Components and Architectural

Hi there,I hope that will be clear at all. I’ve have some delay issue using a turntable connected to a Phono port In to an old Pioneer amplifier.This amplifier has it’s own analogic port to a copule of passive speakers. And the music is flowing nicely.I’ve connected also a Sonos Port to the Out port of this amplifier, because I’d like to play my vinyl trough my house, since I’ve a couple of Sonos ONE and one Sonos Beam.The setup is working correctly, but I have some milliseconds of delay when I want to play across the all speakers at the same time, between my “analogic” room where I have the amplifier and the passive speakers, and the digital rooms.This problem doesn’t not exists if I’m playing Spotify or other 3rd party digital services. My configuration is working like this:Pioneer amplifier Phono In: Turnatable CD IN: CD player Tuner IN: Sonos Port OUT Adapt / Tape 2 OUT: Sonos Port In Sonos Port In → To Adapt / Tape 2 OUT Out → To Tuner In System configuration: Sonos Port Li

re System 2 AMP why do both my speakers play nothing when I select dual mono mode, but both play in stereo 

Hello,I am having an issue playing Spotify through my Sonos app. I keep getting an error message saying "Unable to play (song) the connection to Spotify was lost." After spending some time searching for a solution online, it became apparent that this is a widespread problem with no definitive solution. Nevertheless, I am determined to find an answer.Additional information:• Diagnostic: 2024196285• Internet connection is stable.• Issue just occured today during playback. Sonos system was installed a few weeks ago, and everything was working fine until today.• Spotify app works fine by itself, and I can play Sonos Radio through the speakers. The issue only seems to be when I try to play Spotify through Sonos.• I have tried powering the Sonos amps off and on. No fix.• I have removed my Spotify account in the Sonos app, and then reconnected it. No fix.• I have tried clearing my queue in the Sonos app. No fix.• I checked for updates on both apps after the problem occured. No update for Spot

I currently have an approximately 9 year old sonos bridge with sonos amps hardwired directly to my home speakers.  Can I replace my bridge with a boost without replacing my amps? 

Current equipment: LG tv ARC output to Sonos Arc. I would like to add a Sonos Port to control/provide input for my Onkyo (works with Sonos) receiver to play in the same room. I am having difficulty finding if this type of set up is possible? I would like to have both the Arc and the Port/Onkyo using the original audio output from the TV (via the arc hdmi) which is how I am currently listening/using the Arc now. 

I update the S2 app on my phone (and the software running on all my speakers) to 14.18 following an in-app prompt a few days ago.Since then my Connect has been gradually starting to lose time (lag) behind all the other speakers, getting continually further behind.  The echo caused by the lag becomes noticeable after a few hours, and after 24 hours I’d say it’s more than half a second behind.  The lag can be eliminated by rebooting the Connect, ungrouping it from my other speakers, or switching to a line-in source, but it soon returns and appears to get progressively worse.I’ve spent (wasted) a couple of hours talking to Sonos support through live chat and on the phone with no success.  As usual they have run through their standard set of responses, for example “there’s a lot of wireless interference”.  Well yes, I live in a thick-walled house, in a built-up area, of a densely populated country, not a log cabin made of balsa wood in the middle of nowhere.  Of course there’s a lot of int

The Sonos Amp goes into ‘idle’ mode when it doesn’t detect an audio signal for more than 3 minutes. It’s a shame that the Amp doesn’t automatically wake up from idle mode when the TV it’s connected to is turned on. Every time I switch the TV on, and begin playing content, I miss the first 3 seconds of audio as I wait for the Amp to wake up. Every other audio receiver I’ve used has been able to turn itself on when the TV is turned on, using HDMI CEC control. Could this not be implemented in the Amp? This problem also occurs when you pause whatever content you’re watching for more than 3 minutes - the Amp goes to idle mode, and then you miss the first 3 seconds of audio when you begin playing again. Could idle mode not be disabled when the connected TV is powered on?

A year ago playing Spotify stopped playing on my Sonos system consistently, but without warning after a few songs. After trying everything that was advised on the boards at that time I discontinued using Spotify because Apple and Amazon and other sources never quit playing.A year later, I attempted to play recommended Spotify music and it says is playing after only a few songs. I am surprised the issue has not been resolved after two years on these boards. Any advice other than rebooting system, upgrading Wi-Fi, updating system, etc. because I have done all of those things, and Spotify continues to be a problem on the Sonos only.

Hi,I’m having issues with my sonossystem for the past 3 years. Me and the support team really tried everything with my managed switches and al speakers are wired (6 of them) but we couldn’t solve it.To try something diferent, I bought a Sonos Boost yesterday and unpluged all the wired speakers. But all my speakers are still connecting to the wifi, instead of the boost. How can I force my speakers to connect to the boost?Thanks in advance!Thomas

Hi All , My QNAP just updated and broke Sonos …. Turns out the Update changes SMB settings in QNAP to Minimum SMB2 Solution…. >Control Panel > Network & File Services > win/Mac/NFS/WebDAV > Advanced Options .. change lowest SMB version to SMB 1 … click apply … hope this helps someone else 

Use Connect link to turntable but will not update. Error message says "incompatible"

I have just purchased two Boosts to use with two existing Sonos systems, both of which have some S1 only products and so require the S1 app to be used.  I read on the website that the Boost can be used with the S1 app, but when I try to set up the Boost it says it is only compatible with the S2 app.  Can someone advise me please? Thanks for any help!

I’ve been trying to find the WiFi specs of Sonos products to little success. Basically my question is this: Say I have a system with a Sonos Arc, Amp, and Port. I have the option to hardwire ONE of these devices to provide SonosNet to the other two. Which would provide the most reliable connection? (disregarding physical proximity). Which has the better antennas? Thanks!

Hello,I recently installed a Sonos Port to an Amp to control my speakers out by my pool. I can play music via SiriusXM on my ipad so long as I am connected to my wifi network. There is the issue. I was thinking that playing music and accessing the system via the sonos app would work remotely being the port is linked to my wifi network. Is that not how it works? Do you have to be on the wifi network to be able to start playing music? I wanted to be able to turn the speakers on for someone even if I wasn’t home.  Thanks!

I recently installed a Sonos Arc + Sub + Amp → 2x Sonance Architectural in-wall speakers for my rears.The technicians needed to plug the Arc in the eArc port of my TV, ethernet from the Arc to my Amp, and ethernet from my Amp to my router for setup. They said that this is now necessary for new Amps only, and that older same model Amps could connect wirelessly for this type of setup without ethernet.It’s not an issue for me now, but could be if I decide to move my router elsewhere, and not run ethernet cabling throughout my house.My question is: why do new Amps have this ethernet connectivity limitation while older models of the same device do not?

My issue is that I randomly get playback drop outs and the error log says ‘Unable to connect to Sonos product.’ The playback usually comes back and the next song in the playlist plays.It’s been doing it to me for a lover a year and it just did it again to me tonight.I’m currently running the following:Sonos OS: S1Version: 11.6.1 (build 571334140)Hardware Version: 1.1.16.4-2.0I’ve seen instances of this query before and the replies have always been centered around Wi-Fi. I’m not convinced as I get the same problems and I’m not running any Wi-Fi for my Sonos, which uses ZP90’s into Hi-Fi units.I am using a wired network of Netgear Pro Gig switches, Cat5 cabling and the NAS is a Dell 720 server (running Debian Linux 10.x) which it’s absolutely rock solid for everything else on my network.Note: I’m a network/computer professional with 30+ years in the game. 

Hi purchased a used connect amp and cant seem to connect to network and the the app doesn't find the product. I have done a factory reset and it is plugged in ethernet.the mute button flashes green all the time put cant seem to connect, am i missing something  

Can anyone suggest a few routers for Sonos surround sound ( arc, base, and 2 1s) upstairs sonos 2 Roams and a Move that are taken outside for parties, ethernet, and gaming? I tried buying a mesh network last year and had to return it as it did not work. The Verizon router I currently have is just not hacking it. I pay for 1 gig and I am pretty sure that my router is holding me back. I am hoping to take advantage of some Cyber Monday deals. 

Good day allI am desperate for some help with my Sonos system; it has never been reliable, and my efforts to sort it just seem to make it worse and worse.My setup:Sky Broadband through a TP Link Archer VR2100 routerSonos BoostGF:Beam, Sub and Two Play:1’s in Living Room.  The Beam is plugged into ethernet.Playbar, Sub and two Play:3 in Games RoomSonos One/Sonos One SL pairing in Dining RoomSonos One/Sonos One SL pairing in KitchenFirst:Play:1 in daughter’s bedroomTwo Play:1 in Master BedroomPlay:1 in StudyI have made permanent IP addresses for all the Sonos stuff in the router.After much cocking about this weekend I have finally seemed to get everything running on the Boost (I got this about a month ago in the hope it would solve the endless drop-out and play errors, and it’s only today I managed to get everything connected to it at once) so all are on WM: 0.  I just tried playing through all speakers and it worked!  Brilliant, sorted, I thought.  Forty minutes later the whole system w

Hi there  -   I have a Connect that I use only to Line-in a turntable; there are no speakers attached to it. So I’d like to keep Line-in as a music source, but remove it’s destination ‘room’.   Anyone know if this is possible on the S2 app?  Thanks. 

After four years of perfection, one of my Connect (GEN2) started lagging behind all the other Sonos speakers. Happens regardless of the source (TV, PC, Sonos App using Spotify, etc.). Have always used Sonos Net. Unplugged the Connect, waited 10 minutes, plugged it back in and made no difference. Tried the same with the Sonos Boost (ethernet connected to the router), then the router itself, and still the same lag only in the two B&O towers connected to the Connect (GEN2). The other Connect (GEN2) still in perfect sync (also connected to two B&O towers). The only difference between the two is the one out of sync has Hardware Version 1.22.1.4-1.1 and the other is 1.22.1.5-1.1. I’ve also tried changing wireless channels, to no avail. I have the app on three phones and a PC, all using version 14.18. Any ideas?

I have had my Sonos system up and running with no trouble for 3 years or so.  My system consists of 4 Play 1 speakers, a single One speaker, 2 Connects with a Sonance amp driving  in ceiling speakers throughout the house and one Connect through a Denon receiver driving my television room.  All of a sudden then Play 1/ One speaker are not even close to in sync with the Connects.  The One speaker required an update which I did and the problem seemed solved.  Today I tried to play music and it is all out of sync again.  Anyone have any thoughts on how to solve this?  I checked for other updates and everything is fine.  I pretty much only ever stream iTunes music through them.  

It appears that a dust cover isn’t included with the project sb, sold through the sonos site . Is this correct ? I’m trying to see if I can buy a project dust cover separately, but not finding them easily accessible in Canada. Any insights would be appreciated. 

So I’ve had a Gen 1 Connect:Amp from new for years, but I’ve never connected any speakers (because reasons). Just got a new house with speakers in the ceiling, so wired them up to the amp.And nothing, really. At max volume I can just about hear the speakers.I don’t have a ladder yet so haven’t checked out the speakers themselves (impedance, make etc) , but I’m assuming this isn’t normal?There doesn’t seem to be any hard-wired volume control that might affect it.
