can the Move 2 be paired in stereo with the original Move?

I know it won’t pair Bluetooth but that doesn’t matter to me. But I would like to set up a stereo pair for use in my backyard. A related question: Could I set up a Move 1 and 2 as surrounds with my Beam 2?I understand if it’s possible I’d have to go through set up procedures whenever I change from one to the other, but that’s fine since it won’t be frequent.

Use Move 1 Charging Base on Move 2?

I got my Move 2 today and was sad to see they changed the charging base a bit.  I had bought an extra Move 1 charger to keep in another room to lug it around between rooms without moving the charging base as well.  I’m curious if the Move 2 will charge properly using the Move 1 base?  I’d just try it but afraid it may hurt something in my new Move 2.  I’d really hate to now fork out extra money on yet another extra charger and try to offload this one lol.

Sonos Roam - USB-C single orientation

I am a long-time Sonos user and I recently bought a Sonos Roam. I am disappointed that the basic thing about having a dual orientation USB-C charging port was not implemented: the device charges only if a USB-C to USB-C cable is plugged in on the Roam’s end in one orientation, but not the other. I tried a few cables and a few chargers and concluded that it was the Sonos Roam’s fault. Considering that Sonos is a premium brand, I wonder why this wasn’t implemented.Sure, the included USB-A to USB-C cable works both ways, but the world is moving towards USB-C only, so this design is a missed opportunity.

Move 2 app compatibility

Does anyone know if I need to use the new app for the Move 2?  We have some older Sonos speakers upstairs that we’d want to pair with this, but they won’t work on the v2 of the app.

Roam stereo pair is silent in right hand speaker?!?

I’ve just setup a system with two Roams as a stereo pair on a Wi-Fi network, but during play back sound only comes out of the left hand speaker.  They display as connected in the controller app and the control buttons on both speakers work as expected, it’s just that one speaker is silent :-(.I suspected there might have been a hardware issue with the actual speakers inside the device, but I connected to it with Bluetooth and it plays fine.  Looking around in the controller app there’s a balance control in the EQ settings, but it’s set to 0 (the middle) by default.  Moving it left makes no difference, but moving it right makes everything quiet with it going silent at +20R.So is this some firmware bug?  Or has something gone wrong with my setup that a reset would fix?  Any help appreciated.

Roam with S2 Playlists over Bluetooth

I’ve expanded my Sonos system with a Roam SL, and when at home on the wifi, that all works well. When on a remote, fairly frequently visited, location I was hoping to make use of:Roam SL Iphone S2 with playlists and servicesbasically I was hoping to BT pair the Roam SL with my phone on which I have S2, and from S2 control the Roam SL, and play my family’s all playlists stored on Sonos/S2. But so far S2 looks empty/inaccessible as of content. Am I dreaming up this possibility, or am I just not setting it up correctly?

One Roam always online, one always offline?

I have two roam speakers in a single room as a stereo pair separated by about 4 ft on top of a TV stand. Wi-Fi router is in the adjacent room about 10 ft away. Why does one Roam always stay connected to Wi-Fi, and the other always disconnects? I’m tired of having to power cycle it every time I want to listen to them.

adding a move

If I add a move speaker to an existing system where the other speakers don't have Bluetooth, can you play Bluetooth on all speakers as long as the one being used primarily is the move?

Color of the cable with colored roam?

This has to be the dumbest question around here, but here goes:When buying a blue / red / green Roam, what color is the USB cable included? I’ve done the research and genuinely couldn’t find that info.A bit silly but I do want my charger to match the cable, otherwise it’s ugly.

Move plus what other speaker?

I have purchased a Move. If I were to add a second speaker, so that there are two good speakers within one room or I have speakers in different rooms, what speaker would  best compliment the Move? Can I have two Moves?

Feature request: power off roam complete over time

I know the Roam has Battery Saver and Wifi Power Saver, but it should have the ability to choose to complete power it off after lets say 30min.If i power it off and keep it in the charger stand, it will indicate on Sonos app that it is off and not response, while it still charges to full and stay off.I dont need it to be “online” all the time like the rest of my Sonos One system, and it should have a feature like that, to also save the battery in the long run, and not force me to have to remember to turn it completely off.

how to stop sonos move from automatically connecting and playing content im not even watching or listening to?

When i put my sonos move on the charging base it will automatically connect to content on my phone that i wasn’t even listening to or watching and suddenly it is blaring in my house.  OMG is that irritating!!  I NEVER want auto play, period.  Can they not add a setting to prevent that from happening regardless of what app is causing it to start??  That was a rhetorical question, obviously Sonos could do that.  Is there some way of accomplishing what i’m asking about?  Please help!

Do I need to assign Moves to same room to enaure audio stays in sync whole using in the same area?

I am considering buying a few Move speakers to use both indoors and outdoors depending on how I am entertaining. The idea is to put one Move for background music in each of the kitchen, dining room, and study. Then, if I want to entertain in the backyard, I’ll place all three Moves outdoors. (I have a large backyard, so three Moves will not be overkill.) I do not plan on creating stereo pairs inside or out. My backyard has strong WiFi coverage. Will I run into any issues (e.g. audio syncing) if the Moves are not assigned to the same room when using together outside within the same area? I know I can group rooms to make controlling them easier. I am asking about audio quality. I expect it will be fine, but wanted to check.

Sonos Roam is an expensive paperweight

I am beyond done with my Sonos Roam. It has always had issues connecting and staying connected to my network. I have experienced the same issue with Bluetooth. Every month or so I try it again but to no avail. I will step through the troubleshooting process – restarting the device and ultimately my router. Nothing works these days. It shows up in my Sonos app as not connected, and after all the troubleshooting I’m told to try again another time.I spent hours on the phone with Sonos support early on. They admitted this is a known problem that they are working to fix. It’s been close to a year and still no progress. I could not return or exchange it because I got it from Best Buy and discovered it’s uselessness after the return window. IMO, Sonos should not be selling defective products period. I very rarely write reviews but felt compelled to do so in an effort to warn others. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!!!

SONOS ROAM Shutting itself down on full battery, lowering volume alone

Buyed my Roam the  01/07/2021, worked good except for the sound stuttering constantly when scrolling Youtube on my phone.Now the product is completly unusable, turns itself off after a few minutes for no reasons, sometimes lower the volume despite having no volume limitation in the settings (happens with both my phone and computer).I tried doing the reset, changing settings like the surround or autoconnection but nothing worked.App is up to date, account connected, there’s no voice assistant linked.I sent a report after the shut down and restart so you guys can check what’s going on inside : 978345758

Sound cuts in/out on move but not on arc while playing tv

I am connected to a Vizio 65” with ethernet cable connected to Arc and sub with move speaker.  WiFi is located in the same room.  While watching tv, the sound comes out of Arc perfect, does not cut out.  However, the move speaker sound is “pulsing”.  it literally cuts in/out about every second or two.  What am i doing wrong?
