Components and Architectural

Question & Inquiry about the setup that the Technician made in my Dad's house.

Hello if I may ask for some advice before any purchase, I live in a converted barn and the main living area is large with 5m vaulted ceiling and I wanted to ask how Sonos would perform in this space as our present and old 5.1 system when playing a movie seems to lose clarity on speech with all the background noise whereas watching say sky news with just the newscaster speaking is clear and I think it's the room and want to change to an updated better quality system and thought the experience of folks in this community maybe able to add some wisdom as to what sonos set up would work best, thank you

When will I be able to tell Siri or google or Alexa to play on sonos ?

Followed all the instructions and no sound coming from speakers.

Just a suggestion for wireless headphones. It would be cool if someone could walk around their house or where ever they are connected to wifi and steam any source of music that is listed on the controller to their headphones. The headphones would charge from a headphone hanger/dock and when ever you take them off you would resort to the prompting the user to select a source of music. They could also be used for a personal home theater like when one is watching a movie and they keep it playing to make some food or get something. They would be connected to the connect amp in order to get the home theater. Just a suggestion in case someone at Sonos would sees this. Feel free to message or comment on this post about the idea or to critique it. I will do some research into the whole idea to see if it is all possible.

Hi. There are 2 types of Sonos Connect Amp boxes, see the attachment. What are the differences? In what years the each boxes were sold?

I've got a couple of beautiful Clements Audio Speakers with Ribbon Tweeters that can handle an immense amount of power. I've had them hooked up to a ZP120 and they sounded great, but I recently picked up a 2nd ZP120 and tried using the left channel of one and the right channel of the other to drive the pair of speakers and they literally "came alive". Controlling the volume on them is no problem as long as take the two amps and group them together but when I add them to a larger group, (I've got components and Zones all over the house) it becomes problematic. I need to control left and right independantly. Is there a way to set up 2 Amps as a stereo pair as can be done with a pair of Play 1, 3, or 5s?

wifi error

We tried to set up a Play 3 and Play 1 at our office, but when they created their own network during setup, it used the same IP address as one of our other offices and our ISP saw it as a potential security threat and kicked us offline. Is there anyway that we can set up the speakers without the temporary network or can we change the IP address?

I have a new Sonos Play 5, which is in the gym extension. My wifi does not go to that area too well, so added a Sonos boost closer to the gym. However, after setting it all up, whenever i go into the gym, the Sonos app defaults to 'You need to be connected to a wifi network' message. How do I test the Boost signal, or see it I am connecting to my network, through it, or if the PLay 5 is connecting to the boost??? This is really frustrating. I am using an iPhone 7+. When i do a WiFi sarch, it just sees my hub, not the boost? I thought Sonos was suposed to 'just work'!! Please help.

Hey people, I have two Sonos Play 5's (Gen 2). I have them currently set up to my wireless router but i'd like to bring these speakers to my beach house where there is no wifi. Is there any solution you could suggest? and would i use them both? Cheers, Benny

Please can someone help me? Controllers had stopped connecting to Sonos. I'm running 3 play1's a playbar and sub connected to the bridge. The bridge is showing a intermittent white light flash, no lights on reverse. I have: Removed all devices from network Restarted Router Power to Bridge Powered speakers one by one (flash white, then end at solid orange) Replaced Ethernet cable to Bridge = No fix Just hardwired ethernet straight into a Play 1 = system up and controllers all working! My Questions Do I actually need a bridge? I can't even see where to buy one? I don't want to have a Play 1 hardwired in its current (fix position) - Is there a way to run without one over wifi? Others seem to be running play1 without a bridge, do I have old hardware? (18months)? Hope someone can advise me!

I have a Sono Play:3 set-up in my Den - and connected as 'Room: Den'. I would like to disconnect from 'Room:Den' and add to my Living Room home theatre. How do I disconnect?

Hi people, wanting to know if the Echo dot or the Eco will pair with the connect amp. e.g echo in the kitchen and I say Alexa turn on radio. ? I know it can connect via the 3.5 jack but the amps are not in the same location as speakers. Thanks for any help.

Hi there, I have just purchased a play 5 and want to connect a turntable to it, should I go for a Flexon vinylplay or a Rega RP1 with a pre amp? If it's the RP1 which amp would you recommend? Obviously I would like the best sound possible for about that kind of money, any help or advice will be appreciated. .

I recently purchased the 5.1 Sonos package in Canada and will be relocating my belongings to Europe in a month. I would like to bring my equipment with me. Do you know if I can order a new set of European power cables for my speakers (or) if the speakers will be able to handle the higher wattage in Europe? I don't want to purchase power adaptors for each speaker as I would ideally like to have EU cables.

Hi I have been using sonos app with my home sonos setup for awhile. Adding a new system setup at work...how can the app be setup to access both? Completely different sonos systems, wifi, etc. What is best way to do this through the app?

This question probably has already been answered but can not find a specific answer to it. Can or will there be Sonos integration with Echo Dot using a Sonos CONNECT wireless streamer without using line in ( voice control through Alexa) I am not referring to Play speakers but Sonos Connect Device. Thanks

Is there a way to integrate Sonos with a Wink Hub2? I want to connect it to my Ring door bell since I already have eight Play 1's all through out my house including a Connect Amp with outdoor speakers. I want to make sure I can hear my door Bell no matter where I am from home. Also by integrating with Wink, I was hoping to connect it to Alexa or something similar so I can give my Sonos voice commands like I do with my Xbox One and Kinect. Is this all possible?

My system consists of Boost, Stereo Pair Gen2 Play5, Connect and five Play1s,. I have Sonosnet set to channel 11 and my home 2.4ghz network (ASUS RT-66 Merlin Firmware) set to channel 1. Channel 6 is always congested. My immediate neighbour has a Sky router that must be set to Auto as it is regularly changing channel, causing me dropouts. Sonosnet does not appear as a continuous signal, popping up on inSSIDer as multiple connections when Sonos is playing but only occasionally when not playing. My questions are: Is there a way of having Sonosnet active continuously so as to block my neighbours Auto wanderings? My 2.4ghz channel 1 home WiFi is little utilised, but appears as a constant signal and as most of my other devices are connected to the 5ghz WiFi so can I have Sonosnet co-existing on channel 1 without too much issue or is the mere presence of a signal from my 2.4ghz WiFi going to cause me lots of problems? ? I wish Sonos would consider using 5ghz for

Trying to connect the following: Samsung UN60JU6390 ZP90 Play 1 Play 3 I have an optical line connected between the ZP90 and the Samsung. I cannot get it to connect. Does anyone have a suggestion on how I can get this to work? Thanks for your help!

Hey guys, I recently got two Play:1 speakers and wanted to be able to play my turntable/vinyl directly to them. I went out and bought a Connect (various websites pointed to this as a solution), but am having second thoughts now as the Play:5 is about $150 more, but can connect a turntable and be a great sound boost/addition. I am noticing that I am getting some drop outs while using the turntable with the Connect. Is a turntable connected directly to a Play:5 more reliable? I currently have no pre-existing amp/speakers that I can connect to the Connect. Would it be worth it to fork out the extra cash and grab the Play5 so that I can play vinyl in addition to using it with my existing Play:1s? Or are there other features that the Connect offers that I am overlooking? Just want to be sure I've made the right decision... Thanks in advance.

So basically I don't use my Sonos too often, but when I do, it never shows up on either of my controllers (iPad and iphone) until I have reset the router. I don't have a bridge or boost. I'm pretty sure it isn't the strength of the wifi because it stays within the two to three bar region. It connects within minutes of me resetting the router, and stays connected for the entirety of the music session, until I close the app. I only got it a few days ago, so it can't be wear and tear at all. Can someone help me?

I upgraded to a dual band 5Ghz router this weekend only to discover that Sonos only works on 2.4 Ghz. I have an old Sonos Bridge that I had stuffed into a drawer a while ago. Is it time to dust it off? Does anyone know whether using the Sonos Bridge will resolve the network issue?
