I moved into a home where they had previously installed by Bose 4 outdoor speakers and 4 indoor surround sound speakers into the ceiling. They all run at 4-8 ohms ea... I know that its possible to run 4 speakers onto an amp, but the speakers HAVE to be 8 Ohms to do this (my understanding). My problem is whats the most cost effective solution while still maintaining a good sounding set-up? Do I have to buy 2 Amps for indoors and 2 for outdoors (with only 2 speakers connecting to each)? or am in the clear in connecting 4 to each since the speakers have a range of ohms from 4-8? My preference would be to just buy all sonos, but since the indoors are already mounted and the sonos have to be plugged in, I'd need an installer/electrician to come out. I'd prefer to avoid that since I'd have the additional cost of needing to buy new speakers as well.

How do I get my sonos one gen 2 to play the tv sound without being grouped with my Playbar and sub. My 2 ones are a stereo pair. I did add a different one because Best Buy had them on sale. Now when I added new speaker to existing sonos one, speakers will play in a group Playbar + sub and 2 ones 2nd gen. Now when I ungroup and play the 2 ones by themselves for tv sound there’s nothing. Then in order for sound to come through again I have to go to browse and tap the tv button. I don’t know what to do cause it worked fine before I added new speaker

Hi folks, I’ve had a look around on the forums for an answer to this, but couldn’t find one to a similar issue. I’m looking to replace my very old stereo amp and bookshelf speakers with a Sonos Beam to connect to my TV, with potentially a couple of One’s for rears and a Sub down the road. I have some vinyl and I’d like to hook up a turntable (and preamp if necessary) at some point as well. Is it possible to connect the turntable to a Sonos Amp and use that with the other Sonos speakers above? i.e. no external/ third-party speakers wired to the Amp? Would I add the Amp to the existing room, or create a new room and group the two whenever I want to listen to vinyl? Is there any way to only play vinyl through the Beam to get a (more or less) stereo sound, or will the vinyl effectively play in 5.1? I know a Sonos Connect is probably the more suitable option here, but frankly it doesn’t look as nice as the Sonos Amp! Thanks for your help.

Hi, Just looking for some advice about the Sonos Play:1 (Gen 1). There are some quite attractable deals on these speakers at the minute on Amazon. Having looked on a deals website, I've noticed several people mentioning the Gen 1 is not compatible with Apple Music due to 'Airplay 2'? My intention is to purchase three speakers, one for the living room, kitchen and bedroom. I would like to use my Apple Music membership and, have the ability to stream music to one room at a time or to all rooms (with the same music) however, I'm told via a deals forum this cannot be done, only via the Gen 2. Is this correct before I lose out on the deal? Thanks for the help! Antony

When I added two Sonos Ones to my existing Sonos-filled house last year, I was excited about Alexa integration. However, I disabled the Sonos skill within days because of the "Ducking all speakers" issue. My six Sonos speakers and Connect are unusable when linked to Alexa because of this real irritation to the entire household. I make no apology for again asking: "When will the 'all speakers ducking' issue be fixed?" Thanks.

Hello, I have two Play 1's (first gen) and I am looking into buying the Beam. I have two questions: [list=1] [*]Will the beam connect well with first gen Play 1's? [*]I am a cord cutter and everything is streamed using chromecast or fire stick through my tv. Is this an issue or will it work the same way? [/list] Thanks for your help.

I am using SmartThings and Webcore to automate a few things in my house. Before the latest firmware update I was able to use the status of my Sonos speakers in Webcore (eg "backyard switch is on") so that I could change the color of some interior lights (to remind me that music is on outside) and keep the smartlock on the door from automatically locking (we go in and out a lot to keep up with the demands of our 2 year old son). Sounds like the firmware update broke SmartThings/WebCore's ability to work with Sonos. I read that Sonos decided to change the xml schema in the zone data, which prevents SmartThings from identifying groups and players properly. Is there anyway I can downgrade firmware so that everything works again? I have no plans on using Google Assistant so Im ok losing "features" if this is possible. Thanks in advance!

So if this is going away and I have the Amp how am I supposed to play my music on the Amp without subscribing to a music service without a home computer? Seems ridiculous

my Sonos app wont run on the mac - message software is outdated

Does anyone know how many Watts rms sonos speakers have?

Hi. I'm probably missing something simple here so apologies in advance but im trying to link Amazon Music to my Sonos System but can't find it listed in "Add Music Services". This is not an Amazon prime streaming account but the basic music that I've bought and downloaded. The Amazon music app is installed and working fine. I'm going to around in circles trying to use the online guides so any assistance great fully received.

i have the playbar and sub and was thinking of adding two play 1's to make the surround system complete anyone know if this works with my existing TV Model LG 49UH661V TV please help

When google assistant will be available in Poland in Polish language ?

Hi folks yesterday morning my phone (android, 8.1.0) gave up connecting to SonosNet. Kept trying to connect and not getting an IP address. I tried some stuff, including resetting everything but now although the info tells me all my boxes are on WM0 (ie wired) and I'm on Sonosnet channel 1, the phone doesn't see the SSID, nor does my wifi analyser see anything on channel 1 - nor anything that corresponds to sonosnet. I have a newish Boost wired to the router, a couple of Play:1s, a Play:5, a couple of connect:amps and a connect. Can anyone help please? It's irritating because the sonosnet mesh system gets me so much better wifi coverage for the phone etc than relying on the router. cheers Dick

Hey all, I've got a Sonos Playbar mounted on the wall underneath my TV. I've also got a Sonos Sub separately. I was wondering if it's possible to adjust the bass level from the Playbar separately from the Sub. I've even be keen to turn off the Playbars bass entirely, and just have the Sub handling it. Thanks in advance for your assistance!

Greetings to the developer. Could you tell us what's new in the updated 10.3? Thank you

I'm selling a pre-owned ZP90 on eBay (in order upgrade to Connect:Amp) and a prospective purchaser is asking the age of the unit. Can I tell the age of my Sonos unit by the serial number or hardware version?

I just purchased a playbase and am running in-ceiling surround speakers with a connect amp. Is there a way to get these to revert to stereo sound when not watching tv/movie? It seems a little ridiculous to not have this option. My Denon receiver that I previously used is over a decade old and did this. I have tried everything that I can think of short of un-linking the surround speakers from the surround setup. Is there something else that I can do?

Hi, It is possible to use a Sonos Beam with 4 Sonos One Gen 2 speakers for 5.1 Surround sound, and if so, how well does it work/sound? Much appreciated Richard :-)

I have a Sonos Beam, and I have connected a pair of Play 3's as surround speakers. I now want to connect a pair of Play 1's to use as rear channel surround sound speakers. There doesn't seem to be anyway to do this? It looks like one one pair of speakers can be connected, and then only as the rear channel surround sound speakers. How can I accomplish this to have a Beam as the center channel, a pair of Play 3's as the front channel, and a pair of Play 1's as the rear channel?

I have a play 5 and lately i have the feeling that the sound is sometimes bad. can it be that we blew the speaker out?

I've got a pair of Sonos One speakers, been using them in separate rooms but set as a group for about a year now. I'm moving them into 1 room and I want to make them a stereo pair. When I go into More > Settings, then tap Room Settings, nothing happens. The item is in the menu, but it won't go to the page. I checked my software version, both speakers and the android device are at 10.3, build 51166240. I've tried restarting my router and the speakers, but it hasn't helped.

I recently received a message that "On This Phone" is being eliminated. How will I be able to play songs from my playlists on my Iphone?
