Controllers and Music services

Is there any way to have different levels of surround volume when streaming Atmos and normal stereo tracks?  At present I listen to music with my rear speakers set to ‘full’ and the surround volume set at +5, however, when I’m playing atmos mixes the music becomes unbalanced as I’ve gone from essentially 2 stereo speakers turned up a bit to the surround channels overpowering a different mix.  if there isn’t a workaround then what’s the possibility of a separate option to be added so that atmos music surrounds can default to a different volume than stereo ‘full’ surrounds? I know it’s a minor thing but it’s quite annoying to have a mixed list and have to alter levels for individual tracks manually, especially as there’s no good way to not play atmos versions when there are any. 

If Sonos produced a screen type interface that was dedicated to “what is playing” on my player. it would also be a master control. hang it on the wall like a control panel.  I like browsing album artwork and being able to see track names at a glance.  peace.   

Hi everyone,I’ve seen that in the iOS app you can access directly to the equalizer from the now playing screen.In Android app we don’t have this option, could you add this shorcut? I think is very useful and reduce a lot the time to modify equalizer settings.Thanks!

When watching TV, the single most useful button on any remote is the mute button.The Android app has mostly handy functionally in the icon tray for quick access: play/pause, skip, back, adjust volume (which takes you to quick access to be able to do so, or to mute).  But it would be great to just mute right there in the icon tray Especially so because there is space available for it... presently there are options to do two things that seem random to me:  turn speech enhancement on/off and turn night sounds on/off.  It seems to me you'd want the icon tray buttons to allow you to quickly do what you do most often, and I can't think of why either of those things meet that criteria, whereas mute absolutely does.My vote is to replace one of those buttons with mute... Long live mute! Long live mute!

Hi, having sonos app running in win 10 would be possible adjust volume level of the sonos app from windows volume settings in the task bar?In the same way as we are able on android phone to adjust volume with phone physical buttons. In this way i could be able to adjust line in volume on play 5 using a remote controller connected to my minipcthanksregardsRenato 

@Chicks, thank you for the port of your touchscreen controller to a view only HDMI code.  I’ve got your code installed on my Pi Zero W, auto login to shell, the Sonos.py script auto-running and edited to my named speaker group, and it connected to the HDMI on the big-screen.  Unfortunately, the Pi isn’t showing the artwork/music on screen, just the bash prompt after the linux boot menu.Can you direct me to what I am missing from the auto-run or the python or the output variable for the screen? Is there one more utility to be the front end?  Maybe my systmctrl of the Sonos app isn’t running?I needed to chmod your utility to executable, so that should be OK now…. Thoughts?

Is it possible to add  2 ( gen. 3 ) subs with a pair of play 5 using S2 software (same room) Thanks.

Hi, Can you send me the tracklist for your pindrop radio station for the 20/21 & 22 January please? 

So when I made a playlist on YouTube music I got all the other playlists and put it in one big one which I’d 1,500 songs for some reason on the YouTube music app it shows 1,500 but when I play it on Sonos it only shows 999 am I doing something wrong? 

It seems that i have wifi and internet in order to play music on my sonosIs it so?

I recently transfer my playlist from Spotify to apple music but it isn't working properly. should i use MUSCONV tool? anybody uses this before.

Some have been asking for another hardware based dedicated Sonos Controller; although Sonos appears not inclined to re-introduce such a device. As it would happen I was watching a YouTube video by Peter Pee wherein he reviewed two products by IKEA. They are the: TRADFRI Hub which is a wireless hub that connects to your home Wi-Fi and acts much in the same manner as a Philips Hue Bridge for smart lights SYMFONISK Music Controller that pairs with the TRADFRI Hub and works with Sonos for play/pause/forward/back/volume control for Sonos speaker(s).The two devices are sold separately or as a bundle. The bundled cost is $51.98 USD. Selling the TRADFRI Hub separately makes sense as it can be paired with other IKEA controllers with different use.There is an app for iOS or Android devices used for setup of the TRADFRI Hub and pairing of the SYMFONISK Controller. All setup components c

Hi all. What will the audio resolution be with my current setup via S2 app using ‘uncompressed’. Turntable hooked to Sonos Connect > Pair of Play 1’s > Playbar. Thanks in advance. 

A few have added bbc sounds, it is not showing as an option for me. I wonder if that is because I am in Australia?

I find the slider(s) very cumbersome to use.  A landscape mode would probably help.It’s really difficult to turn volume up/down just a little with the slider.Maybe add an alternate method, something like a number  with up/down controls, so could change volume in small increments.  Either an addition to current UI or maybe an option to use slider or other mechanism.  It would also be helpful to see the current volume level, so I can set it accordingly depending on what I’m listening to. 

All of my music is stored on a NAS.  Format is wav file.  Ripped using third party software or WMP.  I have a number of Playlists I’ve created using WMP.   When I open Sonos it sees all of my music under ‘Music Library’ but none of my playlists.  What can i do to make my playlists available?

Fairly new to Sonos, and just discovered that my family members must log in with my Sonos account in order to use our home system. Kinda reeling from the discovery. Means:I have to share my Sonos password with each family member who wants to use the system. Each personal Spotify and other service account gets listed in Sonos for everyone. … (more problems and inconveniences I can't come up with right now)I guess my main question is: REALLY, SONOS?Who else has run into this? What are workarounds? Who wants to cheer and vote for the feature request Support is logging for me to make multiple Sonos accounts possible on the same system?Edited to add: And it gets worse. To mitigate the impact of this issue, I've renamed my own Spotify service in the app to my own name. But in the music library, the service is still listed as 'Spotify’. So it's not even possible to visually distinguish our Spotify accounts.

Hey there  I’m having a symfonisk and a Sonos amp gen2.I’m really surprised how accurate the sound synchronization is working even in my home network. At least no hearable delay with human ears. Can someone tell me how accurate it is? I’m working sometimes with Dante in live-sound applications and they are guaranteeing below 1us time synchronization but it really needs dedicated switching hardware with qos settings because of PTP time syncing. Sonos doesn’t seem to make use of all that. did someone do some measurements ? 

I've assigned my Beam 2 to the room “Living room”. Now I've gotten myself a Port, which is also in the living room. But I can only assign it to “Living room 2", and that results in two separate rooms. I can still group them of course, but it doesn't make sense to me that I cannot assign multiple devices to the same room. It's the same with all devices: if I wanted to move one of our Sonos Ones to the living, it would be assigned to "Living room 3” now. Is this the expected behavior, and if so, what's the logic behind it?

Would Using ROON for Streaming Apple Lossess to Sonos allow for the mitigation of the lack of HiRes being processed on the Sonos systems?

Hi,Sonos controller on Android will not show the album title when playing?It only shows The artist name twice? See picture below:  This only happens when i play from my NAS disk, not from Spotify?And it also works on my windows desktopAnd it just happens here, was working fine earlier.The problem is on my OnePlus 7T Pro with Android 11 Sonos OS: S2Sonos app version: 13.4.1 Appreciate any help regarding this issue!! Edit: After a bit more research, I see that this only applies to FLAC files? 

For those of you who have evaluated various music services with Sonos, what are your recommendations?  I’m currently considering Apple Music, Qobuz, Deezer and Amazon.  My priorities are music quality (High Resolution), integration with Sonos as I plan on streaming via the Sonos app and lastly cost.  FWIW, I’ll be using a pair of One SLs configured as a stereo pair on my office desk. I’d be interested to hear your thoughts after evaluating some of these services with Sonos. Thanks. 

There’s something I don’t know I believe. Would someone answer me if they know? Using iOS 15.2 Had Sonos for years - no issues generally.Signed up for Spotify, haven’t used them since maybe 2008 before Sonos. SO, I keep Hardware Volume Control toggle off- it is greyed out, not black. I don’t like having to constantly to adjust volume between phone alerts and music.All works fine with all other services on Sonos- Pandora, Apple, Sonos etc. However when I play music from Spotify service, even though my Hardware Vol control is set to off, adjusting the volume using hardware buttons on the side of the phone changes the volume!Even though in the Sonos S1 app it is turned off. If I end the Spotify, and switch to Apple for example, all is well. Buttons do not change volume settings of music. What is up with Spotify- how does it hijack SONOS settings like that??  

my Windows 10 controller say “cannot connect to your  system” then I click on from the pull down menu to “connect to an existing system”  after about 2 minutes of circling, it says that “I am now connected to your system”  with a check mark.  When I click on “done”, it just goes back to the “cannot connect to you system page”  without showing the main screen. My system works fine from my android devices.  

Was just totally enjoying the chill of smooth jazz and an obnoxious holiday song came on.  When I tried to forward past I was notified that I had to sign up for Sonos HD.  So that's the choice, horrible holiday music long after the holidays are over?  No thanks
