I just purchased a Sonos Playbar. Everything works perfectly. I can go to the app and play music while I’m watching TV but how do I switch back to the TV audio without turning the TV off and on?

Does anyone else have this configuration of equipment and know how to set up please

When I ask Alexa to play music from either prime music or pandora she says "Shuffling songs from" or "Getting your last Pandora Station" but then never plays any music. It was working fine before, but I've been experiencing this problem for the last couple of months.

I currently have a play 1 in the far corner of my bathroom and it fills the room great. Its moisture resistance also means I've had zero humidity issues. The only drawback is you obviously can't start hitting the buttons or your phone when showering or anything. This meant i was excited to hear the Sonos one had alexa inbuilt, as voice control music is perfect for the bathroom. Unfortunately i can't find anything that says the Sonos one does/doesn't provide the same moisture resistance the play 1 does. Does anybody know? The microphone holes do also cause some concern as I'd understand if they scuppered my plans, but here's hoping.

Why will Echo sometimes play only a sample of a track on my Sonos system? Example, 'Alexa, play one in ten by UB40 on family room'. Reply 'playing sample of one in ten by UB40 on family room' Family room is the name I selected for my Sonos I should add that if I ask Alexa to play the same track on the Echo it will play the full track. Is there a fix for this? Getting rather frustrated by it :(

Hello We have two play 5 first generation wish we thinks is great but now we are thinking about get speakers for or terrass. The thing I was wondering about is how humidity resistant the play 1 is for outdoor, can I leave it out under the summer as long as it's under roof or do I need take them in every night? On the website it stands that it can be use in bathroom so it shouldn't be any problem but I just want to be sure. For the new generation play 5 it also says that it's humidity resistant but not whether resistance, is it enough to have it under roof under the summer? I live in Sweden so it don't use to get hotter then 30 degrees Celsius but sometimes we have morning dew.

Under my Sonos account I've speakers at my home and weekend house. Now the weekend house has been sold and the speakers with it. How can I de-register these speakers from my account so the new owner can register these under his own account? I've tried to search the support pages/community and have not been able to find the answer.

I have a pair of play 1's in my kitchen. I would like to also have an echo show in my kitchen with the sound played on the Sonos speakers. Is this possible? Not just for music, I want the sound for videos to come through the Sonos Speakers as well, and everything else the Echo Show outputs to audio.

I have a TCL 43S515 TV that comes w/ Roku. Is it possible to use Alexa voice control on the Beam to turn it on? What settings do I need to change?

I have a playbase and sub with on play 1 and just purchased the sonos one. Would I be able to connect the sonos one with the others to complete my surround sound?

Hi I currently have 2 play 1’s in various rooms around the house I have just purchased a sound bar and sub and want to reposition the 2 play ones I have as surround speakers, do I need to reset them to factory settings to achieve this or is it just a question of repositioning them to the right Room, renaming and following the set up procedure in the app? Sorry this might sound like a silly question but not sure what to do. I have replaced the two play ones with Sonos ones. Thanks in advance for your help.

Is the HDMI cable that ships with Beam a high speed cable?

I have two Play:1s (named Bedroom and Kitchen) and am now, thankfully, able to use Echo Dot (2nd Gen)/Alexa to play music and playlists with Spotify on the speakers. I do have an issue and have read some posts about this but couldn't find a definitive answer so here goes... I'd like to be able to play music on Bedroom or Kitchen or both of these at the same time via an Alexa voice command. I know that you can group Sonos devices in the Sonos app but I cannot give it a name of my choosing and saying "play..... on kitchen and bedroom" won't work. In the Alexa App I can create a group of devices so have created one called "Both" comprising both the Bedroom and Kitchen devices, but when I command Alexa to play on "Both" the device or group cannot be found - I should stress that this this is definitely configured in the Alexa app. I've even tried changing the group names. Maybe this is a bug with Alexa. Have I tried done this correctly? Is there a way of adding two devices to a

Recently moved and can’t get connect amp to connect

Is it somehow possible to stream audio files from the Blinkist App to my Sonos One system? I understand the Alexa App "Blinkist Minutes" is not the same, it only offers a minute of input every day. Any ideas? Thank you!!!

Is it possible to produce mono sound (not stereo) from a Connect Amp? My house has existing in wall/ceiling speakers without dual voice coils, and one speaker per room is my situation. So in stereo, either the Lt or Rt channel would only be broadcast to that room.

Hi there. When I set up my Sonos Beam through Sky Q using the Optical connection, I am unable to use either my TV remote or Sky Q remote to change the volume. When it's through HDMI it is fine, however my TV will not push through Dolby Digital and I have to put my Sky Q on Normal audio. Any help much appreciated!

I just got a beam and find it very annoying that anytime someone wants to watch the tv, I have to get my phone to turn on the sound. I’ve read that I can also do this with the Voice command, but understand that Alexa learns your voice and therefore if someone else besides me wants to turn on the tv (my four year old, a friend, etc) it needs my voice to work? Also not everyone who used my tv speaks English, we switch back and forth and would prefer not to only have voice commands. Are these the only two ways to turn on sound? It can’t be done on my tv or just stay on?

Reluctantly, I disabled the Alexa skill for Sonos today. The whole house ducking was causing too many complaints form everyone in the house. Ducking a Sonos speaker in a room so far away from the person using Alexa just doesn't make sense. I really would like to use voice commands with Sonos; but I guess I will have to wait even longer for Sonos to correct this problem. I have three Echo dots connected to Sonos either through line-in jacks or Connects. This was originally done to work around the Audible issue. The bonus of doing this was that all output from the Dots sounded great going through the Sonos speakers. Even, simple things like: "Alexa, what is the weather?" sound very good. Well, they don't with ducking, because you can't hear them at all now. Perhaps the long-term fix is to assign Alexa devices to specific Sonos products. A short-term fix would be to add the option of turning ducking off. I would be willing to accept that Alexa might not be able to hear me with this

Hi Sonos Lovers, We have recently moved into a new house. It has 2 inbuilt speakers in two rooms that the previous owners used two separate Sonos Amps to connect. Am I right to assume that the new amp that is coming out soon will allow me to connect all 4 speakers in 2 rooms to the one amp? Many thanks, Alex

Is it possible for Sonos to use Testflight to allow testing of beta controller software by IOS users? There is a limit of 2000 testers, but I'm sure this could be managed. I'd like to contribute to beta testing for IOS devices and I'm sure others would too. Cheers, Peter.

I found something exploring through the Alexa app that looks odd. I show 2 instances of the same device name but with different serial numbers in the Alexa app as shown in the pic. Is this normal? it doesn't show up like this on the Amazon content and devices list as only a single device is shown.[img]c42e5a2e-3a50-4bab-b1fe-3da648298ba5.png[/img]

I just bought a Sonos one today, I already have a Sonos play1 and an amazon Alexa. After I had setup my new Sonos in the Sonos app, and after going though the voice setup, when I ask it to play a song it 1. takes about 25 seconds for it to know what I said and 2. either says there was a problem or just ignores it and does nothing. I don't know how to fix it and I really wouldn't like to return it if I didn't have to.

I am looking to downsize the amount of speakers in my living room. I currently have a first generation Bose Solo under my TV, and I also have two second gen PLAY 5's. I want to replace the Bose Solo with a Beam and hide a SUB behind the couch to cut down on clutter. My question is, does anyone think a Beam with a SUB sounds as good as a stereo pair of 2nd Gen Play 5's? If not, how about a Beam + SUB compared to a single 2nd Gen Play 5?

Will the Homepod show up in the Sonos App itself as a speaker to select? It didn't for me and I'm wondering if this is due to an error on my end?
