Will alexa skill be able to play from my music library?

Hi, My husband and I have separate paid google play accounts (with our own preferences in each). We've recently updated the sonos app and are having difficulties to set up two sonos accounts to be used on our home system (one playbar and several play 1 around the house). Further on, once google assistant is available in Poland (it's not available for us over here yet!), will it be able to recognize our different google accounts? Any advice on how to set up multiple sonos accounts on the same sonos system? We don't want to mix our music preferences / configs under the same sonos account. Thanks!

Hi guys, I just purchased a Klipsch home theater system and I am hoping to also connect speakers in other rooms to the system as a separate zone setup for wireless. I was planning to try to run wires through the condo, but it's a pain, so I was considering getting the rocketfish wireless unit just to connect to my Onkyo's zone 2 and 3 outputs. I've recently come across the Sonos and I am wondering if it can help me achieve the same thing with better quality and also I hope you can help me figure out the most cost-effective way to do this (do I need to get a Sonos connect:amp for everything? What else do I need to get everything going?). The background: I purchased a Klipsch reference bundle, but ended up getting the reference premier set as well. Now I will be selling the reference subwoofer and center speaker and the yamaha receiver that came with the reference bundle, but keeping everything else. Here is my hopeful plan if you guys can help it come to fruition: Home th

I am trying to connect my Visio TV to my Sonos connect through the RCA inputs on the Sonos connect. Does someone have detailed instructions on how to set it up. I currently have my iPad streaming through the Connect with no issue. Just can’t figure out how to tell it to change to the RCA inputs Thanks, Drew

Hi folks, I am moving back to London and want to take my Sonos speakers. Are they fine on the 220-240v circuits the UK has opposed to the US standard of 110v?

Everyone-- Hello. I've recently bought Sonos speakers for our living room setup (Playbase, Sub and Play:1's). When I'm listening to Music through the speakers, everything sounds great. However, when I listen to anything which is routed through my TV (Cable or AppleTV). There is some random cutting in and out of the sound. It still somewhat plays, but gets very quiet and then will go back to normal sound or will sound like it loses the surround sound aspect of it. Here is my setup. Samsung TV - UN65MU8000FXZA - Digital Audio cable from TV to Sonos TimeWarner Cable Box - Connected to TV via HDMI cable Apple TV - Connected to TV via HDMI cable Is there any fix for this? Helpful hints to make sure I have my TV set up correctly through the digital audio cable? Thanks!

Have an epson 2150 hooked to a sonos 5. The sound comes through and also can be grouped with other sonos speakers. The sound however is several seconds behind the video (very annoying for watching movies). When the sound comes through the projector it is synced. Is there a setting in either the Epson, sonos or perhaps both that adjust this audio lag? Thanks Glenn Bonagura

Hi! I just helped my parents bye a Sonos Beam to get better music experience when watching TV and concerts. It’s all connected and fine. But I can’t turn the music up high! What should I do?

We have been hearing for over a year now regarding the Google Assistant integration. When is this going to happen? The Alexa assistance is horrible.

One of my Android controllers upgraded itself to 10.2 today (despite NOT having auto update enabled) and lost connectivity. A few days ago this controller, which I stress did NOT have auto update enabled started to update its software from 10.0 and I managed to prevent this. Initially, I wasn't too bothered since sonos touted their update as 'performance and reliability improvements' and didn't think any issue would ensue. Generally I do like to run updates. In order to keep things level and have a hope of keeping my devices with the same version (i.e functional) I updated my other controllers. 10.2 I later found has prevented access of my wireless controllers to sonosnet. So, now, when I'm stood next to a wired player, which is a considerable physical distance from my router I now have to walk with my phone (or other wireless controller) so that I'm within connectivity distance to my router's reception so that I can control the features of the device that I was stood next to. I

One of my Sonos 3 speakers was lost from my system and I can't reconnect it. My daughter was running it from the app on her iPhone, but I use the Sonos controller. The speaker is no longer listed in my rooms. Tried everything. I sent in a diagnostic, conf # 101785643 that you can check. Any suggestions? Rick

After the outage earlier today I finally have everything working and I couldn't be happier (I can play, pause and change volume on my old Play 3s with my voice which is all I wanted for two years now). But it's a little unfortunate that in a room with (1) a Google home and (2) a sonos speaker, I still have to append "on the kitchen Sonos" to my requests to begin playing music (otherwise the music plays on the answering Google device). The Google home app lets you configure what the default device is for playing music, and it lists not only my various Google speakers but also my vizio TVs on the network, etc., but it strangely doesn't list my sonos speakers. Is there a way to make this happen?

My TV is a dinosaur, no optical, two HDMI, NOT ARC, etc. Can I connect my Beam to my receiver as a workaround for an old TV? If that doesn't work, is the next best option using a HDMI Arc converter? Thanks

i have a ONE speaker connecting my laptops around the rooms. I find i cannot play the audio from TV with the speaker. because i am thinking to buy the beam, i would like to check if i can use them paired for these purposes: -playing music from laptop with ONE/beam/ONE+beam -playing videos from TV with audio output with ONE/beam/ONE+beam thanks

I have two Sonos systems, in different locations, each with an Echo Dot on the same WIFI. I have one Amazon account to access Alexa. How can I setup Alexa to work with both systems? Setting up one system goes as expected, and I choose which of the two systems I want to connect. The choice of system is a radio button, and I cannot choose both systems. When I try to setup the second system, Alexa cannot find any Sonos speakers, using the add devices feature of the Alexa app. If I disable the Sonos Alexa skill and reenable it, I am able to connect to the second Sonos system (again, by choosing it), but now cannot connect to the first. Is it possible to use Alexa with two different Sonos system?

Apologies as this is the second vinyl question I’m asking in less than a week, but I recently received some conflicting information from a friend vs. what I read on here last week... I have an existing Sonos setup with (playbar, sub, and 2 play 1s). I want to introduce a turntable to the mix and know I need get a connect or a connect amp with a line-in. I want to use my existing Sonos speakers only and have no external speakers to add. Please correct me if I’m wrong, but in the above scenario I should be fine with just the connect, as I don’t need an amp? Is that correct. My friend is telling me I still need the amp to get the “right sound”, but I don’t think he’s right Also, any recommendations on a great turntable that won’t break the bank? Thank you all again!

Will the phantom center speaker, produced by the Sonos Amp, be of lower quality if the Amp is fed only a stereo input signal, compared to if the Amp is fed a true 5.1 surround input signal?

I have a playbar connected to my LG OLED 55" TV via optical connection. I would like to add rear surround speakers. I was considering a pair of Play1s for this purpose. However, since the Architectural in Ceiling speakers are now available would this be a good option? there are a pair of unused speakers from my house's original owner already in place in the ceiling so this would be an easy install. Questions: [list=1] [*] Dolby surround speakers are supposed to be 1 foot above ear level. Would using "ambient" speakers at ceiling level degrade the listening experience? [*]. I realize the Architectural in Ceiling speakers were intended to be used with the Sonos AMP. However, I have an unused Connect AMP. Would it be possible to use this unit, instead? if it is possible: would I loose performance or features by doing so? [*]Would I still need to run Ethernet cables to the Playbar and the Connect AMP? [/list]

Hello, new to Sonos products. Just purchased a Playbar and Sub. Ive seen the 5.1 setups by adding two Sonos Ones. In place of the Ones, could I side Play 3 or Play 5 speakers to complete the 5.1? Anyone have any advantages/disadvantages of those in place? I’m not really concerned about the extra $ of the 3s and 5s.

i have two plays 1 and a beam setup and would like to hang the plays on the sofa sides. Do you have any recommendation for a sofa which is close to the wall? See picture. Thank you for you answers!![img]https://uploads-eu-west-1.insided.com/sonos-en/attachment/0b777f54-4945-40ed-87db-54c7810c0a9e.jpg[/img]

Hi all, I’m planning on moving my 2 x Play 1 speakers from behind my sofa to two different walls either side of the sofa. Is there a minimum/maximum height I should place the speakers to ensure I still get the same surround sound? Needs to be child proof too which is part of the reason for moving them. Thanks!

Hi Have a room less than 200 square feet I use for my man cave, have a bit of a noise problem in my community. Looking at the Playbase +2 Play:1 speakers for watching TV and listening to music, mostly watching TV. Is this a reasonable set up and will I able to use my[b][u] android[/u][/b] phone to configure to the room? Thanks in advance for any feedback. fjwag3
