Wie kann ich einen Plattenspieler, gerne auch von Sonos, in mein System mit Playbar einbinden???

Hi,I have the following setup arc + 2 ones and sub gen 2. Connected to LG CXLast night I heard a loud bang.I can't tell if anything was affected and I am trying to find a surround sound test that will test the surrounds each channel at a time.You tube on the LG doesn't seem to produce 5.2.1 (or anything other than stereo). I found one on Netflix by searching for test. All the surround speakers seem to work fine, but the sub test seems to cut out half way through. I am not 100% sure on this. As the arc also produces some bass it's hard to tell what the arc is producing and what the sub is producing. I know the sub will be more powerful bass, but I just want to isolate them if that makes sense. The sub isn't making any rattling or popping etc. Hoping that the bag I heard was unrelated to the AV equipment. Also I did a sniff test and couldn't smell any burning. ​​​​​I just want to find a second opinion test. Thanks in advance for any help. 

Good morning all i have a Sonos system (arc, 2 Sonos one and 1 sub)i did change my router and WiFi network but when I try to change my WiFi with Sonos app is not working.i did try with Ethernet cable but nothing happens cannot detect my network I guess.i switch the Ethernet wire but still nothing change.do someone got this issue or can advice any other option? thank you

If I buy a pair of the new Fives, do I still need a Sub? I see the Fives have 3 woofers? I suspect the Sub will improve the overall sound but I’m keen for any experience from the community.

I am unable to control my Playbar via my Samsung smart remote (BN59 01312R supplied with 2019 Frame TV) using infrared. My Samsung One Connect box (also supplied with the TV) is hidden in a draw, but does allow the remote to operate the playbar when in the open, presumably via RF/Bluetooth.  I have been able to set up my Sky Q box to function in this way, which also uses IR, and the other remote supplied with the TV (bn59 01175Q) also works, again using IR. I’ve read multiple articles on this topic both on the Sonos support pages and more broadly, and while I see plenty of guidance relating to the Samsung One remote (none of which has remedied the issue) I don’t see any pertaining to my own remote (BN59 01312R).  Any support would be much appreciated! Thanks  Gareth 

Hi, I’m looking to buy a few sonos one’s and maybe a sonos’s beam but would really like to save a few quid and get them certified refurbished from sonos as I have no problem with a used device. I was just wondering how regularly are the refurbished speakers restocked? and how quickly do they sell out? 

This is what I see when I click on Amazon Music in the S2 app.  Unlimited is not there.  All I can do is play things that I have added to My Music.  I cannot see or search unlimited.I have an Amazon Music Unlimited subscription in Germany and my Sonos account and devices are also registered in Germany.Any ideas?  

This has been an issue for me since the release of the playbar, and is still a problem today with the Arc.The SUB should have separate level settings for TV and Music just like the surrounds do.Ideally we would have separate EQ settings as well.Movies have way too much base and my kids aren't old enough to understand how to use the app to adjust the bass levels.

I'm doing a home renovation and have the chance to finally hardwire audio to all my rooms from my AV closet. I am trying to evaluate what it would cost to use Sonos in a multi-zone environment. I'm leaning towards one Port per zone (6 zones) and then getting a multi-zone amp to power all the speaker's. My issue is that each Port is $450, which means the total preamp setup will be a multi-thousand dollar endeavor.  Is there any work in progress for a multi-zone Port? It doesn't make sense to me that there should be multiple preamps all in the same rack when one device with 2, 4, 6, or 8 outputs could be smaller and more cost effective. I don't plan on playing different music per zone, but I do need the ability to turn each zone on and off at will as well as control the volume per zone. Is there a setup I have overlooked that would allow this with just one Sonos Port? Perhaps others have run into this conundrum and found an adequate solution.

I have heard that the Sonos apps only connect to a Sonos that is on the same subnet as the host running the app, and I am wondering if the same restriction applies to S2.  My Sonos CONNECT is on a local 10.0.0.x subnet.  I have no problem connecting to the CONNECT from a mobile S2 on a tablet or phone that is on 10.0.0.x.But I have a firewall/router attached to that subnet (as its WAN) for local hosts on 192.168.1.x (the firewwall’s LAN).  Everything on the 192.168.1.x subnet sees everything on the 10.0.0.x subnet, and the firewall (temporarily) allows ALL TCP and UDP traffic on all ports that originate anywhere on the 10.0.0.x subnet to enter the 192.168.1.x subnet.  Running the S2 app on my Windows machine at 192.168.1.35 cannot see the Sonos CONNECT, which makes me think it is using a restrictive probe that ignores any responses not coming from what it thinks is the local network, so when it gets a response from 10.0.0.18 (the Sonos CONNECT) but it is running on 192.168.1.35, then i

So I am upgrading my TV and have Sonos surround set up the following way:Sonos playbarSonos subsonos amp connected to 2 non Sonos ceiling rearscable box (Fios) i really do not think it’s worth upgrading to ARC (my wife might throw me out) unless it’s really worth it. I’m assuming connect HDMI 2 from cable box to TV and optical from TV to play surround. What audio settings should I use on LG? With this speaker setup is ARC really superior? Looking forward to getting it running. Any replies greatly appreciated. I am big Sonos fan have amp,to outside speaker, another 5.1 setup and 5 other play ones throughout house. 

Hello all, I tried to find my answer in other posts but none seemed recent enough to answer my questions fully. I am redesigning my room right now which currently has 2 Sonos Ones. I am adding a TV and an Amazon Fire TV Stick. I’m wondering if I will be able to put the audio from my Fire TV Stick through my Sonos One. Also, and much less importantly, would I be able to control my Fire TV using voice commands through my Sonos?  Any help is much appreciated! Happy New Year!

Hi All,I recently got the Arc and Subwoofer. I’m looking for some recommendations on a new power surge protector. 

I have Sonus 1.  I also have a RUSSOUND system.  All connections look intact.  This system used to work in 4 rooms until I upgraded to a MACBOOK PRO.  The Music library on SONOS is connected.  Clicking on “Rooms” on SONOS does not work.  How do I connect to the other three rooms the work through RUSSOUND?

Hi thereI know that it is possible to disable the volume control via the touch controls on the devices themselves, but I am actually looking for the opposite solution. Here is the thing:  I have Sonos players all around my house, including in the restrooms. Come party time, I group all players to play the same music. During the night, the group volume will be changed up and down depending on the mood. However, I would like the volume of the players in the restrooms (and a few other zones) to stay constant. They should basically play all night with the same (low) volume, and it should only be possible to change the volume via the physical buttons (typically once and for all before the guests arrive). All the other zones should be able to be controlled by the app as usual.Is this possible?  I think it would be a very useful feature.Thanx in advance for any suggestions/help :-)Best regards,Jørgen 

Is my tv compatible for the home theater with the arc bar?

I connected a new Beam to my system. When I try to get it to connect with my 2 existing play 1 for surround it says that play one speakers cannot be found

Hello hello . After searching and reading a lot and contacting the Sonos support (useless unfortunately), I would like to share here my problem hoping to find a solution.I’ve a Beam and a couple of SYMFONISK for the surround. The system works fine, I can connect and control with my Android phone, my Mac and ever send content with Airplay 2 from my iPad Pro 12.9 2nd gen. The problem is the Sonos S2 on the iPad that cannot see the system. I’ve done all the tips suggested by support with no luck. I’ve all the products with the latest SW update, including iOS 14.1 on the iPad, which I think is the problem. I give all the permission, obviously, included the beautiful Local Network. BUT, every time that I open the app and try to Join an existing system, it gives me a pop up saying that I’ve to grant access to the local network to the app. I press ok, the permission is active and after a couple of seconds of searching, it says that is Impossible to find any Sonos product on the network. Anot

About two weeks ago, my sonos S1 stopped working. On multiple devices (android, iOS, mac) the app says that the speakers need an update. However, when we try and update them, it gives “error code 30”. I have spoken with tech support and they had me try various unplugging and resetting. I am unable to directly connect the speakers via an ethernet cable due to where they are located. Is there anything else I can try to get these speakers updated and working again?

Over the last couple of months I have been creating a playlist on the Sonos app, from my music library on my iphone, without any problems.Suddenly just after Christmas I could no longer find the playlist on my phone or my ipad, which are both running the new app.Today I updated the app on my windows 10 PC and the playlist was there, but still not on the ios devices.I added the playlist to Favourites on the PC app and it then appeared on my ipad app, but still not on the iphone app.Has anybody else had similar problems, or am I missing something?

When I obtained my Alexa-Enabled SONOS Move speaker in 2019 I set up a routine for Alexa to say a greeting, give the weather, and play NPR News.   It initially worked great. Then, after an upgrade by SONOS or Amazon, it played the “Audio actions in routines are currently not supported on this device” message, but then went ahead and performed the routine. Now following further upgrades the Move speaker only plays the “not supported” message and no routine. The routine plays just fine on my iPhone using the Alexa app so I presume the routine is good. Because I have so much Sonos hardware in my home I am running the S1 Sonos Controller on my devices. Does anybody have any suggestions or solutions to this little problem? Thanks much for any input!

Hi  - I have three sonos amps running several sets of in-wall speakers (no sonos speakers).Have the amps running on my whole home wifi network but i have several ‘dead spots’ in the house where i can’t reach sonos from my iPhone. Can can i do?  thanks 

Is it true that subscribing to Tidal’s more expensive stream is a waste of money because my Sonos Port at S2 cannot handle 24 bit or MQA streams? thanks

Hi. I'd like to get a Sonos Arc. I currently have my LG TV connected to my Denon avr. I have my Sky, BTtv and XBox all connected to my Denon. This enables me to get Dolby Atmos through speakers attached to my Denon. If I get a Sonos Arc can I go from my current setup on my Denon into the Sonos Arc then out into my LG (or some similar setup) and get Atmos through the Sonos AND Denon avr and speakers at the same time? Don't know why but just think I'd like to keep my speakers as they are whilst also having the Sonos Arc. Am I being daft thinking like this? Cheers in advance. 

I have a Play:1 and Play:5 (Gen 1). I’m thinking of getting a Sonos Beam and wanted to understand if the Beam would group to the Play:1 and Play:5 (Gen 1)? I can’t think to find confirmation of this functionality on the Sonos site.
