Hi Sonos family. Recently added gen3 sub to my collection. Running two subs now. Any advice on the best placement. Two either side of tv or horizontal? Any tweaking ideas to get the best sound possible? 

Hello, I was wondering i could get a little advice please.I previously had a Sonos playbar, set up with a optical cable that connected to an audio splitter box. On this box it has 3 hdmi inputs & 1 hdmi output. The PS5, media device & bluray player are the hdmi inputs - with the singular out put being a 4k epson projector. This set up has worked for me thus far with no issue with being able to change the hdmi’s whilst still having audio being sent to the playbar & associated sound surround. I must mention that the Optical cable is around 10-12m in length as its currently ran neatly around the room from place(soundbar) to place (projector).Now i have changed over to the Sonos Arc, I am a little perplexed as to how to proceed & would appreciate any advice available. Is there a way i can have the Sonos Arc connected to my already neatly ran optical cable & associated audio splitter box ? Am i best running a fresh HDMI cable from the Sonos Arc? But, if so - would i need

Hi,I’ve a Sonos Arc which has had the touch controls disabled until recently, and now I’ve discovered it is from a faulty batch that had an issue with the touch controls constantly enabling and disabling the mic. Raising the RMA was painless enough, however the Advanced Shipment option has an issue accepting credit card details to place a hold on my card until the faulty unit is returned.I don’t want to use the Standard Shipment option for a few reasons:1: I’ve a workaround in that I can disable the touch controls and the Arc behaves as expected2: I’ll be able to use the box the replacement Arc arrives in to safely return the faulty unit3: Shipping from the UK to Poland will leave me without a system for a week or two if I use StandardI called the 0800 026 1526 support number and the agent was very understanding, and explained there has been an issue with the advanced shipment section of ‘support.sonos.com’ accepting card details for a couple of months (I’ve seen other evidence of this

I have recently converted my music folder from MP4 to M3 and it is stored on my PC Windows 10.Thispc/music/MP3 On setting the new pathway it has solved most problems but a lot of the tracks on Sonos playlists still show as MP4 (even though there is only one pathway to the MP3 folder)  Some tracks on the playlists  play some do not.Have I missed something? Deleting and updating the playlists works but would take forever 

I have a Sonos Play:5 speaker, which I can’t currently get to work. I have a (white) Sonos boost, and a (white) Sonos bridge. Should I be getting this combo to work?Thanks

My Sonos move is no longer showing on my system tried unplugging and re plugging etc and nothing.

Having 3 gen 1 play 5s and a bridge and then some newer Sonos speakers like Soundbar, play ones, Roam, and beam - and having just moved - I’ll use at least 2 of the play 5s and the sound bar in a separate part of the new house and then the other newer ones in a different part of the house for surround sound mostly.  I believe the older play 5s require the older version of the Sonos app. Am I able to have both versions of the Sonos app on my iPhone with the older version controlling the play 5s and soundbar and the newer version controlling everything thing else? any suggestions on how to do the setups would be greatly appreciated.  

Would this setup work as a backdoor way to group Ace headphones with other speakers (or at least play them simultaneously)? If so, how exactly would I set it up?Here's my thought:- I already have a TV room with Beam, Sub-mini and two Ones as surrounds. Leave that room as it is.- Set up a new room with the Beam only, and another room with the two Ones and the Sub-mini only.- play music and select the two rooms. Then do TV swap, which would silence the Beam and play on Ace instead.Would the Ones continue to play the music aloud while the Beam music is transmitted to the Ace? If so, this would be great to allow me to leave the room and continue listening to the same music.If this would work, how do I do it? Can I have two rooms with the same components?

Would be helpful to me to have sound from a Sonos Ace and continue to have sound from a Sonos Beam at the same time. I think it cannot be done, I’m I right? TIA for any replies.

Not a major issue but I’m sure you used to be able to thumbs up and down tracks while listening to a playlist from Amazon music.Tapping thumbs down would skip the track and gave a message saying something along the lines of “we won’t play this track again”.Tapping thumbs up would give a message saying something like “we will play more like this”In the app currently, tapping thumbs up or down simply skips the current track?Is this on a list somewhere of issues to be fixed? ThanksGeoff

I know I can’t do the stereo with two devices, but hoping I can do two mono outputs from one iphone using bluetooth 

So I upgraded my setup from two 100’s to the full set of arc ultra, two 300’s and a sub gen 4. tv audio is amazing. Huge booms and the arc is astonishing compared to what we had before. however when playing vinyl (connected with cable  to the 100), the audio just feels flat. Adjusting the eq or level of bass on sub feels like it barely makes a difference. Have moved the sub around as well but it doesn’t change a lot. I had the 100’s with record player before, but the sound just seams to expand to the whole room when I select the surround system as well as the 100’s, rather than giving me more bass, more surround and a deeper level of the music. is it because I have the surround set connected wirelessly to the 100’s that are set up for the record player? Or also I have a small pre amp that’s pretty basic, just to get the job done. Is that something that’s causing this?

Hello, I am attempting to set-up my new Sonos system (Arc Ultra center speaker, 300s left and right rear, and subwoofer 4) and believe I may need to purchase an eArc adapter based on what I am reading (Epson LS800 does not support eArc on its own). Here is the set-up I am attempting to achieve (happy to hear feedback if this does not seem ideal):  Use the projector (Epson LS800) only for visual and no longer use it’s speaker, use X Box Series X for everything (gaming, streaming services, etc.) on projector HDMI 3 dedicated gaming port, use Sonos for all audio. I currently have the Sonos system set-up and loving how it sounds when streaming music to it from my phone, but still working on the set-up mentioned above and a bit confused.  Appreciate any feedback and advice! Here are two prior threads that I believe apply to this and could be helpful  And this is the device I see mentioned often online when I attempt to find answers, but seeking confirmation before I purchase and go this dir

so disappointed in Sonoscustomer service cannot help called twicewill not  power on at all should i even waste my money with another one

Hello , I recently added two Era 100s to my Beam Gen2 , my question is when i ask to play everywhere on my app to have all three units playing, both my Era100s gives distortion sounds not clear . the beam gen2 is directly connected to audio ARC HDMI and the Eras are on wifi. is there something i am doing wrong , and how can i get pure sure 

I have the ray connected to my kitchen tv. I am currently doing a remodel in the kitchen and I planned on putting in ceiling speakers in the cooking and prep area. It is possible to connect ray with the amp? That way I can hear more clearly a TV show while doing a cooking/cleaning task

How to turn on mic  

Airplay2 from iTunes (Windows) and Roon does not work on Arc Ultra and Era Speakers. (Other Sonos products is working well.)Playback appears to start, but the seek-bar remains stuck and no sound is produced.(Factory reset of speakers, and restart router did not work)

Amazed to see that I was actually able to create an alarm today using iOS app ( after several days of attempting to do it and troubleshooting with zero success,)  However, is defaulting to the annoying chime sound instead of playing music playlist.  Can we get an update from Sonos on what is happening? I am spending way too much time on this and trying to troubleshoot it on my end when it’s clearly something wrong on the back end  

I received an email from Sonos, and a follow up from Cambridge Focus Research to participate in a study.  The email did come from a Sonos.com email address.  Just wanted to check in to see if this is legit, and if anyone else received, and/or is participating.

Why 

Why? When was this EVER a problem? Ever since the car crash update 3 or more years ago blocking the use of iTunes playlists etc. You all know the one?! I have  had Sonos for a decade until that update it was stellar, since…. let’s not go there…. money spent Sonos do not care, obviously… sorry my router is in a cupboard... 

I would like to use two non-Sonos speakers for my rear surround. Please recommend me suitable products to be used for rear speakers,compatible with my Sonos arc.

Hi Everyone,Firstly I appreciate all your time in helping me figure out my system!To start, I will list the gear I have in this setup:Sonos Play1 (two) for left and right speaker surround sound Sonos Beam Gen1 directly under my TV  Sonos Connect Gen2 which connects to a basic record player from a company called U-Turn Audio, it does have a built in preamp that is usually switched on to strengthen the signal otherwise the volume level is quite low when a record is playingFirst question is with regards to an ethernet connection: does anything need to be connected to ethernet? Historically I have had at least one component connected to ethernet but as I understand it that is not a requirement outside of having a stronger mesh between your Sonos components.Second question deals with the Sonos Connect Gen2: I recently moved apartments and everything has been working except for the Connect which is connected to my record player (via RCA cable). After trying both input and output cable recept

I was finally able to get my Sonos One onto the network with my new router, after calling Sonos Support.I have added Amazon Music and SiriusXM as Content Services. When I ask Alexa to play Channel 31 on SiriusXM, Alexa says “playing Channel 31 on SiriusXM,” but doesn’t play anything. Similarly it tells me playing (selection name) on Amazon music, and plays nothing. If I use the Sonos app to select a song from Sirius or Amazon, the speaker Does play it.Also when waking Alexa, the Sonos One does not chime, the white light just flashes, which is unusual. How to fix these glitches?
