Hey folks, just wondering if the power cable with the play 1 white is black or white?

Does anyone have any experience or suggestions on ceiling mount installations of Play:1 or Play:3 speakers that do not involve the Flexson products? The Flexson ceiling mount would be perfect but they are ludicrously expensive and I have not found many alternative products available. I have a screened in porch that I want to place a speaker on that is entirely sheltered for about 4 months of the year with a vaulted wood ceiling and available power supply but can't find many more cost effective options for ceiling mount.

Is anyone else having an issue with iPhone X dropping Sonos? My phone will randomly not be able to find Sonos, while my older iPad has no issues(?) Thank you!

Can I use a connect amp to use the turntable with Sonos one?

I cannot switch the 2 Sonos connects to Variable volume. They are stuck on Fixed Volume. If I switch it in Room Settings, the setting changes, but when I go back to control the device it is still showing fixed volume without the ability to control the volume!!!! Frustrating. I also have 7 Connect Amps in this system...

I have Google Home and a Sonos Play:1 speaker. Sonos says that in 2018 the Sonos speakers will be compatible with Google Assistant but will that be a software change that will allow me to use my current speaker with Google Assistant or will I have to purchase a new Sonos speaker in order to be able to use the Assistant with Sonos? Does anybody know this yet?

Hi I am really confused as to the capabilities of Alex and controlling different rooms. I have 3 speakers, Sonos One with Alex, Play 1 and Play 5. The speakers are labelled in the Sonos app as Bedroom, Living Room and Nursery. If I say, Alex play Oasis in the Bedroom...should this work? I understand that multi room and grouping is not currently possible though? Thanks in advance

Hello, I have several "Music Groups" that I have used with Amazon's recent feature to play music simultaneously on several Echos. I have recently received my Sonos One and it appears that I cannot add it to any groups. Is it possible to play music simultaneously through my Sonos One in the living room and, say, my Echo in the kitchen?

The ability to set a sleep timer in the Sonos apps at the end of a chapter of an audio book would be much appreciated. Would this be something other members of this forum would find useful?

I have set up Alexa, with Sonos skill enabled in the app along with Spotify being default music service. I then try to ask Alexa to play a certain playlist/song/artist and I get the response of “Go to app and enable Sonos skill” which I have already done. Does anybody know how to solve this issue? One of the main selling points of Sonos One is Alexa Voice control with music services and currently can’t do this. Doesn’t anybody know how to solve this?

Would be it ok to unplug the connect amps periodically when I am traveling to allow time to cool down?

Hello; If I pause my TV for a while my Playbar stops playing the input. Before the last update it would go to 0 volume and then slowy fade up. Now it just doesn’t play at all. I have to go to the Sonos app and play Line In again. Anyone have an idea what may be going on?

Can anyone advise how to get the voucher re CR100 replacement - many thanks

I have 2 configurations I’ve been debating on for an outside inground pool sound system. Option 1: (1) Sonos Connect:Amp (4) TIC GS3 - each speaker is 100W and an Impedance of 8 Option 2: (1) Sonos Connect (1) Pioneer VSX-D411 Receiver/Amplifier - has 5 channels at 100W per channel with an impedance of 8 (4) TIC GS3 - each speaker is 100W and an impedance of 8 I’m leaning toward Option 2 due to the matching of the Watts per channel and impedance. The Sonos Connect:Amp says (2x55w) which makes me feel like I’m going to underpower the speaker and potentially stress out the connect:amp. It also seems like I won’t be able to maximize the sound of those speakers (which could lead to less quality). Am I right in thinking this? Or am I way off? I think I’m just looking for a nudge/confirmation that my instincts are correct. Thanks for any help the community can provide.

Hello Guys, I just got a samsung Mu7000 last week and today I got a playbar. The playbar sounds great but I would love to be able to control it with my universal control. But after spending an hour on the phone with sonos support (which is good btw) we accepted defeat. Has anyone got this combo working please? thanks Brian

Is there not a way to control the volume via Alexa for ALL speakers in a group vs one at a time?

I have two Play 5s 2nd gen which are paired with line in to right speaker from my tv. Sometimes - and it’s not clear what causes this - I get audio drop out. I have now attached both by Ethernet cables directly to the router - it’s improved but still getting some drop out. I have to use uncompressed setting to maintain lip sync. Is there an optimal set up to avoid the drop out? Thanks!

Basically, I'm looking for a UHD Blu Ray Player that supports HDR 10 and Dolby Vision that will resample the DTS Core to Dolby Digital for my Sonos surround system. It would be nice if this was an excuse to buy an Xbox One X! Thanks.

I understand when Apple (finally) releases the finished product, Airplay2 will only be initially supported by certain players, due to software limitations / capable processors. My question therefore, is will Airplay2 be an exclusive feature to the pre-named products (playbase, One and 5) upon launch only or will new Play:1s be manufactured with the capability after Airplay2 is available? I can’t work out whether this is an obvious answer i.e there will just be new products that support AirPlay2, for example Play:1 gen 2. Hope this makes sense.

SonosOne won't work. i have tried rebooting my router, and then Sonos. I checked on my app on my phone and it said update needed. when i try to update it fails with error 1101. I have seen others with this problem and all say to submit diagnostics. My conf # is 894856421. Help. I miss my music.

Can´t find device in Alexa app even though the Sonos is enabled? Is this not yet working in Norway? When checking voice services in the Sonos app it says "not available in your country". Is this the reason it won´t work? Thanks in advance

Hi, I’m a new (and happy) Sonos Play:1 owner, already looking to expand my system. I was browsing various used ads and found this, which seems interesting price wise but it seems to be older Sonos components. The seller doesn’t know much about the system, so can anybody here tell me what they see on the picture? https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/436312353477642 Would those components work with my new Play:1? Thanks, Pascal
