Components and Architectural

Hi-   I have a few of the Connect S15 devices.  One is continuously in a reboot cycle.  I’ve pulled power and plugged back in.  Still does it.   I disconnected all lines going to it with only power being applied, still does it.  Held the play/pause button down while applying power, gets to the orange light (flashes a few times) then reboots.   Is it a lost cause? Thanks!

Good morningI'm having trouble successfully adding the boost device to my system.I received a used device for my friend.The device has been reset and restored to factory settings.They can be physically added to my speaker system.Unfortunately, there is an error when registering the device in my SONOS account.The procedure ends with the boost being added to the S2 controller, unfortunately with a red message that it has not been assigned to my account.As a result, the device cannot be used and some controller functions are disabled.The new boost is not in the list of my devices on SONOS.The previous owner used the device with an S1 controller.What can I do in this situation?Do I need to unregister from the previous user's account and system?Or maybe it's a hardware problem?Please advise and helpRegards Tomasz

I have a Sony STR-DH190 receiver that I have connected to a turntable and two passive speakers. I also own a Sonos Era 100 and a Sonos Arc. I’m trying to connect my receiver to my Sonos speakers so that I can play music through both my passive speakers and through my Sonos speakers simultaneously.The Sonos Port is a bit too expensive for me, so I’m looking into a used Connect Gen2. I’ve seen that there is a 75ms delay, but the speakers are in different rooms so I think that will be fine. I just want to confirm that I’d be able to both play music through the Connect into the receiver (to go into my passives) AND connect to my Sonos speakers simultaneously, so that all three rooms would be play together. Hoping this would also allow me to play my records and have them connect to every room as well.

I have inherited a couple on Sonos Ones (A100) and want to use them for casual listening in study and kitchen but link them to my proper hifi in the living room which I use for serious music listening. I understand that I need a Connect but they are discontinued so I’m looking to get one second hand but there seem to be a number of different models.I need one that is compatible with the Sonos Ones (A100 version) and preferably without an amp built in as I have a better quality amp already. Does anybody know which model number I should be looking for?

After updating some speakers to a new wifi, my app suddenly won't allow me to add additional speakers saying "incompatible software versions". I'm on V16 (android) which is "up to date". So how do I regain control of my system?

I have a Port (using as my streamer), a turntable, a CD player, and a power amplifier. I want to include a preamplifier in my set-up. How do I make the appropriate connections?

Hello. My Play:1 speakers are connected to my Playbar, and while watching TV, the surround sound cuts out constantly. It mostly does not work, and only works in spurts, intermittently. The sound works fine when playing music via Spotify.I believe this problem has been happening for a while, but after moving to a new place, it seems to be happening much more often, constantly. My Playbar and Play:1 speakers are all connected via wifi to my home network, which uses eero mesh.My diagnostic confirmation number is 1020397049.Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

Existe un centro de servicio de Sonos en guadalajara tengo 2 one con bocina voladas y no se donde me las reparen

I powered off my Connect Generation 1 and then reconnected power.  After a while when it would not even boot, I have now factory reset it and it is now stuck with a flashing green mute button.  When trying to add it to my S1 Controller application it finds the unit and identities it correctly; but nothing happens when I press mute and Volume + buttons together to actually connect.  The app times out the connection attempt.Any ideas for a solution would be  uch appreciated.

Hello everybody,I’ve been unable to use my LG magic remote to control my Sonos Playbase for a whole year.I’ve got an LG C7 OLED, a Sonos Playbase and 2 Sonos Play:1s set up for surround. I want to get a Sonos Sub and a couple of Sonos 1s to have around the house, but being unable to control my existing Sonos products with my TV’s remote control is not really inspiring me to spend more. I’ve already spent around 1000 euros for the existing setup as it is. Internal TV speakers just don’t cut it.To this date the only similar topic I have found on this forum is this one by user earplugs: Playbase and LG Magic remote | Sonos CommunityIt was all working fine until about a year ago, when I moved country. Everything remained in storage for a period of time, and I started setting it all up again probably in early July. I remember the TV got a firmware update as soon as I took it online, and since then the TV’s menu options have changed massively. Device Connector on my LG TV is no longer giving

I am doing a large TV room for a client and would like to use an Amp for the ARC function within the TV. However, this is a LARGE room and I would like to do a large 3rd party amp somehow using a speaker to line converter. Any thoughts on this? I tried a basic speaker to line converter on an Amp previously but was unsuccessful. I got very distorted signal regardless of volume level. So,, big room need big power than Amp supplies but want functionality of Audio Return feature of amp, just wish it had 300W per channel!  

Setting up a new outdoor pool and patio speaker set up.   I want to use Sonance SGS 8.1 Garden Series or Sonance - SR1 Sonarray Outdoor Speaker system with a Sonos - Amp 250W 2.1 Amplifier.   Will this work?   Do I have to add any other devices to stream Apply Play through the Amp?   Also, if I want to expand the system can I use the Sonance SGS 4 SAT Pack Garden series and ties directly in this set up? Thanks in advance!

I’ve got a setup with 6 Sonos Connect units in 6 different rooms each of which have an amp and speakers connected to them via optical output connection. All are wirelessly connected to each other with just one unit connected via ethernet to my home network for direct internet access. Which then relays that access via Sonos’ own wireless network between units. Max distance between any of the units is 20ft or less. Everything has always worked flawlessly when playing something in any one room using the Sonos S1 app and a streaming service. However whenever I try to group 2 or more rooms to play the same audio regardless of the streaming service all the rooms are out of sync by as little as half a second to as much as a second or more. How can I get the whole house to play the same music in unison and all synced up? Nothing in the app allows for delay adjustment when streaming. Only for using line-in which doesn't help me. Only thing I can think of is having to hard wire each unit and dis

I just got a Sonos One (Gen 2) after reading that Airplay was finally working well with it. I was hoping to use it as my speaker when streaming video from my MacBook Pro, but have been hounded by audio issues–even with it connected via Ethernet to my Airport. The audio cuts out if paused for more than a few seconds. The easiest fix has been to go to Volume in the Menu Bar, switch the output device to something else and then back to Sonos. It's a pain to have to do this over and over. The audio comes back without much delay. I noticed that there is a substantial delay when I go to unpause music that's been paused for a bit as well, but not as bad as when unpausing Netflix or Youtube. The audio also cuts out in minute drops every now and then, which probably just comes from AirPlay sucking up my shitty wifi's bandwidth as I've read in other posts. Given all the other unresolved issues I have read about and the hassle that was setting this up over the phone since the app's automated set

I have an extra Sonos amp laying around and was wondering if it’s possible to make 2 zones out of the 6.1 package?Zone 1: 4 speakers and subwoofer around poolZone 2: 2 speakers for firepit no subwoofer.  Would the speakers still sound good without having no sub on this zone?

I’m having trouble with my Connect amp.the music keeps cutting in and out.recently, I left it unplugged for a day then plugged it back in and it worked fine for two day, and then it went back to intermittent.it surely can’t be Wi-Fi signal. It is less than 10 feet away from my broadband box with two standard brick walled in between.just below the connect amp is our back TV which is connected to SKY a stream mini box and the picture never wavers, even when the Connect Amp is playing intermittently.any suggestions for a fix gratefully received.if not, my wife says it’s going in the bin!bob.    

I have a Connect Amp connected to my setup through WiFi. I have a problem playing BBC through this device, it keeps cutting out. I use BBC Sounds, and this is the only radio I have problems with, everything else plays properly. Because of this it can’t be the device or set-up, so what is the problem?

I currently have an older Sonos surround system .. soundbar, sub and play 3’s & 1’s. I also have a Connect that I use as a passthrough to a Pair of Devialet Phantoms (Turntable→valve phono-preamp→Connect->optical out->Devialet Phantoms).I’ve just ordered the new Arc, Sub and Era 300 system and was about to click buy on the Port when I realised it doesn’t have an optical output :O I’m feeling suddenly snookered .. what can to do?I don’t want to replace the Connect with a Devialet Arch because I’ll lose the ability to also play vinyl through the Sonos system .. not to mention the trigger automation I’ve configured from the Connect to Phantoms that makes life extremely simple.I don’t even know how to tell what Generation my Connect is.Kev.  

kind of spooky...

Solution: 3 Amps, 1 Connect Amp, 2x Sonos Ones.All Amps are wired in.Recent Problems:One Amp drops out for about the last 10 seconds of each track.One Amp occasionally drops out for a period of timeThis started, then stopped for a while but has now started again.Any ideas as this is very frustrating

I am trying to connect a Sonos Port to my existing Sonos system. I have the line out going to a Sony receiver and the line in coming from a turntable that does not have a preamp. The turntable sounds is low coming out of my Sonos speakers and I can’t adjust it from the app or the receiver? Any thoughts?

Background:Family Room: AMP w/Sonos ONE (pair as surrounds)Backyard: Connect(gen2)Asus RT-AX82U/AX5400 RouterAfter installing new router and updating the wifi settings, the Sonos App (S2) does one of the following: 1) stays grey and doesn’t show up 2) only shows the Connect 3) Works perfectly for 3-5 seconds and then the system dissapears.I've gone in and adjusted the router settings as recommended in various help sections, turned off the auto-priority/QoS settings in the router, updated the channel to Ch6 within the 2.4 channel, did the whole direct plug ethernet cord into the amp, and ONE speaker to update the wifi information directly as recommended. Also rebooted all sonos products.The only thing working right now is the family room because it feeds audio in from the TV.Any recommendations or links would be helpful...spent the last few days becoming a fake fix-it dude. Thanks!

Hi,I just setup a new system in our holiday home, with a Sonos Amp in the living room and two Sonos Ones in the bedroom.Originally the Amp was connected via cable and the Ones via WiFi, but it seems that is making issues with our Unifi switch/access point. Initially I could not even add the Amp to the system, but after I switched it to WiFi that worked.But now the Amp disappears from the network after 30-60 minutes of it coming online. So initially when I start the Amp I see it in the Sonos app, but at some point it disappears and is also not reachable anymore on network level (ping). I tried to switch it back to cable instead of WiFi but the problem is exactly the same.Could that be again an issue with Unifi? Unifi recommends having all Sonos devices either wired or wireless, but in my case this issue also occurs with all devices being wireless.Any ideas on how to debug/solve this?Regards, Robert

I’ve noticed others with the same problem...so I anticipate the answer may be obsolescence (planned or otherwise), but looking for official support here if possible.All components have been hardwired and in place for over 5 years (except for the newer connect models, which replaced older connect:amps not supported by S2.The Diag file number is 2005163756.Many thanks if someone could review the diagnostics and LMK.
