Just got a Sonos Ray as a gift and I’m hoping there’s a way to connect my two other Sonos speakers to it as a surround group. The problem I think is that the other speakers are a One and a Play:1. When I got those speakers a few years ago, I had to use a 3rd party app called Sonos Sequencer to connect them as a stereo pair. I’ve used that app to group them with the Ray, but wonder if there is some way to get the three connected in a left-center-right configuration. When I separate the stereo pair to try to set them up as surrounds in the Sonos app, the speakers are not recognized. I appreciate any advice!
I don’t think the Sonos controller will allow that, not sure about third party ones.
You might grab a used Play 1 or Sonos One and us it and yours as surrounds. on ebay it looks like the Ones may be a couple bucks cheaper than the 1s.
I figured it out and the app Sonosequencr does it perfectly. The comments in this thread gave me the answer.

Hope this helps someone else!
It’s FL-Center-Right. Not really surround I guess, but extra separation. It also has an option for sub. I could be wrong…it’s a bit of a slog to figure out how to use the app. I’m grateful for it, however! It’s too bad sonos couldn’t/wouldn’t build better compatibility features for their various devices.
