I am pursuing a 5.1 surround sound set-up for my medium-sized game room. I plan to get a Beam and Sub as well as an Amp to power two in-wall rear speakers. I know that the Beam can output front left and front right in addition to center; however, I am curious if it is possible to 'boost' the front sound by getting two One speakers for front left and front right while also using the Beam. I understand that the Playbar may be a better option for front sound but I like the look of the Beam better and want the HDMI ARC functionality found in the Beam. I simply ask if it is possible to set up my front sound with a Beam and two One speakers (and still have it sound as it should), not whether it is practical or what others would do.

Need help with connecting Alexa Echo to Sonos (Play 1 and PlayBar)

I'd like to try out the TruePlay settings for my Play systems but I don't have any Apple gear to do it with. Worse I know nothing about Apple products. I found the list of compatible Apple hardware here but I don't know what else would be needed to get it working. If I bought something on the hardware list, cheap off ebay, what would I need to add to that device to be able to use the Sonos app and TruePlay? Is there anywhere cheaper than ebay to pick up a compatible device?

Is it possible to get audio from the analog output and the digital output at the same time on the Sonos Connect?

I have a Sonos One with Alexa. Recently (August 1st) several local radio stations left TuneIn Radio and went to Radio.Com. I added Radio.Com to Sonos. For several days I was able to ask Alexa to play a particular station on Radio.Com, and it would play. Recently when I would ask her to play a station on Radio.Com she would first say something to the effect of "I see that you have Radio.com, would you like to open it? After saying "Yes" she would ask for the station and after I gave the Call Letters, it would start playing. Now, however within the past couple of days, she will say "Playing KRLD on Radio.com", then there is silence. Nothing plays. I have tried different Radio.com stations with the same result. She always says "Playing XXXX on Radio.com, but then nothing plays. Yet, I can go to my Sonos app and it shows that it is connected to Radio.com but nothing is playing on any of my Sonos speakers, including the Sonos One with Alexa. Yet if I connect with the Sonos app,

I have read different places online, claiming that the Sonos One will get Google Assistant, meaning you can say stuff like "Ok Google" directly to the Sonos One speaker, without the need of a Google Home speaker. I originally though, Sonos only was going to support Google Assistant so that you can say "Ok Google play xxx on Sonos" to your Google Home speaker, and the Sonos speaker will be able to do so. Which scenario is the correct one?

I have a bunch of sonos one's and a connect (to far from computer to use earphone adaptor). I was wondering if I buy a sonos 1 will i be able to stream audio from youtube from my computer to my sonos system? If yes, Will I be able to select which rooms to play in?

I have just bought the Beam and I am having trouble getting it to work with my LG UHD TV. I've set the Beam up through the Sonos up just fine and it plays music from my phone, but I just can't get the TV audio to play through the Beam. I've used the HDMI cable that it came with and it's connected into the ARC HDMI port, I've also tested it with another HDMI cable and that didn't work. The TV Smartlink is on and I've gone into the sound settings and selected the Audio Out (Optical/HDMI ARC) and still nothing. I've powered everything down and back up again, still no luck. I don't know what else to try... any suggestions?

Hi everyone, I am new to the Sonos world and had my beam and 2 x Sonos Ones delivered today and I have a few questions I hope to get some help with. Firstly here is my kit ; Panasonic TXl50E6B, Apple TV 3rd gen, and Sky HD box. I use the Apple TV for Netflix and Amazon Prime. I have noticed that my TV does not seem to support DD pass through. If I hook up the beam to the TV via arc then my two sources have audio but the Sonos about bit in the app detects a stereo signal. What is happening with the Ones as rears in this situation? I have also noticed that if I connect the optical out of the sky box, or the optical output of the ATV straight into the HDMI port of the Beam (using the supplied adapter) then I can get a dolby digital 5.1 signal. This causes the problem that I have to keep swapping the cable around for the two inputs. Also is it okay to have a 5.1 sound when there is no sub i.e. 5.0. Has anyone got any ideas so I can get surround sound out my two ones wi

Hi, any one know if there is a possibility for Sonos Connect to automatically wake up from stand by a Yamaha AV receiver when a music is streamed? Thanks

on a few occasions I have been caught out by my Play 5s coming on stupidly loud when I get Alexa to play something. It would be nice to have a default startup volume that doesn't blow your head off!

If I connect both a Soundbase and a Sub to my router using an Ethernet cable and I add a couple of Sonos One via wireless (same router), Do they sync perfectly? Is there a risk that the Sonos One have some kind of delay? I need to be sure before I bought them.

After updating to the latest firmware my Sonos Connect:Amp does not respons to the line in. It plays fine from the network. I have tried several sources and cables plugged into the line in.

So I wanted to get a Sonos Connect for my TV. And as I've read more about it im starting to understand. I want to hook my Sonos Connect up to my cable box turn off my TV speakers, but if I hook my optical cable to the back of my TV and then to my sound bar will my sound bar play with my existing Sonos speakers? And will it echo is another big concern?

I am considering switching my Connect Line-out level from fixed to variable but then I noticed Pass-Through. What does that do? BTW my Connect is attached to a Yamaha receiver which drives my Mirage (non powered) bookshelf speakers. Thank you

Hi, Does anyone know how I can de-register (or de-couple) a Sonos One (with Alexa) from my Sonos account, so it can be registered with a new owner? To explain: I had a Sonos One and registered it to my Sonos account, and with the Alexa App. I have given it to my son and he would now like to add it to his own Sonos Account and set it up with Alexa on his own Amazon account. I've managed to decouple it from Amazon no problem, but can't find out how to do this in my Sonos account. One last point: The Sonos One is now in a different country (Netherlands) where my son is attending uni. Any ideas?

I just recently purchased four play 5's and one Playbar. I have a couple of questions... 1. Can I set it up as surround sound from my television with the Playbar as the center channel and two of the play 5's for left and right front and the other two play 5's for left and right rear? 2. ‎ If I can do the set up as described in the first setup is it Easy for me to switch from playing music on the play 5's from a different source and just leave the (Playbar) center channel for the television? Thank you in advance, Matt

What's the Beam setup for a TV/Receiver setup that already uses ARC and CEC? I have my TV connected via an HDMI cable to the HDMI ARC of my receiver. This set up works great because turning on the TV also turns on the receiver and everything just works. Can the new Sonos Beam work in this setup? I see that my receiver has another HDMI out called "Monitor2". Would the Beam connect there? Assuming it could be hooked up, how would it be turned on and used? My current setup is one-click to turn on both the TV and the receiver. I would like to avoid a multi-step process involving remotes, phone apps, and config menus.

I'll keep it simple, I'm assuming there is no way to increase the volume of just the center channel? I'd like to make it a feature request if that is correct. I find that in several films that the music and sound effects are much louder than the dialog. That's fair, but as a [u]preference [/u]I would like the dialog to be louder. In the past, with my old typical 5.1 system, I would just increase the volume on the center channel and it worked great. I know there is dialog enhance, but I don't find it helps enough and sometimes it just sounds odd.

Message says not room enough for new playlist, replace. Well, I want to delete a very large one. How?

Excuse me, I have just received an email from Sonos telling me that they are going to make my Sonos Dock, that I bought off them a few years ago, obsolete. They are actively making something that I bought off them obsolete, it works perfectly now, but after the software update in October they inform me it will no longer work within the Sonos system. I should ask for my money back, surely? And this comes from a company that prided itself on never making obsolete their early components. Actually flabbergasted by this announcement and really not at all impressed, bloody livid actually. Sonos, seriously reconsider this bloody stupid decision.

Updated my Play 5 and link to Alexa dot but will only play one song, even after forgetting all devices, still only one song?

Hi, I have a quick question before going out and buying stuff. I have one Sonos Connect and one Sonos Amp. My setup is the following: TV is connected via line-in on Sonos Connect where line out is connected to a receiver. Receiver has output to 4 ceiling speakers in my living room. The Sonos Amp is connected to my speakers outside on terrace, with no line in plugged in. (I only play music out there so use only Spotify app via Sonos). Now to my question. I want to buy a Google Home Mini so I can voice control my sonos system, and also (if possible) my TV via Apple TV (preferably) or Google Chromecast. How do I set this up with my curent set up.. I know I can connect a Google Chromecast Audio to either the Sonos Connect and Sonos Amp and then use Yonomi to be able to do this. But I dont know how to connect all the inputs and outputs to get this to work. My "living room line-in" is used by TV output, and the Sonos Amp (where I have a free line-in) only outputs to the speakers
