Fix & Optimize

I have a Sonos system with 4 Play:1 speakers, a Sonos Sub, and a Playbar.I recently bought another Playbar but I'm having trouble connecting it to my existing system. I have no prior experience setting up Sonos and need help figuring out how to do this.

I’m asking for help with a karaoke setup connected with HDMI to my TV that has a playbar, sub and two play 300’s.  Will it output though the Sonos system or just the lyrics on screen?  I do not use an amp.

Question about the SONOS Ace headphones. I currently have 3 SONOS devices, and the app on iPhone, iPad and MacOS. All good. Do the headphones appear as another selectable device in the app? Put another way, if I want to listen to music from any of me sources via the app, can I simply de-select the other SONOS devices, have only the headphones selected, and play my tunes just like I do today?Sorry for the naive’ question, but it’s not clear from the documentation if the headphones work as any other SONOS device and playing music to the headphones is no different than my Move2 or Play5. Thanks

I have an odd issue - I have a Sony Bravia 3 (purchased this year) and Sonos Arc Ultra (also purchased this year) - and the ARC connection needs to be “switched” over on the ARC everytime on turn the TV on - i need to go to TV settings - set it back to TV Spekers and the oVer to Audio System - firmware is updated on all - any thoughts??

I have Era 100 speakers installed in my home. I also have a turntable with its built-in simple amplifier. I want to know what equipment I should purchase so the turntable can play through my Era 100 speakers, and I also want to listen to my TV through the same speakers. I understand I should buy an amplifier and a sound bar, and I could achieve what I want, but I'd like to be sure.

I have a network with 3 devices. Sonos 5, Play3 and Move 2.My summer house is just out of range of wifi so I bought the Move 2 to try to act as a repeater for my wifi after being told it can setup a Sonosnet that is dedicated to Sonos network.I have hard wired my Sonos 5 which is very close to the router.But my Move 2 does seem to be connected to the SonosNet.I can check my status using:http://192.168.0.27:1400/support/review My Sonos 5 shows its in Sonosnet mode:WifiMode 0 WifiModeString SONOSNET_MODE IdleState 0x00000000 BusyClients AUDIO_OUT, LOCAL_SONOSNET, NO_PRIMARY  But my Move 2 shows:Wireless Info WifiMode 1 WifiModeString STATION_MODE IdleState 0x00000000 BusyClients AUDIO_OUT, NO_SONOSNET_PEERS, NO_PRIMARY  Its not unlikely the router is the stronger connection between this and my Sonos 5 as they are pretty much in the same place.Is there a way I can force my Move 2 onto the SonosNet so it can bridge between my Sonos 5 and the out of reach Play 3.  

I bought a Panasonic TV about a month ago and connected a Beam Gen 2 and surrounds via HDMI to the eArc.  Everything worked great except no sound from the Blu Ray player, which I still haven’t figured out.  Last night the soundbar disconnected from the TV and I can’t get it to reconnect.  I tried restarting both the TV and soundbar and ultimately factory reset both.  It still won’t connect.  When I try to add a soundbar on the TV it says there is an unsupported audio device connected to HDMI 2 (eArc connection).  When I “connect to TV” in the Sonos app, it says connecting but just gets stuck.  It has worked great for the past month.  Any ideas?  

Yes, my living room system consists of the following below.Living Room….Playbase, two play 3’s and two SubsThis is the only room where the speakers drop out and then will reconnect several seconds later. It may all speakers or just the Playbase or the two 3’s. They have been doing this for sometime now. Thank you,Gary

sonos Android app 80.23.9sonos OS 85-0-65270Android 14 Kernal 5.10.218There is a repeatable bug in the android app where it can delete the wrong entries when you are editing a playlist. I have a playlist with 10 or so albums, open the playlist to edit delete two entries at the beginning then scroll down and delete, lets call it the 40th entry  press done Review the result and you will find that entries 1 and 2 have gone BUT entry 40 is still present and entry 42 has been deleted instead. I repeated this test 5 times and it happened every time What changes things is if you hit DONE on EVERY screen you have deleted something and you don’t scroll down to edit other entries first then it appears to delete the correct entries.  Such mistakes are easy to miss unless you are very careful in reviewing your changes and you are looking out for it which is why I suspect so few have reported a problem. (BTW I noticed this behaviour in prior versions of the APP and reported it)   The IPAD OS versio

Min symfonisk tappar nätverkt från google nest pro.Jag måste reset varje gång jag ska använda den?Har kollat att jag ligger på 2,4 ghz på mobilen men sonos appen säger att det inte finns nått system. Nån som har några idéer?

In our family room I have an Arc Ultra. 2 x 300s, and a gen2 Sub. Originally it was an Arc and the Sub was great. Since updating to the Arc Ultra the Sub is really not doing much. I have read this should have been fixed but I have ran all updates and can confirm this has not been resolved. I imagine this has to do with a crossover the Arc Ultra is managing what low frequencies to send to the Sub. If feels like the Sub isn’t getting it’s part of the mix. I can gain up the sub +10 in the app and it is almost unnoticeable. 

i have googled and read online that you can access saved room groups through play.sonos.com.  i have gone to rooms section; selected a room and save groups aren’t there.  So, if you can how can you? if you can’t then why does material say you can

Hey folks,Simple question. I have two Sonos Ones and one Sonos One SL, and one Play:1 in my house.  I have the Ones set up with Alexa. I have them grouped together in Sonos and in the Alexa app (under the group name “All Speakers”), and all I want is to control the volume of the entire group with a voice command instead of doing them all one by one.  If I say “Alexa Volume 3” it just changes the volume of the speaker I’m talking to only, and if I say “Alexa All speakers volume 3” it just changes only the volume of whichever speaker is on the top of the order in the Sonos app, leaving all the other ones unchanged in both scenarios.  This is driving me nuts. I factory reset all my speakers, reconnected them to my system, reconnected it all to Alexa, set up all the groups, and no change in behavior.  I tried using this new handy Zones feature but my play:1 is too old to be zoned. I am at an impasse. Thinking of just getting rid of my whole system and buying Alexa Studios just so I can cha

Any song which part of an iTunes/Apple Music compilation then indexed in Sonos, Music Library/Imported Playlists will not play on either my Windows 11 pc, any of my ios devices, or Sonos speakers. These tracks play fine in the Apple Music app on pc and ios devices. Songs in Sonos imported playlists that are not in Compilations play fine on all devices. Please advise. Thank you.  

I have some first gen Sonos - play:1 and 3, playbar, sub, and an SL. They were all working well together for years, using the Sonos app on my iPhone, iPad and Mac. but recently it’s been glitchy and today suddenly it decides not to work. Only the SL could be set up and is found on the app. What can I do? Has Sonos decided not to support first gen speakers? Thanks. 

Hey Sonos community! 👋 I’ve been troubleshooting an issue with my Sonos Arc setup (paired with Sub+Era 300s) where robot vacuums trigger audio glitches during cleaning cycles. The high-frequency whine (~75dB) seems to interfere with voice assistant responsiveness and occasionally cuts Atmos playback.I’ve tested this with two premium vacuums:When docked: No issuesDuring cleaning: ~30% drop in Alexa recognition accuracy + brief audio dropsNoticed a Lonyu robot model claiming "ultra-quiet motors optimized for smart homes" (specs here), but hesitant to switch hardware without validation.Question:Anyone else experience this electromagnetic interference?Did repositioning/calibration solve it?If you’ve tested vacuums below 60dB – did it eliminate disruptions?Appreciate any insights before I reconfigure my entire living room!

Just done a factory reset on Sonos 1 and I’m presuming I cannot get my old music back??  thanks 

I’m trying to connect my four-year old echo dot to my Sonos speakers and am having a lot of trouble. Would it help to buy a newer echo dot?

Enhance Your Sonos Home Theater: More Era 300s for Even Deeper Surround Sound!Hey Sonos enthusiasts!Like many of you, I absolutely love my Sonos home theater setup with the Arc, Sub, and the two Era 300s as surrounds. It sounds fantastic, but there's always room to push the boundaries, right?My idea is simple: We need the option to add more than just two Era 300s to our home theater setup!Imagine this: instead of only two rear surrounds, we could have four (or even more!) Era 300s for a truly mind-blowing Dolby Atmos experience. Think about having dedicated side and rear channels, creating a much more complete and enveloping sound bubble for movies and shows.Why This Is a Win-Win Idea: * For us, the users: This would mean unprecedented cinematic immersion. The sound would truly wrap around you, pulling you deeper into the action. * For Sonos: A massive boost in Era 300 sales! Many of us would be thrilled to buy an additional pair if this were possible. More units sold without needing t

Can I add another speaker to my system, I have 1 Arc 2 Era 300 and 2 Sub 4s.

I have an Arc and subwoofer and use Era 300 as rear / surround speakers for my home theater. I am building a new home and the ceiling height in the Great room where these will be located is 12 ft. I plan to place the speakers high up so I can hide the electric outlets in the ceiling behind the speakers. My question is regarding the height for best sound in this room. Is 11 ft high acceptable? 

I have a Unifi UDM and three access points.  My network consists of two segments.The normal network is named “Trusted”, which hosts personal secure devices, and another network named IoT which is firewall-prevented from accessing my main “Trusted” network.  All devices with limited, poor,  or no security are configured to use IoT.  It is essential that my Sonos Move 2 be put on the IoT network, but Sonos won't let that happen.  Sonos devices MUST be on the same network as the devices that interact with it, eg my iPhone and iPad, which are on my main network.My rules are that as Sonos devices are untrusted, they must NOT be on the Trusted network Temporarily my Move 2 is on my main network, until I figure out how to isolate it.   I’d be grateful if someone can help 

Still missing the functionality of the widget after the app update awhile back. Is this ever coming back to the app? It was great to have an entire page on my phone to manage my music throughout my entire home at a glance.
