mainboards pci-e, pci and it's way too big for any laptos, is it some industrial std or what, label do not give even partial hits. Maybe it's custom made card for Sonos, it's is possible but very expensive. One this interests me, how are they able to keep hackers out and users in, if they would use std computer parts, they be hacked within first 48 hours. Custom parts keeps huzzlers out and customers in because that is the hardest part, maintaining loyal user base that generates steady income and positive cash flow.

Hi, I'm planning on buying a Connect so I can use it with my current turntable setup. It occurred me that I can get rid of my Samsung HW-K430 (soundbar + subwoofer) if I connect my TV (Samsung KS8000) via optical input. Anything I should be aware of? Will this work or should I be looking for something else? Thanks!

Why 2 ethernet ports ? In and Out? Any benefit to daisy-chaining multiple Connect Amps?

I read that SONOS is concentrating their efforts on streaming instead of hardware. So I'm wondering from a hardware standpoint, is SONOS a dead end hardware-wise? The really havent released any thing new except for the Sonos Boost, mostly been hardware/software up dates. Although SONOS works flawlessly for me, other manufactures are developing their system, typically with improved loudspeakers etc

Where can i get a new power supply for my Sonos Bridge?

I am new to Sonos, I have purchased the 'Boost" and 5.1 system for my main audio video area, and plan on adding a Play 3 and Play 5 to other rooms, as well as a "Connect" at my turntable. Currently I have no drywall up so running wires are easy. I know the Soundbar needs to be connected to the tv & network. My question is should I hard wire the play 1's to the network switch with the Playbar, or do a separate small switch only for the playbar, and plays 1's, and future "Connect", that hooks up directly to the Boost that is connected directly to the router? I know not all speakers need to be hardwired, I just figured since its really no effort at the moment it would not be a bad idea. BTW I am not planning on wiring the sub woofer.

SONOS needs to make a new or additional version of their CONNECT model. Call it the CONNECT+ or something. It should contain better DA conversion, and much better AD conversion. A 12V TRIGGER IS A MUST so you can turn on an amplifier remotely and use the CONNECT+ as a simple preamp. With Denon now creating a near knock off system in regards to features (minus the separate mesh network) but with a 12V trigger, folks with more complex systems might choose their solution instead.

Hi there. So, I have an Nvidia Shield, and 3 Play:1's (one of them is being used in the kitchen only). I really want the sound from my shield (when using Kodi etc) to go out through the Play:1's I know this is not possible without another Sonos Product. This is why Im strongly considering buying the Connect. My question for you is: Will I be able to output sound from my Nvidia Shield, when the Connect is plugged into my Smart tv?

How can I use head phones while watching TV?

Hello, I use 2 play 1 at home et I would like to add a Connect, maybe a used one. I would like to know if there been different versions of Sonos Connect? If so, how do we recognize them and what are the risks, if any, of acquiring an old model? thank you in advance

I'm looking to add my B&W 805 speakers to my Sonos system. Currently I have a sonos connect and a independent Rotel power amp which I used to use to power the speakers from my old non sonos system. #1) Do I need the Rotel power amp to power my BW speakers or can I go from Sonos Connect direct to my B&W speakers. Thanks..

how do u connect sonos boost to your speakers if already connected to the sonos bridge

I recently got a sonos soundbar and sub. I am thinking about purchasing a project turntable to play my vinyl on, i am unsure if i need to purchase the sonos connect or will my exist amp suffice.

Dear Sonos, I am coming to a fork in my home automation/music evolution in my home. My question is, when will sonos be controllable via amazon echo? I am voice automating everything and I feel I may need to start going away from sonos and towards other technologies that are compatible with echo. What is the plan for sonos? when will i able able to control my sonos with my echos?

Hi, Sonos aside, what I'm trying to describe is how a song sounds when you listen to it with only 1 speaker (of a 2 speaker pair) activated and you can only hear one "half" of the song in that speaker. The leading instruments (as an example) sound muted, as they are supposed to be played out of the second speaker. This effect is happening on my solo Play 1 speaker, albeit only for certain songs. If you want to try and replicate, play "Dear Mr. Fantasy" from this album on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/4DVHx9Smqa6ZZX99rU4zkI For me, the leading vocals and guitar are quite muted. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
