I want to turn off my Sonos One at night because of the status light - which is constantly on - in the bedroom. I have read that this is impossible short of turning off the plug. Two questions: [list] [*]Does putting this on standby disable the wifi? [*] I would like to find a way to shut down the wifi but again, it seems that this can only be disabled via ethernet cable and the app. [/list] Feature request: Can SONOS allow users to disable the wifi via the app, so we don't need to have a constant active wifi when we don't need it... Any other workarounds appreciated. Thanks

While setting up my Sonos Home Theater with Playbase, I ran into trouble turning off the TVs speakers and (I think) skipped the step where the TV's volume remote control controls the Sonos system volume. Everything else is working properly, but I can't change the Sonos system volume except with the buttons on top of the Playbase. Is there a way for me to properly use the TVs remote control volume to control the Sonos system volume without going through the whole setup process again?

We have had SONOS since 2013 and now have 8 speakers. Initially we used iTunes as the music library software, but kept having speakers drop, skipping when music was playing (25-30 seconds), and other problems. An IT guy has been working with us sporadically for more than a year (!) to try to sort this out. He recommended Plex, but I dislike the inability to use multiple genres (or any genres if not on the PC), and the emphasis on videos, TV and streaming, none of which interests us. And creating playlists is possible only on the desktop, not on an iPad. More recently, he put us on a trial run of Roon, but it still drops the first 20 seconds or so of songs, and unilaterally decides to skip songs we've placed into the queue. And at $499, it just isn't all we are looking for. (Plus, how can one play "Name that Tune" when the first 20 seconds are MIA?) I also tried Bliss, but it doesn't work well in Android as music management software. We use Android phones and iPads in various locati

Trying to understand how AirPlay 2 will work with Sonos. I have a Denon AVR x2400-h supporting AirPlay 2. If I would buy a Sonos one would my Denon receiver appear in my Sonos app? If so, can it be turned on as well? :) If not, then I suppose I would use my Apple TV, though then the same question, would the Apple TV appear in the Sonos app? Or would I only be able to Control Sonos via Apple TV.

Hi Does anyone know if it's possible to put some sort of In Line Volume Control when running 4 speakers from the new Sonos Amp Setup is 2 speakers in Kitchen and 2 outdoors. Issue is would like to be able to adjust the volume of each pair separately as the outdoor ones tend to be turned up more but then it's too loud in the kitchen. Any ideas? Cheers

How did SONOS miss this basic function? I don't like my speaker setup on 5.1 surround sound because the rear speaker volume is too low relative to the playbar and subwoofer. I would like to turn up the volume on ONLY selected speaker(s) and cannot. Even my factory car radio has a FADE function. Why doesn't my $2,000 Sonos Surround sound offer such basic functionality?

Hi there, Just playing around with the new Alexa integration - I have Play 1's dotted around the house, and a Playbar / 2 x Play 1 surround setup in my living room connected to the TV. No problems on the single Play 1's dotted around but have a problem with the TV surround. Normally the source input would be 'TV' and would play the sound from there, and when I say 'Alexa play *band name* in the living room' it happily switches to music from my Amazon Music account. All good so far. However when I say 'Alexa stop music in the living room' it stops the song, but leaves the song it was playing as the source input, so I cannot switch back to the TV volume without physically selecting it in the Sonos app. This obviously defeats the purpose of voice command control. Is there a specific command I should use or something I can do to rectify this using a voice command? Thanks in advance.

It appears my new Netgear Router (model # R6400v2) is not compatible with my Sonos 3 speaker. Any suggestions? Others having the same problem?

Is it possible to add songs to Apple Music playlists from the Sonos controller?

Hi, since yesterday Google Assistant is finally available in the UK. I have some speakers in the UK and others at my place in Spain. I only use one Sonos account registered in the UK. My Google account is also registered in the UK. However, when I try to use GA as a voice service, it tells me "not available in your country". I am currently in Spain, but that shouldn't make any difference as all my system is registered in the UK. Tried using a VPN but that doesn't work either. Alexa works fine with all speakers. Any help would be appreciated.

I have a Sonos Beam connected to a Sony TV by HDMI3 (ARC). Both are connected to the internet by ethernet cable using an unmanaged switch. When I ask Alexa to turn on the living room TV she fails to do so and says that living room tv is not responding. However, once the TV is turned on, then Alexa will respond to all the usual commands such as changing channel, changing input to HDMI2 or turning the set off. I think I have got all the settings right, but has anyone else experienced this and, if so, what is the solution?

Does anyone know if there is a way to use a tablet or phone as a Sonos controller only. i like the idea of using my old IPad just to control the Sonos without the faff of having to load up the app etc ? I know you can lock it into Sonos mode but this just goes back to the standard I pad menu once you unlock to shutdown .

I had a professional service install my Sonos system since they had to run power cables inside a wall. I am trying to "balance" the Play 1's for surround/Eq. I open the app, go to "more, settings, room settings. Nothing happens.Nothing happens when I select Add a speaker or sub. Is it possible for these settings to be locked out? Thanks.

So after finally supporting Google assistant I find that I've got a further wait ahead of me 'cause I don't live in the states. Great job yet again Sonos.

I am trying to develop my own app to play audioclips on my Sonos One (Gen1). I was able to generate the token for the authentication and correctly perform all the GET operations (e.g. https://api.ws.sonos.com/control/api/v1/groups/{groupID}/groupVolume) but not POST operations. All the posts return me a 500 Internal Server error without content. I am trying to perform this requests with Postman. Already tried to google my problem but the solutions I found implements a different protocol with node.js. Someone suggested to look for the requests made by the official application with wireshark but apparently it does communicate directly with the speaker (at its local IP address). Does anyone has the same problem?

I am trying to use a CR100 that I've not used for a long time. When I try to connect it to my system, it recognises when I press the two buttons on the nearest player, I goes the the Connecting. Please wait. This can take a few minutes Then This controller was unable to connect to a Sonos component. Please try again (1). I'm wondering if it's an issue with the software being out of date. My other CR100 which has been in use all along works fine. This one's been in the attic for a while. Grateful for any ideas! Thanks Patrick

I am sure its not meant to work this way but my issue is that my TV has to be turned on for my system to work. Optical Out from TV to Sonos Play bar HDMI Out from Apple TV to TV HDMI1 Airplay music from iPhone to Apple TV and TV needs to be turned on for Sound Bar to function. Really??? Thanks in advance if anyone out there sees my mistake and can suggest a solution where I dont have to turn my TV on. Thanks DG

I spent part of the day with the installer then a couple more hours on the phone with Sonos support. Still can't get ny new Playable + Amp x2 provisioned properly. Here's my simplified network topography: Internet ==> Arris BGW-210-700 ==> Cisco RV130 (gateway) ==> Cisco 3560cg (core switch) ==> Netgear GS108 ==> Playbase / Amp 1 / Amp 2 (wired connection) All of the Sonos gear lives in VLAN101, 192.168.20.0/23. The Netgear is wired into port 2 on the 3560cg. Also, off the Cisco RV130 is this path... ==> Linksys LGS 116P ==> Cisco WLC 3504 The WLC3504 broadcasts an SSID on the same VLAN101, Apple iOS clients will join that SSID to setup & then control the Sonos gear. After countless attempts to get the gear setup, both with each wired to the Netgear GS108 and each joined the SSID on VLAN101, I had no success. Sonos device based diagnostics informed us that multicast traffic is not being transmitted at all or at least properly. The Sonos device do obtain

So i'm about to purchase a system and was curious on the best way to optimize my set up affordably. What i'm wanting is a soundbar for the inside (living room) and 2 outdoor speakers for my patio; all obviously linked to my tv. Thoughts: Can I purchase a beam for inside (medium sized room) which connects to my amp (along with tv), and have an outdoor speaker pair connect to the amp as well? Just want to connect the 3 speakers in easiest way possible. I haven't purchased anything yet. I also have a PS4 i'd like to link up somehow as well.. Any thoughts or suggestions are much appreciated!

How do i get the microphone to activate. when i connected alexa on my sonos one speaker the microphone light came on.but when doing it on the beam there is no light or alexa.

Hello, I was wondering i want to set up a playbar with 2 play 1's do i need to also purchase a bridge or boost?

So, I keep most of my speakers in one group. For this example, let's say "Living Room, Kitchen, Bedroom". Since Alexa integration started, I've been able to name any of the speakers in the group, and it'll do that action for the group. For instance "Alexa, stop the living room" stops all three but leaves them grouped. "Alexa, Play Metallica on the Kitchen" Plays Metallica on all three (as long as they had already been grouped). In the last week or so, this has changed. Now when I name a speaker, actions happen ONLY to that speaker. So in the example above "Alexa stop the living room", it separates Living room from the group, and stops it. This means that the other two are still playing. Same thing if I use Alexa to start music. If the speaker I ask it to start on is in a group, it removes it from the group and starts it on just that one speaker. This is super annoying, and really defeats the reason I use Sonos in the first place. Does anyone know why this behavior has

Is there any way to switch back to listening to the tv after listening to music without your phone? If someone asks Alexa to play music, then wants to watch tv, you have to go find your phone to switch it back to TV. Doesn’t seem smart.

Hi, I have a stero pair of play 1’s in my bedroom but one of them keeps disconnecting? They were both connected wirelessly so I connected the one that disconnects with a wired connection through a home plug and Ethernet cable which worked after switching the speaker off and on again but it disconnected again. Any help would be nice, diagnostic code is 809052905.
