Hello fellow members I have a question regarding the Sonos boost. I have been using it for a few years as I decided to add a separate Wi-Fi network to all my Sonos speakers in the house. Since I never had a problem with signal dropouts.Recently I added a pair of ERA 300’s as surround speakers and looking into the system settings in the Sonos app to check if the new ERA’s where connected to the separate Wi-Fi Sonos network I realised that I no longer can see in the settings if the speakers are connected to the Sonos boost by looking at the WM setting. My Sonos boost has been always connected directly to my router using a RJ45 and I am wondering now if Sonos have dropped this device whether or not it is worth still having this connected and if there is any benefit al all?thanks.  

Sonos used to work well, I started using it many years ago but the new app is very slow and I have to call support to get the system up and running. Now I turned off the 2.4GHz network and tried to run sonos on 5GHz. Does not work so system is not working (again) since a week. The ‘wizards’ in the slow S2 app does not help and system can’t be found. I even tried downloading the old S1 app to get that running with the system, but it does not find any of the speakers. I use Android (tried with 2 different phones) and Play 1, Play 3 as well as connect amp.

I am setting up a multi-room set-up in the Master Bath of our new house.  I am going to have one in-ceiling speaker in the wet room.  This speaker needs to be weather resistant and have stereo inputs. The best speaker I have found for this application is the Monitor Audio AWC265-T2.  It is an 8 Ohm speaker with two tweeters to provide both left and right sound. The wet room is about 6 feet by 9 feet with a sloped ceiling and a lot of glass (two big windows and a wall of glass).  The other part of the set-up is the part of the bathroom with the sinks and is 6 feet by 11 feet.  I want to use 2 Sonance in-wall speakers in that room.  They would be set 8 feet off the ground, 2 feet from the ceiling on the short wall which is only 6 feet wide.  A couple of questions.  Are the tweeters pivoting in the Sonance in-wall speakers?  Can I use remote volume switches between the amp, that will be the source for all 4 speakers (Amp will see the Monitor Audio speaker as 2) and the speakers so that I

Help needed…Hello Team, So I am currently renovating our house. I have been a Sonos customer for a long time, through the good times and the bad. Now one option I am considering is sticking with Sonos and adding an Amp with six architectural in ceiling speakers for casual listening and parties (I love music all the time everywhere but am not an audiophile). The ceiling is vaulted and so the four speakers along the wall will be angled by the pitch towards the stairs/kitchen space. The two end speakers will be angled inwards also on opposing angles which all meets in the middle at about 4m height. Room is 11 x 4 metres roughly. Hard floors, hard ceilings, hard surfaces. Questions/Help asked:1. 6 or 8 inch? (will be a sub in the bench seat). The 6 inches can be tilted and the 8 cannot but As I’m using for music firing it straight down isn’t necessary I assume and there will be no fixed listening position due to the multi purpose nature of the space. 2. 4 or 6 speakers?3. Room Placement- d

Hey,I already bought this turntable a couple of years ago, but i’m trying to plug it in the Sonos Ampin the Analog Audio In with the RCA Audio Cable from the turntableAfterwards I follow the instructions from the manual to start playbackThe Sonos App shows there is a Line In connection but it doesn’t play on my speakers.It shows a sort of signal from playing and I heard that my Turntable plays a number.Also switched the button on the turntable to switch from phono to line and reverse.I’ve already tried so many things but I can’t get it to work.Can somebody help me?Best regards,Mark

I have a pair of connects. One died one day. Won't get out of the orange/white blink after a reset so figured it was time to replace them anyways. I purchased one WiiM to replace the broken Connect. After I got it set up I went to open the Sonos app just to make sure that was connected and I had a forced app update. After it updated and asked me to create a network again for my connect. Unfortunately it has not been able to find the connect that has been working for several years. When I tried doing another reset I tried turning the phone off and on. I've tried everything except try and connect it directly to the router just to set it up again.Is that my only option at this point or do you just replace that box since it's not supported anyways 

Almost 2025 and still no comprehensive EQ for AMP. 😔I can understand limiting all-in-one Sonos speakers and soundbars etc. to bass/treble controls in EQ. These products have most likely been carefully voiced and I’d assume they don’t want to provide users a way to detrimentally alter the sound with aggressive eq’ing which could damage brand perception. Maybe that’s not the case and they just simply want to keep the app easy to use / configure.Either way, AMP users should be provided a more detailed EQ option, since the amp is paired with a myriad of 3rd party speakers, all with unique voicings. If the line-in wasn’t so poor, you could theoretically EQ somewhere else in the signal path, and then use the amp like a power amp, but that kind of defeats the entire purpose of being in the Sonos ecosystem. The Wiim amp at $299 offers a 10-band parametric EQ and a 10-band graphic EQ (and high-res streaming up to 24/192 - but that’s another discussion).I doubt this is a hardware issue, because

I have old rectangular in ceiling speakers that connect to a sonos amp.  I want to replace the speakers and not have to do too much patch work.  Can I use the in wall rectangular speakers in the ceiling?

Hi everyone,I am a beginner in this field. We got this second hand system in my house. We have Sonos speakers installed in the walls and ceiling. We have an entertainment stand with Apple AirPort Extreme, a switch, a Sonos connect, a Denon AVR-X2600H and a subwoofer. There is another Sonos connect in the pantry room connected to other wall Sonos speaker. I don’t see green light on sono connects and cannot hear sound from speakers. Appreciate any help and assistance.   

Hello. The 3.5” driver foam on a Play:1 speaker has cracked. I believe this was a common problem. I want to replace the entire driver. Does anyone know of a direct replacement? NB that the (4) hole pattern of the driver’s frame is (oddly) 72 x 77mm. Codes I have found on this driver are: (front, in the rubber surround) SONOS 405-00314 REV A CAV 31; (rear, on a small white sticker) 180-00057 PHWP17102602185 

I had a Creston and Sonos sound system  installed about 18 months ago. My system just stopped working My installer tells me my Port is bad. Surely they last longer than 18 months. Can I get a refund?

Music was playing during the day and stopped for no apparent reason. tried to reconnect without any success. reset systems , same thing. close power for 10 min, same thing. was showing “something went wrong” every time I tried to reconnect. any idea ??

Sub connecting to wifi, but not working

Auto play for the line in of my Port is back in the app again. That’s great, and it seems to work. However it is not working as it should be. At least not how it worked before.It works all just fine when I played my music (with Spotify) and later (Spotify is paused/stopped playing) I turn on my tv which is connected to the line in port. Then the Port automatically starts playing the line in and changes the volume to the preset value.But now I have changed the Line in volume while watching tv. I stopped watching and after a while my Port auto pauses the line in. Great. But now, when later I start watching tv again, the Port only resumes playing the Line in and leaves the volume untouched. Why is that? Why isn’t the volume changed to the preferred setting for auto play?

I inherited a restaurant with a sonos system in place.  I don’t know what the speaker types are but they are all wired to an amp which is connected to 2 ports, one labeled for half of the restaurant and the other the opposite half. Issue is, they both control random speakers throughout the restaurant, one speaker doesn’t even seem to be connected..  There aren’t many, maybe 20-25 speakers max.  I don’t really need 2 seperate channels.. It’s too small a place to play 2 different sounds at once. That’s not all.. What had happened was.. the amp was not the right size for the power and was making some wild noises so a friend offered to swap it out for another that could handle the input. (I don’t know crap about this so bear with me on the terminology. I’m a chef.. I’ll filet you a fish or make you a souffle without batting an eyelash but I am probably going to sound like an idiot going forward). The speaker wires are all jammed into the available black and red wire spots in the back.. onl

What is the future of the old white Connect?  How long will it work?  How long will the S1 app work?

Hi everyone,I have an old Sonos Connect which I would like to link up to some decent Mordaunt Short speakers. Which amplifier (happy to buy used off eBay) would you recommend? Or is there another way to get the speakers hooked up?Many thanks in advance!

Hi,I hope you can help me reset my Sonos Connect.After applying power with the pause button depressed, then releasing the pause button after about 15 seconds:the led flashes white/orange forever the led does not transition to green. the network port (cable connected) flashes so the switch and network is working.I have tried other combinations many times without success.Any ideas please?  ThanksRich

Love the Amp hooked up to my Paradigm towers and TV in 5.1 Also using Tidal music awesome sound with the MQA👌👌

I'm just going to keep posting about this until I get a fix or Sonos acknowledges the damn bug!I have 3 sonos amps, and a powered sub. Connecting to the sub output on the amp works, but very quietly. I have to push the subs' gain up to full to get any output! Critically, the app doesn't show the sub controls when a sub is plugged in. At all. I've tried all 3 amps with the sub, all exhibit the same issue. Anyone else seen this? And is sonos even going to acknowledge it? Or will we see another pair of damn headphones before they do? 

I thought we finally put the Sonos problems behind, but after last update of apple update ios.17.6.1 the Sonos app is lifeless. It doesn’t even open. Thankfully SonoPhone always works. Handy as a back-up just incase.  I’m not even going to and try and fix this, just make sure that I won’t buy extra speakers etc for a while

I just moved into a new home and it has 4 speakers.  But, looks like it only has 1 set of these wires.Can I still connect them to Sonos Amp? Thank you

I have an outdoor/patio TV setup. Wondering the best way to arrange this system. Someone suggested the SONOS outdoor speaker set for my patio TV setup paired with a AMP. I was about to purchase and realized I have TWO first Gen/Older AMPS in my closet that I replaced with the newer (gen 2) ones to use in my house. My patio is positioned in a way that WiFi simply isn't possible. I have power out there but you have to walk probably 50 feet past other units to get to my private patio. Theres no outets to run extenders and its much to far. So lets just assume NO wifi.  To watch movies I connect my TV to my wireless hotspot on phone and stream (works great) I live in a very noisy area (city) next to an airport - so its Noisy. I need pretty loud system TV is a pretty basic TCL I got on Amazon (I didn’t want to spend big bucks for something I was leaving outside). TV has a waterproof cover.  If I set up a system with an AMP I’d need to likely install the AMP in my shed. So was really hoping f

Hello, For the amount of money I have spent on Sonos, they have to pivot to the original companies prurpose. I could have purchased a Hi-Fi amp, and beautifully crafted speakers for the same cost. SONOSs' app update has failed and left owners with brick devices and in the lurch once again. The google disconect with GEN 1 speakers and app update making speakers useless,  and within 2 years of purchase is also unforgivable. l keep my suround (Play Bar, Sub, 2x Play One,  and a Play 3. I sold a couple of Play 5s. I am NOT going to buy any new product, when every update makes devices useless. You can spend $5,000 much better on high quality wired equipment that you control.For this amount of money you can get some serious hardware and never have to deal with an app, or a poor update ever.The constant cancellation of threads and conversations in this community space is also telling. Stop deleting the threads & stopping those who are having conversations about the value of your product &
