Why is there input delay on line-in and digital inputs?

So, I know this topic has been discussed a gazillion times already. But I’m really getting upset by this. Why does there have to be a delay...

Can I send my alarm and favourites settings to another person?

I have painstakingly set my alarms for specific programmes to turn on automatically. Can I share these with a (future) Sonos user to make life easier for that person (he is less tech savvy then me). Thanks, Miriam

Finally ready to go to S2 exclusively

So I have been running S1 & S2 simultaneously for awhile now. I am now ready to fully jump to S2. I have some SONOS playlist though on my S1 that I would like to move to S2. Is that possible. I still have one device running the S1 software.

Account shows products I no longer own

When I sign in to my account on the Sonos website and go to System, the list contains products I no longer own, like an old Play 5.  The Play 5 was actually recycled.  I did not deregister it before that.  But there doesn’t seem to be any way to get it off the list.  I know it doesn’t do any harm for it to be there.  I would just like to clean things up.  Thanks.

Radio Recommendations

I tried to add an internet radio station I liked (via “Manage => Add Radio Station”), but it didn’t work… This sent me down a rabbit hole… So here’s the question that may help me dig out: Is there a guide anywhere, or a ranking, or anything, to help me sort through all the TuneIn, radioPup, etc. stations? For instance, I type in “Bossa Nova”, and there are dozens. But if I get too specific, I get nothing. (For instance, “West African guitar”). There just comes a point in a man’s life when there isn’t time to sample and find what he likes… He knows he needs a guide...

Do Apple Music Streams Count for Charting

If I stream through Apple Music on my Sonos, does it count for streams? I want to make sure I'm supporting smaller artists and helping my favorite artists climb the charts.

2 RMA for pair of speakers

Hi I ordered a pair of sonos speakers (https://www.sonos.com/en-us/shop/two-room-set-era-100)Both speakers were delivered in a single box. One of them was defective and I wasn’t happy with the sound of the other. So, I decided to return both. I generated RMA but I see separate RMA for each speaker. Am I expected to ship speaker separately? can I just put both speakers in the box it came with and send it as one shipment?

Setting up new speakers with a second network

I am trying to set up new speakers at my second home using the same app I use for my main home. Can someone provide me with assistance? I am teying to connect a beam and two 2 play 1. I want to use it as a center and two fronts. When i turn on my app, it recognizes the wifi at my second home. I tried to add these speakers to this by clicking on more options. On there, it gives me an option to add another sonos system. After clicking here, it gives me an option to sign in or create an account. I chose to sign in and followed the prompts. When it comes to the part where I need to push the button on the back, this initially flashes red or orange then eventually solid red or orange. Not sure what to do from here. Thank you.

Turn off audio delay on Era 300

Hi there,in the app, I see the option to increase/decrease the audio delay, but is there a way to turn it off completely.I’m probably not using the Era as intended.. I have connected via the Line-In adapter to an old Yamaha Keyboard. Play is to use it as the speaker for the keyboard and an extra speaker for the room at other times. Even the low 75ms delay makes it difficult to play the keyboard and feel natural.

Overall Sonos quality?

The Sonos updater for macOS failed with an unexpected error, so I come to the support site download the update manually. My Sonos Roam recently died w/o explanation after a little less than two years. I ordered a Sonos Sub a few months ago and it got lost/was never delivered after waiting over a month (or was it two)? I wound up having to dispute the order via my credit card company to get the charge back.I have a huge investment in Sonos but I'm increasingly nervous about quality. Is there something going on with the company overall I should be worried about? It just seems like a lot...

Unable to Browse Spotify in Sonos Phone App

I recently updated my Play:1 to Sonos OS: S2 Version 12.0.3 both on my laptop and iPhone. Since then I am unable to access Spotify via the Browse tab on my phone Sonos app. I am able to use my Spotify service via the Search tab to find songs etc. and play them on my Play:1 but am unable to directly access in my phone app my curated Spotify self-created playlists, suggested playlists, etc. since I cannot access Spotify via the Browse tab. I have logged out of my Sonos account, relogged back in, removed my Spotify account, re-added it, re-authorized etc — all to no avail. Whenever I press on the Spotify tab in the Browse tab a “circling” waiting graphic pops up and the app becomes unresponsive if I try to press the back arrow or access the other tabs like Search while the “circling” waiting graphic is spinning. Eventually, after a few minutes the app screen changes from the waiting icon to a screen that states for me to re-authorize Spotify but pressing on the “re-authorize” shortcut but

Anything that comes to mind? Anything new you want to know?Looking forward to seeing you there!Did you miss the livestream?

nuances of upgrading hardware components of a split s1/s2 system

SHORT VERSIONI will soon do a hardware upgrade of the S1-only components of a Sonos system that is currently split between S1 and S2, and want to unify those separate systems into a single S2 system. What is the correct process for doing this, particularly in regards to when I add the new components?The online documentation I have found does not directly address some of the concerns I mention in the long version. In several places it just says to follow the prompts, but that gives no overview of what to expect.LONG VERSIONMy current Sonos configuration consists of: S1-only compatible components running S1: Play:5 (Gen 1) x2, Connect:Amp (Gen 1) S1/S2 compatible components running S1: Move, Play:1 S2-only compatible components running S2: Roam I have ordered hardware upgrades for the Play:5s and Connect:Amp (Fives and an Amp), but am unsure of the best process for unifying the separate systems into a single S2 system.The only step I feel certain of is using the Product Removal Tool
