Hi,I have 5 pairs of sonos in ceiling/wall speakers connected to 5 sonos amps. What would be best configuration to create a surround experience in a room? Happy to add one or two sonos gen 3 subs to the system and add one or two sonos fives if that helps achieving high quality 3D spatial audio. I would like to not add a soundbar if possible.Could I even use more than two pairs of in-ceiling/in-wall speakers in one room as a surround setup? I have read entries about 4.1 or 4.2 setups by using a pair of sonos in-walls as front left and right and another pair as surround left and right -- utilizing only two pairs in one room. If I can use more than two pairs, could I add 3 pairs as front left and right and 2 pairs as surround left and right? Is Sonos planning to support a richer surround configuration experience? Is their lack of support a product/marketing strategy to prioritize selling their sonos eras and soundbars or is there a technical challenge they are not able to pass with the cu

So, another one of my ROAM dies. Not the first Orange light I have had - gratefully replaced by Richer Sounds under extended guarantee. This one is not so lucky - it will be consigned to the recycling centre small electronics bin.My advice, for computers/desks: BUY WIRED! I’m fed up replacing these when used as a stereo pair. They dont last the test of time. Simple as that.

I have just returned to Sonos after a few years of no Sonos gear. I got 3 era 100s.  I remember that when running trueplay the tones were quite loud. But when tuning the era 100s the tones were quite quiet. I’ve done some playing around and I’ve realised that trueplay sets the volume of the tones to whatever volume the speaker was set to prior to activating trueplay. This is advanced trueplay with iPhone.  I am not altering the volume once trueplay starts. I thought trueplay defaults to a preset volume? Just in case someone asked here is a diagnostic ********* any ideas?  Moderator Note: Diagnostic recorded and removed.

In my entertainment room for music listening only, I have across the length of the large room:One end - 1 x Era 300 + Sub miniOpposite end - 2x Era 300s + Sub Gen 3I used to have the 2 eras paired in stereo with the Sub Gen 3, but recently I’ve been playing around with the system.i unpaired all to run as individual units, then paired the sub mini with the one era 300 and on the other side I paired one era 300 with the Sub Gen 3.so technically I have 3 rooms grouped:era 300 + sub miniera 300 + sub Gen 3era 300NB. I have not run trueplay as yet.i noticed when playing the group, the Sub Gen 3 bass cuts out, but not the sub mini. If I turn the sub mini off, the sub Gen 3 kicks in in play.any idea why this happens?Thanks,V

My Sonos is saying Not Connected.  Support told me to factory reset, but I have a huge number of playlists.  I just can’t lose them. I restarted wi-fi, but no luck. What will happen if I connect the speaker to my router with an Ethernet cord?

Sonos will be working fine and then the app can’t find my speakers and prompts me to update my network. Which means I need to re-add my Sonos products. I set it up and a day or two later, same thing. It’s getting really time consuming and frustrating. Any suggestions?

I’ve connected Symfomisk satellite speakers to my Arc and the app shows them connected, but no sound is coming out. I’ve turned music onto full in the surround audio setting but still get nothing from the satellites.  I’ve removed them and reinstalled, this did do a software check/update, but not fixed.  things I’ve checked are the WiFi network and strength. Speakers are in the same room. White status lights are on the satellites. i did previously have the satellites connected to a Beam in the same room and they worked great!  help!!

Latest firmware and latest version of the Sonos app on Android.I still routinely have to stop and restart the app to get it to update it’s ‘now playing’ display.  While playing an imported playlist the speakers stop playing after random songs in the playlist.Unfortunately this is still an awful experience and I can’t get back to simply playing my music as it was before the ‘now not so new’ app was released.

Hello everyone,I've been experiencing an error on my system for a few weeks now. The error is called error 1.066. I don't know how to fix it. 

Trying to create a Sonos account fails saying check Internet connection 

i have a bat cave or den and have two fives  and a mini sub ....can u  add a sonos beam or ray by using the sonons 5 as tweeters...giving me two sonos 5s as tweeters a mini sub and a mini sub all integrated and not grouped is this possible 

I just got 3 era 100 speakers. Returning to Sonos after a few years away. I remember trueplay tones being quite loud on previous speakers.  But on the era 100s it’s pretty quiet. Then I noticed that whatever I set the volume to on the speakers before trueplay is what the tones would play at. That’s not normal right? I’m not touching the volume after initiating the trueplay process. It’s not same for both quick and advanced trueplay, quick is louder.   what is the volume setting equivalent for trueplay so that I can be sure it runs at the correct volume?  thanks 

HelloOne of my two SL1 speakers will not connect to my home network via WiFi.Things I have tried.Disconnect Speaker from power 2+ minutes. Disconnect speaker and router then power router back up and then speaker back up  Disconnected all my Sonos products in the room as it was the whole room setup w/multiple other Sonos products Step 2 again but with all Sonos products included in the set up  Also did all this based on the app T.S. Instructions  In the app I removed said speakers from current set up and then tried adding them back  oh and did all this multiple times as well  

Hi,my top question is on how do I add my Symfonisks (that I already added to my Sonos app) to the IKEA Home Smart app? I already forgot how I managed add the one I have there and can not find how to replicate my victory. I find that the IKEA app is way more responsive than the Sonos app for some reason and I hope to add another Symfonisk remote to Symfonisk in my other room.I also would love to know if there are any good resources that perhaps you used to migrate your system from Windows to Linux, I my ultimate goal would be to have my thin client to run Linux store all the FLACs I bought and use jellyfin for movies and stuff.Thanks for any tips :)

I have a sonos arc ultra in the living room of around 40 sqm. I would replace it with a Beam Gen 2 + Sub Mini + 2 x Era 100. Is that a good choice? I now use the arc ultra for TV & music streaming & vinyl via Sonos Port. 

SONOS Play:5 is connected to the router with ethernet cable but randomly ‘disappears’ from the SONOS app. At this point the router network map says ‘no product connected by ethernet’. Have changed the ethernet cable but with no improvement.All other SONOS products working OK with wifi or ethernet,

With the latest versions of the iOS app, when trying to play favorites or recent listens, I get the error “This content is not available” for any album in the shared library. However, using the Sonos app on a Windows PC, the same favorites play without any issues. Is this happening to you as well? Do you know how to fix it, considering Sonos support didn't go beyond asking me to restart the phone and reinstall the app?

The beam does not turn on , is  not working g with Alexa , and does not show up on Sonos app as being connected to the system anymore 

HiI have had the Sonos arc ultra since launch, I have this issue all be it very rare where I hear a loud sudden pop noise when playing content, the pop noise is much louder than the set volume.It's very random, I had it happen yesterday while watching HBO series The Outsider, it appeared to come from the right side of the soundbar. No idea what audio track was playing I think it was multichannel PCM 7.1, but had it happen with Atmos tracks as well.The last time I had the issue was a few months back I think, so like I say its not a common issue. Im sure I read a thread on here about a similar issue, but perhaps that was the original Arc, if there is a thread on the arc ultra with same issue, could someone link it here please. Thank you

I just purchased a Roam 2 and downloaded the Sonos App.  Connects to Apple Music easily, but there is no option to add Sirius XM.  I have a streaming account and the App is current.  I’ve seen others with connection issues - that’s not my problem.  SiriusXM doesn’t even appear as a service that can be selected.  

I am getting a crackling sound from my sonos arc, is it possible I blew out a speaker?  If so, what are my options?

When trying to pair my 2 Sonos Play 1’s with my Beam, the Play 1’s are not showing as options to pair.

Hello I have a problem with factory reset. Every time I have to explain to support that there is no way to properly restore factory settings. The blue diode is still on. I have tried everything. I have disconnected all devices and the rest of the procedure does not work. Support does not want to help me, they keep telling me to send some videos but do not respond. Have you had anything like this?

Newbie on Sonos, so apologies if this is a basic question.Sonos Era 100 is set up with my son’s Spotify account as the primary account.  It’s authorised and shows no connection issues.When using Sonos (not Alexa) voice commands to ask for a track contained in one of his playlists, it seems to constantly play completely different tracks.  When asking it to play a named Spotify playlist, it doesn’t respond.Is there a specific phrase that has to be used for Spotify content?Thanks
