Hi I have 2 Sonos 5 and I want to use them with my TV instead of buying a sound bar. Will the Sonos Port be the best option (more cost effective) to achieve this? Thanks

Have been listening to radio with no problems on my Play 1 and connect amp …..tried today and I get no connection as”server cannot be found”. I’ve tried everything!  I tried My Radio and others but no luck. …..reset router etc. Any ideas? 

When I play music via Spotify I can go to the next song by double tapping the play/pause button of my Sonos.Is it possible to switch between radio stations somehow in the same way?I have added 4 radio stations to “My stations” and would like to be able to switch between them without getting my phone out. 

Can the Connect Amp drive only 2 pairs of architectural speakers ?Only with the new Amp can do 6 ? TIA

I have had all 3 of my products linked to my original app for years. My wife left I changed system ownership, put wifi boosters in my house and when I did, randomly, my 3 kept working but my 1 and 5 aren't visible to the app. It doesn't allow wireless setup and I have factory reset both speakers and they still aren't visible. $1100 in stereo equipment that I am learning was designed proprietary to suck a degree it is literally the opposite of user friendly. Suggestions?? I'm thinking firepit at this point...

Hi, I want to control my Sonos system outside the range of my WIFI. Rather not open ports in router manually or have a unconvenient workaround. Is it possible to do this simple?

So I have Prime Video on my Firestick 4K, Roku Ultra - not the 2020 version, Chromecast built into my Sony Bravia. Jack Ryan always comes across as Dolby Atmos, on Fire Stick and Chromecast but other movies labeled Dolby Atmos don’t play in Atmos just Dolby Digital 5.1. Just wondering if it’s my system or is it just a fluke? 

Hi,I have a rather long room, with a TV on one end. I want to use an Arc for TV sound, but I feel it would need some extra speakers at the rear of the room to boost volume at that end of the room. There are actually two ceiling speakers at the rear end I could use.I’m not that interested in Dolby Atmos or Surround, I just want clear sound from the TV from the Arc at the front and the ceiling at the back. How would I accomplish that? Something like this - Arc direct to TV, Amp powering the ceiling speakers and somehow combine them in the software?Thanks,Eric 

Hello, my sonos one (gen 2) suddenly stopped working. As in I was listening to it in and suddenly it wouldn’t play the next song (I don’t know if it was inbetween songs or at the end of a song, I use spotify for my music streaming) and had compleatly shut off. No lights or touch controls working and no feedback at all. No connection within the app either. I’ve tried unplugging and replugging while holding pairing button (as to do a factory reset) but nothing happens at all, as well as restarting my router and plugging in a network cable. Has anything similar happened to anyone else? and if so how did you fix it?

So do you put the Sonos arc in the front of your entrainment center or the middle?

Are there any tips how to improve my Sonos connectivity? I have a play 5 and two Ones (stereo pair) in the lounge and a One in the kitchen.My internet is terrible and am forever losing connectivity to the different products.Any ideas will be much appreciated. 

I am torn what to buy. I am going to buy a Sonos system because I like the wireless option of it and Dolby Atmos. I have a medium size basement, my main priority for it is home theater for my 85 inch TV, but I also want it to be able to play good music the odd time. I want the best of the best. Do I go with the Arc, 2 subs, and 2 1's OR do I go with the Arc, 2 subs, and 2 fives? Home theater is the priority but music is important to me from time to time as well. What would you do and why? Will the fives take away from the home theater experience of it?

Hello,is anyone using Sonos Beam with a 2020 MBP 16 without optical port ?all I read is pointing to complicated solutions with a bunch of converters and cables.I would like to go for the Beam since I already own other Sonia devices but with all this complexity I am feeling compelled to go for another solution to get a 2.1 audio solution for my MBP.PS: Airplay does not feel like a good solution as it has lag

When a new song starts - it shows up on screen - in the right corner.  Who do I turn that off?

Hi, I have a gen 2 play 5 and am considering buying a second speaker to make a stereo pair.  The Play 5 doesn’t seem to be on sale anymore, so I am wondering if I could pair my existing speaker with the new 5?  Thanks.

It’s a long story but i want to use my Beam with my 2020 MacBook Pro which only has USB-C output. Sonos say this is not supported as Beam is made for TVs (with optical or HDMI-ARC output). I can hook it up via wifi but get a bad lag which can’t be cured. SO I got it working with following daisy chain: USB-C => HDMI adapter; HDMI => optical; optical => HDMI. It’s driving me nuts that it won’t just simply work with the USB-C => HDMI, as I understand that both USB-C and HDMI (from 1.4b) are supposed to support everything e.g. see this CNET report: “Dongles begone! HDMI Licensing has announced a new version of USB-C that has native HDMI support. That means you'll be able to connect compatible tablets, phones and laptops directly to a display without the need for a separate converter. A simple USB-C-to-HDMI cable will replace the $70 dongles that currently exist, though the source device will need to have been designed to output HDMI via USB-C. According to HDMI Licensing

Hi all After having spent the last 2 or 3 hours for an answer, I give up and come here to ask my question!I own a Philips 7300 series TV (exact ref is 50PUS7354/12) and plan to buy a Sonos Arc + 2 x One SL + Sub (3). Bought in november 2019.Given the cost I would like to make really sure those Philips TV actually have eARC HDMI ports.Everywhere it mentions ARC ports. However the TV supports Dolby Atmos, so I’m quite confused... Could someone confirm this information or help me to find it, before I spend this much money on the Sonos system :)Thanks!

Ok so I've found and bought a Sonos Connect that's compatible with S2 (serial begins with 1607).Now to get some outdoor speakers. I don't have an existing system, so no amplifier to connect to. I want to do this on a budget at the moment so what's the best option? I thought I could get a pair of 'active' outdoor speakers as these have a built in amplifier. In theory they can be connected directly to the Connect right?

Expensive Sonos Beam Paperweight? Known Sonos Beam & Samsung UHD TV HDMI e-ARC & Optical Issues from Several Customers for Months/YearsIt would seem that if there is a known HDMI e-ARC and optical HDMI converter issue between Samsung UHD TVs and Sonos Beams and Arcs (two products) by numerous customers that have been reported and remained unresolved for months and years, then by this point some type of an official definitive resolution or determination would have been made so as to not waste the time of frustrated customers or tech support.If Samsung TVs are definitively incompatible then please just say so I can return my new TV. I have also contacted Samsung tech support about this issue. No word yet. One would think that senior management and software engineers would have elevated this to determine if there is a software, HDMI-CEC firmware, newer HDMI e-ARC cable or other solution. The optical adapter doesn't help either.  Below are greater details into the issue I have been

Hi, having just set up the Arc and a Gen 3 Sub, I thought I would add Google Assistant. Unfortunately, when I get to the point, where it asks you to login to my Sonos account, it just say that my email address or password is incorrect! I checked and double checked my Sonos account details, and I am inputting the correct details. I have also uninstalled and reinstalled Google Assistant, but it still says my account details are incorrect. Now what? TIA

I bought a Port yesterday to allow my Turntable to play audio through my Sonos speakers.Prior to directly connecting the turntable, I brought up my old Denon receiver from 2003 in hopes of being able to connect that, and play FM/AM radio. (Mostly for Summer baseball games, we prefer the radio announcers over the TV ones)  But that receiver didn’t have a general RCA output to connect to the Ports input. It only had it via the Tape In/Out, but that only allows one device to be played.The stations app isn’t allowed to broadcast the games via stream, and I’m not going to pay for the MLB streaming app, since we only listen to our local team.But I also wouldn’t mind connecting my CD player, and old tape deck as well, so I have the option of playing all three media types through the port.So I’m curious who has a similar set up and which receiver they have to accomplish this.Much appreciated!

I have a Mycloudhome.  I loaded music folders and inadvertently had duplicated the folders in a sub-folder.  I have now cleaned the drive so there is only one incidence of each track.When I list tracks in Sonos Mycloudhome, every track is listed twice.As an experiment I deleted an album and it's tracks from the Mycloudhome completely and the tracks now appear only once on the Sonos list.  Where are these tracks if not on the Mycloudhome drive? How do I get rid of the duplication?
