Hi,I have a Gen 2 Beam, a Mini Sub and two rear Era 100’s, is it possible to add a further two Era 100’s as front right and left speakers?  The TV and the Beam are off centre in my room, I’m thinking that two front speakers would enable me to balance the front sound with the Beam acting as a centre speaker (I previously had a non-Sonos setup which did this).

Hi Sonos, i have spent a fruitless few hours trying to get my system not work. Despite little hiccups with previous app updates I have generally been able to get it working. Now however, I am just sooooo annoyed and frustrated by trying to connect my well placed existing system.  All the trouble shooting suggestions require massive disruptions to the WiFi in my house or unplugging each device and starting them individually, only to find they connect for a millisecond and then disappear and say the product was not found. I have sent diagnostic reports, but all it will say is nothing is found. i had a great system and well connected to my WiFi, only to have an obsolete system working perfectly for a number of years. Now I am just deflated and disappointed as I contemplate buying a new system I can afford! Thanks for not showing any loyalty to your customers or systems.  

I didn’t remove my S1 Connect before upgrading to the S2 app. What is the easiest way for me to remove it now so I can run it separately in S1?Thanks

I have a Pioneer PL-990 turntable and just purchased Era 100 to use with it. The turntable comes pre-wired with RCA and I just got an RCA to USB-c connector on Amazon (didn’t get the line in from Sonos because that one only works with a single, not double RCA).  The speaker is set up and active in the app, but the line in settings are grayed out. What am I doing wrong? The music isn’t flowing through the speaker, when I turn the turntable on.

Hey gang,We have a SONOS ARC and SUB and it sounds amazing. Have some questions about how to integrate this for ATMOS with some architectural speakers? Like - how many AMPS will we need? And will this all work haha? Here’s our setup and question/situation laid out in more detail, haha: The house we bought/renovated came with 4 built in wall speakers perfectly placed for surround sound - 2 in the front, on either side of the TV (and about 10 feet apart, 2 feet above ear level, per Dolby). And 2 in the back - about 10 feet behind us, at ear level. Honestly, all pretty close to spec with what Dolby recommends when you go on their site. So that’s all good. On Black Friday, I found 4 SONOS in-wall speakers to replace these - as the ones we had are third party, and I know Truplay won’t work unless you use the SONANCE, yeah? So we’re going to get these installed. So that’s the first question - to have these work with the ARC and SUB, do we need one AMP or two AMPs? Ive seen several posts in t

I have Play 3 (x2) and Play 1 working just fine. They access Synology NAS for my music folder. I added a Connect:Amp (ZP120) which feeds 2 outdoor speakers, but it’s access to the music folder is denied. Radio and Spotify work fine, just access to the NAS folders is the problem.I have rebooted the NAS (I have SMB1 and NTLMv1 checked), removed and readded the path to the NAS folders in the S1 app.I tried altering the config file (smb? via SSH and PuTTY) but when I typed in cd/etd/samba it said that the file could not be found.I can play the outside speakers from the NAS file, but I have to group it to either the Play 3 or the Play 1.I cannot figure out if it is the Sonos unit or the NAS.Any ideas?Glenn

Hello everyone, i got a questions, just about to buying set of 4 sonos celling speakers. I am confused with the locations, anyone could help? Thanks 

Hi, I have an old Sonos Connect: Amp that I have a couple of bookshelf speakers connected to. I also have a Sonos Bridge.  Can I somehow play my Apple TV 4K audio through the speakers?  This would have to be over wifi. This Connect: Amp does not have HDMI.If so, can somebody point me to instructions on how to set this up?  I cannot find any information on this.Thanks.Sonny

I have a Sonos Amplifier and was hoping I can connect it to my MacBook Pro and play music from there in the same way one would connect the amp to a turn table, I don’t want to connect with Apple’s airplay because the sound is a little weak and airplay doesn’t take full advantage of the speakers capabilities because of the over the air streaming. I’ve connected my MacBook to the amp but the music not playing. Does anyone know how I can make this work.  Thanks.

Hello All - hoping to get a question asked, and a couple of pieces of advice.I currently have an X2 turnable, with preamp, going into one of a paired up set of Sonos Fives (with a Sonos sub). I have a CD player in the other Five.I’m going to go for a more traditional setup and purchase a couple of Wharfedale Eco 4.2 speakers. I saw a review in which the reviewer was saying he would never do this again because of the delay of sound - for example he drops the needle and the amp doesn’t start the sound until around 1 second later. No I have these options I can choose with the Five in which I can select different levels of delay but, does that feature not exist on the Amp. Are we stuck with a 1 second delay that can’t be changed?Secondly, can I use the Sonos Amp running into Wharfedale Eco 4.2 speakers and still use the Sonos Sub in that “Room” or do I have to run the sub cable independently from the amp?I also would love to hear from anyone running a turntable into a Sonos Amp then into p

Hi, I’ve built a new kitchen diner extension on my house and wanted to install the architect/Sonance in ceiling speakers in the space. I’m looking at buying the set which gives two speakers and an amp, then adding a second set of speakers as I understand the Amp can handle up to about 6 speakers. I have numerous SONOS products throughout my house already, and wanted to make sure the Amp would connect just like any other product and I could control music in the new space just like any other speaker in my house.Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.Thanks, Gareth.​​​​​​​

bonjour a tous puis je connecter un sonos connect amp sur entree locale et faire jouer cette meme musique en groupant un deuxieme connect amp sans latence pour les faires jouer dans la meme piece?

I’m able to get my CD player INTO the port. How do I get output through my receiver to my old non-sonos speakers?

Is it possible to connect Sonos Play 5 gen 1 to Sonos Amp wirelessly.

I have a Sonos AMP which was added to Apple Home app. I have an Apple HomePod too. I can control the Apple music on the HomePod with my iPhone and with my MacBook. I’m not AirPlaying to the HomePod, I can select it from the “Control Other Speakers & TVs” list and the HomePod streams from Apple Music itself. I would like to achieve this with the Sonos AMP. I know it is possible, but just via a very tricky way.Normally the AMP doesn’t show up on the “Control Other Speakers & TVs” list when I used it with other source (ex.: HDMI ARC). If I select as an AirPlay destination on my iPhone, I can AirPlay to it but in this case the iPhone sends a stream to the AMP. If I close the music app on the iPhone the music stops on the AMP.  But if I ask Siri on the HomePod (not on iPhone) to play something on Sonos, a music played back on sonos, and the AMP shows up on “Control Other Speakers & TVs” list. In this case the AMP streams directly from Apple Music. I tried to disconnect the HomeP

What is the purpose of the Ethernet port on the arc soundbar and the sub? Currently I have the arc connected via WiFi but I am wondering if Ethernet would be better.  Router is located on the TV console about 18 inches behind the soundbar. Wi-Fi connection shouldn’t be a problem. I do understand that my sub and era300’s connect via WiFi to the arc. 

I have a Sonos Connect:Amp that has been working great until recently. I have read through several similar posts in here and performed some troubleshooting, perhaps the most helpful to highlight is after reconnecting the amp to the app, the light is white. I have no speakers plugged into the amp and I attempt to play music to the amp and it immediately begins to flash white/amber. Any suggestions?

I am buying a WiiM DAC streamer , it has SPDIF and Coaxial outputs but Plybar only has Optical Input. Can I connect the SpDIF Out directly into the Optical input of my Playbar? If no means I Need a CONVERTER? 

Hi, Good morning I am having problem pairing my Sonos play:5 to my audio technica at-lpgo-bt.. I don't know with generation is my play:5

Last week I noticed that 8 of my Sonos devices were incompatible with the Sonos 1 app. Somehow the 8 devices were upgraded to 15.x. I have never installed the Sonos 2 app, so I don’t know how this could have happened.I looked through the community forum and saw that I would need to factory reset these devices, then install the S2 app and downgrade each device. I was able to downgrade all devices except for my two ZP100 devices. The S2 app does not list the ZP100s to downgrade, so now I’m stuck.Any advice on how to downgrade the ZonePlayers? I’m pulling out my hair with all theses steps to get my devices working once again.

I have a turntable with built-in amp. It is connected to a Play5 and sounds fine. I am adding another Play5 and also have 5 Play1’s, 2 Beams and a Move in the house. Not that I will play all speakers for the turntable, but curious to know when do I need to consider adding an Amp or do I even need to if I just play records on the 2 Play5s and maybe the Beam (3 total speakers)?  Thanks!

I have an Era 100 sonos speaker and I am trying to connect it to an Audio-Technica AT-LP60XBT turntable. I am having some trouble because I want to connect it with the line-in instead of Bluetooth because I want to connect it to more speakers. I bought an apple 3.5MM audio to USB-C adaptor and just plugged it into the turntable line out section with a standard 3.5MM aux cable. The sonos speaker isnt picking it up. Has anybody had this issue or know how I can get this speaker connected with a line-in connection instead of a bluetooth connection?

Hi everyone. We have a Audio-Technica AT-LP3WH turntable hooked up to vertically paired Sonos 5s that we just purchased.  We are only able to get sound from the left speaker. I searched the forums for suggestions and have done the following:Set the sound to compressed. Set the delay to max. Tried unpairing/repairing the speakers. Tried a different cable Tried plugging in the 3.5 cable to the right speaker. Verified that the cables are secure (note, if the 3.5 is not in all the way I just get sound from the right speaker). We played music via our phones connected to the 5 on the left and it played on both speakers.In all cases with the turntable we just get sound from the left.  I contacted Sonos and the technician was also unable to resolve the issue. He did have me remove the stereo pair and we were able to play it on both speakers but not when they were put back as a stereo pair. I also hooked it up to our older Play:5 and then tried to have it played on the paired 5s.  In that case,

I have an Arc and I’d like to be able to connect my non Sonos powered sub and a turntable to it. Would the Port work with the Arc and the turntable relatively flawlessly? 

Hi, I have an Emotiva RMC-1 Processor. I am wondering if the line level passthrough on the Sonos Port works with the RMC-1 processor?
