Allow more than one speaker per room group

I have a Sonos One stereo pair and a Quake sub which is fed via a Sonos Connect - they live in my living room and, after tweaking, the Sub does a great job of adding some bottom end without spoiling the stero paired Ones sound. Grouping does work, but it's repeatedly broken by updates, which is a pain that Sonos apparently can't or won't fix.

If I had a Sonos Sub augmenting my Ones, would I still have to go through the same hassle?

Sonos Rooms are stupid IMO, when only single items can live in any one of them (with the exception of stereo pairs).

You can add a Sub to a paired set of speakers and they are 1 homogenous group that is permanent.

As to your comment that not being able to create rooms with more more than 2 speakers (apart from Sub as above) I refer you to jgatie's comments above

I'd like to add my voice to those requesting the ability to add non-matching speakers to a room as a non-stereo pair/trio/quartet/etc.

Guess what! I have non-matching speakers in the same room in real life. Please let me reflect that in the Sonos configuration so I don't have to keep jumping through hoops. I really don't care if it might offend some audiophile's sensibilities. It sounds great to me and I'm tired of re-grouping my stuff. I paid a premium for this system. Don't force me to artificially group two "rooms" when the speakers are in the same dang room.

This is such a stupid argument. Talk about pedantic.

Same here! Have a Play One and now, because the sound was quite insignificant in my reasonable sized exercise room, purchased a Sonos One! I cannot group the two (effectively) same size speakers into the same room! Ridiculous!!

'Room' as a label for particular configurations of speakers is fundamental to the system's design. Just give them different names and group them if you want them to play together. It is your comment that is ridiculous.

'The nature of a Sonos 'room'?! Yes, a very particular configuration of speakers!
The Play 1 and Sonos One are virtually identical other than the Alexa element. You are limited to control them only through the app and not through voice control as I do.

This is so disappointing you cannot do this. I have two Sonos Ones in my living room - one at one end and the other at the other end. I do not want a stereo pair. It makes no sense. But I want them to be both in my "living room".

Setting them up as different rooms and then grouping them does not work as my Pandora app only sees one room at a time and also my groups mysteriously become ungrouped every couple of days all by themselves.

Sorry, I don't have Pandora to test this, but I think that if you group the two rooms together in the Sonos app, and then play using the Pandora app to the one room, the second, grouped room should play at the same time.

Ah, I didn't address your second paragraph. Ungrouping of rooms is an indication that you've got some issues in your local wifi, and your speakers are dropping off, and then (hopefully) reconnecting. I think the first thing I'd try is a simple reboot of your speakers and router, and see if that helps.

A Sonos One is NOT a Play:1 with Alexa added.
