Is it possible to have a controller app that the users can choose the language themselves? I'm in Hong Kong and normally the people here set their phone in Traditional Chinese... However, when we installed the controller app, it will be in Simplified Chinese... Therefore, I could only set my phone in English as default and so the app is now in English. I just wonder if the SONOS team can update the app with choices for the users?

In the 10.1 app update there was a feature called recently played under the My Sons tab, however since the 10.1.1 update this is no longer appearing. I am also not getting My Sons Settings under Settings where this option can be turned on/off. I have done a controller reset and tried setting it up again. Anyone having the same issue?

Hello, Is there any benefit at all by adding just a single Sonos one to my beam? Eventually I want to complete the surround sound feel but have the option to get a sonos one now from a family member. I have a smaller living room. Thank you,

Hi, Playbar hardwired to network, optical in from TV, wireless for sub and 2 x Play:One. For a few months now the TV remote has taken 3-5 seconds for a volume adjustment to register via the Playbar - including the LED acknowledgment of the IR signal. I need to hold the volume button down on the remote for that long to action an adjustment. All other TV remote functions are processed immediately, so it doesn’t appear to be a problem with the remote itself (I’ve already tried new batteries etc). This wasn’t an issue for the first few years of ownership (TV hasn’t changed), so on the face of it seems to be a software update issue within Sonos? I’ve tried a full factory reset of all components and setup the remote again, but no difference. Diagnostics uploaded - 529557269. Cheers

Would someone be so kind as to help clarify whether there is a function to ungroup all? I have three rooms set up in Alexa groups, each with an Alexa device and a Sonos speaker set as the preferred the speaker. I also have created one group called “everywhere” that contains all three Sonos speakers set as the preferred speakers. Most of the time I just listen to music in a particular room and the preferred speaker functionality works brilliantly, only having to ask the local Alexa to play music and not specify the room. Occasionally, I would like to play music in the whole house which I can do by saying “Alexa play music everywhere”. This creates a Sonos group with all three rooms in as expected. However, this group then sticks and asking for music in any room, even after stopping the previous music, seems to result in it playing on the whole group again. I’ve worked out that I can break the group up by saying stop the music in X for each of the three rooms (i.e. thre

I’m looking to upgrade my outdoor audio and hope to integrate it to my outdoor theater setup. My goal is to use the new AMP to power my new outdoor speakers but I would also like to use this new speaker setup as the audio for my projector. The problem I see is getting the video to the projector and audio to the AMP with a new AppleTV being the source. My Epson EX9200 projector unfortunately does not have any outputs and only inputs and the new AppleTVs don’t have the optical out like they used to so what would be the best way to get this all working? TIA, Daniel

I use a Mac running MacOS X 10.9 Mavericks. I've been totally fine with the status quo of the past 3 or 4 updates that have limited the usability of my desktop controller but still allowed me to edit the queue and add music services. That's about all I need from my computer. But I made a horrible mistake to assume that the status quo was going to last forever. I didn't read the release notes for 8.4 before updating and now it says I have to update my entire computer's OS, which is not an option for me. I wasn't expected MacOS X 9.0 support to be completely dropped with an seemingly insignificant incremental update (it was the update to 8.1.1 that killed it for me I think), and I think that a warning that my controller will become essentially bricked should be displayed before updating. Is there any possible way to downgrade my system's software from where it is currently (8.4) to 8.0 or below? I don't have any Sonos ONEs so that's not a problem. Or, if that's not feasible, are there

So, I know the Amp do does not have Alexa built in, but I like to use Alexa voice controls to start streaming music. Could I use an Echo dot connected to the line in jack on the Amp to stream music through speakers connected to the Amp? Seems like this should work.

I have audio sources connected to the Line In input on my Play 5's. What is the Alexa syntax to play the Line In on a Sonos speaker? e.g., Alexa, Play Kitchen Line In on Bedroom Sonos TIA Don

Hi, I recently bought 2 x Sonos Ones purely for the Airplay functionality and being able to stream from desktop. However, despite seeing the speaker choice in the mac's output setting and being able to select it, no audio actually routes to the speakers unless I am in iTunes. I can see in the Sonos app that is receiving play information from Airplay, but no actual output. This should be possible correct? I have been able to route system audio through airplay enabled speakers before. I am running Mac OSX 10.12.6 and V 9.3 on the Sonos Ones. Thanks

Google Home and Google Assistant with Sonos

I have a new Sonos smart house system, and a Mac 10.10.5 with all of my music on it. I am trying to access the music directly from Sonos. The "easy" Sonos online instructions say all I have to do is download the Sonos App, click +, etc and all will work. Only problem is that there is only one App, and it is ONLY for Mac IOS versions 10.11 and higher? Is there no way to get an older App, or otherwise access my music library? (I have a new X iPhone with the library sync'd to it).

I've just replaced a dead amp with a new one. But the system thinks the dead one is still on the list of rooms, even though it's been thrown away. How does one remove it?

I have a basic question; how do you switch the source from from wireless streaming to RCA inputs? Also, I am not able to locate a user manual for the Sonos Amp..Is there one, and if so, where is it hiding?

Is there a way we could set a turn off time for some of our speakers? My daughter often doesn't turn off her speaker when she falls asleep and on a few occasions the hot tub (connect amp) was left on after people came inside. The same way it can be turned on with the alarm it would be great to be able to set a "turn off" alarm.

When I first set up my connect with my Sonos ready Onkyo receiver, the Sonos app would switch the inputs on the Onkyo when I selected music to play. Now it will not switch. I have to manually do it with the remote. Any idea's? Thank you.

I would like to play "made for you" songs from Spotify through my Sonos speakers without having to download each song. If I could run Spotify through Sonos bluetooth speakers without having to go through the Sonos AP this would solve the problem I think. Is there someway that I can do this?

I have had Sonos is the home for over 14 years with no issues, however we have recently added the beam which is connect via ARC to our sMSUNG tv. We are experiencing daily drop out where we have no sound from beam, to resolve we have to unplug, and re connect....The speaker selection keeps changing from Receiver to tv speakers, so annoying.....advice please

So I just bought a fire Cube for my TV. I also have a Sonos Beam. My TV is from 2015 and doesn't have HDMI Arc or optical input, so using the adapter I connected the beam directly into the cable box optical input for sound. Now I bought the cube and have it into an HDMI input but cannot get sound at all. Does anyone know what the solution would be to my overall setup so that the beam provides sound no matter what input I am on? I realize I probably need some sort of adapter but I'm not sure which one or how it should be setup. I really appreciate any advice/input. Thank you!

Glad to see we finally have proper Alexa integration with Sonos. Have been using Sonos speakers since the company first launched. I currently have a bedroom setup consisting of a Playbar and a Sub. Separate to this, I have an Echo (that I use primarily for news, not music). With the release of the new Sonos One with built in Alexa, I'm thinking of ditching the Echo and adding two Ones to have a proper surround setup My questions: If I ask Alexa a question (weather, news), will the response be played back across all the speakers in the same room or just one speaker? If I ask Alexa to play music (from Spotify), will it be played in just one speaker or all speakers in the room it is paired with? Thank you

My friend convinced me to buy Sonos, and he showed me how to get music streaming to it. But he likes to mess with people. So every time he's over at my house now, he changes the music stream from his phone - just to fluster everyone. I've changed the Sonos password online (i.e. from a Windows computer, via web browser, log in to sonos.com and change my Sonos profile password). As I recall, that's the same password I used during the Sonos speaker setup. But after changing that password and restarting the Sonos Mobile app on my phone, I am still able to access my Sonos system without being prompted for a new password. How do I lock my prankster friend out of Sonos while still allowing him to use WiFi when he's at my house?

I'd like to get a 5.1 system but was wondering how well the Play:5 works instead of the Playbar. Hoping to use the Play:5 as a great music source for other times when not watching movies.

I have a Beam and One currently. The speakers are in adjacent rooms and I'd like them to always both play by default when starting music. Anyone know of a way to do this? Seems like something basic that should be supported.

I just ran the most recent update of the controller on Mac (version 8.2, build 39247040). I notice that Pandora created a new subfolder of "My Stations" and inside of that, my stations are sorted by date most recently played. I'm sure that was requested by some users, but is of no use at all to me. I want to browse channels alphabetically as it has been. Is that a preference I can change or is this the new sort order we all have to use now?

When I browse artists in music On this Phone, an album art is pulled and displayed as an icon for the artist. When I browse Music Library it does not. I’d like to suggest an updated to fix this please.
