I have a tv room which has my Sonos playbar and 2 x Sonos Play:1 setup as a 3:1 surround system... I’ve just been given 2 x Sonos One SL - I wanted to use these as the front surround but the app won’t let me add them to the same room. I can group them with the TV room but the audio is horrible and the sound isn’t controlled by the TV remote.
Am I doing something dumb or have I hit a limitation of the Sonos system?
Thanks in advance
You don’t have 3.1 you have 5.1 already. The Playbar plays the front left , centre and right channels. You cannot add more speakers to this.
This is pretty standard for soundbar-based systems, as opposed to AVR-based systems.
No. you’re not being dumb, Sonos just doesn’t support what you’re trying to do. The Beam, PlayBar, PlayBase and Arc all provide the front left & right and centre speakers. The options available are to add a Sub and/or 2 rear surround speakers.

Snap :)
Thanks all - super helpful
I guess i can use the Sonos One SL’s in other rooms - I thought that when adding the front speakers, the playbar would become a centre speaker, but the info above is helpful and clears up my mis-understanding.
