After factory resetting the Sonos Connect AMP, I am unable to add the device to my account.I press the play/pause button as I connect the power cord and wait 15 seconds until the lights begin flashing white and orange, but the lights never begin flashing green in order to show the reboot is complete.In addition, if I attempt to add the Sonos Connect AMP to my account while the lights are flashing orange/white I can never get past pressing the play/pause button to connect the device.Really appreciate any help on this.Thanks

Hey all --- Interested in buying one of the Turntables on Sonos site to plug into my existing mutliroom Sonos System.Two questions:Which turntable do you reccomend on the site? Do these turntables require connection to an AMP or Port, etc or do they have their own AMP that allows it to connect to Sonos system without new wires?

I am setting up a multi-room audio system and I want to stream music via SONOS as I have additional equipment that use this ecosystem. I considered adding a DSP to distribute the audio signal to 3 amps. I am new to audio systems so I would like to know if my way of thinking is correct.1) Does using an XLR Y cable affect the quality of audio signal sent to the Amps?2) I am thinking of using either the Dayton Audio DSP-408 or the t.racks DSP408. I like that Dayton offers mobile app control but I want to buy the one with the best audio processing capabilities. Is there any advantages on the t.racks over the Dayton?3) Ultimately will the inclusion of the DSP improve Sonos audio (DAC) or will all these conversions affect quality? Could I possibly have better results if I avoid the DSP and use a crossover or splitter to go straight to the amps, and use the amp limiters for the subwoofer channels set the frequency range?Any input will help! Thank you!   

I’ve had the Move for 2 years and sorry to say its never worked & sat in a wardrobe. Have pulled it out today and tried again after reading numerous instances of same issue - macOS can pick up the Bluetooth link, the iPhone App cannot do anything, operates on a separated channel 6 with Telstra 100mbs modem. Have deleted the App reinstalled on both macOS and the iPhone to no avail, have used regular charge and usb-c on Move as well as resetting the Move.Don’t know what to do next, other than throw the product out.

I recently bought a used Connect:Amp with the sole intention to get a 30% discount on a new product. I bought it from a friend who has not used the trade up scheme. I have connected the device to the Sonos S1 app and it appears under “System” on my Sonos account online. However, it does not appear under “Upgrade”. It has been three hours now and it still does not appear. Can you guys help me out? I am completely new in the Sonos world.

I am being offered a credit to upgrade my 5-year-old Bridge to a Boost.  Are there any compelling reasons to do so? Does the Boost offer more features or better performance?

It comes with 6 sonance speakers, 1 subwoofer and 1 sonos amp. I am looking to cover an area of around 5000 sqft so I am pretty sure the I can combine the two systems of 6.1 to create a 12.2 to play the same music.  my question is that can I use the the 12.2 system with only 1 amp, so then I will have 1 amp leftover to use in another area with different speakers. The sonance website mentions that the system can be upgraded to 16.2 with only 1 amp but I want to confirm.  https://www.sonance.com/assets/media/files/downloads/SGS_Data_Sheet_080704.pdf https://www.avinstalls.co.uk/sonance-garden-series-sgs-81-satsub-system-with-sr2125-amp-p-308  

I have an older Sonos 1 connect amp with four Sonos speakers connected. Two of the speakers have good volume and sound - two are working but weak. any suggestions to help equalize these a bit? 

Hello, I just installed Sonos Outdoor speakers using my Denon Amp and cannot add the speakers in the sonos app. What am I doing wrong?

I changed my router a year ago and Sonos has never worked properly since. I had to constantly re-connect the speakers and find the system over and over again. I found the support from Sonos non-existent. I have now got a new Router and went through ALL the steps to connect my four Sonos speakers last night. We enjoyed an evening of music on all of them and then, this morning, my Sonos App could not find the system and none of the speakers and now won’t connect with any of them. Basically, Sonos sucks. I’m switching to Alexa or just a simple Bluetooth speaker that I carry from room to room. Thanks for wasting thousands of $$ Sonos and providing no help at all.

I’m running multiple Connect Amps. Music will cut out randomly. this occurs when using different music services including Amazon and tune-in. I typically pair two connect amps (dining room + kitchen). Occasionally it will cut out only in one (kitchen). I’m at a loss troubleshooting. diagnostic code from a recent occurrence ((Connect: Amp from my patio) 1183329370 Based on info I’ve found in the community, I have: 1. rebooted the equipment including modem, router and sonos2. changed the wireless channel from 6 to 1  

I have a Sonos Amp hooked up to (2) Polk Atrium 8 speakers. They are stereo speakers with 4 input for stereo sound out of each speaker. It’s good for outdoor since they are spaced far apart. They are 8 ohms. I am wondering if I can a 3rd speaker on the system. It would techinically be a 3rd speaker OR a 3rd stereo setup. There would be 3 wires on each terminal.  Will the amp be able to handle it?

If I add 6 sonos architectural speakers to one amp will they each get enough power?   Or will this compromise the output of each?

Hi all, was hoping for some help here. Looking to install 4 JL Audio Pavilion speakers outside and hopefully power them with Sonos Amp. The speakers say 4ohms, so I’m not sure how all this works. Here’s the link for the speakers. Can someone let me know if this is possible?  Thanks in advance!https://www.jlaudio.com/pages/pavilion™  

Hi, looking for some advice. I’ve a Sonos system with three play 1s in various rooms, a home theatre surround sound with a beam, sun, and two play 1s. They are all on a sonosnet (one of the play 1s is wired). I recently added an Onyx turntable and experience drops even with latency set to high. I’ve an orbi wifi mesh router. I’ve no dropouts when using streaming services (eg Apple Music) on my Sonos system.  should I drop the sonosnet? Or get a bridge (but not sure the Victrola can connect to a Sonos network). Or do I need to upgrade my mesh network (it’s about 7 years old orbi system).  thanks!

Hello I would like to  connect my Sonos Connect to Samsung HW-Q990B. Can I use the digital optical audio cable? what android should I use?

I just bought a Port to plug into my receiver in my office via coaxial digital.  I also have a stereo pair of Symfonisk bookshelf speakers, a Roam, and an Era 100.  I have noticed that when I try to group them all together, only the Port is slightly out of sync with the other devices.  I have to go into the audio delay on the receiver to adjust the lip sync delay to about 3 to 4 milliseconds in order to get the audio close.  Is there a way to adjust the sync from the Sonos app so I don’t have to keep readjusting the receiver?The Port and one of the Symfonisk speakers are plugged in via Ethernet.  Everything else is connected via Wi-Fi.

I have two pieces of Sonos gen 1 gear (a Play:5 and a Connect), which I use to play songs kept on my Synology NAS.  I have SMB1 and NTLMv1 authentication both enabled.  This used to work fine, but as of the last Synology software update it fails.No other devices on my home network (and there are many) have any issues; it is only my Sonos gear.I have seen many other posts with this same issue, and your response in all cases that I’ve seen is that this is my problem because I’m still on S1, and you’ve fixed this in S2.  Fine, how do I run S2?  What is my upgrade path?  Because if the upgrade path is to throw out all my Sonos gear and spend over $1000 on new gear, that doesn’t really work for me.

Hello,I recently purchased the Project Debut Carbon Turntable for Sonos. I have noticed that the stylus does not return to starting position after the record is finished playing.  My cheap record players from high school days always did that, so I assumed this relatively much higher-end product would do the same. Is this a setting that can be changed?  

I have been having the issue where my subwoofer is quiet ever since upgrading to the Arc from a Play Bar a couple months ago. I just moved to a new home so attempting to get it functioning properly again at this time.  If I connect the subwoofer to the same room as my Arc the woofer give minimal power/bass and even upon “chime” verification sounds from the Arc rather than the sub. I can switch the sub to another room and get good sound but as soon as I reconnect to the room with the Arc, it is again dampened. 

Does Sonos in-ceiling speakers support voice casting with Josh.ai? Setting up 9 audio zones and looking to integrate josh.ai as home automation voice assistant.  

Hi, I posted this issue in the past but the problem is coming back:  Issue:After 24h (sometimes just a few hours) to 48 hours the SONOS speakers stops playing and impossible to reconnect to the speakers. When it stops playing the SONOS speakers still appear in my router devices’ list as still connected (as shown below) but SONOS Apps (iOS, Android or MacOS) do not “see” the speakers anymore. The only solution is to reboot the router or change the 2.4Ghz channel (which I believe reboots anyway the router). My systems (2 items):Sonos Connect:Amp (1st gen) connected via 2.4 Ghz (note: This is not 5Ghz compatible) Sonos Play:1 connected via 2.4 Ghz I forced both on 2.4Ghz as it seemed to have solved the issue in the past.  Both systems are updated. Router:TP-Link Archer AX10  Firmware updated I have a Mesh but even without it the problem occurs. To be safe I changed the Mesh’s SSID to force the speakers to always connect to the router’s 2.4 Ghz which has a unique SSID.  The router and sp

Is there a way to put the amp on standby mode, instead of leaving it on all the time or turning off the mains? The mains is hidden behind a cabinet near the floor and it’s a pain for me to bend down every time I want to turn it on or off. Thanks in advance!

I’m looking to sell my Connect Amp and want to make sure it is compatible with S1 and S2 systems. I tried looking it up in my account and it doesn’t say. Thanks!

I have a set of Sonos ARC + Sonos Subwoofer + 2 x Era 300.All four are grouped into one room, and the Era 300s are used as spatial speakers. In this room, I also have a turntable with a preamplifier. If I connect the turntable to one of the Sonos Era 300s using a line-in adapter, will I be able to select the source for these connected speakers?
