I have an existing Sonos home theatre and now have an LG TV (model 55UJ6300-UA) who's remote won't play nice. I have run all the updates as well, so that's okay. Unlike my previous TV that was hooked up to it (a Samsung), the LG remote won't allow me to adjust my Playbar or the two Play:1s I'm using for surround sound I also have a Sub if that matters. Like another person posted about the exact problem he had with his Sony (https://en.community.sonos.com/home-theater-228993/tv-remote-vs-sonos-controller-volume-control-for-tv-in-a-playbar-play-1-setup-6787229), my entire system is set up correctly and grouped together and Playbar is connected to my LG TV. The TV remote is configured too. Also, the sound settings in TV is set to "Audio Out (Optical/HDMI/ARC)" The roblem is that even though I reduce the sound using the TV remote the Playbar still keeps playing the TV sound. The display in the TV shows sound reducing to 0.., but in fact, it doesn't. So then I have to reduce the volume

Hi... I would love to have a feature where I can predefine a group of players and be able to play to this group... I have a two story house with 11individual players, and it would be perfect to have a predefined group for first floor and second floor. It would make it so much easier compared to the current where I have to choose between the individual players to make my group... Hopefully some others out there also find this feature request important so it will be implemented some day... Best regards to you all Bo Urskov

I cant connect my Samsung 55 inch to the Sonos Beam tried everything in the manual and phone support but nothing help anyone!

I'm looking to add the Sonos Beam to my two Sonos Ones in order to get a surround sound while watching Netflix. It doesn't look like any of the current streaming devices (Chromecast, Roku, Amazon, my Sony x720E TV) allow me to do that, as they output DD+ and the Beam only accepts DD. To me, this seems like such a basic use case for this device. Do any of you have a suggestion how I could make it work? Happy to buy the Beam today, but need to know that I can use it for the advertised use case :)

1st Problem I ordered 2 Sonos One speakers on 11/22/2018 from the Sonos web site. The order process went without issues. I was sent an email that said what I was charged and that the product would be delivered and set up on 11/28/2018. I also got an email from my credit card company saying there was a charge from Sonos that was an amount 20.81 larger than what my Sonos invoice said. I still don't understand how and why Sonos can actually charge more than they quoted me in their invoice. 2nd Problem I received a 2nd email today reminding me of the following: "Just a reminder, your Sonos delivery is today. Your expert will call or text you prior to your delivery to confirm a precise time. If your expert can't reach you, then they cannot deliver your product." The on line status of the order has never changed from pending. I have no idea how my expert is going to call or text me because I was never asked for my phone number. I assume that my product will not be deliver

The whole point of buying beam was to integrate my play 5 in with the TV and voice control. But I discovered that doing so loses core functionality of being able to play records or CDs or anything via line in. Has anyone figured out a work around for this?

Have two play 3’s,bar, and sub. Have found advantages to both options depending on what I’m listening to. Is this literally just a personal preference option, or am I missing something entirely?

Hi, Sorry I am a newbie. In our 6 Meters x 8 Meters Family room we have 2 Play5's and a Sub which sounds just amazing when we play music. In our TV room which is about 4.5 Meters x 5 Meters we have a Playbar and a Sub. I am now thinking of adding in 2 x Ones for surround sound. My questions on this setup are : 1) Does a surround sound system make a difference when listening to music? 2) I think this has been answered elsewhere but does anyone know or #Sonos #FeatureRequest if the Ones can be used with Airplay once they are bonded to the HT?

I finally got alexa to recognize my sonos 1 speakers. When I give the command to play music on sonos, alexa states that amazon music is streaming on two divices and asks if I want to stream on sonos. I answer yes, and the music plays on both devices, alexa and the sonos speakers, when i say no, the music only plays on alexa. I only want the music to play on sonos...How do I do that.

Hello community, This question probably has been asked before, but I can't seem to find it on the forums: Currently I own a sonos Playbar and Sub. I'm thinking about expanding it to a 5.1 surround setup with 2 play one's. However, I also want to listen to music every now and then with a play one in another room. I'm not planning on buying 3 of them, but I want to move a single play one between rooms. Is it easy to move one of the play one's to the study room and just listen to the music on that speaker? Is it also easy to move the speaker back to the living room whenever I want to watch a movie, or does it require setting up the room every single time? Thanks in advance for the answers!

I am trying to connect a new TV to my speakers. I am connecting the TV using an optical cable and a RCA converter that goes into the INPUT ports on my connect I am getting some sounds but it keeps cutting thru my speakers but it keeps cutting off

WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT ! I bought a Sonos One. I just wanted to be able to use the Alarm, in Musical mode (via Spotify, TuneIn, or Deezer), as a Radio-clock radio. "("Alexa, please wake me up at 7:30, with the Beatles, on Spotify") This is a very simple feature, which can logically be expected from the Sonos and Alexa wedding. ...Only Sonos Customer Support tells me that this feature...is not available. TO TOP IT OFF : This function already EXISTS with Echo, Alexa's vocal assistant ! https://mediafeed.org/amazon-alexa-can-now-wake-up-with-music-heres-how/ Whatever their reasons, Sonos and Alexa should allow us to use this feature as soon as possible!

Hi, If I buy Sonos speakers from UK and move to Australia, would I be covered under their standard warranty? If not, is there an additional warranty I can purchase to cover that off? Thanks - MM

Can I use the Sonos Conect:Amp with 1 pair of Bose outdoor speakers (Model 101 Series II Music Monitor)? The Connect:Amp shows to be rated 55w @ 8 ohms, while each Bose shows rated 40w @ 6 ohms.

I have had two Play 1 speakers working since 2016.We recently had to change router and now the controller app version 9.2.1 (on a Samsung SM-T310) won't work as the app states "The software on this device is outdated.......", and won't go any further in letting me try to re-connect the system.The Android version is 4.4.2 and the notes for version 9.2.1 shows it works on Android version 4.4. Does anyone, particularly Sonos, know what is going on here? Can I get a software version that works with Android 4.4.2 as this tablet won't update to anything newer? Help!!!!

Hi all, new to the forum but first time poster. Never had any issues with Sonos products so never felt the need to ask a question. I have recently purchased the Beam, very impressed with its sound etc. but what is really bugging me is being able to switch back to TV audio after playing music through the Beam? I’m connected via ARC HDMI I see many similar questions on here but none of the answers have helped me. I don’t have Alexa enabled as I have kids and they just shout Alexa all day so that isn’t an option for me. That leaves me with the Sonos app. I click on the Beam then “browse” and that’s where I become stuck. I keep pressing TV but nothing happens. The only way to get TV sound back through the Beam is turning the TV off by the plug, not even turning off via standby helps. It’s pretty poor from Sonos really I must admit. I have tried all settings in TV and app but had no success. I wondered if anyone had any other ideas? I actually upgraded from a Bose system, never h

Sounds silly but how do you turn your system off when not in use , just purchased 5.1 sub,play 1,play base

Updated to 9.2 but now the "manage" options are greyed out. I can't find any of my imported playlists. I am running a iMac OS X 10.10.5. I can't find any related resolutions so looking for help. Submitted diagnostics # 1769237365.

I’ve looked through every post imaginable on this but not found a solution unfortunately but my apologies if it is out there somewhere (if so, PLEASE point me in the right direction) I just purchased a ring Video Doorbell 2. All is working great with it but I am trying to automate it so that when it is pressed a chime (preferably an mp3) plays on my Sonos speakers (Sonos 1 x 3, Sonos 3 & beam) and then resumes whatever is playing (or just plays the chime if nothing was playing at the time). I’ve got it half working through IFTTT but when it is pressed it loops the mp3 continuously (which my kids love as it was saying, “HO HO HO, Merry Christmas” over and over and over… :D )

Inside the Alexa app under devices I can see my Sonos beam and 2 Sonos ones. When I click on any of them it opens up a new screen with a volume slider. When I use the slider to turn up The sound I get a pop up saying we are sorry we weren’t able to update your volume. This happens on all of the Alexa enabled Sonos’s

How do you turn on and control the night mode in the new Beam?

I want to create a home theater using an [b]Optoma UHD60 [/b]projector and [b]Sonos 5.1 Surround Set with Playbar and Sonos One speakers[/b]. I am thinking of connecting a [i]PC or Raspberry Pie[/i] to the [i]projector[/i]. As I see the [i]playbar [/i]has to connect to the [i]projector [/i]via [b]optical in[/b]. [i]UHD60 [/i]has an [i]optical out[/i] so I am thinking of connecting the projector to the playbar with a [i]long optical cable[/i]. My questions are: 1. Is this connection [i]proper[/i] for this setup to [b]work[/b]? 2. Does this connection provide [b]5.1 surround sound[/b]? 3. Does the long optical cable have [b]audio quality loss[/b]? 4. Is it ok to connect the optical cable to the [i]projector[/i] or is it better to find a [b]source[/b] with optical out?

Hi, Whenever I use the "shuffle" feature, it always "shuffles" in the same order. Is there any way to have it shuffle the order differently? I thought it would be a random shuffle but on my system it is not random at all - always the same order. (Or maybe I am incredibly lucky and should play the lottery?). Is there a way to either mix up the shuffle order, or to have it actually shuffle in a different random order each time I choose the shuffle option? Thanks! Juggernaut
