can I hook 2 pair (4 speakers ) of Bose 31763 Free Space 51 Outdoor In-Ground Speakers to one SONOS connect Amp or do I need to buy two separate connect amps? The speaker wires would range from 50-100 foot long

My PLAY 1 has been working semi-fine up until now. It needed a reset once in a while, but that got it going again. Now it's lost the connection and refuses to reconnect. I've tried factory resetting it and configuring it again. In the setup process it seems to discover the speaker just fine. I type in the wifi password and then I'm asked to press 'play' and 'volume up' at the same time and wait for the sound. The sound plays, but then the LED turns solid red and nothing further happens. Any advice?

I have a US Amazon account since Alexa isn't available in Canada yet. However, my way older Sonos account is registered in Canada. So when I've tried to use Alexa, the Sonos app says I can't because it isn't available in my region. Any way around this?

Is it possible to hear the sound of a blu ray player directly via the soundbar and not via the tv?

Dear Ryan S, In the Sonos announcement, CR100 owners were offered two options:- 1 - Stop using the CR100 or 2 - Stay with the current 8.4 OS and "freeze" all future OS updates. Can you provide detailed step by step instructions on how users can take up option 2? Many thanks TJRL 7x CR100, 2x CR200, 1x ZP80, 7x ZP100, 1x iPod Dock, 1x Boost, 4x Play 1, 3x Play 3, 2x Play 5, 1x PlayBar & 1x Sub.

Reading some other topics and seeing a Boost being recommended as a WiFi networking solution got me to thinking. A Boost is $100 while a Play 1 is $150, getting another speaker for $50 more might be tempting in some situations. So how would the Play 1 compare to the Boost in WiFi operation?

I have a Boost network (all components WP:0). A Bridge is hardwired, and there are 4 ZP80s. One ZP80, named "Roving", is outside, in an outbuilding. Sometimes, it gets poor signal and plays music in a choppy or pulsing way. Here is my network matrix. [img]94c916be-d6cf-4470-93c2-928144401ce5.jpg[/img] Is there anything I can do to get better signal to the Roving ZP80. If I buy another bridge and put it in an intermediate location, is this likely to make things better?

How do I connect a Sonos Connect to a receiver so that I can listen to CDs on my Play 1 speakers? I’ve connected the audio out on the Connect to the CD audio in on the receiver - nothing plays. I’ve hooked it up to the Tape audio in on the receiver, tuned the receiver to Tape, again nothing happens. As best I can tell, the Connect was successfully hooked up through the Sonos app at the beginning of this process which, I assume, means Connect and Play 1 speakers will work together once I get receiver hooked up appropriately. Help! Thanks.

As above: I am planning to use a Sonos One as a google assistant. If I buy a sonos one now, will it work with Google when the Assistant support is rolled out? Or is it better to wait and buy a unit when support is already in place?

We are building a brand new home from scratch. One room will be a TV and music room and I want decent sound. I have a connect:amp and a pair of Monitor Audio BX5 floor standing speakers. These currently act as my speakers for TV and music. I am now trying to design the room but am non-technical and am confused by the options. My local reseller says "sell the speakers" and buy new stuff but it seems a waste. I have the opportunity to wire the room however I decide but am really not sure what is best. I like good sound but I'm not obsessive. I want surround sound and would like to use what I have in some way. Help!

Hi. Im looking in to getting an amp for my bookshelf stereo speakers (B&W CM5) and the Connect:AMP looks really interesting to me. Does anyone know if there would be a delay playing the sound from the line in directly to the speakers? I know that if I want to have the sound distributed to other sonos speakers via network there will be a delay but can I choose to only play the sound on the connected speaker directly? If this works, I could use my CM5 speakers as computer speakers for gaming and so on with no delay, and if I want, also use them in my multi room setup together with my Sonos play 1 (with the usual delay). Correct? Appreciate any answers, I would really want this to work :)

hello i don't have any expérience with sonos devices , it is possible to connect sonos with a vip monitor arm based processor

i am planning on buying a sonos product as a gift for a friends' home in France do I need to buy a special product or adapter for that country?

I recently shuffled a Spotify Playlist via Alexa, with the command 'shuffle release radar playlist on office'. This worked OK, but now whenever I attempt to play back any Spotify Album via Alexa, it is always shuffled too. The shuffle setting is turned off in my app.

I've had Sonos for years, so I'm pretty familiar with things. Alas, I'm stuck. I have a room "TV Room" with a Playbar and a Sub bonded and working fine. I have two Play: 1s I wish to add as a surround pair. The instructions of how to add surrounds to a Playbar are straightforward (on a Mac): Select Sonos > Preferences > Room Settings. Select "Room Settings" From the tab labelled "Basic", select "Add Surround Speakers". For me, there is no option to "add surround speakers" anywhere. (See screenshot) (I've also tried this via the iOS app. Clearly I'm missing something. Suggestions?

Does it matter what speaker I group on? I've got 5 zones and a connect, which is plugged into the router. Very often, I want to play the same thing on all speakers, so when I group I use the same speaker as the one I group on. But I also know that the interference around some of my speakers is greater than others. I've reduced my dropouts significantly but would like to eliminate them completely. So should I be more discerning about the lead speaker?

Apologies if this issue has already been addressed in another post - but hoping someone can offer some guidance... I've set up my Sonos One, downloaded the apps (Sonos and Alexa) and everything appears to be working as it should, except Alexa can no longer play radio stations (either through TuneIn or the BBC skill) and can no longer play music through Amazon Music. I either get an error of Kitchen is offline at the moment, something went wrong or in the case of the BBC skill get the opening music and introduction and after making a request (e.g. play radio 4) get silence and the jingle again. The Sonos One is online (I can ask Alexa general questions and she will respond) however these key functions refuse to work. :@

Can't get the Samsung Q9F TV remote to control the volume of the sonos soundbar. Help?

Hello! Is there any compatibility coming soon for Alexa to read my Kindle ebooks or Audiobooks on Sonos ONE? Would really like for this to happen soon. I may have to buy a dot to achieve this but I know that route won’t actually play the sound through the Sonos ONE, but only through Dot. :(

I was wondering if there was a way to connect the dot and make all sound from the dot speaker come out of the sonos speakers. Currently I have a playbar and 2 Sonos Ones as surround speakers. I use it for music more than I do tv but I use it for both. I love Alexa. I’m planning on buying 2 play 3 speakers to replace the rear speakers and using a dot for the Alexa so I can move the Sonos One speakers into my open kitchen/living room area. Any help would be thankful.

I’ve had the Play 5 for 13 months and it stopped working yesterday. I read through the forums and nothing seems to work. I factory reset it and tried to hook it up again. It only works when connected to Ethernet. I have a Play 1 that works fine. As soon as I unplug the cable it stops. I’m a month out of warranty and worried I’m just SOL. Any help would be appreciated.

I have had a Play5 Gen1 and a Connect for years and my Bridge just broke (crushed.) Do I need to buy a Boost or can I just hardwire the Play5 Gen1 to my router and let the Connect work through wifi?

I want to stream my own music from a NAS to my own amplifier and speakers. It's the streaming and music selection part I'm having trouble with. I currently use a Plex server with Plex phone app with a Chromecast Audio doing the streaming. But my wife is struggling with all the extra steps (get out phone, launch app, wait to load library, find and select music, select 'cast', select specific Chromecast device, wait for connection etc). And that's when the Chromecast is even available on the network, which isn't a given. I'm wondering if there's a better way. Some kind of streaming device that plugs into my amplifier and is always connected to the source plus a phone app that caches the library well and is always connected to the streaming device so that we don't have to set up the connections every time we want to listen to music. Is there a Sonos product to help with this? Or can anyone suggest a different product mix?

Can I pair a play 5 and Play 3 to act as my surround sound speakers when in use with my soundbar and sub and will they revert to normal when I stop watching TV

Hi. Is it possible to get a list of things sonos is working on in relation to alexa's dire voice control. We know theyve said google assistant is in the pipeline, audible has been mentioned to. What about services like napster and locally stored music? Are they being worked on or were the numerous requests for these services just placed on the shelf labelled "if we ignore it, they will go away."
