Components and Architectural

I have the line out from the Amazon Dot broken out to a left and right RCA connector into the back of a Connect:AMP. When playing a source such as Spotify from the Dot I only receive mono sound from my Play 5. I verified the 1/8 connector into the Dot is indeed stereo (has the two rings). Can someone verify for me that this should be stereo?

Inotherwords, should I plan to spend a huge amount of money to have my existing in wall and ceiling speakers be controlled as separate zones?

Hello, I have a Beoplay a9 in the living room and a play 5 gen2 in the kitchen. I'm very interested in getting the sonos connect to group them and to make it sounds both a the same time. Someone with the same setup? I'd like to know if there might be a delay between the a9 and the play5. I read that with some AV there is a significant delay. I really don't want to hear echos if I listen them at same time. Thanks

It seems to be that countless people have asked for connectivity between their Echo devices and the Sonos CONTROLLER and Sonos has been slow to respond. Sure you can connect a DOT to a Connect or a Speaker "big deal" you could always do that. I have 3 Dots and a Echo. I also have Sonos through out my house and I like listening to Sonos when I go to bed, but instead find myself using my Dot and a Bluetooth speaker, because I can't control my Sonos with the Amazon Dot on my bed stand. Sonos users want voice control of their Sonos systems, I understand Sonos is working on that, but it should have been done a year ago. Get us something, now and enhance it later. "Alexa play music for meditation on my Sonos system." "Alexa set Sonos sleep timer for 30 minutes." "Alexa play my podcast on my Sonos system." etc. The Amazon Echo and Google Home are not competitors, they will be enhancers of the Sonos system. If I were in the market now, I wouldn't buy a So

I have heard the announcements regarding Amazon. and Sonos working together in the future but I have a question concerning current components and thief abilities. Can I run a 3.5 male to male from an Amazon tap into a Sonos 5 ? I have attempted to connect both components as mentioned but cannot get the Amazon tap to operate. I can only play music via the Sonos app. I cannot even start the music on the Amazon tap then connect the line in to the Sonos 5 and hear music. It is an older series Sonos 5. I read the attached love link but it did not work. Any suggestions?? http://www.sam-mallery.com/2016/08/how-to-use-the-amazon-echo-dot-with-sonos/

Does anyone know how to set the new XBOX One S up for Dolby Digital on a SONOS Playbar connected to a Samsung UHD TV through optical?

Hello, When trying to update my sonos I keep on getting an error 9 wich there is no description...can someone know what do to, see attached. Thanks Andre

Until tonight I have always regarded the Sonos system as a music system which was only linked to the outside world if I wanted to make use of such music services as Apple Music and the like. It never occurred to me that Sonos would be more intrusive ... until tonight when I started the app on my Mac. I was told to update otherwise the system would become crippled. The only thing that appeared to be new is a message service that now works within the Sonos app and which is on by default and can only be switched off if I access my Sonos account on-line and switch it off there. I must say this gives me the creeps and makes me wonder how private my use of Sonos really is. Does anyone now? Is my listening experience a private one or is Sonos keeping tabs? What sort of messages is Sonos planning to send me? Will it be yet another channel for advertising? Why must I go online to switch it off?

Morning all, I am trying to track down some replacement rubber feet for my Play 3. Giving it a dust down and noticed 1 front and 1 rear foot on the underside have decided to move on somewhere. If I can pointed in the direction of new ones that would be helpful. Many thanks. 🆒

I try to connect or add my bridge through the SONOs console but it doesn't seem to recognize it and no bridge lights come on. It times out without connecting. I've tried all the fixes suggested (power off/on, router cycle, etc). I've tried to connect with desktop which is hardwired to the system - no luck. Please help with a solution.

I have a Play One and love it! Can I use that as a speaker (like I currently do) by itself when listening to music but add it to a PlayBar for surround sound? There are times I'd like to use the speaker by itself but other times when watching TV that I would like it to work as part of the surround sound system. Let me know if this is possible. Thanks!

Hello, I own a yamaha receiver and one sonos play1 (thinking of adding more)...I understand that with a sonos connect I will be able to transmit music from my sonos to my yamaha system, but I more interested in the opposite...so the question is: Will I be able to transmit audio from my yamaha (for example what i play there with airplay) to the sonos speakers in other rooms? Since connect is a rather expensive addition I would appreciate a certain answer

Can I add NPR's Tiny Desk Concerts to my system? If so, how? I currently have a Sonos Connect and a PLAY:3. Thank you!

I am trying to rename my rooms, but I can not figure out how. I do not have a room settings option under the settings tab. I have the most recent version of the Sonos controller. Please help.

Hello! So I just bought my first sonos setup, consisting of 2 play:1's and 1 play 5. These 3 will provide sound for the living room. I will add future speakers but this is it for now. The installation went pretty fast and easy. I hooked up the play 1's as a stereo pair and named the room for them 'living room'. I did exactly the same for my play 5, also naming it 'living room'. Now when I want to stream music, the speakers are likely to be in different room, and I always have to group them, although they have exactly the same name. Is there any way just to add the 3 together? Or do I always have to group them together before I start streaming? Thanks in advance! Laurens

I have got a connect amp, pair of Rega RS1 speakers & a velodyne impact micro subwoofer. Speakers are wired into the sub, from the sub to the connect amp. Sub is wired directly to the connect amp. When playing music at a low-medium volume the sub does not sense a signal and work. If I turn the volume right up for a split second and then down again the sub senses a sign and begins to work. I want the the sub to be working no matter what the volume level is. Any ideas? Thanks, Rob

I have a Sonos 5:1 surround setup with PlayBar, Sub and two Play 1s, all connected via the PlayBar to the TV. I also have a good old set of wired hifi separates, i.e. a Pioneer turntable, tuner and stereo amplifier, and a TEAC twin cassette deck. I'd like to be able to use this equipment to play my record and cassette collections, as well as use the tuner, all through the Sonos system. There's a lot of information available if you just want to hook up a turntable to the Sonos, or if you want to stream music from Sonos to a separate amp; however, I can't find anything to help me know how to simultaneously connect the multiple hifi separates listed above so that I can play these through the Sonos system. Can anyone help me please? Thanks in advance.

I have a big SONOS network system with 12 CONNECT boxes service the entire house and garden. I love my Amazon Echo and can see an enormous future in being able to tell Alexa where and what to play. Any chance of early trials or betas for the work currently underway ?

So far it is only possible to use SONOS and Apple Airplay when connecting a SONOS Connect or Play:5 with an additional Apple device supporting AirPlay (e.g. Airport Express). Therefore, the idea is to develop a SONOS Bridge which has integrated support for Apple AirPlay without additional hardware.  Benefits would be in this case that - no additional hardware and cabeling is necessary to use AirPlay in the SONOS system - one could easily allow guests to quickly output their audio to the SONOS system - all iOS devices would be supported as a sources without further software - with an appropriate AirPlay software on PC / Mac one could even send audio from there into the Sonos audio system The Sonos controller could then represent this "AirPlay input" as a new audio source within the complete SONOS system.

Just wondering if there are plans for this in the future, or are customer expected to only stick to one type of platform even if it doesn't do everything you need it too?

Hi. I've got my lovely new Play5 sitting on a hardwood floor. Will Trueplay compensate for this or should I raise the unit off the floor?

The PLAYBAR height is listed as 3.35" when laying flat. Is that the height from the mounting surface to the top, or just the thickness of the unit without the feet?

I have an Amazon Echo Dot and a Sonos system with multiple Connect:Amps. I have read about the Amazon Echo / Sonos integration that is coming, but every article I have seen so far only says that the Amazon Echo will integrate with Sonos speakers. My Sonos based system does not use any Sonos speakers. Does anyone know if the Amazon Echo will provide voice control for a Sonos system made up of Connect:Amps without any Sonos speakers?

I need longer power cords for two Play 3's in white. I can find 3' extensions to existing cords but I'd prefer not to go that route. I can find black power cords but white for some reason seems elusive. Any thoughts on where I can find them?

So, I spent an hour and 40m on Saturday morning on the phone to Sonos customer service and nothing was resolved before he hung up on me. I have just about calmed down 48 hours later but and extremely unhappy with this. I wonder if this is an easier and less unpleasant way to try to fix my system. I have had Sonos for 8 years now, have 4 old ZP100s, 2 ZP80s, 4 Play 1s and 1 Play 5. One of my ZP100s is wired into my router. I did have 2 bridges as well but the only thing that the hour and 40m did do on Saturday was remove these from my system as they seemed to be causing problems. However, my system is still dropping music (and not only music off the internet but music stored locally) and zones. I have had virtually no trouble until 4 or 5 months ago when my system has basically not been working at all. The one sensible thing the rude Sonos customer service man did tell me was that I may have an issue because the wireless signal in my house is distributed via a Powerline system of 4 plug
