System with a playbase (wired), two ones (wireless) as rear surround. Just bought a sub (wireless) to complete the set, however getting it to connect has been a struggle and now that it's connected I'm not getting any sound out. Diagnostics are here.... 1199550220

I currently have a whole house audio system with 6 Sonos Amps.  In two of those rooms, I have a separate TV/Audio/Speaker setup with their own speakers tied to Sony STRAZ1000ES receivers.  All the Sonos amp as well as the STRAZ1000ES receivers are all nicely stacked in one location.  I know the STRAZ1000ES has the “Works with Sonos” feature but for the life of me I do not understand it.  Can someone provide direction and/or feasibility to do two things that I would love to accomplish with these lovely items. I would love to watch the TV and have the audio play through the whole house audio (Sonos Amps).  I see the TV Line in option on the Sonos app but from what I understand it is only available if I’m using a sound bar option? Is there a way to play the audio that is playing through the whole house audio through the STRAZ1000ES at the same time?  I assume this is what the “Works with Sonos” is all about but cannot figure it out.  Plus, since the receiver acts as my main audio player f

As says in the title. I have 2 Play:1 and a Play:3.Replugging the system doesn’t help. Only reboot. Router is the TP-link AX6000, Sonos is on 2.4 MHz, Laptops and phones are on 5 MHz. It happened before once in a while, but now it happens every day. Any suggestions?

I have a Sonos Port to which I have connected a pair of analog speakers via an amplifier. I would like to add an additional pair of analog speakers, along with an analog sub, to this system (also via a separate amplifier) to play in an entirely different part of my house.Is this possible? If so, what would the setup look like? My existing Sonos Port has only a single analog output.

In my living room i have an Sonos Amp with 2 passive speakers. In the kitchen and outdoor i have sonos ones. I consider to by a victrola stream turntable. Is it possible to wireless connect this turntable to the Amp, so that i can play vinyl through the passive speakers? The Amp is in a closed tv cabinet, and putting the turntable nearby is not an option.

Hi all, Thanks in advance for any help you can offer. I’ve seen another post that never got resolved, so hoping to finally nail this one. The setup is simple. Sonos amp connected to two speakers (working perfectly), and a sub RCA line which is split into two RCA going into a FOSI subwoofer amp. I don’t know why, but the Sonos AMP is just not passing a signal to the FOSI. I can confirm that everyting from FOSI to the sub is working correctly, as if I play music via bluetooth to the FOSI (it is a BT receiver as well) the sub functions well. I have confirmed that when trying to use the Sonos AMP I have the FOSI set to the connected inputs and not BT, so it’s not that.  So…. any ideas? Oh, and I turned on the SUB option in the Sonos App, so it should be functioning properly.  Thanks so much for any thoughts. 

I’ve recently purchase an open-box Sonos Port from Best Buy, in US. After bringing it to Brazil, I found out it had been previously registered to an account that obviously I don’t have access. Will a factory reset allow me to register it to my account?

Sonos sound drops out when routing various music services via a Sonos Connect device (S1)My Sonos system is version S1 and comprises: Controller, Connect, and Play 5.Connections: Play 5 is a wired connection to Virgin Media router. Connect has a wireless connection to my home network and has a wired connection to my audio amplifier. My network has a Virgin Media Wi Fi Pod to improve network performance.What I know …..I previously had difficulties accessing the Sonos Controller in our main living area and this has been resolved by adding a Virgin Media Wi Fi Pod to strengthen the network signal (now showing 28 Mbps download speed).However, the audio feed through the Sonos Connect device is falling out at regular intervals (it’s off more than it’s on). This issue started before I fitted the Wi Fi Pod.My system previously included a Sonos Bridge, but the Sonos Community advised removing this when I contacted them at least a year ago. This improved the performance at the time.The Sonos Con

I have a Sonos amp w 6 outdoor speakers and a sub.  I have been listening without issue for about 2 months and out of the blue, 3 speakers (left channel) have gone out.  Still listening to the right channel speakers w/out issue.  Before I start digging up my landscape any suggestions?

Hi All, My Sonos system previously had (2) amps and (1) one SL speaker and everything was working fine, (all items were hooked up wirelessly).  I did recently change my wireless provider but I reconnected all the devices with no issues.I added an additional one SL speaker to the system (total of 2 one SL speakers) and everything was working fine until one of my amps disappeared from the system shortly after adding the speaker. When I tried to factory reset the amp that disappeared, it keeps failing to connect to the network even through all the other Sonos devices are connected to the same network with no issues. I keep getting a message during set up that says “the connection to your Sonos Amp was lost.  Move your mobile device closer and make sure Sonos Amp is powered on.”  The amp and router are only about 5’ away from each other and the amp is obviously on during set up (my cell phone is also next to the amp during set up).  I tired to hard wire the amp with an ethernet cable but s

Looking to update my Sonos S1 system which includes a Bridge, Boost, and 2 Connects.  What do I upgrade to?

Hi All, I have an AVR and I connected a port to it. Now I can switch to the Port input and it will play stereo out the left and right channels in my theater. My AVR has sub pre-out’s and I want to purchase a powered sub and attach it to one of  the pre-outs. Will the Sub work with the music streaming out of the Sonos Port ? I obviously also expect the sub to work when I am just using the theater normally as well. I am still figuring out how to also replicate the stereo sound to my rear channels as well. I have a Denon S660H if that helps. Would appreciate any feedback on this.Thank you.​​​​​​​  

I’m looking to install 4 sonos ceiling speakers into a living/dining room, powered by one amp. The ceiling is sloped (single slope, shed roof style). The room is 25’ L x 17’ W. The slope runs along the long wall.My question is around placement and options for balancing the sound. Two options:Have all 4 speakers at the same height about 1/3 of the way up the slope. With the slope pitch, this would have the speakers face into the middle of the room. The speakers would not be so much left/right of the listener, more coming from one direction but at least all at the same height. Have 2 speakers at 1/3 way up the slope and another two directly in line with those at 2/3 up the slope. A more standard quadrant setup. However, they would not be at the same height. The issue here is how I’d control the balance of the higher vs closer speaker on the pitched ceiling. Would Trueplay be able to balance the height differences? I realize that without adding a second amp there is no way to control the

My system (running on Sonos Net) has been stable for about a year. For no reason, no WLAN changes etc. the r/h stereo pair (Play3 - deats below), keeps ”forgetting” its paired status and no music will play thru it. The L/H speaker works fine, whilst still paired. If I break the pair I can play music thru the individual R/H speaker without needing to reconnect to SonosNet or system. I can even re add the 2 speakers to a steep pair again with no problem. However, overnight the R/H speaker will stop playing in a pair and I have to repeat the same process. It is not dropping network or Sonos net connection overnight. I have removed the whole system and reconfigured it all again but same thing keeps happening. Also, recent software updates (latest = 15.7) removed my System Name from the config and only retained the speaker products. Had to re enter the System Name multiple times as keeps forgetting this setting. Also, when streaming from Spotify, crossfade does not work, tracks cut into eac

Hello,I am wanting to add two speakers outside my house. My current setup is one sonos amp that is hardwired to 4 (non sonos brand) in ceiling speakers. The amp is also connected to my TV and soundbar via an hdmi line and via an optical line. My bass is connected into the amp as well.I am just wondering if there is a way to add 2 more wireless or wired speakers to the system in this currently set up.  Thank you in advance.

Hi Community!I currently have an integrated amp with multiple inputs (turntable, CD player, AM/FM tuner) and multiple passive speaker outputs grouped by room (kitchen, patio, living room, etc.) The speakers are connected to a switcher for each set (room) and connected to the integrated amp via two L/R speaker connections.I am wondering if the switcher could connect to Amp via the two L/R speaker connections (thinking yes). However, I do not know how to solve the component input question. Would I need a preamp?The goal is to take my existing analog/passive system, integrate it with SONOS speakers, and control everything through the SONOS app. However, the speaker switcher would probably be recognized as one channel, right? Would I need an app for each room, then? Thank you!

I have a Nuvo based system that has 8 separate zones and 12 pairs of wired speakers, each pair driven by an Elan amplifier (12 amplifiers total).  The Nuvo Music Port has gone bad, and I’m thinking of switching to Sonos.  Since I already have an amplifier for each speaker pair, I’d like to use the Sonos Port as the source as opposed to the Sonos Amp.  I’m thinking of combining a few zones so I could cover the entire area with 4 or 5 Ports.  While this will reduce the independent zones to 4 or 5, I won’t have to buy 8 Ports (or even 12 if I wanted one for each amplifier).  My question is whether the Port’s output can be split 2 or even 4 ways to feed the amplifiers without having a problem with signal attenuation.  Comments from anyone who has experience with this would be much appreciated.

Hello everyone, I want to install a  Sonos system at home, my idea is to install 3 sonos amp, i Will conect them wired to a not gestionable swicht next to my router.My doubt is related With  the WiFi conexión, i have at home 3 diferent acces points around home same Id and password also in range in the main network, Will the App work, do i have to make am especific configuración of my network.

I moved to a new house with an existing Sonos soundbar and an Sub Woofer that was connected to a smart home system (i could not set up Sonos System by myself yet) the house has built in speakers with an 5 different zones (10 cables). Is there a Sonos Amp I can get to connect these cables and the existing speakers to be controlled by the Sonos App? it seems all the amps only connect one physical output.

HiYesterday, I installed my Port and it worked largely as advertised. My system has a turntable, vacuum tube preamp and vacuum tube power amp. The port’s RCA inputs are connected to the preamp’s output, and the port’s RCA outputs are connected to the power amp’s Line in. I can play the turntable through the Sonos speakers, which is why I bought the Port, but I can no longer play the turntable just (not through the Sonos speaker) through the hifi speakers without first removing the Port. Is there an app setting I’m missing, or does the Port not just pass through audio signals if the app is not in use?

I have a Sonos 1 system with several speakers that are only able play at Sonos 1 level.I inherited some classic vinal and want to play over my existing level 1 speakers.I purchased a Connect and have the line out from the turntable going into line in on the Connect.The connect is connected to my Sonos 1 system and I can see it in the Sonos app.I cannot get any music to play through my speakers, have I purchased the wrong “Connect” to play my albums on my Sonos 1 system.Thanks in advance.

General question: does boost help with connectivity issues when NOT using the Sonos mobile app?  I get drastically different results when streaming music through Sonos app and Apple Music. When stream from apps other than Sonos, performance is spotty and spottiness increases when streaming to higher number of speakers. 

Can the Port driving a slave amp be configured to work with an ARC to drive rear speakers in surround? Dan

I am planning to add a phono to my sound system setup. I currently have a port connected (Digital Out) to an external Analog-to-Digital Converter which then runs to my stereo preamp, then amplifiers, then speakers (of course). In this way, I am avoiding the Port A-to-D, and using my supposedly better fidelity off-board converter. If I were to connect a phono to the port, I assume I would connect to the line in. I have a few questions: I assume the RCAs labeled “Out” on the port are analog outputs? Do I connect the phono pre-amp before the “In” RCAs, or after the “Out” RCAs? I read before the “In” is correct, but does it matter? Would the phono signal be available at the output RCAs, as well as the digital out?  Would the output RCAs have been digitized/un-digitized, or would it just be pass-through? In other words, would the line-in source be passed to the “Out” RCAs without going through a A-to-D and then an D-to-A?Obviously, I could just route phono to phono pre-amp, then to stereo p

I have two Sonos Connect devices (in different rooms) running S1. Device A is connected by ethernet and B by wifi. RIght now, my router reserves bandwidth both for the Ethernet connection to A and for the Wifi connection to A, along with the wifi to B. (The router recognizes 3 Sonos connections.) The problem is the router partitions bit-speed, and I'm at the limit of what my ISP can do. So I want to make the A connection eithernet only, bringing down the denominator by one in the division of bandwidth. Sonos does have a setting for that, but when I disable wifi to A, mysteriously B disappears from my system. Can anyone help me fix this?
