Hi, I have a Sony Bluetooth turntable and wondering if  connected  by BT to a Sonos Roam, I can then share the turntable music with paired Sonos speakers in the same and other grouped rooms with Sonos speakers .Appreciate any advice.Ian   

I recently bought an IKEA speaker for a rental house. I am trying to set it up using a new SONOS account I created for the rental with a different email address to my home account (which is the one I am using now). The App keeps telling me that the verification email has been sent but I have not received it. I have tried multiple times and double (and triple!) checked the email address to make sure it is correct. I have also checked both my SPAM and Junk email folders. I have also tried to set it up with a (second)  separate email address but without success (ie, same problem). The account I am using to send this question is my home account, which has a different email address and is quite separate to the rental. Please help me. It is very frustrating.

Just bought a new home, they’ve previously had 4 in ceiling Sonos speakers installed. 2 in the living room and 2 in the kitchen which they’ve left. The overall setup from the previous owners was an amp, play bar, sub and ceiling speakers. I am now looking at my own setup, incorporating the ceiling speakers and looking for an understanding.  if I was to replicate the previous system, buying a playbar, sub and amp. Could I wire all of these to one amp? (playbar, sub and four ceiling speakers). Or would I need two amps to power all rooms? To have audio in different rooms I.e. tv audio in the living room, but then different audio in the kitchen I presume another amp would be needed? If I want music to play throughout the ceiling speakers and sub could the tv then play separate?  thanks in advance      

I have several Play: 1 speakers, sub, playbar, boost and a Sonos One SL speaker. I’m running wifi on Mesh system (as my house is pretty big).A month ago or so the system was running just fine and I was able to group One SL speaker with older Play:1 speakers. Now I’m unable to use One SL speaker because in the S2 app it requires to be updated. So when I try to update it the process just stops at some point and shows an error message 1 (of which I couldn’t find any info in support section). I’ve tried rebooting the whole system and router. When I unplug the One SL speaker the rest of the system is running fine. Why can’t One SL speaker finish update?Here’s couple of pics of the app and thebupdate error. Apologies for the Finnish language.  

So I have a Beam connected to my PC and the sub connected via app. I want to add another Beam in the same room connected to my TV and have it also use the sub. Is this possible? Will audio come out of both Beams or just the connected device?

I have a Amp connected to ethernet and and Sonos One connected in another room and was able to get them both showing up in app for a period. I had some issues and reset the amp twice but have an issue now where I can see the amp only on my laptop and the One on my other devices. I can’t seem to get them both to appear together and can’t see them on the same device ever. I have one wifi network and they’re all connected to the same network, the sonos both work as expected with the light indicators (solid white).  Any ideas whats going on? I should be able to see the system even if someone else is playing music on them, correct? So it’s not an issue of having someone playing music I would assume.  Thank you! 

I have a new Pro-Ject T1 Phono SB Turntable (with pre amp) with the RCA connecters into the line in on the Sonos Amp. In the house I also have two pairs of Five speakers and three Play:1’s.There are no wired speakers coming off of the Amp. The goal was to play records and have the music picked up on any of the speakers in the Sonos network.The Amp settings areSource Level 10 (high)Autoplay OffMy issue is that all I hear is heavy static when I set the audio to Line In and then at the highest Source Level and max volume I can hear a little bit of the audio.Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

My Sonos Move won’t power on.  I’ve had it for about 18 months.  When I place it on the charger, the orange “I’m charging” light on the front of the speaker comes on for a few seconds, and then goes off.  No other lights come on, and it does not respond to any button.  I called Sonos support and they said that the would send me a new unit - I just had to fill out the email form they would send me.  However, the email form says that because it’s out of warrantee, they’re going to charge me about 80% of the cost of a new one,  So now, before I throw it in the garbage or salvage it for parts, I’m wondering if the battery is dead and needs to be replaced.  How can I tell if the battery needs to be replaced?

Hi, I have recently swapped an old 5.1 system out with the Sonos Arc.  The 5.1 system had all components connected into the A/V receiver with one HDMI from the receiver to the TV (Sony Bravia KD49XE8005) and had absolutely no lip sync problems. I’ve now set up the Arc (via ARC) and, I thought, everything was still fine.  I had no lip sync issues on apple TV, PS4 and some Sky content.  Sonos Arc is connected via ARC (HDMI 3 in my TV’s case) with the Apple TV, PS4 and Sky Q box connected via other HDMI inputs.   However, I have identified a very specific issue with Sky Q.  When watching stereo content (i.e. non HD) I have no lip sync issues.  When watching UHD Atmos content (output via DD+), there are no lip sync issues.  However, when Sky Q outputs DD5.1 the audio and video go out of sync in the way that can’t be fixed (i.e. video is ahead of the audio). I have tried a power cycle and the issue still persists.  Additionally, when I set the Sky Q HDMI output to normal and it outputs

Is it possible to charge the Move with a portable battery pack like anker, mophie etc with the USB-C port?

Anyone want to buy all my Sonos speakers Cheap.  just over it 

I have 2 orders without a delivered date. I pay for it also.  what i need to do ? Regards manuel  

Hey folks, looking for some advice.  After a bit of messing around I finally managed to get my app (through Android not IOS) to recognize that I was receiving an Atmos signal from my 4k player and the Netflix app. However my current issue is that when I test it the speech from the ARC is very muffled, that’s testing it on Ready Player One 4K disc and both Lost in Space and Bright via Netflix.  The confusing thing is that the speech eventually fixes itself but it takes a fairly long time to adjust.  I’ve tried adjusting various settings but nothing seems to be working.  Everything was bought just before or just after Christmas and this is the first chance I’ve had to put everything together.  HDMI cables are all fine but wondering if I should try the one that was supplied with the ARC or not. Someone criticized the placement of my ARC as it is only about 3 or 4 inches of the ground below the TV, this was necessary as the damn TV is so big it takes up the majority of the surface. Any adv

Not sure where else to ask this. If I am playing a radio station via TuneIn radio and then add another room or swap rooms, it cuts the feed and throws a commercial on. I understand when I am completely starting out in the morning that would happen but this is new to us. Kind of annoying to have it cut off what is playing and throw an add in there when all I am doing is adding/removing a room to the stream. Thanks.

Thinking of getting a Roam for a boat.  Does anyone use a portable wifi speaker on a boat.The wifi connection would be via a MiFi dongle as wifi in the Marinas is pretty rubbish. Any experience ?

Good morning, For over six years I have been creating playlists on the Sonos app via Napster. I now wish to leave Napster and transfer everything to TIDAL, still to be played on Sonos. It is only recently that I have realised that music on my Napster account on Sonos does not back up to my Napster account.   Sonos is not able to help me.  I find this quite poor.  I wonder if other users have had this issue and if there is a way to overcome it.   I use an iPad and iPhone. I do not have a computer.  Thank you.   

My Sonos move works great on both wi-fi and Bluetooth, except that when it is connected via wi-fi and I am watching or listening to something (on any platform: YouTube, streaming services, VLC, Spotify, QuickTime, etc.) and I hit pause, when I press play again the sound cuts out. This has happened on four different MacBooks, iPhones, iPad, etc. The only solution I have found is to manually go to audio controls on the device and change the audio output to the internal speaker, then switch back to Sonos. Then it works again. If I pause a movie a few times that means doing this every single time to get Sonos back.Is this meant to happen? It’s been like that since I got the speaker and I’ve kind of accepted it as a flaw. This does not happen on bluetooth; only wifi. 

I have 3 Sonos architecture ceiling speakers and one connect amp. I currently have it wired to just 2 of them right now but would like the amp to power all three speakers, I don't mind if they are different volume as they are in different rooms but was wondering if someone could direct me in how to safely wire this, thanks! 

I am using S1 system, with a number of S1 only products.  I am getting a message ‘Unable to connect to music library’. The music library is stored on a networked PC. I have configured the PC for sharing, including the firewall. The fiilename is correct. I thought I would try to remove the library and reinstall it, but the Sonos S1 controller app won’t let me do that without updating the software, which I presume would then update it to S2 and I wouldn’t then be able to use my system.  Can someone help?  Thanks.

Just a quick design exploration to simplify the app and give us quicker access to all volume controls at once, utilizing the swipe up feature.

What is the best speaker to pair with the Sonos move?

Hi All Love my system (WD NAS, 4 x Play 1, Playbase, Sub, one of those IKEA ones and soon to be Roam), but not the most tech savvy! Current system components are in fixed locations and named so e.g Lounge, Kitchen etc When the Roam arrives, it will live in a Spare Bedroom, so when set up it will be named that. When i take it out into the garden or somewhere else and leave my wifi network, will it still be listed as a component in my system? And when it goes back on to the network, will it automatically recognise it and name it as previously e.g Spare Bedroom?Thanks, and sorry for being a techno-pleb!

Apologize if this is redundant. I’ve been searching around and only seen bits and pieces of what I’m looking for. I have a 2020 Samsung TV mounted on a fireplace (no mantle). Is it possible to use an Amp bonded with two Fives for wireless tv audio? I know this is a bit overkill...but I have no desire for a soundbar, and I don’t want to use the Fives as rears. 2 reasons for doing this: keeps the missus happy with no wires (outlets tucked behind Fives) AND I’d like to have the “better” audio quality of Fives in general for music. Thanks so much...and if someone answered this elsewhere, I’m ok with reading a link, just had trouble finding one.

Bonjour, j’ai mon Play 5 de première génération qui perd la connexion en wifi mais fonctionne bien en câble. J’ai déjà échangé le routeur mais toujours le même problème ?? Que puis je faire? Merci d’avance 

Hi there, I’ve just changed routers and cannot find my S1. I have been through the questions on the app (did you change router etc) but it just says “cannot find Sonos system on this account”. I have tried Sonos online chat to reboot the speaker and the router still with no success. is there anything else that I could try or do I need to do a factory reset?Many thanks
