Life with Sonos

Hello, Just enjoying our new MOVEs (is that the correct plural?). In the app, I can add CBC radio, and I can get all the CBC radio stations. Except that sometimes, a bunch of them are missing. Including Ottawa (where I live) and Toronto, and everything east of Sudbury west of Quebec City. I have...

Per Sonos instructions at setup, I disabled the audio speakers output on the receiver. Watching cable TV, and Apple TV thru my HDMI port #1 sound great, with the st...

Pairing Beam with Move

Question

Hi all, In our living room we have a Sonos Beam attached on the wall under the TV. Beam is used while watching TV but also when someone in the living room streams his Spotify to the Beam. This works like a charm but I'm not totally convinced with the sound, for me it's not full enough. We also have...

Word of warning for anyone looking at the Beam to start a 5.1 surround sound system, it will NOT work ideally for any streaming box except the Apple TV. I would suggest really doing your research and/or staying away from the Beam if you want a home theater solution. The Beam does not support Dolby...

Sonos needs volume normalization. Even services that have it such as Spotify pandora and Apple Music are not normalized when playing on Sonos.
