Fix & Optimize

I am looking to have the same music playing through the wifi network to numerous analog stereos in my house.  I have two stereos on either side of a large room so I am hoping there won’t be any delay.  I have another analog stereo in the garage and would put another elsewhere.  I prefer my analog powered stereos.  I am thinking of getting the Port, but I’m not going to buy 5 ports obviously.  The older Connects used are pretty affordable.  I was thinking of getting a port as my master and then just buying some used Connects.  Does that make sense?  I’m not interested in the speakers.  Does Port have passive units for other rooms/stereos just with rca outs?  Would the Connects work fine with the Port for this application?

What was something that happened a couple times in the past is now more serious. I live in a quiet neighborhood. There have been a few times in the past where I noticed that music was on outside and I just simply turned it off. I have a Sonos Amp connected to 6 outdoor Sonance speakers and a large sub as our ‘Backyard Sonos’. The volume was low, and it’s possible it was playing for days. I just hadn’t been in the backyard to hear it.There have also been a couple times when we noticed super loud beeping coming from the outside Sonos system. We noticed the backyard zone volume was set to 100%, but no music was set on that zone. I had to unplug it to reset it, because if I just moved the volume down it would just go back up. Again, this happened twice around 11 PM. It’s just my wife and I - we were in bed. There are no alarms set and no integration with stuff like Alexa or Google Home.It’s now almost 4:30 AM while I am writing this. I just woke up to my backyard Sonos blasting ‘Milky Chan

Hi everyone,I’m repairing a Sonos Arc power supply board and could use help identifying one damaged SMD component.So far I have: Replaced the main IC (marked 1342BHDGD) Replaced the resistor in the yellow box – that one was readable at 24.9 Ω and had a burn mark. However, the component marked in red is physically cracked and has no visible markings. In-circuit it measured around 2.09 kΩ, Out of circuit it measures open (OL), so it’s definitely failed. I’ve attached: A close-up photo with the damaged part highlighted in red A wider photo showing its exact location on the board If anyone has: A schematic A known good board to measure Or experience repairing this Arc PSU I’d really appreciate knowing:• The correct value and type (resistor? bead?)• Package size• Any recommended replacement part numbersThanks in advance for any help!   

Hey, is anyone experiencing dropouts with E-arc?? Also, when it’s not dropping out, I’m only getting Dolby digital PCM 2.0 or 5.1. Dolby Atmos is not working. has anyone else experienced this since the last update?

Anybody have experience connecting a Samsung TV to the Sonos Arc via ARC port from the TV to the soundbar.On the amsung TV there is meant to be a setting in the HDMI audio out to set it to passthrough to allow the audio source (Sky box) to be routed through the TV without processing straight to the soundbar.This setting is just not there.Ive rebooted everything to initiate the handshake from the TV to the soundbar but no luck.Anyone else seen this ?

I have a Sonos Ray connected to my tv.  When I switch from music with Sonos to the tv, I cannot control the sound with the tv controller.  I would like to remove the Ray from my Sonos system.  How to do that?

The Sonos app is not allowing me to enter any information under Line-in, Sources.  It says that Move 2 is “Not Connected” yet I have the iPod on and playing the 3.5mm jack into the DAC female to USB-C converter in place (purchased from the Sonos supplier as a compatible cable - a Baseus Type C Male to 3.5mm Female with built in DAC).The volume is up full on the iPod.I also tried it plugged into my laptop headphone output and it didn’t see that one either.Is there any way to configure the port without it seeing the connection so that I can play with the source level as some articles seem to indicate that this may be the issue?

I have several trhousand tracks which I converted from .wma to .flac, using the NCH Switch Sound File Converter app on Windows 11. The converted files appear to be playing on Sonos, but there is no sound.All ther files are within Sonos limits (44,100khz and 16-bit), and play perfectly well on my phone apps (Rocket Player and Pulsar), so are not corrupted.I have found that if I open one of the files in Audacity, then simpley export it back again, the file plays in Sonos.I have contacted the Sonos aupport team, and sent them a diagnostic while one of the tracks is playing, and they confirm multiple errors, so it appears that it is something to do with the Codec and how Sonos is interpreting it.I do not want to have to manually read and export every file via Audacity, so any suggestions using other software where I can perform a batch reconversion would be appreciated.

Sonos “Play” goes to sleep when not being used to conserve the battery. Is there any method remotely awakening it rather than having to push the “on” button the the speaker?

I raised a ticket more than a month ago and at first Sonos tried to fix the issue - now I am stuck with no apple music library, SONOS ignoring emails and then telling me engineers are working on it - in the meantime apple keeps updating and SONOS do nothing to fix this issue - surely I am not alone??? I cannot access my music library at all 

I have a wireless Play:1, a wifi router with a SIM connection, a wired raspberry pi (wired to the router), several wirelessly connecting laptops and several also wirelessly connected phones.The raspberry pi contains an mp3 library and the Sonos app on a phone correctly sees this library and also soundcloud and spotify is connected correctly to the Sonos app.The problem is that through the Sonos app if I play soundcloud or spotify all songs stop after 10-15 seconds and keep skipping.It’s not a bandwidth or speed or connection issue for sure because:From the same phone I can play the mp3 library on the raspberry pi which also connects to the Sonos Play:1 through the wifi router. So between the wifi router and the Play:1 the wireless connection is okay. On all laptops and phones, which are connected wirelessly to the wifi router we can stream netflix or any other streaming service. So the connection between the wifi router and the internet is also okay. On the laptops, using the web inter

Ever since I saw the strap on the back of the Play, I thought it would be convenient to be able to hang the Play from a hook.  If you’re commonly using the Play in your backyard, or anywhere really that’s not it’s charging home, and don’t want place on a surface, a hook is a good option.The main problem with this is that the strap is 90% degrees the wrong direction.  Using that with typical hook is going to have the Play facing the wrong direction, or if against a wall, twist the strap in a way that puts unnecessary strain.   Adding a carabiner, or something similar, between the Paly and Hook would fix this issue.  However, all the carabiner’s I’ve seen have a curved surface.  Maybe not an issue, but that would likely mean the strap doesn’t lay evenly in the carabiner, and puts more strain on the edges of the Play strap rather than evenly across the entire strap. Perhaps not an issue, and the strap won’t eventually tear, however, I’m wondering if there is a better device out that can b

Hi everyone, I recently tried using my Sonos setup (Beam + two One SLs) as the main audio output while gaming on my console. The sound quality is great, but I’m noticing a slight delay between the on-screen action and the audio, especially in fast-paced games.I’m currently connected via HDMI ARC, and I’ve checked basic settings, but the lag is still noticeable. Is this a common limitation when using Sonos for gaming, or are there specific settings that can help reduce the delay? Would really appreciate any advice or setup tips.

I recently upgraded my router, but now connection to speakers other than Move 2 falls off about every 24 hours. I have to unplug and re plug to get them working again

 When I load an Amazon Music Unlimited playlist I created that has 498 tracks, why are a different amount of tracks loaded when using two different apps?  When I use Sonos S2, 400 of 498 tracks are loaded.  When I use SonoPhone all 498 tracks are loaded. If I load the 498 track playlist using SonoPhone the queue on Sonos S2 shows all 498 tracks.  Weird!

I just got a new router from Orange; a Livebox7. I have configured a 2.4GHz band. But failed to connect 3 One SL speakers. I can see the speakers in my router connected to the WiFi, but the Sonos app does not see the speakers and I Conan not finalize the set up.  Sonos customer care was not able to help, after endless resets, etc. Is there someone who can explain how to change the settings on my router to make this work?

I have the arc and have the 2 ones and have 2 fives Is there a way to connect all 5 together to make a surround system all together?

Recently i upgraded my soundbar form a cheap generic to a beam 2 to use with my existing Era 300’s as surrounds.Initial set up seemed to go ok enjoyed a week of decent sound from my TV.Yesterday, my TV suddenly reset and I lost sound. When it started to work again, SONOS defaulted to playing music form spotify rather then the TV output. The only way i can get TV as default is to remove the surrounds from the set up (making them a different system). I now have only the beam connected to the TV, this isn’t ideal as i brought this to work alongside the Era 300’s.Sorry if this is rambling.SystemAmazon Fire series 4 TVSKY QBeam 2Era 300(pair)

Every few weeks my Sonos move needs a factory reset for it to work. It’s very annoying having to wait to reset it every time I want to use it. It stays on the charger when I’m not using it

Can I turn off the voice enabled feature?
