Hi everybody!I wanted to share something about my Sub. Yesterday my wife, while in the kitchen, decided to kill a insect on a vaulted ceiling using a two pound flour bag. Little that she knew, the bag bursted (just a tiny split, not all the way) and some of the flour got on the top of my Sub Gen2 and around it. I did not see anything in the Sub. After I experienced a tiny stroke :-), I grabbed the vacuum cleaner and cleaned the mess. Then I’ve put Master and Commander, Sub setting plus 10 and told my kids to go into their room. We did laugh about it how a split second moment of anger or simply not thinking things through could give you some not needed work. Now for the serious part.Do you think anything could have happen? How is the Sub constructed, Where is the opening (besides the obvious rectangular one)? Do you think that flour can compare to dust in consistency and the ability to enter the SUB? Is it wise to turn the Sub upside down and try to shake it or vacuum some more? P.S. My

Can the arc soundbar be integrated in a TV cinewall without loosing sound quality of Dolby atmos? If so, how much space should there be on each side (left, top, right) from the soundbar to cinewall frame so that the sound quality isn’t compromised? Many thanks 👍

Hi there, I’d be grateful on some advice on putting a dormant Connect unit to new use.I would like to connect a CD /radio to the Connect using line out/RCA cable so that the unit can play through my One speakers. Ideally, I’d want to set up the Connect to work with the speakers in the Kitchen, for example, so that whenever I use the CD/ Radio it automatically feeds through the Connect and to the speakers, without having to set up everything each time via the Sonos app; can anyone advise if this is possible?We already have the speakers in the kitchen, my wife wants to be able to play her CDs from a standalone unit and it would make sense to utilise the Sonos speakers. Although I have a NAS drive with all the music loaded, she doesn’t want the hassle of using the Sonos app to find the particular cd files each time - there are a lot of CD files to hunt through! 

I would like to revive a discussion , now closed:Specifically, it concerns how the S2 app responds to an S1 device on a separate network. My S2 network consists of two Fives (stereo pair) and a One, connected via wi-fi. There is also a separate Play:5 (first generation) hardwired via Ethernet and accessible via S1.Sometimes -- depending on my location in the house, my S2 app ‘sees’ the Play:5 device first. Quoting from the original post:I invoke S2 and get the message Sonos found on <my network name>. This system includes products that aren’t compatible with Sonos S2. (In other words, it’s found my S1 system first.) My options are (a) Open S1 controller or (b) More options Do I want to open the S1 controller? Nope. I’m in S2 and want to get to S2. So that leaves More options.Let’s examine those options. There are basically two:Forget Current Sonos System. Does this mean forget the S1 system (which the S2 app has just found) or the S2 system (because I’m in the S2 app)? If the lat

The other posts have been closed, even though this issue seems to be widespread.After installing a new router, my Sonos connects but my phones will connect to the app.We have changed the channels to 1, 6 , or 11 and set the wifi to 2.4.I have contacted support and was given this ticket number *********.We can change channels on the router, and the phone will connect for about 20 minutes, then we have to change to another channel to get the phone to connect for another 20 minutes.We have three android phones and two Iphones and all have the same outcome. I have tried resetting the app and resetting the router a dozen or more times. I have tried switching to Sonos one and have tried drinking wine, but nothing works after five days now.Has anyone resolved this issue? Is there something special I need to set on the router.?  Moderator edit: removed case number

Hi Again I hope everyone is enjoying their day…I have 2 questions 1 My tv has only got the following ports, a few hdmi ports one optical and one lan network cable (no vga) so am wondering how to connect to my Port 2 what is the digital out cable as I thought it was an optical connection but it is not Actually I’m very confused now as I have disconnected my boost and port and the system is still working fine??? Was I sold the initial connect and bridge which are not needed as it runs absolutely fine with my routerModerator edit: combined posts

I have been using a Nuvo system for about 8 years now that allows my 7 zones to all play separate audio. I have 2 3 zone systems and 1 single zone all integrated together. It’s rare (never?) that all 7 are playing and playing different things at the same time. I would like to change over to Sonos for various reasons and I need to know what to get to run those. All are hardwired and I run the zones from the app. I only need 2, a pair of speakers on my patio and a pair by the pool,  that I would like to be able to run TV audio through. The rest can just be from Spotify, Pandora, Iheart, whatever. If I understand the Sonos products, to run 7 individual zones I would need 7 amps. I can cut down the number of amps I need by pairing zones together. Those zones (pairs of speakers) would then become 1 single zone that would play the same audio at the same volume.  Am I right and  what options do I have for the zone(s) to run TV sound? I have read about HDMI arcing but the television and speake

Can this be done? How? Currently using AirPlay adapter as a Niles audio source. ThankU.

Hello everyone, new here, I’m a bit of a technophobe where it comes to these systems, so please be gentle lol.I was initially sold a system with a connect and a bridge but updated to a boost a few years later as it stopped working due to becoming obsolete but recently had problems with connections and found out the connect has become obsolete too. So I am going to buy a port. My question is, I wonder do you have to put the boost a certain distance away from the router and the port? And also with the new port does that need to be a certain distance away from the boost and the router to avoid any interference.Thank you in advance 

 Hi all!After several weeks of testing and investigating, I eventually decided to involve you. Hope you can help me to bring some light into this topic. It is weird and not easy to describe. I do my best!Products:Beam2 2* Sonos One SL SubMiniFirmware of all devices is updated. So are the Apps on all mobile phones / tablets / computers.Beam2 is the main device. It is attached to the LG TV eArc.So far so good, it works. The iOS app as well as the MacOS app have issues to „connect“ to the system. The connection itself works. I can send commands to the system. Volume changes, play music … whatever. It all works, basically.However, the app(s) do not show the current status. When I open the app, the volume is zero, the music which is played is not displayed in the app. It looks like it is not connected. Screenshot attached - it was playing music while I made it. What I did so far.Plugged an ethernet cable into the Beam2. It is now connected via cable, the other speakers use the Sonos network

I’m currently using two SONOS Amps in a home theatre setup to power front and rear wired speakers. I’d like to add a turntable to my setup but understand that the line-in of the amps is disabled in this configuration. In order to add a turntable, would I have to connect it to a Port and then somehow play this through my Amp? Thanks

I am trying to connect Sonos amp to a passive sub and a receiver. Is it possible? The phone tech support told me that Sonos amp doesn't support passive subs. Is that true?

The power went out on our house and the sonos sysytem stopped working - tried to reboot but the connect ZP90 I use for ethernet connection has no lights on front - does this mean it is ded?

If I buy anything new my old Sonos wont work. I’m done with this company…

Hi therei have two connect:amps, one for kitchen, one for garden. The garden is the amp connected to router.  this was working fine till yesterday. Nothing has changed. Now kitchen dropped off Sonos 1 app and I can’t reconnect and the amp won’t reset, i.e. unplug, hold buttons, get flashing lights… when I try and do the reset the light just stays solid white.   any ideas? 

I have an older Yamaha receiver, RX-V4600 with a Connect as line out in a system consisting of 3, Play:1’s, and a Port. The Connect with the Yamaha receiver is behind all the other music sources. I found an older thread saying to turn off audio processing on the Yamaha. The owner’s manual gives me no way to do that other than a feature called “Pure Direct” which is supposed to bypass decoders and processors. I have enabled this feature and the latency is still present.Any ideas? Thanks for the help in advance. 

I’ve tried wired and wireless but the sonos app does not connect to my Connect. I’m not sure if it is a clue but the LED on the front of the box is solid white all the time. I have tried doing a factory reset and have reset my router but nothing has changed? Can anybody help?? Thanks

On the Move speaker, I press and hold down the power button until the Move completely powers off and I hear the tone.. I then leave it overnight, powered off and removed form the charger. The next day I switch it back on again and the battery level on the app has decreased by about 5%. This drop in battery power happens every day the move is switched off   This should not be happening if the Move is powered down. I returned the Move and was given a new speaker and yet again this is still happening.    Has anyone else experienced this issue?

Hi all,I just bought a Sonos Boost to eliminate frequent dropouts. I tried to set up the Boost by adding it to the existing setup using the S1 app, but this process did fail with a message that there is a compatibility issue with the Sonos Boost after I followed the process “System” - “Add Boost or Bridge” As much as I understood from earlier articles, the Boost is supported in an S1-controlled setup, so my question is why I can’t add it using the S1 app?It would be excellent if you could help me out.

Beam is offline for some reason.bridge failed-replaced it &updated but cannot see boost or beam or play barreset network several times. No equipment moved. Reset Sonos 1app which then saw the bridge but can’t see anything else.HELP please

Sonos port on LAN via Cat6, feeding JBL commercial CSA 180Z 70v amplifier via RCA cables.Occasionally after some time, 1-2 weeks, the zone goes from clear and sounding great to noticeably distorted/static sounding, usually after listening for a decent amount of time, ~4-6 hours.  It’s independent of streaming source, which is usually Spotify or XM.  After power cycling the system it sounds fine again.  Is there any way to prevent this as its in a commercial setup. Factory reset?  Is there a way I can schedule a reboot of the device?  

Hi folks I have a fairly old Sonos surround system from 2014 (Playbar + sub + play:1).  I added a Connect:Amp to power a turntable and listen to it on the surround system. I want to add a pair of nice floor standing speakers to the setup just for listening to the turntable. I am planning to replace the Connect:amp with the new Amp. I presume the Amp allows easy switching between the home theater setup, the floor speakers, and if I want to stream to other rooms (I have Gen 2 Play:5’s in other rooms) or adding other rooms if I am using the floor speakers in the media room? I might end up driving more complex setups as I upgrade some components but this is where I am planning to start.

One of many nights coming home wanting to continue what I’m hearing in my car. Sonos completely and totally sucks. They’re it is.  I just spent 45 minutes plus trying to figure out how to take what I was just listening to on my iPhone into the home environment. No Bueno. System trying to find itself in my Wi-Fi net work… Who knows. When I fire up my TV all is good yet it fails to recognize me on my phone to listen to music and I am over it. Sonos completely and utterly sucks when it comes to just getting the job done as a music source
