I have all my music organised on iTunes. I would be willing to use another software for music organisation. I have recently begun using streaming services for music (spotify, Youtube) My current setup is 2 x Sonos One's for music that i play through a smartphone. and separately a 35yr old receiver/amp and bookshelf speakers that are top quality that i use as computer speakers. I would like to combine the two systems Can i get a Sonos Amp and connect my bookshelf speakers to it, also control 2 x Sonos One's and direct control via either phone or computer? Does the Sonos Amp require the software on the computer to run? Are there limitations on the proposed setup? Youtube works through my current setup..... Is there a way to run a Sonos based system without the software?

I'll be at a music festival where wifi is unreliable at best. I know I can get a Lightening to RJ45 ethernet adapter, so I'm thinking I can play my music on my sonos 1 through the ethernet connection. Will this work? Any tips/suggestions I should know so I can make it work?

Hi All I've purchased a Beam along with a Flexson Adjustable Mount which allow mounting of the Beam upside down, eg, under a kitchen cabinet. Does anyone know how to configure it so that the left and right channels are swapped for correct stereo. It doesn't appear to happen automatically. Thanks

Hi, I have a Rega P2 turntable with amp and speakers. I also have a sonos 3 and want to start using my vinyl through a sonos so we can play in other rooms. Is this possible? what do I need? how do I do it? Thank!

I've been searching for the answer for this for a few days and I suspect it is simply "doesn't work like that", but hopefully someone can help me. TLDR: Can I tell Alexa to play music on all Sonos speakers if the speakers are already in individual Alexa groups? --- I have a couple of Sonos speakers with Alexa built in, all works well, and I love that the integration keeps improving over time. I'm trying to get to grips with Alexa groups and it's not working how I expected. I have a Beam in the lounge, and a One in the kitchen. They are in Alexa groups with other devices in each room, eg Alexa group "Lounge" has some smart lights and the Beam as the preferred speaker. I have it set up this way so that I can say things like "turn the lights on" without specifying the room. I can request music in the same way "play blah" and it works, and I can say "play blah in the kitchen" from the lounge and that works too. So far so good. What I want to be able to do is say "play bla

How can I play the songs from my sonos library to the headphones on the iPhone? If I'm in the garden and within wifi range I want to listen to the music that's not stored on the iPhone via the sonos app. The iPhone should just be another device connected to the sonos app

I am adding a new zone to an existing multizone setup. This will be a zone connected to a home theater receiver, to allow the home theater speakers to be used as a Sonos zone when the TV is not in use. The consultant I am working with has spec'ed a Sonos Connect for this setup. I have an old ZP80 that I am not currently using. Can I put that in, instead of buying a Connect? The rest of the system uses ZP90's connected to amps and ZP100s connected directly to speakers. Also, if I use the 80s and 100s in my system, will I have any compatibility issues if I want to add new units later, such as SUBs or PLAY:1 (or :3 or :5)? Thanks for your help.

Hello there - I need help regarding my Sonos One and Sonos beam speakers with Alexa. When I ask Alexa a regular odd ball questions she responds just fine something like “how far is the moon” or “who won the game last night” - but when I tell her to go through my flash briefing she says “here’s your flash briefing” than crickets/nothing happens..... or something like “play John Mayer in Apple Music” and she responds “to do that, the skill needs to be activated in the Alexa app.” Or something of that nature. The thing is - all of these things are enabled and music/media accounts are all linked up. It was working properly before but now it doesn’t seem to work ever. I even when as far as resetting all 4 of my speakers (One; 5, Beam, and play 1) and restoring factory defaults and re set up all of my speakers. I am definitely at a loss. Any help or feedback is definitely appreciated - sucks I paid this much money for speakers that the wireless “voice” functionality doesn’t work. Thanks

Rear speaker positioning for a 5.1 setup. Should the rear speakers be facing in towards the room or straight ahead? When I have them forward facing, I barely hear anything 'behind' me. When I angle them in towards my ears, it is much more immersive. I have true-tuned the room.

Hi, when someone is using Alexa in the kitchen it makes my speaker go quiet in my study - which is obviously annoying - how can I stop this ?

Hi, Looking at replacing my echo dot in the bedroom with a Sonos One. Will it work with the amazon smart plug I have set up for lights? Thanks, Andy.

With Netflix announcing support for Dolby Digital encoding at up to 640 kbps (ignoring Dolby Atmos for now), will those of us with PlayBars or PlayBases be able to take advantage of the higher encoding bit rates, or are we stuck at 192 kbps? What is the highest bit rate that our products support via optical audio connection?

Hi, I have 2 CR200 controllers. The first one has worked OK and updated OK till recently, then I got a second one that had been factory reset. I then mistakenly did a factory reset on my original one and now both of them will not update. Both of them are showing update now button for version 9.2. It gets to downloading, and then says there was a problem .

Is it possible to stop the volume drop that occurs when someone uses alexa via one of the sonos speakers? I'll be listening in another room and it causes my music to drop in volume. This can be annoying. I understand why you'd have this occur in the room you are in but if someone in the loving room uses alexa to turn on a light my music shouldn't drop in volume in the bedroom.

Can I add a ZP120 to my Wifi network to play outdoor speakers and have it sync with all the other Sonos Speakers without a bridge?

When, if ever, will the matte black SUB be reproduced? I refuse to buy the glossy version after seeing a friend of mine's scratched and dust covered. On top of the cosmetic damage the SUB doesn't look right with the other products on the shelf currently!

Hi all, new in this community. I own playbase and 2x play 1`s to sound TV and Spotify music for about 1 year. Great experience indeed. Recently I experienced issue with the surround play 1 (both) they got disconnected and cannot be hooked back on after reboot. I though it could be my wifi router since this was about 4 years old. So I purchased dual one and kept 2,4 Ghz on for Sonos. However it did not solved my problem so I reset all speakers and install them as a new sound system. Got playbase wired with TV cable (cox?) and ethernet directly to the wifi router. Satellites are properly paired and added to the group. So far so good, now the tricky part. The play 1`s do not play sound (tv, iphone library ....) but I can operate the buttons as before and control sound on playbase as this is the only speaker from the group what works just fine. Any idea how to troubleshoot? In setting I do not see any ? marks next to the room name. thanks a lot for any help.

When i ask alexa to play music in one room in my house she stops music playing in other rooms with sonos ones. Music is played via spotify. Its driving me mad. Any suggestions anyone?

I upgraded my receiver to a Denon AVRH3500H from a Yamaha RX-V677 recently. Previously, when using Spotify on my iPhone, I could connect directly to Sonos. Now that option is not there. I can connect to Denon directly via Airplay through Spotfiy but it only plays in my front speaker on my 5.1 speaker set up. The Sonos is ethernetted in to my wifi and connected to the Denon through coax through Cable/Sat 1. THANKS!

In order to control the volume of a sound system through my Sony TV/remote is to connect to the tv with a HDMI cable. The Sonos sound bar connects with a optical audio cable so I cannot use the remote to control the volume of the Sonos. Can anything be done.
