ceiling speakers through my tv

Hi there, I’ve got a Sonos arc, sub, amp and 6 ceiling speakers as my Sonos set up. The arc and sub are connected via hdmi to my tv.  The 6 Sonos ceiling speakers are connected in the same wifi network. When I play music via Amazon music or spotify I can get the music to play from the tv (arc and sub) and through the ceiling speakers that I group as kitchen.  What I can’t seem to work out is how I get the sound from them all when I’m watching the tv. When I watch tv it only comes through the arc and sub and nothing through the ceiling speakers. Is there a connection that I should be making when playing sound through my tv to get it through the ceiling speakers as well? Thanks.

Alarms

2 things:1. When alarm sounds in morning, My phone screen used to come on with option to turn it off or snooze. Since the May update, it doesn't do this anymore. Is this coming back sometime??2. Alarm music selection used to allow to search our music subscriptions (e.g. YouTube music) and choose music to play... Now it only gives options for sonos radio or sonos favourites... Why??

Sonos Roam powering off while on its charging base

Hi all,Having a weird issue with my Sonos Roam.Its on its charging base but seems to power down after a while.If i remove from the base and direct charge from a cable it works fine. And stays on and doesnt power down.But if i put it back on the stand it turns off after a while.It doesnt seem to be a battery drain issue as it has battery when i turn the roam back on with no power source. Ive tried plugging the wireless charging stand to different plugs and usb a plugs. But same result.Has anyone experienced this?Has my roam charging stand gone faulty in a weird way. Any advice

prerecorded equalization

There is a lack of pre-recorded equalizations where you can choose which one best suits each user. It should be easier to find it.

Sonos Move Bluetooth Connection Issues

We often use our move as a bluetooth speaker.When we want to pair it, it is often not detected by the device we want to pair it with.If it is on, it randomly wants to connect/ pair, and if something else is playing on another bluetooth speaker, it switches to the move without us wanting to.What is the issue here? What can I do to fix the issue?Thanks a lot!

Ethernet attached Connect Gen2 & Era 100s won't stay in sync. General syncing issues w/ Sonos.

Hello,Ex sound engineer here who is desperately trying to get a Sonos configuration to work and stay in sync. I am very sensitive to things being out of sync, especially after working in mastering. I have an ASUS 11000xt Pro router connected to a 10gbe switch which is connected to a 2.5gbe switch that has all Sonos equipment attached to it. All components are connected through Ethernet (cat6). Initially I used airplay 2 to stream to each speaker individually through iTunes on Windows 11 Pro. I used to have the Ones and they seemed to say in sync reasonably well to my Sonos enabled receiver, the Onkyo TX-RZ50. I remember some issues, but nothing like what happened when I decided to upgrade to the Era 100s. These speakers always stay in sync with each other but would often get out of sync with the receiver when on WiFi. So I connected them all to the same switch using Ethernet after buying the USB-c accessory for the Era 100s. They still would get out of sync.So I decided to see if I usi

sonos beam & eARC

I have a SONOS BEAM Gen 1 (I think) and recently brought a new TV. Now I can’t get the beam to connect to the new TV. New TV supports HDMI eARC rather than ARC, but everything Iv read online says that shouldn’t matter. No option to optical connect either. Any ideas or suggestions would be great thank you.

Connecting to updated wifi on new app - FACTORY RESET??

I have switched network provider and have a new wifi that I need to move my system (Playbase, One SL x 2, Roam) across.The instructions originally told me to follow the app’s guidance to ‘Update Network’, except this was not offered as an option in the new app. I now see the support page (here) has been updated to say that my products are not supported and they require a FACTORY RESET.  I cannot believe that this is the solution. Of course, there is the suggestion to wire it, but my router is not easily accessible and I have a Playbase!Any suggestions??

Sub Mini does not work

I have recently purchased a Sub Mini in order to connect it to my two Play:1 speakers.Initially it would not even connect to the speakers.After about a day of trying, it eventually connected to the room and the speakers. However there was no sound.The sub was dead.After endless resetting etc it suddenly gave me sound. I got about twenty minutes out of it. The next time I turned the computer on it was dead again, and has been ever since.After extensive research all I can find is the usual “it’s not Sonos, it’s your router” diagnoses/excuses.Well, if my router is as bad as so many seem to suggest it is, how is that it has been running my other Sonos Sub perfectly for over five years without one single problem? How is that Sonos still plays my music perfectly too? How is it that my internet reception/speed is perfect too? How is that SKY multi-room boxes all run fine off this supposedly defective router?Before you ask - no - the sub is not too far away/too near the router, neither is ther

Roam plus Era 100 - Spotify stream - songs skipping after 30 seconds or so

I have had a Roam for the last couple of years and it has mostly worked well.  I do not like the new app, but I like the Sonos ecosystem and decided to expand the system with an Era 100.  I thought I would be ok as I suspected that the app issues were related to large/complicated Sonos setups and that progress was being made on system stability.But I am now having issues where songs from a Spotify stream just skip after playing for 30 seconds or so.  It is an intermittent problem, but I just had 5 songs in a row skip.  I mostly use the speakers as a group - both playing.Is this worth taking up with Sonos support given the intermittent nature of the issue?  Do you know if Sonos keeps an internal log of song skips and the reasons behind them?Feeling deflated about my new purchase.

Sonos Amp two Passive and two Sonos One playing Stereo/Surround

Hi,I resently disconnected my Sound base and now connected my Amp with two passive speakers and two Sonos One. It works well in surround but is a bit annoying when I just want to listen to stereo from the passive speakers alone when playing music from other sources. I know I can go in the Sonos App and switch off surround manually but is there a way to set up two groups. One surround group with Amp+passive+2xOne always automatically switching one with the TV (Connected to Samsung 2024 model with HDMI Arc) and then another group with just the Amp and the two passive speakers for when I play music without the TV. I have two other Sonos speakers in the kitchen and in the dining room.BrgdsClaus

Are Pre-defined Groups Broken?

Since acquiring a Roam 2, I have it in the bathroom and connect it via groups to a stereo pair in the man bedroom… So I thought I’d create a pre-defined group called Showertime with the roam and stereo pair so that I can more quickly group.However… It doesn’t seem to work as expected (ignoring the annoying amount of swiping in the new app...). So on this screen I effectively have 2 predefined groups showing, Everywhere and Showertime. But, if the damned app is not on one of the rooms in the group Shower, when. press Shower, it adds shower to the room selected instead of changing the selection to what is in Shower… But, if I select Everywhere, which does the obvious, and then press Shower, it selects just the rooms in the group Shower, which is what I’d expect normally.. Is that how it’s supposed to work? Doesn’t seem very intuitive?

Fallos en la APP

Desde el propio soporte técnico de Sonos, no saben dar una solución. Agradezco si alguien puede ayudarme. Gracias  Moderator edit:Google Translate-Hello, I have a Sonos system that worked perfectly since I installed it, but for a few days now the APP has been giving an error and the speakers have been disconnected. From Sonos technical support itself, they don't know how to give a solution. I would appreciate it if someone could help me. Thanks.

Sub gen 2 rattle

So i have a Sub Gen 2, back from 2018. Recently i have heard a rattling whenever there is low frequency, loud volumes. Contacted support, and they after testing the connection to speakers, concluded that the problem lies in the sub. They offered me to send it back to them, and they will give me a discount (after I ship back the old sub to them) to buy a new one. (It’s really not that much considering there’s a 20% sale now) . Does this sound fair ? It’s a 6 year life span for a sub woofer ?interestingly when I lie the sub flat on the ground? That seems to be minimal or less rattle compared to when it is upright  would there be anything I can do to repair it?

Playlists from S1 to S2

Hello from Finland,I have been using Sonos system for 13 years. I have six different Sonos speakers. Half of them legacy S1 -only speakers and half modern ones. I finally realized I have to move to S2 and forget old speakers. I just realized that Sonos playlists don’t move from S1 to S2. I have couple 500 song playlists. I opened S2 and uppgraded new speakers to S2. Then I saw that playlists don’t move. I figured out that I have to manually move playlists to Spotify. Half a days work but possible. I opened S1 and started moving playlists by hand. I realised that I don’t have inaf time to do that at that day so I came back to do that couple days later (today) and S1 don’t open. It just says open S2. I deleted S2 app and cut new speakers from electricity. Won’t help. Can’t get S1 to open. See that old speakers flashes at app before it says “Us S2 app”. Are now old playlists destroyed? Can I do something to get old lists back? My wife will kill me for this..
