Portable speakers

Sonos “Play” goes to sleep when not being used to conserve the battery. Is there any method remotely awakening it rather than having to push the “on” button the the speaker?

Ever since I saw the strap on the back of the Play, I thought it would be convenient to be able to hang the Play from a hook.  If you’re commonly using the Play in your backyard, or anywhere really that’s not it’s charging home, and don’t want place on a surface, a hook is a good option.The main problem with this is that the strap is 90% degrees the wrong direction.  Using that with typical hook is going to have the Play facing the wrong direction, or if against a wall, twist the strap in a way that puts unnecessary strain.   Adding a carabiner, or something similar, between the Paly and Hook would fix this issue.  However, all the carabiner’s I’ve seen have a curved surface.  Maybe not an issue, but that would likely mean the strap doesn’t lay evenly in the carabiner, and puts more strain on the edges of the Play strap rather than evenly across the entire strap. Perhaps not an issue, and the strap won’t eventually tear, however, I’m wondering if there is a better device out that can b

Every few weeks my Sonos move needs a factory reset for it to work. It’s very annoying having to wait to reset it every time I want to use it. It stays on the charger when I’m not using it

Is sonos move 2 charging base station compatible for sonos move 1 too?

Is it possible to connect the new sonos play via Bluetooth with the Samsung freestyle video projector?

A quand l'enceinte mobile multifonctions Sonos bluetooth qui puisse aussi  se connecter à l'autoradio d'un véhicule, pour en améliorer le son ou simplement mettre du son à l'arrière d'un véhcule qui n'en à pas  ?

i’ve had a roam for a few years now (i have a number of other sonos products that i love) and it has been a real disappointment: constantly disconnecting; alexa stops working; battery saver stops working and will die if i don’t turn it off; sound is sometimes good, sometimes bad. I’m sure it has heard profanity more than it has heard instructions… i’ve contacted customer support a few times, but at this point, it takes so long to go through all of the resetting and adding it back again, and then a few months later it’s doing something again. at this point i might just give up. anyone else with their roam acting like a lemon? 

Just a quick first impression on the Sonos Play. Yours may be different based upon your room and hearing. Testing as a Stand-Alone speakerDon’t right off the bat, make a comparison to a Move2. The Move2 will always out-shine the Play. Set the Play up and listen to a few of your favorite test tracks. Be sure to turn on TruePlay tuning. After a few minutes of listening the Play will adjust to the room acoustics. After a while (in my testing) you’ll enjoy the Play for what it is…a portable speaker that performs better than the Sonos Roam series. I sat about 8 feet from the speaker which exhibited a stereo effect depending upon the track. There is low-end…again depending upon the track. Overall (IMO) in terms of frequency response the Play has decent vocals but may be a bit bright for some. A/B testing against the Move series (in my case the Move2). Suffice it to say the Move2 wins hands-down.Testing as a Stereo PairThe Play produces a pleasant sound stage with good separation. I have a vi

Hello - Got the new Sonos Play speaker - it would be nice to have the battery percentage appear in more places in the app - it’s hard to navigate to find that info.

Hi,I bought a Move 2 recently and it's a great speaker. However, I noticed when switched off (long press on the back button until it chimes and disappears from app) it loses 2% charge a day. I contacted support who initially decided to replace the unit. The second unit arrived but it's behaving the same way. They're now saying it's expected. Weird.Considering 3 hours of playtime at volume 40 uses about 10% of the battery that means, when it should be off, it's losing about 35mins of play time...a day.I intend to use the speaker when outside gardening or away from the house. I don't want it sitting on a charger all the time, nor do I want the battery totally drained, neither of which are healthy for batteries. I assume the official line will be something like "even when powered off is still doing some stuff" but why? That's what sleep mode is for. Its a portable speaker. If I turn it off it should be off and and drain levels should match what you would normally expect with a rechargeabl

How will the two Sonos Play speakers behave in stereo mode, but connected by a USB-C/AUX adapter to TV?

I bought 10k worth of Sonos and now none of the Move 2’s stay connected for more than a day.  I call support daily and they have no fixes.  They say it is WiFi related because that places the blame on someone else. I don’t buy it.  Before I spend 10k on another solution and take joy in burning my Sonos equipment and posting on YouTube+ I wonder if others have recommendations.  

I have two sonos moves and two sonos ones... I'd love for them all to be in a zone, but the moves aren't listed in the products that are compatible? Why? The moves give great base and work well as good base drivers in liu of a dedicated sub, which is why I went with it. Sure, yes, I can do a Group, but this gives flakey reliability when using Spotify, so I'd love to setup a zone. Is there a future where the move can be added to this list?https://support.sonos.com/en/article/set-up-a-zone-for-multiple-sonos-products

 How to return in application "new" feature - the ability to enable Auto Trueplay in Android application? (If you have turned off Auto Trueplay in the app, you will not be able to turn it on again either in the app or via the touchpad on the speaker) I have Sonos Move×4,Sonos Roam×2.

Hi, I need help with a persistent AirPlay issue that now only affects my Roam SL.What works:Era 300 appears in AirPlay after router reboot. HomePod Mini works normally. Roam SL is reachable on LAN by IP. Roam SL responds on Sonos API port 1400.What does not work:Roam SL does not appear as an AirPlay target. Roam SL does not appear in RAOP browse either. Factory reset + firmware update did not fix it.Network and device context:OpenWrt router, subnet 192.168.5.0/24. Era 300 at 192.168.5.226, Roam SL at 192.168.5.172. Mac is on same subnet, direct reachability is good. Router reboot restored Era behavior but not Roam.Diagnostics already performed:dns-sd browse:Era/HomePod show in _airplay._tcp and _raop._tcp. Roam missing repeatedly.Roam direct checks:ping OK. HTTP on 1400 OK. AirPlay service endpoint on 7000 responds.Sonos API checks:DeviceProperties schema contains AirPlayEnabled. /status/airplay returns 200. /reboot endpoint returns forbidden on current firmware.Comparison result:Era a

I have a ROAM network at home, however I’m in the South Pacific on a cruise right now. I brought our ROAM 1st gen speaker with us. My iPhone connects fine to the ROAM across bluetooth. Just prior to our departure, I bought a new iPad. The iPad did not have the Sonos app loaded, which I’ve now done.The iPad cannot “see” the ROAM as it was never connected to the home SONOS network.Is it even remotely possible to use the ROAM Bluetooth settings buried in my iPhone, and manually create a connection from the new iPad to the ROAM? Many TIA!

So it was dead. But though a bit of googleing i got it to show charging... but now it never seems to charge and will not turn on even if plugged in. Any suggestions!?

What does the exclamation sign in the battery signal mean?Sometimes when my Roam2 is loading the batterie at the batterie sign appears an exclamation sign instead the flash which indicates the batterie is loading, on both cases (the flash & the exclamation sign) the percentage of batterie appears on aside.Thanks for your help.

Hi,I’ve two parallel systems - S1 app running some ZP80s and Gen 1 Play 3s, and S2 app for Move 2, Play 5 Gen 2 and Roam.  I have a Move 1 which its just easier to have on the S1 app but tonight the S1 app is now stuck in an update loop; “requires update”, click “not now” and just goes back to the list of zones with the Move showing the spanner and “Needs update”.  It’s also occasionally looping a screen telling me all my devices are S2 compatible and suggesting I open the S2 app to control them.  That’s obviously wrong and will end up bricking my ZPs and probably my Gen 1 Play 3s.  Not sure why this suddently started happening.  Any ideas gratefully received ThanksDave

Can I listen music by wire using Sonos roam via adapter?

I am trying to connect my Audio Technica AT-LP60XBT turntable via bluetooth to my Sonos Roam2 (which works fine) but when I try to group it with my ARC sytem or my Play1 the bluetooth connection between the turntable and Roam2 seems to disconnect, even though the BT blue light still shows it is connection. Prior to grouping the Roam2 with either the ARC or Play1, the BT connection is working and the Roam2 is playing the audio from the turntable. Am I doing something wrong to get the turntable signal to come through the Roam2 to get to the ARC and Play1 (grouping all speakers together) or is this something that the Sonos 2 app cannot do?

I have a new server and new desktop.  Last night, I was able to connect my Play3 to Sonos - plays the services I have set up.However, when I go to connect a separate Play3, I keep getting the message “we couldn’t find any Sonos products on you mobile device’s network so we can set up the Play3.I have rebooted Router, modem, iphone, hard reset the Play3, but to no avail.Help!Don Jones

I just got a roam 2 into add airplay and Bluetooth capabilities to my play :1s. I think I have the roam 2 and play:1s grouped. they all play music together from the sonos app. But if I try to play music via Bluetooth or AirPlay (like on my phone via Apple Music), the roam drops from the speaker group and plays alone. the whole reason I got the roam 2 was to be able to use Bluetooth with my system. Can someone help me? I’ve been looking at help articles but have not been able to figure it out. 

Straight out of the box, I have had ongoing issues with these speakers and this is not a comprehensive list!! Frequent updates required, resulting in speakers not working; Frequent loss of connectivity, drop outs, etc. resulting in needing to reconnect each time I wish to play music and during music playback; Speakers not stereo pairing, and never working at the same time when grouped; Inability to run all speakers at the same time (i.e. the sound bar in a separate room) even when not in stereo / groups; Latency in volume adjustments (sometimes up to around 30 seconds or more, or not at all); Latency in music changes, or not at all, and inability to reset the app; Inability to change music being played as the app would not update to the current playlist / music being played; and Lack of availability of support, including emailing the CEO, to assist with resolving issues (online / phone support unavailable).  They can’t even call you back when they commit to.  In short, th
