Radios FIP

Bonjour, FIP Radio a lancé 2 nouvelles radio web il y a 1 semaine. “FIP autour du Hip-Hop” et FIP autour du Métal”. Je n’arrive pas à les trouver ni via Sonos Radio, ni via Tune In.Auriez-vous une solution?Est-ce trop tôt?Est-ce une démarche qui doit être prise par FIP pour les intégrer dans les produits Sonos ou Tune In ou l’inverse? Merci d’avance; Damien

Record player + two Era 100. Massive Hum

Hi,It was my wife’s bday yesterday and I she wanted a record player system. So I brought the Pro-Ject T1 Phono SB Turntable2 Room set with Era 100Sonos Line in AdapterI spent yesterday evening setting the system up while my wife excitedly went to get a number of albums from the record store. I think I spent just under $1000 which was a big chunk of money.As soon as I turn the record player on we get a massive hum. I have tried all the settings, unplugging and plugging the system. Probably around 3 hours of trouble shooting last night following posts and reviews. You can hardly hear the music on the speakers over the loud hum and it is very annoying.I’m now reaching out the community for help. I’m at my wits end and my wife was understandably very upset we didn’t get a differet record player and speaker set.Anything else I should try? I’ve tried attaching the grounding wire and this does not work or make a difference. I’ve tried multiple settings in the app leading to a very quiet hum w

Multiple Sonos Amps in one room

Hi! We're looking to install 6x outdoor speakers in the ceiling in an outdoor seeting area. We want to have these speakers amplified with three Sonos amps in one “room” with a third party subwoofer an amplifier. I heard that it's not possible to have more than two Sonos amps in one “room” configuration (so used as three stereo pairs together). Is this correct?

Non Wifi System?

I currently have a HEOS/Denon system that’s connected to Wifi and with 4 hardwired speakers and a Sub that is connected wirelessly (not sure how they did that. Pro install), in my outdoor patio.  I intend to keep the hardwired speakers and use a sonos sub. Anyway, I don’t like a wifi system.  I want to be able to play or have guests play their favorites channels via bluetooth rather than getting on my wifi system.What do I need to accomplish this?

Sonos amp starts cutting out after 2/3 days

I have a Sonos Connect:Amp.it is about 7 years old.it has started to play up, cutting out frequently. This happens every three/four days.to fix this, I have to switch it off overnight after which it works fine again for a while.at the moment, I switch it off and pull the plug every night and all is fine.however, this is a new thing so not how unit should work.has anybody had anything similar?FYI if I play through Alexa at the same time there are no breaks in the music, which suggests to me it is not the Router or anything upstream.I begin to think the unit is overheating. Letting it “cool down” seems to be the fix.Any thoughts greatly appreciated!bob. Moderator edit: changed Sonos Amp to Sonos Connect:Amp for accuracy

Connect Karaoke to the Sonos

All of my TV sound is piped into sonos amps so I am able to play my TV sound in all speakers in my house. I wanted to connect a mixer through the sonos port and into the amp so I could sing vocals with wireless mics into the sound board, and combine the sound from the TV and the mixer. Is that possible?

Driving mutiple, mixed speakers with a Sonos Amp

Possible a slightly quirky setup question, but I’ll ask anyway. Apologies that this relates to my other question, but I feel it warrants a sepaarte topic. EDIT: Please ignore! I just realised that wiring in series is not recommended, so that rules out me adding another pair as I had hoped. I have a Sonos Amp driving a pair of Monitor Audio C180 (https://www.monitoraudio.com/en/product-ranges/basics/c180/). These are 6 ohm. I want to add another pair of speakers at the other end of the room. The ones I am looking at are 8 ohm. Should I be able to safely drive both sets of speakers off the same amp, with the wiring being fed Amp > C180 (6 ohm) > new speakers (8 ohm) ? My knowledge around resistance etc is poor.If the above is not recommended, would it be better if I bought 6 ohm speakers so that all four were 6 ohm?Many thanks Jim

Room randomly stops playing, but playbar keeps playing

I have multiple rooms with speakers wired to Sonos Amps. I also have a playbar. When listening to Amazon music, Spotify, apple music, and Sirius XM the music continues playing on the playbar without fail, but comes and goes regularly in the rooms that are wired to the Amps. The amps are Ethernet wired to my router, and the playbar is wired to the amp as well. Can someone help suggest a fix for why the amp would stop playing to wired speakers, but continue playing to the sound bar?

Sonos last.fm plugin only updates scrobbles when i stop playing through Sonos

I’m not sure if this is intended behaviour or not, but it is really annoying. Whenever I want to share what im currently listening to, I must stop playing on my Sonos speakers and play on my phone momentarily for all my recent scrobbles, including what im currently playing, to be pushed to last.fm. It used to update live, but doesn’t anymore. I’ve done all of the usual stuff - i.e. unlinking  and relinking last.fm and Sonos, Spotify, etc etc

Sonos S1 app

Hello, I’ve never used the S1 app, but I’m looking into buying a ZP90. Can I stream Apple and Amazon music on S1? Just looking at getting an audio signal into my old hifi system. It has an optical input, but not coaxial, so I don’t want to get a Port. Thanks

Sonos ZP90 and Airplay

Hello - hopefully a straightforward question. Is the ZP90 compatible with AirPlay 2? The reason I’m looking at one of these is to stream audio to my HiFi as it has both optical and coaxial audio out, where the Port is limited to coaxial only. Thank you

iPhone to Bluetooth receiver works as alternate source for TV Autoplay?

We would like to make it as easy as possible for guests to use the Sonos amp and speakers in their rooms to stream audio from their phones.  The best solution we’ve seen for this in other rental properties is VSSL, where the user simply connects to a bluetooth receiver with the corresponding room name and voila - their iphone audio is streaming through the in-wall / in ceiling speakers. Has anyone attempted to provide an alternate audio source for the TV audio in from their sonos amps, so that alternate sources can be used as the “TV Autoplay” feature in a local room, especially when no TV exists in that room?

Phase on sub and sonos settings

I just installed Sonos Amp with my speakers and a KEF HTB2 subwoofer.I see in the Sonos app I can set the phase to 0 or 180 - and I have a switch on the subwoofer that does the same thing - 0 or 180.I set them both to 0.My question is “why” do I have the same setting via Sonos app and a switch on the sub - and should they be set to the same setting - 0 in my case.

Line-In Not Registering With Connect

Hello! I just moved and got a new router. In the process of getting everything hooked up I’m having a line-in problem. My system is Sonos One, Play:3, and Connect - which I have hooked up to my receiver. I have my Connect hooked up exactly the same as it was before but my line in is no longer working. Everything but the connect is working. I get the message in the attached photo when I try to use my line-in. I was on the phone with Sonos for almost an hour last night and couldn’t get the issue solved. All hookups have been checked and double checked for a firm connection so that’s not the issue.   Hoping the community can help! You’ve saved me so many other times!

Audible suddenly stopped playing on Sonos

I was listening to Audible all morning over my Sonos and it suddenly disconnected. I went to reconnect and am getting a modal saying, “This content is not currently available to be played on Sonos.” I’ve literally never had an issue playing Audible over my Sonos. What gives? What changed? Zero help from any support from Sonos. Extremely disappointed right now.

IOS App is very, very fragile (16.x)

SONOS App version 16.1 (but I’ve seen this on earlier, recent revisions as well)Sonos S2 OSSystem includes SONOS Beam, mini-sub, Sonos One (x2).  The entire system is connected wirelessly.iPhone 12 Pro, IOS 17.3.1 (but I’ve seen this on earlier, recent revisions as well).Summary: My iPhone Sonos App frequently, and arbitrarily loses connection with my Sonos system. It seems very clear that the wifi connection between the APP and wireless network is extremely fragile.  Which is weird because the network is quite stable (it serves two TVs, two laptops, two iPhones, tablets, etc) in all other respects.Symptoms include:After playing for awhile, I’ll glance at the app and notice that it is not showing the currently playing song. On startup, my iPhone reports that it cannot connect to the Sonos system When browsing my music library, it will report that it “cannot browse the library”.  The library is stored on a NAS device on the same network. When this is happening, I am still able to connec
