Components and Architectural

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.

I set up new S1 system with a ZP90 that I had at my lake cabin. The controller gives the message “Bridge needs an update”. When I attempt to update, it fails immediately. I will add that the controller says (unused) next to it on the app. However, my system is basically functioning from the mobile apps. It will not function from the PC app. I cannot use the bridge to add a product. I have to connect another component to the router to add to the system. I also am unable to register any products as long as the bridge requires an update. How can I get the bridge to update so I can get full system functionality?Bridge     ZP90   Sonos One (Gen2)

How far apart should the ceiling speakers be installed?

Hi there,I’ve got 9 speakers around the house. A paired set of Play Ones in the kitchen are consistently AWOL when I want to start playing something. I’m looking for suggestions on the next changes I should try.Maybe it’s the speakers, maybe it’s my network config, maybe it’s wifi interference.I’ve had problems in the past with keeping any speakers connected and have tried several configs with varying success. Only having two speakers that disconnect/disappear regularly is the best it’s been, but still pretty annoying.Setup:1x Playbar & 2x Play:1 in front room HT setup on main floor2x Play:1 stereo pair in middle of main floor in dining room1x Play:1 in middle of main floor in office2x Sonos One stereo pair in kitchen at back of house on main floor1x Play:5 1st gen in basement at back of houseMy home network is a Unifi system with 4 access points so lots of options for configuration and lots of rope to hang myself with.One AP in mid main floor, one at front of house on top floor, o

I’ve had my Sonos for years. In the last 6-12 months it seems like all of my devices disconnect for no reason and I need to reset everything to get them connected again. I have a sonos 1 and 5 running 14.19. Currently using an Eero mesh router. Driving me crazy and making me consider getting rid of all of my speakers….

 I have purchased 2 Sonos One SL speakers, My questions are as follows.1:If I purchase a Sonos Port will I have the ability to connect it to my current sound system amp (connected to CD/DVD and television) and be able to “run” the sound from the old amp thru my new Sonos speakers in addition to “old” speakers currently wired to old amp? Question 2: Will I de able to send streamed music through the “old wired “speakers as well as the new Sonos pair?Thanks for your helpA Sonos Newbie😉 

Hi have brought a new to me ZP100 I had trouble connecting to my S1 system to start, but I could play a record player through it via speakers attached to it, good start, then I managed to connect it to my existing system, great but now I can play my record player through it ??? Help

Hi everyone,I have sonos amp and LG UM7100PLB. I wish to make lighting of my livingroom by Philips hue HDMI sync box. But I read it need Dolby Vision or atmos. Does sonos amp support it or TV? Thank you for answare 

I have a Sonos connect wired to my purely analog amplifier (connected to 2 floorstanding speakers through cable).I’m trying to stream Spotify music to the amplifier from my iPhone XS (so that I use the Sonos DAC) but the sound is chopping up (1-2 sec drops every minute or 2). So, no wireless speakers or anything,Sonos connect is on channel 6, router is on 11. I can stream perfectly from the iPhone to wireless homepod speakers so the wifi is not the problem probably. Not sure what is.
