Controllers and Music services

Hello,I have a Fiio X5 iii, how can I listen music from my Fiio player to my Sonos system (Bem + 2 sonos one) ?

Would anyone be able to answer this question about  S1 and S2 appsI'm presently using the Sonos S1 app to play music library stored on my Ipad device.The S1 app also allows me to play my music library through a 3rd party app called 'Djay'Using 'Djay' allows me to cross fade tracks and also provideEqualisation on the volume across the entire library.Can you please tell me if the S2 app will also permit this integration with Djay to allow crossfade and volume equalisation.Thank youFrank 

Hello,Is it possible to not only show dolby atmos in the app. but also if it is stereo, dolby, dolby 5.1, etc..Further it would be nice it lip-sync could be changed in minus direction, don't know if that is possible? Thanks. 

Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions for controlling Sonos without using a smartphone or a tablet? For example using the ‘Google Nest Hub’. I did read you can only do very basic commands and not full functionality like the Sonos App (searching, picking music, etc.).The reason I am asking is we want to give both our kids Sonos speakers as well but find both to young for smartphones or tablets to be in their room as a control device. I can limit internet access for the tablet and use-time, etc.. but it goes beyond that and is quite a uphill battle to get things to work well then. We also tried things like turning an ipad in or requesting use of it it. But that's even more of a hassle and error-proof. They are getting to be inbetween the age they can and cannot handle digital media well and aren’t supervised the entire time. My daughter just wants privacy in her own room, read or play, dance, etc. without a parent being there the entire time. But give them a digital device and you en

Will a Western Digital My Cloud Home work to play my MP3 music, on our Sonos  One/SL stereo pair set up which is controlled by a Amazon Alexa Echdot. Looking at maybe at getting a 2tb version. Don’t need it for anything else, at present all my music is on pc, and I use iPlayer to put it on our iPod a touch devices. Is there anything I should know about the WD my cloud, is it easy to set up with a Sonos, bearing in mind my skills are limited with computers.  Any other suggestions or help appreciated.

Hi, I removed the Bridge from my Sonos system and it works fine without it. But I hate to just throw electronics in the trash. Could I use the Bridge as a WiFi extender at home? Is there any other use for it? Thanks.

Hi everyone, Please help.I’ve had a gen 1 system for years with no problems, As of 12 months ago it started dropping out when streaming from spotify. I run a bridge hardwired to the router, a gen1 connect hardwired to my amp but wirelessly to the bridge and a connect amp wireless to the bridge. The problem seems more frequent on the connect but does also occasionally happen with the connect amp. So far I’ve upgraded my wifi to super fast fibre, changed channels on every piece of equipment i have, including sonos, It still happens, I then ran it with all other equipment depowered, It still happens . I’ve moved the router next to the connect, I’ve replaced the bridge with a Boost and finally I tried hard wiring the connect to the bridge. It still happens. I have no hair left.I’m about to throw it all in the bin.Is there anything else I could try before I do? 

Hi all, Firstly, I’m loving S2. Nice UX generally :) I would like to request moving the "Your Library" section to top of "Spotify" section in "Browse" screen. I believe this will create a more natural user experience for Spotify users looking to access the lists they have created. It is also only a small section of menu headers, so scrolling past it to the Discovery Type headers would be easy for those who simply want to take advantage of Spotify’s Discovery tools.  As it stands however, for me to find a list in my library that I haven’t added to “My Sonos” requires me to scroll for ages past all of the discovery headers down to the “Your Library” section. I actually didn’t even know this section existed anymore and only found it by sheer luck. I’ve shown my wife now how to find her lists and she agrees it’s in a difficult to find spot.  Thanks for considering! NOTES- Device = Apple iPhone 8+- Device OS = iOS ver 14.2- Sonos app = S2 ver 12.2.1

Fairly simple issue.  I’ve seen this happen with other apps but can’t remember which ones.  Google Music worked awesome with the Sonos app on my desktop as well as mobile.  I’ve migrated everything over to Youtube Music but when I try and connect Sonos with Youtube it says my email and / or password are wrong.  The message I get is “The email and password you entered did not match our records.  Please try again.”    I’m guessing there is a log file that may have an old password in it?  I am using the most current SONOS app on a windows machine.  Any tips would be appreciated.

This is more me being a bit of a neat-freak, but I have been using Sonos for a pretty long time and where I was able to trade in most of my systems my old Controller 100 keeps being listed as being an part of my current setup. I understand I cannot trade it in probably due to it’s age. But is there a way to get it out of ones system (I cannot fire it up anymore, it truly is dead, not even sure where I stored it).This obviously is something only in my Sonos account on the Sonos website. So it’s like the most minor thing ever. But if I can clean it up :) 

Is there a way to turn off a Sonos system remotely when you are out of town? My hubs was partying at our beach house and forgot to turn off the outdoor speakers last night. Neighbors were pissed.

I know this is an ancient topic but how can this still be an issue? I owned the playbar when it was new but the app back then was not very good with limited integration with Spotify for example. I loved the sound from the playbar but eventually sold it, partly because it wasn’t possible to control volume etc with an iPhone’s side buttons or from the lock screen. It’s just so unintuitive compared to a Bluetooth speaker. fast forward to 2020 and I thought it was time to give sonos another chance. I now own a Beam and Sub and the app is so much better. (And there is AirPlay and google assistant). I really would like to use the sonos app for playing music etc BUT I still can’t use the side buttons or get the controls on the lock screen.!! I’ve tried it all, closing apps, turning off all AirPlay devices. It even worked for a little while but then I connected the Beam to a Samsung the Frame 2020 and since then the controls are gone. I have turned AirPlay off in the tv:s settings. Does anyone

Trying to Calibrate the Sonos ARC and sub with the Sonos 2 app. Nothing on the app about calibration or Trueplay.Thank you

During the day, I usually have a playlist from my library setup to play in three rooms -- Office, Kitchen and Master Bedroom.  Around supper we usually pause that playlist, and then watch TV. At bedtime, I have another alarm (do not include grouped rooms) that is set to trigger a playlist in the Master Bedroom only that plays a small “silent” playlist, basically in order to clear the queue (since my other automation s/w seems to ADD to the playlist, but that’s another issue) before my 10:00pm “Night Night” playlist starts.  Whenever this 1 minute alarm triggers, the other two rooms start up again and continue playing where they left off.  Obviously this isn’t what I want.I can fully replicate this on demand so it isn’t just a fluke.Any ideas on this “bug”?My systems consist of this…Associated Product: 192.168.1.181---------------------------------Play:3: KitchenSonos OS: S2Version: 12.2.1 (build 61183170)Hardware Version: 1.8.1.3-1.2Series ID: A100---------------------------------Play:

I can’t seem to find anyway to rename my rooms using Sonos controller on Windows 10. I’ve read that it’s possible through the mobile app, but surely if the little mobile app can do it so can the full desktop controller app can too? This needs asked again and again because it’s ridiculous if it’s not possible.

Hey,  Just bought a Sonos speaker for my daughter and I, but she set it up, and now when I connect to the speaker, under "my Sonos" all her favorit channels are shown on my device as well.  Can we some how have our own "my Sonos" (one for each of us) or are we bound to have to mix our preferences and my daughter and I to have no privacy in choice of podcasts and music?  Thank you all in advance.

I’m considering upgrading from the Sonos Connect but it is not clear to me whether the S2 update enables the Sonos Port to stream high resolution audio via coaxial digital. I would appreciate any feedback from subscribers to the forum.

Play : 1 - How can I play the music file(mp3) in my ipone? I use neutron player(app) for flac file in iphone. can I play it with sonos play : 1?? Please tell me!!!!  Sonos!!!

Can I play I tunes music from my phone on my Sonos speakers 

Why isn't there a jukebox mode available? There have been plenty of requests over the past few years. I can't be only one who is driven mad by party guests ruining the vibe by putting an entire album on instead of just the required track. Can you give us a date when this is likely to released as a beta and I'd be happy to have a house party to test it for you?

What is the loud switch in eq on the app for. I have a Sonos BeamNew to Sonos sorry if this is a daft question 

I am incredibly frustrated with SONOS.  I was at a friends house who had a new SONOS 2.  It made me download SONOS 2 to use system.  Now I am back in my house with SONOS 1 components and it does not recognize my system.  When you open Sonos 1 app, it shows my system for a split second, and then reverts to Sonos 2 screen saying it does not recognize network. This is such a ridiculous business strategy.  It seems like you created forced obsolescence of your older components that worked perfectly fine! 

I have had Sonos for years and have Sonos 1 and signed up for YouTube Music a month ago.  Recently have been getting: "Error getting stream URL for track." and only one song in a playlist would play.  I then deleted Google Play Music since I had signed up for You Tube Music thinking that may be the problem.  Now all the songs in all playlists are grayed out and a circle with bar through it  in front of each song.  Can anyone tell me what is going on?  Thanks.

I’ve kept my system on the S1 software because I think the S2 software isn’t yet mature and there are no compelling reasons to change. When I try to add a Connect the Controller says it needs to update.  When I take that option I’m offered only the S2 app … that I don’t want.  There’s no other option.  It’s a really simple need: I just want to add a Connect to an existing S1 system. Before anybody asks, yes all my hardware (including the extra Connect) is S2 compatible.  But no, I don’t want to migrate to S2.

Apple Music song library won’t queue after playing either an album or playlist from Apple library...it simply adds song to the album played as the album is the current queue unless I clear it...then the new queue is limited to the song(s) selected, and not a queue fro the entire song library….help?...something simple I’m missing here?...I’m a new Sonos user...many thanks
