Can I have my tv in great room play on my kitchen ceiling speakers. We are doing new construction so wiring options are open. We plan to have several Sonos zones with connect amps but would like to be able to hear tv in kitchen when prepping food and not have tv volume maxed. Thanks

Simple question: Are there any tv-sets that will transcode all audio to Dolby Digital? I have several Sonos 5.1 systems throughout my household, including a Playbar, a Playbase, a Playbeam plus sub and surround-speakers. I have a Samsung BD Player that transcode any audio to DD 5.1 and my Apple TV does the same which generally my issues with DTS and Dolby Digital Plus on these systems. However, my Chromecast can't do the same trick - meaning that I only get stereo on Netflix via the Chromecast - and in the future I might have the same issue with other devices and other audioformats not being supported. My Xbox One has an HDMI-input and can also transcode to DD 5.1. So by plugging in a Chromecast to the Xbox One I am actually able to get DD 5.1 via Netflix. Unfortunately, having the Xbox running to passthrough the Chromecast-signal is not an elegant solution. Thus it would be a much simpler solution, if my TV could simply transcode any audio-input to DD 5.1 as the

I took one of my Sonos One speakers to my vacation home. It really is not easy to change networks temporarily. I got it to work (using ethernet cable setup then setting to new network) but when I returned home I have not been able to get it reset to my home network. I got it to work briefly but now I it will not show up on my app no matter what I try. I'm about to try a factory reset. I did get it to connect by plugging in an ethernet cable, but when I disconnect the ethernet, the connection is lost. Now the controller can't connect thinking it is on a different network which did not change since it was Ethernet was unplugged. I have gone through the numerous procedure suggested. Now my two phones and computer can't connect to Sonos. I sent in a Diagnostic report The discussions are not clear about what exactly is the risk in doing a factory reset, just that it is not a good idea. If a set is done are all setting for all speakers affected, or just setting on the reset speaker?

The title says it all.

Does anyone know if the Samsung bd-j5500 supports dts to DD on the fly and compatible with the playbar?

I have a large iTunes library that I like to play through Sonos. I have recently gone through my iTunes Library and deleted several playlists that I no longer listen to. However, when I sync my iTunes library with sonos, these deleted playlists are still showing up in my imported playlist within the Sonos controller app. Why are they not being removed and how do I remove them?

Hi, Any of you have success using the Sonos app on a Chromebook? I'd like to be able to control the system from it with the app since it now supports Android Apps but it doesn't update on playback all time time.

Had network changed. Get successfully through all steps of standard set up, but after disconnecting the Ethernet cable, get the same message every time: “cannot connect to Sonos Player”. How to solve?

Sonos media controls worked great on my Wear OS 1.x device but it was recently upgraded to Wear OS 2.0 and it looks like the Sonos app no longer triggers media controls on the device. So it looks like notifications worked out of the box with Wear OS 1.x but not in Wear OS 2.x Does anyone have the notification working on a Wear OS 2.0 device?

I am looking to install a 5.1 sonos system with Sonos Sound bar sub and play one. I intend to use 2 ceiling speakers for rears. What equipment is required? What is required for the 2 play one speakers. This is a new construction home so getting power or cat 5 to tv will be easy. I plan to use connect amps to power other in ceiling zones. Thanks

I’ve had a Sonos play 1 for 20 months. First year and a half it worked great. Recently it keeps dropping out despite it and router not having their locations moved. Driving me mad. Looked at forums but I’m not that tech savvy and just want to enjoy music. Finally yesterday I think I got it working ok. This morning I received a suggestion to upgrade App. Haven’t done it. How do I block these suggested updates? Simple explanation please.

I recently moved to an apartment (rent) that came with a Sonos system as part of the deal. Coming from another country (I live in US now), Its the first time that I hear and interact with a Sonos system, and I liked it. Well, the apartment that I moved has two speakers in the ceiling (they are mounted on the wall, but close to the ceiling) wired through the walls to a Connect:Amp, that is located inside a box in my closet (where my main internet cable is wired too). They are mounted in the living room, and bc of the layout, the TV needs to be placed at the same wall where they are, between them. My idea was to use this existing Sonos system and connect it to the TV somehow for movies and also music (Im used to cast to my TV stuff from Spotify, YouTube, etc.). After reading about Sonos, I realized that the only way to connect Connect:Amp to my TV would be by using a soundbar (playbar/beam/playbase) in a boost mode and use the connect:amp as surround speakers and maybe changing

I have been using Sonos for many years. I have the basic system on a PC I have been using new Sonos speakers. My old controller is no longer supported. After house alterations I want to bring some of my older components back into service and extend the system. It appears that I have to do everything through the app on my iPhone. I set that up recently and it was working OK, but it will not let me sign in to change my system. So far as I can see, it appears to have linked itself to an email address which is different from the one I used when I set up the system years ago and no matter what I do (re-setting the password, re-installing the app and so on) I cannot sign in. The result is that I cannot even use the modern speakers I had been using until this morning. The app on my PC will not respond until I sign in. It is Catch 22. Can anyone suggest how I get out of this?

We originally purchased two Sonos1 units for our house. We also purchased the Sonos Boost. They worked great. Then we added two more as fill all around the house. Everything was fine until about 2 months ago and I noticed that they were not playing a whole song every once in a while. We just purchased two more, so now we have 6 total, and the problem is still the same. Sometimes it skips very frequently. We have taken them all off line and readded them as individual names and units. We checked Wifi and everything is in order. What could be the problem. Oh. And we are running these off of our iPhoneX. If that would make a difference. This is really getting Annoying as we have spent well over $1000 for these units and now Im not happy with these at all.

Any updates to when google Assist is being added to Sonos??? Alexa isnt very impressive?

Hi! I searched on the community but the answers are not very clear to me. So I've the following case; I already owned a Sonos Connect AMP but today I bought a new receiver - NAD T 758V3. In the attachment the backside of the NAD. My question is: Is it possible to use the Connect AMP with the NAD? If yes which of the Sonos Connect AMP connections I need to use with the NAD?! :D

New house— I have speakers built into the living room wall already. I’m just not sure if this is a receiver or not (basically do I need a Sonos connect or sonos connect amp)? Here is a picture of what’s there.

I am not that computer literate so I am probably asking a couple of very dumb questions about reInstalling my Sonos kit. We are moving into a new flat and the router is located in one corner of the main living area. There is one Ethernet socket on the wall opposite. (1) If I connect my Sonos Connect: Amp to the Ethernet socket does this form the necessary connection needed for my Sonos system to work? (2) Ther are 2 Ethernet ports on the Sonos Connect: Amp so if I connect my smart HDTV to the other Ethernet port will this provide a hard wired internet connection for the TV via the Sonos Connect: Amp and / or just TV sound playback through the Sonos Connect: Amp. Thanks for helping as I am not really sure where to start!

Hi I recently bought a beam, and am experiencing the well documented lip sync issues when passing Sky Dolby digital feed through my Phillips TV. Switching to "normal" solves the issue of course. So Im looking to bypass the TV processing for the audio, which seems to be the culprit. What is the best way to connect the Sky Q and a PS4 audio to the beam?. I originally hoped a simple 2 to 1 optical splitter would do it but it seems the orientation of the Sonos optical adapter won't allow for it. Any advice and product links appreciated.

Background: occasionally Sonos can't play a track for whatever reason (usually this happens with Spotify), and Sonos has a "keep playing music no matter what" design whereby it just attempts to skip to the next track and pretend nothing happened, no option to have playback pause on error. The only way I've found to spot issues like this is to go looking in the error log. I know how to get to the error log on 9.1 desktop controller app (Help->Error Log), but one day I'm going to have to "upgrade" to the 9.2 "player" app with reduced admin functionality. Is the error log still available on 9.2 desktop? Is it available on mobile app? (can't see an option anywhere).

It says to Tap More Options (...) to add your favorite music. When I goto Browse —> a playlist on my iPhone —> ... on top of screen, I don’t see an option to add the song or playlist to My Sonos.

Hi, I have recently purchased and set up a new Sonos One. I added voice services yesterday and am having difficulties in getting Alexa to respond to ANY questions. I have tried the resetting process described in another post on this form, and the MIC is not muted. Diagnostic number is 716783233. Could you please assist?

Hey everyone! I'm currently attending University living in a dorm in which I am constantly having issues with people thinking that it is funny to blast music off of my Play 5. I am on an open network and we are not allowed to create our own so I am just checking to see if there were any ways to prevent this from happening in the future. People are able to just play music right off of the Apple Music / Spotify apps on to my speaker and I really don't want it to burst or anything like that. Is there anyway to disable Airplay? If I connect a tablet through the aux and just keep it plugged in will people still be able to play off of it? Thanks!
