Did an app update remove access to this feature? The setting are not there under room settings

Currently running playbase, bridge, sub, play 1's for surround and have play 5 as room supplemental if needed. The base and bridge are direct wired into my Netgear Orbi router. Speakers are updated and current as of 03-25-2019. During all modes of playback the surrounds are clipping, it is incredibly annoying. I submitted diagnostics several minutes after the most current episode (conf code 332641865). Appreciate help if able.

So I have a Sonos Beam with Alexa, as well as two Play Ones in my room for surround sound. Whenever I say Alexa, then a command, I only hear the voice out of the Beam. Is there anyway I can hear the voice out of all of the speakers?

Slightly odd problem which started last week. When asking a Sonos One/Beam to play something, it is automatically grouping together all other Alexa-enabled Sonos speakers to play it. This is despite them not being grouped or other speakers even playing something else at the time. Earlier today, with the Sonos app open, I asked the One in the kitchen to play Radio One and watched in the app as it lumped all the Alexa-enabled speakers together to play Radio One - even though they were already in use playing other things. It doesn't seem to include the Play:1 in my set-up, though. I have a Beam, two Sonos Ones (not paired together) and the Play:1. If it helps, my diagnostic number is 1910432264. Thanks in advance (and hope!).

Has anyone had problems pairing Sonos playbar, etc with Samsung Q9 TVs ? A couple of reviews on Best Buy indicate that this is a problem. Would like to know before I purchase the TV

Hello gang. I am a long time SONOS user and love the system. i am up to 4 Play 1 speakers now and recently got the play base. I connected the base up to the TV and it's working perfectly - thank you SONOS. I am turning 2 of the speakers into rear surround sound for the playbase but my question is regarding my existing sub. I already have an amplifier with a nice sub. How can i link my existing sub to the system? i don't want to shell out $700 on a sub when i already have one. I was looking at the connect but some posts i read say it's NOT possible. Since the posts i found are a bit dated i rather ask and see if there some new updates to solving this issue. Thank you in advance.

Similar to how the beam automatically ungroups and start playing TV audio when the TV is powered on, I'd love to have the beam return to its previous group when the TV is powered off. I find myself manually doing this several times per day on both of my beams.

I want to play the Marantz through the Sonos speakers using Connect. I am using the PreAmp outputs on the Marantz, and the OPtical cable for the Sonos to play through the Marantz (which works fine). With the Marantz playing through the Sonos Connect I don't get much volume even when the volume control is up to full. What could be the problem?

I currently have a Sonos Beam set up of course as the sound bar for my TV. I also have an Audio Technica turntable with a built in pre-amp. Basically, I have two questions: 1.) Would a Sonos Connect or ZP90 (I've seen some used for cheaper) allow me to play my turntable on the Beam? I've read somewhere that the Beam isn't compatible with the Connect or ZP90 so I wanted to see if that was accurate information. I can't afford a Play5 so I'm trying to see if this option would work? 2.) I also hope within the year to purchase a couple of Sonos One speakers to link with the Beam for surround sound. Will I have any issues with the Connect or Zp90 working the turntable (and surround sound) once I expand? Is there anything else I should be aware of? I'm new to Sonos and new to comprehensive audio equipment in general, so I appreciate the help.

Hi there! I set up a Sonos Beam today and connected it to my Samsung TV (Q6F) via the ARC HDMI port, also installed Alexa and it's running smoothly for things like playing music on Spotify or checking the weather. But what remains unclear to me: to what extent am I able to control my TV via Alexa voice control? There's no list of possible commands out there, at least I couldn't find it? I picked up somewhere that it's possible to turn the TV on and off via Alexa, so I tried that: turning on actually works, while for turning off Alexa says "OK" without actually turning it off. Why is that? And are there any more things I can do, such as... ...switch the HDMI source via Alexa (i.e. "switch to Playstation")? ...switch the TV channel via Alexa (i.e. "switch to CNN")? etc.

Hi. Just set up a white Sonos Beam in the kitchen to discover that the power cord is black and not white as i would have expected. Given that other white products I have come with white power cords I find this a strange decision to supply black in this instance. Given that I have mounted the beam on the wall under the TV I now see the black cable against our white wall. Is there any chance I can source a white power cord for the Beam?

Thanks for your time. I know this is somewhat speculative as we don't have the Sonos Beam in-hand, but I'm planning to set up a 5.1 system with the Sonos Beam, Sub, and 2 Sonos Ones. My TV is a Samsung KS8000. By your best estimation, will the following setup work for passing 5.1 sound from video games? 1. PS4 -> HDMI -> TV (PS4 Audio Format set to: "Linear PCM" 2. TV -> HDMI ARC -> Sonos Beam + Sub + Ones (TV Audio Format set to: "PCM") I've done some cursory research, and I believe with the PS4's Audio Format set to "Linear PCM" and the Samsung TV's Audio Format set to "PCM", then 5.1 will properly pass-through to the Sonos system. But my vocabulary might be off and I might be misunderstanding what PCM does. If I set my PS4 to output "Bitstream - Dolby Digital" instead of PCM, the TV automatically changes from "PCM" to "Dolby Digital". Would these settings, versus the ones mentioned in the previous paragraph, make any difference in achieving 5.1 with Sonos? I saw menti

Having issues my default “Alexa play some music” starts my Deezer flow on Sonos in the room I’m in, at random times the songs will just skip on to the next track. If I use the iOS app on my phone to start the “flow” it doesn’t skip. Any one have the same issue?

It looks like the new amp only has one HDMI input. I would like to get rid of my audio receiver which I run the TV, turntable and the Apple TV through. Will it be possible to run these devices through the new Sonos amp? I know I can run the turntable and the TV but how would I add the Apple TV to this device?

If I ask Alexa to play music from a specific artist, the typical response is “shuffling songs by [artist name] from [my name’s] Spotify on Sonos.” Then no music plays. How do I troubleshoot this?

So i'm wondering if it's possible to use Sonos speakers with the new HomePod. So for example, maybe using two home pods instead of the playbar, but still using a sub, and 2 play ones? I have yet to hear the audio from a Sonos system or the HomePod and just trying to figure out what will work best for me. I use all Apple products, so if the new play ones will support Siri and airplay 2 then i'm probably sold on an all Sonos system.

I had just been getting a few iPod gen 2s specifically to use as Sonos controllers. I'd got two of them in, and installed the old app before the new App came out yesterday. Unfortunately I hadn't yet downloaded the old app to the third before it was updated yesterday. The new app reports as not compatible with my third Gen2. How can I get the old one & install it?

Hi all. I have sonos amps and wired speakers throughout my home but would like more bass in my great room. Can this Klipsch Reference R-10SWi be added to the newer sonos amp wirelessly? I have 4 wired speakers in my ceiling wired to the sonos amp and want to add a cost-effective sub. If this Klipsch won't work, what will besides Sonos subs? Does the sonos amp provide enough power for my 4 speakers and a sub?

I have a Beam which I like, but I would prefer a bit more so I'm thinking of getting some play 1 for surrounds. However, most of my smart home is Homekit so I would like a Homepod. I pretty much only watch TV through an Apple TV so I know I could connect up a Homepod through this. My question is, has anyone used a Beam and a Homepod at the sametime? If it's even possible, I'm concerned it would create a bit of an odd effect. The only things I can find online are comparisons between them rather than both at once! Thanks

So I've seen quite a lot of posts about this topic, but haven't seen this one specific question: I realize that google home isnt officially supported by sonos yet. But is it possible to simply use the sonos one as a speaker for google home? Let's say I want to listen to spotify, tell my google home that I want to listen to spotify and the sound just comes over the sonos speakers? I don't mind if there is no group support or microphone support of the sonos one yet

I accidentally left my Connect in a place where it got [b]rain on it[/b] and now it doesn't work. I have tried to let it dry out. Is there any way to fix it or is it beyond repair? :(

Ok guys I want to be able to put speakers in all my room. And be able to say play music in my room, kitchen etc and the music plays in that room. Or do on my hue app to play in that room. Does anyone know how to set up that system. Regards Ian

Can anyone at Sonos provide some info on using the forthcoming Amp with a pair of Left and Right Speakers to give good stereo for music plus rear speakers for TV surround sound. I’m wondering if Trueplay would work with a pair of Play3s as rear speakers plus some other make I already have connected to the Amp plus maybe a Sub. Or is the Amp really for just a 2 speaker stereo left/right setup?

I have a Playbar set up in one room and one Play:5 stereo pair set up in a second room. Is it possible to add a Sub to a third room and then group the third room with the first only, with the second only, and with both the first and second?
