Adding WiFi mesh network - turn off Boost?

After a lot of attempts to get good reliable playback on my system, I’ve come to the conclusion that I’ll probably only solve the existing dropouts by moving to a tri-band mesh-type wifi network.So I’ve bought one of the midrange products (BT Premium Whole House Tri-band Wifi, three node), and plan to switch off my router’s wi-fi function (which is right at one end of the house and can’t easily be moved) and add the mesh network instead.The question: I currently have a Boost which is more centrally placed in the house, hardwired to the router - should I turn the Boost off once the mesh system is in place?(For completeness, the system comprises three Ports, two Symfonisk speaker pairs and one Symfonisk Frame)

Having trouble setting up Sonos system over mesh router

I had a Sonos arc connected to my wifi before. I am trying to add a sub and 2 more Sonos amps to power the in ceiling Sonos speakers. When I add the new devices, they go through the set up process, but right before being added to the wifi network, they throw an error something like, “The device was added to network. But it may not show up in system. Try add product to continue”. But I wont be able to add them. After trying factory reset around 50 times, I was able to add 1 more amp into the system. But no luck with sub and the other amp. I have a Google Nest Mesh router which is connected to Verizon Fios Router(which is in Bridge mode).When I looked up the devices connected to routers. The devices show up in the sonos amp have an ip in the format 192.168.1.**. But the devices that dont show up in the Sonos amp are only found in Google Home router page with ip address in the format of 192.168.86.**.I spent over 2 hours with customer care already. They did nothing but factory reset facto

Help Pro-Ject T1 BT and Sonos Amp

Hi all. New to forum and help with the following issues would be much appreciated: Getting hum when connect the Pro-Ject T1 BT to Sonos Amp, which I think might be ground loop, is that possible with this turntable given built in phono stage ? Sonos Amp has no ground post so where and how do I attach ground cable from turntable if this is what is needed to try and stop the hum ? How the heck do I turn off the annoying bleep on the Sonos amp if you press the volume up or down. It’s sound crazy annoying and spoils the listening experience ?many thanks for any advice.

Universal speaker floor stand that can be used for Sonos One

I’m looking for a recommendation on a universal speaker floor stand that can accommodate a Sonos One, I’m not a fan of the stands made specifically for Sonos One as I guess I won’t be able to use those stands for anything else in the future if I ever change to a different set of speakers.

Trouble adding Boost to existing system

Hi all,I’ve just bought a Boost 2nd hand. It arrived today and when I connected it up to my router the light went solid white, but the app couldn’t find it. I tried re-booting it then it occurred to me that the previous owner may not have de-registered it from their system so I factory re-set it. I’m now getting a blinking green light but the app still won't find it.I saw in another topic one of the agents suggested temporarily connecting one of the speakers to the router, then starting the “add product” process again for the Boost but this hasn't worked either.Can anyone help me get it connected please?

MQA Full DAC

Good afernoon.What happens if I install an external Full MQA DAC between the Sonos Port and the receiver, would the DAC perform the last stage of decompression or would I still be limited to the maximum Sonos sampling frequency which is 48 kHz?

Sonos Airplay totally broken when Airplay password is enabled

Whenever someone enables Airplay Require Password on the Apple TV or in the Apple Home app every Sonos speaker in the house blocks itself from receiving an Airplay stream and asks for an AirPlay Password.Airplay works fine to Apple devices but not to Sonos devices once the password is enabled. Disabling the AirPlay password on the Apple TV or Home app has no effect on any of the Sonos speakers. They still ask for an Airplay password.The only thing which seems to fix the issue is resetting each Sonos speaker one by one.Anyone experienced this problem? (I’ve tried calling Sonos but keep getting disconnected case number 04688582 / diagnostics 726588139)

Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Sonos Edition to Port connection

I just got my Pro-Ject’s DC, set it up as per the instructions from Sonos included in the box. But the Turntable has a grounding wire and unlike a traditional phono preamp, the Sonos Port does not have one.  Do I connect it at just the turntable?  Connect it at neither end?  Or is the grounding perhaps taken care of via the built in pre-amp?

Sonos's own radio stations versus TuneIn

I understand Sonos’s radio stations are actually using TuneIn. Is there any advantage in playing a Sonos station when it are also available on TuneIn? Are there more features or is there better stability?

Connecting Beolab 6000 Speakers to Sonos AMP

HiTried to connect B&O Beolab 6000 speakers to Sonos AMP.  It seems to work, but the volume is loud when using as TV speakers or even Streaming Music.  Even at lowest settings (aside from 0) they are loud.  Tried adjusting the Volume Limit but wasn’t helpful. Any suggestions?  Is it a setting issue?  Or something else?  And since these are Active speakers, if I turn off the TV, there is still the buzzing noise from the line - it won’t ‘shut off’ the speakers.  Any feedback is appreciated, thank you!

Outdoor sonos speaker volume control

Hi, I have two monitor audio ceiling speakers setup in my outbuilding with a Sonos Amp and Sonos sub.  The system sounds awesome! I would now like to add 2 additional outdoor speakers to the system and would like to limit the volume of this set independently of the indoor speakers.   Is there a speaker pair that I can buy where I can restrict the volume on the speaker itself?  I just wanted the ability to have a low outdoor speaker volume.I understand Sonos doesn’t allow the independent control of different speaker pairs… thanks

Music keeps stopping but only on the Amps

We’ve got several Sonos products, most of which work fine.In 2 rooms with an Amp with ceiling speakers, the music randomly ‘mutes’/ stops whilst the other Play units carry on. It’s not for long & then they join in againAlso, in other rooms with AMPs, the speakers won’t play over a certain volume for prolonged periods.Thank you in advance

Sonos Amp dead

An older thread was closed on this topic.  I have a 3y old Sonos Amp that also died.  No power despite trying multiple power cords, outlets, reset.  We have 4 amps and 4 ports, and none of the others died so I do not think this is a power surge (all are connected to surge protectors).  I am now a little worried, since this was the oldest amp we have--  are these other Sonos Amps destined for failure?  Before I buy a replacement, I wanted to see if others are seeing these fail...

Sonos connect variable output level question

Hey I have the coax feeding my receiver with the output set to variable. I have to turn the volume up on my receiver 40db from the default to match the SL’s in the other room. Is there any fix for this? It’s a bit dangerous since if the source is switched at the receiver the volume is so high it could blow a speaker - it’s happened and the effect is total voice of God.

U Bolts for mounting Sonos/Sonance Outdoor Speakers

Has anyone mounted the Sonos/Sonance Outdoor speakers to a pole. The instructions says to use 2-½ inch U bolts but I don't know the thickest bolt that will fit in the holes. The ½ in is too thick so will a .3in or ¼in. fit. Thanks.

Sonos Play:1, Sonos Connect and Onkyo Network Receiver TX-8260 connection

New to Sonos. Unable to make this combination connect and play. Have tried both Sonos Apps: “Sonos S1” & “Sonos” and am getting conflicting error information. The Onkyo website says this receiver is compatible with the Sonos Connect hardware. I have tried the various help pages with no luck. Is this interface possible? I want to play music to 3 Play:1 speakers over wi-fi.

Can 2 amps be syncronised to play music together?

I have an outdoor place and I am looking to buy 1 sonos amp with 3 pairs of sonos architectural outdoor speakers and 1 sonance 6.1 garden series with sonos amp. Can I play the same music and synchronize both amps to play the music together? Also, if I am playing the music on 1 amp connected to 3 pair of outdoor speakers, is it possible to turn off 1 or 2 pairs or do all 3 connected speaker pairs will have to play together?
