Fix & Optimize

Hi everyone.I have made this below document on basis of my own experience. I found a solution for a lot of issues, like speakers for computers, TV speakers, and integration with wireless devices. Kindly have a look at this document and give me your thoughts.https://www.icloud.com/pages/0bedGi_eXiHO5ZflXrcD6HXJg All the best Sam.  

This might be useful for all brands using Google TV. It’s been a lifesaver for me.. I just changed from a Samsung TV to a new TCL - both have Bluetooth remotes, but the Samsung one rather smartly sends volume up and down over IR which allows you to control the Sonos from one remote.. Sadly the TCL remote in Bluetooth mode does not, furthermore the TCL remote in IR mode doesn’t work well with Sonos learning. I have the perfect solution! Using Homeassistant (which I run on a Raspberry Pi). A simple automation to look for state or volume changes from the TCL TV using the Android Remote integration and relaying the volume to the Sonos Playbar using the Sonos integration. Works like a charm! I hope that helps people out there with Google TVs, Bluetooth remotes and Playbars wanting to use just one remote seamlessly.

If you haven’t discovered this….Touching the screen with two fingers and rotating them reveals a “Slick” volume control as shown in the pics below. The second pic shows it working in “Group” mode!  

Could use a little help with this.  I’m about to purchase a new system (previous burned in Eaton Fire).  Our temporary home poses some unique challenges as it’s wide open making TV viewing surrounds difficult to place. I’m about to purchase an Arc Ultra and thinking of adding 300s but given location of seating (red arrows) I’m unsure of placements? behind camera is kitchen and dining room so wide open.  WFH desk is to the left. I use two One’s and a sub mini for music while at desk (positioned to either side of the glass doors).  I’m baffled as to setting up for TV viewing in this house. TIA 🤷🏻🤦‍♂️ 

I made a post about this about a month back when the pre-orders went live that my blue light discount was accepted but not applied and someone told me coupons were not normally added to pre-orders but I've tried it again these last couple of days now that the official release date has been reached and it seems there's still no discount to be had.... and as I've said previously I never had this issue before when purchasing the Arc Ultra ultimate set. Has anyone else managed to get a coupon to work?

Hi community,I used to be able to play my whole music library through SONOS - however, this is no longer working and I cannot reconnect to the library - I get various error messages. I have tried the connection methods suggested online but to no avail.  Any ideas? 

Hi there. The docs state that only gen 2 of the Symfonisk bookshelf will work with the new Beam Ultra. I have 2 of the gen 1s, and not gen 2. Does anyone know if this is a permanent situation? Will it filter down to gen 1? Otherwise I’ll need to replace my surrounds if I upgrade to the Beam Ultra. 

Desktop OS - Windows 8.1I am setting this up for someone else (so a different Sonos account to mine), 2any help is appreciatedSpotify connects fine within the app (Android and Apple)I have made sure the Sonos app and Spotify are pointing to the same region This is the error message

Why can't I use any usb with a power hard connected vs adapter   

Ho in cucina una coppia di Sonos One, di cui una SL, in configurazione stereo ed ottimizzata trueplay di cui sono molto soddisfatto. Da un poco di tempo il canale sinistro (One SL) aveva una fastidiosa distorsione sui picchi bassi. Ho effettuato il ripristino e la reistallazzione ma il disturbo non andava via. Premesso che la coppia è istallata sopra i pensili ed ha quindi accumulato molto sporco. Ho pulito il Sonos One SL è soffiato con forza varie volte con la bocca ha pressione mentre davo colpi con i palmi della mano e mentre riproduceva musica Deep Bass. Il disturbo è scomparso per un poco di tempo. Poi è tornato.Proverò a contattare l'assistenza ed eventualmente proverò ad aprirlo per pulirlo dentro la griglia e verificate il foam del foro posteriore.Aggiornero in futuro.Spero di essere di aiuto ad altri utenti.

Hi all,I'm having a strange issue with Spotify Connect and wondered if anyone has experienced the same problem.I have three separate rooms in the current Sonos app:• Family Room – Sonos Arc• Living Room – Beam Gen 2 + two Sonos SL as surrounds + Sub• Kitchen – standalone Sonos OneAll three rooms appear normally in the Sonos app and work correctly. Spotify is added as a music service in Sonos and I can play Spotify music to any of the three rooms from within the Sonos app.However, in the Spotify Android app, the Sonos rooms generally don't appear under Connect to a device.Today I started Spotify playback and Family Room ARC suddenly appeared in Spotify Connect and I could control it from Spotify.The Living Room and Kitchen still don't appear as separate Spotify Connect devices.As a test, I grouped the other two rooms with the Family Room in the Sonos app. Spotify immediately changed to show “Family Room ARC +2” and successfully controlled all three rooms.I then ungrouped them again. All

Just unboxed my new ACE Ultra. Already they are so much better than the OG ones and I have not even played anything on them yet as they are just updating in the App. They are much more comfy on my ears as I am a glasses wearer and the colour is just lovely. They have a more premium feel too. I will update more once I start to use them.Oh and the zip on the case is much improved!

Unfortunately, my Beam Ultra arrived today. I'm not able to unpack it or install it for a couple of days; mega frustrating!How are other new owners finding theirs? 

I want to use the era 100 as a speaker for my macbook. But the thing is that, my macbook only has USB-C. Is it an option?wireless connection is not very usefull

A while ago I created this post: This is still a problem. For several games, if not all games, the volume is not how it should be. In the game Metaphor, dialoge form the sides are much louder than from the center. In other games, certain sounds seem too loud. These problems are especially bad when using Dolby Atmos on PS5, but also a problem in Linear PCM, in some cases just as bad like with the Metaphor example. I have tried several combinations without luck. This is not an issue with the TV or PS5 because this is not an issue with the TV audio. I am using passthrough on the TV and device type soundbar on PS5, but tested multiple combinations. Do I have a faulty Arc Ultra? I’m only using the Arc Ultra with my LG C4 TV, no sub or other speakers. I find it odd I can’t find anyone else reporting this. Edit: I think the main problem is that the soundbar mixes up dialoge and music, so in Metaphor when characters are talking from the sides the volume is increased, but when it is from the ce

Hi all -I’m going a bit crazy trying to get this set up. I’ve got a turntable that runs through a Pro-Ject Tube Box S2 Amp to Kanto yu6 speakers. I’d like to set up so that I can either play purely through Sonos speakers via my Port, or through only the Kanto speakers. In order to do this I have a RCA splitter box that has one in, 2 out. My current setup is Amp → Splitter → Kanto (Option 1) OR Port (Option 2). On option 1, the Kanto Speakers work great. On Option 2 the Sonos speakers LOOK like they should be playing, but there’s no sound. I’ve checked the line in settings (set to AV component, volume limit off). When the Port is selected as Line in for speakers, I get the bouncing EQ bars that make it look like its playing, but even turned way up there is zero sound.I know the Port works because when I routed directly to the Port (no RCA splitter) the Sonos speakers worked just fine but in that setup I couldn’t get the Kanto speakers to work on their own.I’m several hours and attempted

I enjoy playing the music on my sound system but I don't know how to disconnect.   I can pause. But don't see an X to cancel

Good evening,So I own 4 Sonos speakers, 2x era 100, 1x era 100 sl and 1x Sonos one. I use them in separate rooms and stream music from Spotify via airplay.I was considering an upgrade and buying the Sonos beam and mini sub, and using the 2x era 100 for a surround sound setup.My question is, can I still use all 4 of my speakers to AirPlay Spotify, including the Sonos beam and mini sub, even though they are in a surround sound setup and connected to a tv?I want it all to work for both everyday casual music streaming via airplay and also to work with the tv to watch movies with surround sound, is that possible?Thank you all. 

I’ve been a Sonos user since 2010. sometime around Covid, it’s been well publicized they have developed terrible software problems. I have spent countless hours on the phone. I have read reports of promises to resolve and of a new software rollout (Sonos 27) I’ve upgraded from 1 to 2 I’ve replaced old equipment, I’ve gone to a mesh router system, I’ve hardwired speakers and nothing, I mean nothing has solved the issues. What is going on with this company? Their tech was so solid and now it’s complete trash and they cannot fix it

The day has finally come!Imagine my elation when I noticed that the official sonos widget was back, and then despair when after adding it, it just says “not available” underneath the room name.Is this a known issue?I have been using a third party widget without much trouble in the meantime.Also I notice in the default 4x1 size format, it appears to have just three buttons (back/play/skip).We will be needing a volume button too! (like the old widget!)

I recently got the new 2026 portable PLAY speaker and I am regularly having issues with Alexa stopping working.  I can see it is still set up in the SONOS app, the mic is definitely on but there is no voice control. I am also still able to run the speaker through the SONOS app. It seems to happen when the speaker has been powered down and back on.  The only fix I can see is to uninstall it and reinstall each time this happens (and this is not acceptable)  Other important info.. I also have purchased a second PLAY portable and have set them up to use as surround speakers (this is a new feature just released) and this also seems to throw off the Alexa function some times. 

I’ve tried reconnecting Apple Music to the app several times, but I keep getting the same "Something went wrong. Please try again" error. I’ve already uninstalled the app, removed the previous authorization, reinstalled it, and started over from scratch, yet the error persists. What else can I try?

My wma files, are no longer playing any sound.I have check the bit rate and Khz of my files 192kbps and 44.1KHz, which conform to Sonos guidelines but still wont play.I think this has happened since the last update.Is any one else having this problem again, I know it was any issue a while back.  

Hi,I have BenQ 2150HT. I have ArcanaFury.I would like to connect that to Arc Ultra. I have tried all the advice on the Internet I could find. Am I doing something wrong or is this projector not compatible?ThanksK
