Components and Architectural

Hello, am not a techie at all when it comes to sound stuff…I would like to connect a standalone CD/DVD player I have to a Play1-Play 3 system using Sonos 1.Is the Port module the solution to this? Is the audio signal going through basic RCA or can HDMI or other connections be used?Thx

I have Control4 and Sonos.  It seems the interface has remained in “awful” state for far too long.  The latest driver is 99 (2020)?!If Control4 and Sonos advertized support between the two platforms, they should deliver a decent experience.  It is ridiculously limited and nothing seems to be happening.Does anyone know of a workaround, plans in the making, etc.?Thanks,

Currently, Integra, Onkyo, Sony & Pioneer have the “Works With Sonos” label.What does this really mean?Once a Sonos Port is integrated with these receivers, selecting the Room (and music) on the Sonos App that the receiver operates in will:Turn on the receiver Select the Sonos Port input Set the volume different than watching TV (generally much higher than TV, CD etc volume) You then use the Volume on your Sonos app to control volume (just like all other Sonos listening areas).Selecting all other sources like TV will return the volume back to a comfortable level.  The receiver also eventually powers down automatically after use.That’s pretty cool.Some of these receivers can operate up to 3 Rooms in your home simultaneously (so long as their respective speaker’s wiring is run back to the receiver).  Connecting an additional Port (Ports) to the receiver gives you those Room volume controls on the app (ie, Great Room, Bedroom, Patio).  This eliminates the need for a $700 Sonos amp for

I have outdoor patio that is covered and outdoor shower.   first, if I want 2 outdoor speakers for patio, it seems I need the amp.   does the amp go INSIDE?  or can it be outside?  I assume amp needs power plug but I have that outside, curious if AMP works outside.  second, if I also want to have music in an outside shower (this is near beach :) ) can I string a single outdoor speaker to the single amp that is being used for the other 2 speakers??    any suggestions ?

I just renovated my basement and installed 5 in ceiling speakers.  These speakers are rated at 6 ohms and 80 watts each.  I don't need these to be on separate zones, so I would rather not buy 2 separate Amps to power.  I was thinking of using a Port with an aftermarket amp to power.  These are only for music.  I have an old Denon DN840 receiver, but don’t know if that would be sufficient to power.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.Regards!   

I just purchased a new amp from sonos to replace one of my old ones.  I am running S2 on my iPhone and wanted to know if I need to use the sonos removal app before I unplug the old sonos amp?If I could get the steps to install a new amp and remove an old one that would be much appreciated.Thanks,Michael Casorio 

We’re trying to keep it simple and have an existing Sonos Soundbar which is great with our Samsung TV - the space isn’t large. The router is located in this room as well. The Patio is nearby and I’d like to add on 2 outdoor speakers with power - connect through wifi and make it a separate room on our Sonos account.Will this work? I feel like I don’t NEED an amp. Am I wrong?

There is plenty of feedback around the latest upgrade, which seemed to remove a lot of functionality that used to exist.  Safe to say it’s awful.  But, I won’t even harp on that any more.  However, the fact that it was released is a travesty.  I think that the best way to show unhappiness is to let the Apple (or Google) Store know that the app is terrible.  Perhaps influencing the Sonos rating there may have more of a hope of preventing this sort of nonsense moving forward.  Having existing users complain to Sonos directly seems to not really help, perhaps complaining in a forum where people might look if they want to users will change the culture that allowed this to happen. P.S.  Seriously Sonos, give the user the ability to also remove Sonos Radio.  Forcing that is just a constant annoyance as well.

Hi,I stupidly purchased an amp off Ebay. Brand new apparently. Have purchased many Sonos products in the past but this was my first Ebay purchase.The amp isn’t working and I was wondering you are able to tell me if the serial number is legit before i take further action.A101 1912CP 48-A6-B8-62-B6-D1-A Thank you very much. 

Will the new Sonos amp with HDMI connected to a receiver HDMI input port play music through the Sonos app and as its own device??

Hi All is it worth downgrading my products to S1 so I can use the old app as the new one is crap and not working 

My two Sonos Boost no longer show amont my system devices.I am using Sonos controller 2, have 3 Sonos:5, 4 more Sonos:1. Some of them are routinely disconnecting. That’s how I found out my two Bossy were offline. I updated the App and the system. Restarted everything (router, each speaker, Boost). Reset each Boost and reinstalled. No error message. But they simply won’t show in the list of my devices. when I check network for each speaker, it simply says « network not available », although it works (some of them never disconnect, so they are connected to the WiFi).Is it something with the software, or something I missed to keep using the Boost? It used to work with the older version of the App.Diagnostic confirmation ********** in case Sonos support is willing to help. No chat available in my country and hotline announces a 40 minutes waiting time…Moderator edit: Diagnostic number recorded and removed (identifying information) 

Just hooked up a Sonos Amp with a couple Sonance architectural ceiling speakers. Sounds like absolute garbage. I had an am/fm alarm clock back in the 80’s that sounded better. What gives?

Updated to 80.00. Can’t connect to my system (1 Play:1 two Play:3 in stereo; Boost; iPhone 15; iPad pro). Resetted everything and reinstalling. Initially worked, but after a while couldn’t connect anymore. Very disappointed. My system can’t play now.

can i listen to sonos arc with sonos new headphones and also play sound with arc  out load at the same time?  

I have a new wireless modem and I am attempting to connect my Sonos s1 connect base bridge).  I have repeatedly powered on off and the light just continues to flash.  I have tried factory reset but same results.

Sonos speakers disappeared/lost connection with the latest iPhone update. our iphones cannot connect to any of our speakers anymore. 

Updates Sonos app. Now I cannot isolate/control 2 roof top speakers. Control has now merged with out living room speaker system. Any ideas?  Thank you

I keep getting ...unable to load some information is missing.… I click on it...but nothing… Any idea how to correct? 

Hi Sonos Community, I really need some help here. I’m trying to set up my Sonos Port for my turntable but I’m not able to even set up the Sonos Port in the Sonos 2 app.Here’s what I have done: Put Sonos Port near router (right next to it)  Tried connecting via Wifi and Ethernet, both does not work. Used 2 different devices (iPhones) too but nothing work  Tried following troubleshoot to connect manually by keying in 8 digit pin + push the button Reset router  Reset port I keep getting the same error saying “We’re having trouble finalising the connection to your Port.” Anyone facing the same issue? Customer service lines are at 130 minutes, this is crazy :(

My Sonos connect has been operating without any issue now no matter the audio source, the music is glitching like a scratched cd. I have tried changing my modem channel and the Sonos channel like the wifi interference advise but still no change.

I have tried everything to get my Connect Gen 2 to update so I can add it to my S2 system.  It fails with a 1014 error 14 seconds in every time.  I’ve tried creating a new system for it with no other sonos speakers, just one sonos speaker, a dedicated router, multiple app restarts, new accounts, login in/out, but nothing works.  This post didn’t solve it either 🥺I spent time with Sonos yesterday who insisted it was my router setup but I’ve simplified that down to being the only connection to a new wifi router and that doesn’t work either.  I thought it may be my Connect so bought two more from CEX which experience exactly the same failures 14 seconds in to the update, so it has to be the Sonos app (which I’ve tried on iPads and iPhones and have deleted/reinstalled multiple times) or the connection/updater at the Sonos end.This is immensely disappointing from a system that used to be bullet proof    Any suggestions greatly welcomed!

Sonos boost is not showing on the new app keeps saying not available can you please reinstall it back on the new update 

The new version is somewhat slower and the user interface is less user-friendly. If I had known I would not have upgraded. 

Hi,has somebody found an official SONOS statement, which SONOS speaker functions are still usable when not connected to the internet (offline)?In the new SONOS app, I just tripped over an additional login screen when trying to configure an individual speaker. Sorry, that is a no go - I must be able to configure my speaker (my money) without the SONOS corporation. I am afraid of a scenario where SONOS goes under e.g. SONOS get sued by a competitor into bankruptcy, their servers go offline. Then I am stuck with thousands of dollar of worthless speaker junk.Any thoughts? Cheers,Dirk
