Components & Architectural

I have two somance speakers connected to a Sonos AMP. The AMP is also connected to my TV. Occasionally, the volume drops where I don’t hear anything until I raise volume to 85+. It happens using th television or jus streaming music.  I have several other systems and this only happens in one room.  Any thoughts?

How do you connect to the Move 2 via line-in or by ethernet within Windows 11? I know others are using the Move 2 as their desktop/mobile speaker. The point is to get better audio quality as opposed to Bluetooth. As far as I know, there is no “Airplay” equivalent - the Sonos 2 app for Windows is complete garbage (don’t know what the hell the vision they had but it wasn’t the right direction).

Seems pretty simple but I’m not finding the answer.I have a Sonos Amp(firmware current), I have 4 external speakers connected to it and work just fine. I want to add the an outdoor sub. I have a OSD Forza 10 10" Outdoor Subwoofer with 300W of Power and High-Impact Molded Enclosure, IP66-rated Weather-Resistant. I;m pretty certain the SONOS AMP doesn’t power a sub, I will need an external amp, so I purchased a Nobsound G2 PRO Hi-Fi 300W Subwoofer Power Amplifier Mono Channel Class D SUB Audio Amp. I used an RCA Y cable from the SONOS Amp to the Nobsound, but no Sub output. Any suggestions other than buying an $800 sonos sub? I want this one, it is outdoor and works great off my Onkyo stereo. Sad this is so complicated with Sonos.

I recently purchased a new Amp and wired speakers and ethernet wired to my network hub in the house.  My TV as well as other electronics are also attached to this network hub.  My TV is nowhere near this new AMP, so an HDMI connection is not practical. Occasionally it would be nice to broadcast the sound from the TV to speakers in other rooms.  Since everything is network connected (ethernet), is there a way to get TV sound from these speakers? thx 

I am building a new home. In our great room we will have a frame TV, sonos amp and 6 architectural  in ceiling speakers. 2 of the speakers will be in the kitchen and I want to be able to control the volume of the kitchen speakers separately from the other 4. Sonos says that typically 4 speakers are used per amp but if you use Sonos Architectural speakers (8 ohms) u can use 6, but then they need to be wired in parallel. My question is: can I use a simple wall-mounted volume control dial to control the volume of the two kitchen speakers?

I just bought an Audio Technica LP 120 and am trying to connect it via Bluetooth to my existing Sonos setup which includes an ARC soundbar and 2 ERA 100’s. I’ve been through the manual and online and cannot seem to figure out how to do it. Thus far I’ve tried (many times) to pair the turntable with one of the ERA 100’s that is about 3 physical feet from the turntable.I would certainly appreciate any help that can be provided. Thank you in advance.

I want to connect two pair of Definitive Technologies AW6500 speakers to a Sonos Amp. According to the speaker installation instructions, each speaker presents a nominal impedance of 4-8 ohms. The Sonos Amp states it provides 125Watt continuous power sine wave, into an 8-ohm load, both channels driven. It further states that the Sonos Amp can power two pairs of 8-ohm nominal passive speakers wired in parallel. My question is can I safely wire each pair of the AW6500 speakers in parallel to the left and right channel of a Sonos Amp? If the speaker instructions indicated 8 ohms, I would have no question. However, stating 4-8 ohms has me questioning if this is safe. Any feedback will be appreciated.

Any recommendations on best placement for two Sonance wall mount architectural speakers? Will be connected to Sonos Amp (inside).  70% music 30% TV **Trying to figure out how to upload image

Hello there! 'm in the process of renovating my house (full ren of a single story house, down to studs, full framing accessible, still weeks away from any sheetrock / drywall going up). After weeks of reading and debating (largely with myself), I'm deciding to tap collective knowledge here...I choose Sonos for my simple audio system; I'm planning to have everything run to a network rack in the pantry, somewhat in central position in the house: Room 1: open space kitchen / living / dining: 900SF - new Sonos Amp ; thinking of using an in wall volume control so that I can have different volumes in the kitchen vs. the dining area Room 2: small bedroom / office 145 SF - old Sonos Connect:Amp (but S2 compatible) Room 3: main bedroom 190 SF - old Sonos Connect:Amp (but S2 compatible) Questions I've got: what are you recommendations in terms of in-ceiling speakers for each room? Model? Size? I'm open to spending a bit more for the Room 1 since most time will be spent there - max would be $

I recently ordered a replacement Outdoor speaker. The replacement only had two wire terminals. Then I checked and the existing had four.  It will not function with just the two but I do not see a product with four wire terminals? 

Hi all, I have the Sonos 2.1 amp and want to add a sub woofer to the Bose 251 outdoor environmental speakers.The Bose speakers are not wireless and on the back of the amp there is a single rca plug labeled sub. So do I need a passive or powered sub to connect to this amp? 🤔 Also any suggestions for an outdoor sub would be awesome!ThanksPhil

I have a simple home theatre setup consisting of a Beam Gen 2 and a pair of Symfonisk speakers which I’m happy with for TV and music streaming. Now I’m thinking of adding a pair of Era 100s connected to a turntable to replace my old analog HiFi setup.My question is how will the Era 100s interface with the existing setup? I’m planning to position the Era 100s as a traditional stereo pair in front of the listening position and was wondering if the turntable input to the Eras could also play through the Beam and the Symfonisk speakers simultaneously?Also, would the Era 100s be able to ‘join’ the existing home theatre setup not as surrounds (I’d still use the Symfonisk pair for surround sound), but as front left and right speakers either side of the Beam?Finally, when streaming music, can the Beam, Symfonisk and Era 100s work together simultaneously?Thanks in advance for any answers

Hi, Looking for some help with getting sound via my Roam connected to my turntable.  This is the setup I’m using: Rega Turntable > Pro-Ject Phono Box E BT 5 via RCA cables > Sonos Roam SL over bluetooth.. The issue I have is that it pairs successfully but I get no sound via the Roam.  I can confirm there is no issue with the pro-ject preamp, it works OK if I connect a different speaker to it via bluetooth.  Does anyone have any suggestions?  Is it perhaps a codec issue? Thanks

Hello All, I have a BT Home Hub 2 and four BT Whole Home Discs. Sonos signal is poor upstairs and Wi-Fi is cluttered with to many devices. I want to introduce a Sonos Boost. Where should I put the device in the house and what should I connect it to please?

Hi!I have a Play:1 speaker that was connected to my record player a Connect Gen 2 which has stopped working. I’m on a budget and want to replace it, does it need to be a Gen 2 Connect or would a Gen 1 work? Thanks so much!  

My Sonos Connect can see songs on my iTunes library but to play them I have to slect and play . When I try to play a play list or artist from the library I get the ‘’Unable to add songs to the queue” This is not a problem with my Sonos Play or my Connect Amp .thanks for any ideasBrendon

I can't turn off my Port status light. The problem started with an earlier software - maybe 15.4, and was corrected in 15.7. Now the problem is back with 15.7.1.  I've tried rebooting the Port, router and iPhone. Any suggestions?

Question can you add a Sonos sub to the Sonos amplifier?

If I am connecting a turntable to a pair of Era 100s for stereo, should I connect through line in on one and then use wireless to connect the other era 100 as stereo or should I connect through both Aux in’s? Also, when I am using the Era 100s to stream my turntable signal to other speakers in the house, do they need to be Sonos speakers or would other Airplay 2 speakers also work? Mostly curious about a HomePod mini.

Do grills come in wood-like colors for these speakers or only in white?

Hi,I’ve a sonos port connected to my amp, this last while I’ve noticed the level on my left speaker keeps dropping of when i switch it on. if i change the line-out level from variable to fixed and then back it’s ok. Anybody know why and is there a way to avoid this happening.thanks for any help provided.

I have installed 14 zones in a large custom home. Each zone consists of the following setup:Sonos Port → DEA 704D Amp → JBL Pro Control 322C (x4)I have had a slight buzz in all the speakers, some zones very subtle and some zones extreme. I have tried everything from grounding the rack, ground loop isolators, changing cables, checking software upgrades, changing breakers, outlets, etc … I even considered installing an entirely new breaker box to separate the audio equipment from the rest of the house.Then I discovered when I change the source of the audio from the Sonos Port to direct cables to my iphone NO BUZZING.  I installed a Sonos Connect Series II and NO BUZZING.  The internet search shows similar issues and dissatisfaction with the Port having noise. I would prefer to use the Port due to is having more features than the Connect, mainly the dual mono option. Does anyone know if there is a fix to the noise and/or a newer version of the Port coming out? Thank you. 

Hi, we just got our Sonos port working with our Sony str-az3000es through the “works with sonos” option and can make the receiver turn on, go to the right input, and play music using the sonos app but are wondering if there’s a way to make the receiver turn off using the app? Any information would be much appreciated. Thanks

I currently own a number of Connect and Connect Amp devices and am having problems when streaming via Tune In. My devices reset on a regular basis. I could understand if this was due to a poor broadband connection but my download speed is in excess of 50 mb/sec which is more than enough for Sonos.I’ve been told that this is due to a combination of the Sonos devices not able to buffer in storage along with Tune In not buffering as well. Note that my system is flawless when streaming from other providers such as myradio.com, etc.I’m thinking of replacing all of my equipment with new devices although I have no need for any of the “enhancements” found on newer devices.Does the new Sonos devices have the ability to buffer to avoid the dropouts?

Hello everyone,Question about the connexions with the Sonos Boost :If I connect the Sonos Boost to the Internet box with a cable, is it ok like that ? Or do I have to also connect one speaker with a cable to the Internet box / sonos boost ?I suppose it's ok if just the Sonos Boost is connected with a cable but I would like to be 100% sure. Thank you in advance. Bert
