It can be a little overwhelming to start looking for a topic of information, or where to share your feedback, or ask for information. If you don’t want to search, but just want to browse around for interesting topics, then this guide is for you, as it will outline all of the subforums and the purpose of them:
Get help and assistance
This is the place to read or start a topic if you need help or just want some advice about your Sonos system. This can be everything from “How do I make sure my Sub sounds the best for movies?” to “How can I set up my system if I have a homelab with firewalls, different access points and other security features?” Although specifically for the Sub question, we suggest you use the search feature.
Our users are happy to help and can give you some great tips and help along the way, where they have experience.
Try to post your question in the category you feel it fits into. If you don’t know where your question fits, then post it in the “Ask a question” subforum and our moderators will help by moving it to the right section. See here how you can easily find your question back, if it’s been moved
