Hello, I’m planning to install 2 Sonos era 100 speakers on wall mounts (fairly high up) and 2 new uk 3 pin power socket for each speaker. Has anyone done this before, and if so where’s the best place to locate the socket in relation the the  bracket/speaker to make the sockets inconspicuous? Ideally the socket would be hidden behind the speaker.Any pictures would be really appreciated.Thank you 

Hello, I'm a BIM certified architect and I also have experienced as an AV engineer. I have noticed that a lot of designers use your products but you don't really have any Revit or CAD models for them and that makes it hard for designer to integrate them and coordinate. I think it would be very beneficial for your company and sales to offer this service for your products and I can help you with that.

Hi hoping someone can help. I recently bought the sonos era 300 bundle which contained 2 Sonos era 300. I ordered the wrong colour so I initiated a return as it was too late to cancel the order.I received 2 e-mails from Sonos. The 1st e-mail showing on how to return the items and stated on 1st e-mail to expect a 2nd e-mail with one shipping label, which I received. Sonos delivered 2 boxes, each box containing 1 era 300 so I printed 2 copies of the shipping label and attached it to each box and returned through UPS. I contacted Sonos live chat to explain I only received 1 shipping label and they advised that it would be fine to attached the same label to both boxes as it was part of the same order. Sonos Poland confirmed they received 1 of 2 eras but not the other one and there is no way to track it.Sonos have told me I will only be refunded for 1 Sonos era 300 that they have received and unless it is returned I won’t get a full refund. I’m at my wits end here. Sonos should have deliver

Requesting the Sonos Mac app be added to the Apple Mac App Store. I’m aware the Mac app can be download directly, but requesting it be added to the App Store as well.It would be much easier to keep up with the frequent updates if users could delegate that to the App Store instead of having to manually apply them.This would also likely decrease inbound customer support tickets, as more users would have an up-to-date version. There are also a lot of unsupported 3rd party Sonos apps on the App Store which are likely also creating support tickets. And I suspect many users don’t even know about the Mac app.You’ve got frequent deployments, why not make it easy to take advantage of them?

The app is not intuitive or user friendly.  The kit is expensive and should be supported by a better application. 

I had Gen1 and Gen 2.  Got MOVE2 as a gift.  My son set up gold Sonos app w his email.   Now those two new MOVE2 are not showing up in my overall system.  how to correct?

Sonos is terrible.It is proprietary.It is slow to connect.It requires constant updates.It requires constant permissions.It is slow to respond.It is expensive and not worth the headaches.App is not intuitive.ound quality is mediocre.Sonos Roam was beyond the worst product ever!Community help is full of paid pit bulls who advocate blindly for this garbage system.I would like to sell it to some sucker but as I have more of a conscience than Sonos I would feel guilty.Fix your junk product or get out of the business!Sonos is garbage.Signed,Suckered Chap who purchased this Crap. 

Sonos - I've seen the posts from a couple of year ago have sonos really still not patched the products to adapt to a new wifi router? I cant connect sub and ones to my new network.... any ideas folks? 

Sonos Move 2. When using Spotify free streaming service audio abruptly stops. When I press play it will start to stream playlist again only to stop again after a few songs . This DOES NOT appear to happen on all streaming services.   Any ideas ?     appear to happen on all str services 

I get my full fibre broadband via a router supplied by my provider Utility Warehouse. When connecting to my playbar (which is connected via wifi and not ethernet) via my phone, after around 10 minutes the connection is lost and all devices on the network also lose connectivity. Connectivity can only be restored by restarting the router. I spoke to Sonos support who advised that basically the spec of the router is poor and the only way to resolve the issue is to upgrade the spec of my router or use ethernet.Ethernet is not an option and having spoken to UW they say their router should be fine. UW did say they could supply me with an Amazon Eero 6 Amazon eero Pro 6E — Wi-Fi 6E Router which effectively ups the spec (for an additonal £5pm).so my question isshould i just get an ethernet connection?go with the Eero 6?, orother?TIA

When using the Sonos app with more than one user account in Spotify (Family Plan), there’s no way to tell what recently played playlist is part of which member’s account.The biggest issue we’ve been experiencing is the classic, one person is playing their music outside the home, but then someone at home plays a playlist from the recently played, and it cuts the other person off. Then a bit of back and forth stealing playing rights before figuring out what is going on. It would be great to add the Spotify user avatar or initials in a small bubble over the album/playlist art in any area of the UI where music sources from multiple accounts are displayed (ie - Recently Played, Albums, or Playlists).  

With the 16.0 update indicating a major update to the system, the release notes don’t really say anything. Come on Sonos do better!  Does anyone have any insight?—————In this update:Bug fixes and performance enhancements. System requirements changes:The Sonos app will no longer receive updates on the following operating systems. The app can still be used to control commonly-used features. iOS 14 and 15 iPadOS 14 and 15  System requirementsAndroid 8.0 or later iOS 16 or later iPadOS 16 or later macOS 10.12 or later Windows 8 or later Fire OS 7 and higher  

We purchased Sonos Five back in October 2023.  We realized that it will not be compatible with our systems at home.  So we started the return process end of Nov 2023.  It took Sonos more than a month and several phone calls to customer service to send us the return label!  Finally we received the return label in mid January 2024 and we shipped the unit back.  Sonos received our package Jan 22nd.  And since then we have been calling every few days to ask for our refund/credit.  Its now February 13th - they keep promising refund credit will be sent by email soon.  The delay is due to technical issues in their system since January!!!  This is unbelievable behavior from a company like Sonos and so frustrating!!!I had requested a call back from their Supervisor - but still no response! Wish I had not made the purchase from Sonos!  My question is when can I get my refund credit?!I had seen Cory (Sonos staff) trying to help/answer a similar question posted by another customer.  Hoping he can

How do I get a return label after receiving the RO number two weeks ago indicating the label would arrive in a separate email. I have chatted, spoke with support on the phone several times. No one can tell me what the issue is and it is frustrating as I get told it will be taken care of but no one can say when. Last week I was told I would get it in maybe 2 hours. That did not happen. I have a case number if needed. 

Woke up today, Sonos app completely reset, no favorites, no music subscriptions; will not let me add services to rebuild the account, error message: “Sorry this feature is unavailable at this time”. Signed out and signed back into the account, nothing worked. Anyone else experience this?

As you can see…true play option is greyed out because I don’t want to do these updates and happy with the sound as it is.…spend a fortune on these speakers and you’re at their beg and call to do these ridiculous generic non descriptive updates. If you don’t you get penalized ….i have to agree with others that Sonos is starting to suck…. 

Literally STILL annoyed that Sonos hasn’t found a way, nor given a valid explanation as to why they cannot remove products from our online account. Somehow, the old sonos are still logged into my spotify and because I use spotify with my new sonos products, other people are using my Spotify account through their speaker system. Spotify nor Sonos want to take responsibility and it’s been pissing me off FOR YEARS. (Yes, I’ve LOGGED OUT everywhere, yes, I’ve changed my password, etc.) It seems like Sonos is just being lazy about a functionality.

My sonos 1 suddenly stopped working & won't reconnect. Any ideas? I have gone through all steps on set up and nothing works

Trying to by a Ray with the black friday sale, based in Ireland (so EU) have some money on my paypal account i’d like to use but Paypal is not coming up as option, is it not accepted anymore?  

I have recently made an incredible playlist for Valentine's Day, and I want to share it with my friends who also have the system in their homes. It would be fantastic if we could share and spread the love of music. I have playlists for every holiday. I love the option of making them. I want to share them with someone in the Sonos community. Why can't I?

Ok, so say you use an adblocker that happens to also block spotify ads. I’m wondering if, when playing sonos (roam) from your computer inwhich you have the adblocker installed, will it still have the error of randomly pausing when an ad is meant to play, or will the adblocker resolve this?ive noticed a lot of people having issues with spotify and i want to know if this will happen to me too.edit: for anyone else who mightve been wondering, i just tried it after finally getting my speaker set up and. well. yeah, the adblock doesnt work. it stops randomly and then plays the ad when you pause then unpause. honestly, thanking god i got this thing as a gift and didnt spend any money on it because the general consensus, which i am starting to lean toward, is that sonos products are garbage.

About 2 months ago one of my Sonos speakers started acting erratically, disconnecting frequently, stopping after one song, throwing error messages, etc. The usual solutions did not work, or worked only briefly. Finally, a call to Sonos revealed that the speaker was trying to connect to a wifi network from a previous address about 5 years ago. Why this didn't cause problems until recently, I have no idea, but deleting this network from the list solved the problem instantly.I'm posting this in the event it helps someone, as I've not seen it explicitly raised elsewhere.

Hello,I have a question about my current setup. Everything works smoothly, but I'm curious about its efficiency and best practices.My system includes an Amp, a Play:1, and a Play:3. For my wi-fi, I have two mesh nodes: a primary router and a satellite. The Amp is connected via ethernet to the router, while the Play:1 is wired to the satellite. The Play:3, however, isn't wired to any device. As of now the Sonos system uses SonosNet.Is this configuration optimal? Should I continue using SonosNet or configure the Sonos devices to connect through the standard network. Additionally, if keep using SonosNet, does it make a difference if the Play:1 is wired to the wi-fi mesh node or not?Thank you for your guidance.About My System:Play:1Sonos OS: S2Version: 15.11 (build 76247270)Hardware Version: 1.20.1.6-2.1Series ID: A200IP Adress: 10.0.8.22WM: 0---------------------------------Play:3Sonos OS: S2Version: 15.11 (build 76247270)Hardware Version: 1.8.1.3-2.1Series ID: A100IP Adress: 10.0.8.23WM:
