Hi all, SInce I updated my laptop to windows 10 the sonos app won't work. I have tried to uninstall it and restart but no luck. Any ideas? Thanks

As I understand it there’s no way to turn any of the speakers off. They go to “sleep” when no streaming is present. But, why does the status light stay on even when the speaker’s “asleep”. And how can you be sure the speaker’s really “asleep”? Thanks

I own an echo dot and I live in the netherlands. It works perfectly well. The only workaround is I have to tell it I live in the UK. I use it in english set to united states, just to be clear. I can set all these things through the alexa app. If I get a sonos one, will it actually work in the netherlands? I really want this product, and the limitation is silly to say the least. When I try to preorder one it says: --------- Voice control for Sonos is not supported in your country, yet. These features will be available when Sonos and a voice service launch together in your region. Amazon Alexa support for Sonos One is available in: Austria Germany United Kingdom United States ---------- Can somebody from Sonos reply to this simple question: - will I be able to simply change the country setting and have it work perfectly, like I do now with my amazon echo dot?

I have a Boost system which runs 2x Play One's in stereo, 1x Play One and a Play 3. A little confused at the new development. a) Two ways to make Alexa work with my system. 1: purchase the Alexa/Sonos speaker or 2: purchase an Amazon Echo or Dot. Is this correct, to make all my system work? b) Working with Boost, this creates a "special WIFI system just for Sonos speakers" Will this be ok to work with a) ? I have read everything on here about Alexa etc., I just want to have my system working under this exciting new system. Please help. Thank you.

I just bought another Sonos One to make a stereo pair. I have them less then a foot apart from each other. What is the ideal space that needs to be between them. Also to me I really can’t hear a difference between just one and having two. I might just not do a stereo pair and just put them in separate rooms and group them. Thanks

First thing I'd like to state is that the Airplay device works with a standard speaker connected via a jack to my Airplay Express. I have configured a Sonos Connect called "Airplay", I have connected a Jack from airplay to RCA on the IN on the Sonos Connect. In my environment I also have 3 rooms configured, Kitchen (Sonos Connect -> Amp -> ceiling speakers), Living Room (Playbar and Play:1 x2) and Bedroom (Play3). I want to be able to play music from my iPhone over Airplay to the "Kitchen", I have configured as shown in the screenshot. However every time I close the tab to see if the config has been applied I get an exclamation mark and it doesn't work (see other screenshot). Am I missing something? Any guidance greatly appreciated.

I just bought a Sonos Playbar and a bridge. I have a PS3 connected to a Samsung TV via HDMI. I have no audio issues with Netflix or other apps, however Amazon Instant Video doesn't seem to output any audio. Please advise.

Can Aleksa play the same music both thru the Echo Dot and The Sonos Play 1 or do I need to hardwire them together ?

30 days ago I had never heard of Sonos. So when I heard about the integration with Alexa I ordered a Play:1. Now I learn that the Sonos Play:1 is NOT the same thing as the Sonos One. The Play:1 does NOT have the Alexa built in. I have gotten the Play:1 to work (kinda) with the Alexa but when you do multiroom play with Alexa, the dot I have in my office will not connect to my Play:1. May be, probably is, user error. but sure as heck aint an obvious thing to this old boy. I had to set up an Alexa group (in this case I chose "Office"). If my wife is listening to her music in the living room, and I want to play music in my "office", I have to play from my iPhone as the Alexa Dot says, "Music is already being streamed from another device. Do you want to stream from here instead?", So, one or the other of us gets to use our Prime but not both. And, again, if we share, the Sonos speaker is ignored. We have an Echo in the living room. It's hard to even google this as a search ALWAYS return

When locating the subwoofer, is the pairing stronger (enhanced) when the subwoofer is closer to the Play-base?

We are just getting into setting up a Sonos system in a new home. So far we have a couple of P1's upstairs in a bedroom and a bathroom but now we are trying to decide what to add on our main floor kitchen + living room. They are essentially one space, only separated by a freestanding double-sided fireplace. No wall in between them at all. The kitchen is 20' x 24' and flows right into the living room which is 20' x 16'. So total square footage at about 800 SF. Was considering either getting two P3's and putting one in the kitchen on top of the cabinets and the other in the living room OR getting one P5 and putting it on top of a cabinet that is closest to the living rroom and angling it out towards both the kitchen and living room. Thoughts??

Is it possible (or even smart if possible) to have a 5.1 setup, but instead of having the two Ones as the left/right rear, to have them in the front to the left and right of the TV/Playbar? My living room area just isn't optimal to have two speakers around the couch.

I tried setting a music alarm on Sonos One with the command “Alexa, wake me up to X at 6:30am.” Alexa responded that music alarms are not currently supported in my region (i.e., UK). Is this true? Is this expected tp change soon through an update?

Is it possible to bring my SONOS Play:1 with me to my college dorm room, using my laptop?

Help

is there a way to turn microphone on/off on sonos one thru app?? if not it would be a handy feature....

I’m having trouble getting 5.1 out of my Xbox one X. My set up is Xbox one X connect via hdmi to my LG OLED 55b7 then optical to my Sonos sound bar which is linked to a sub and 2 x Sonos ones. I have selected bitstream and Dolby output on the Xbox but I just get silence. The only way to get any sound out of the Xbox is to select stereo. I get 5.1 through the TV on other sources like my Sky Q box so I’m sure the TV settings are correct. Any ideas would be extremely welcome.

How much does the Sonos One consume while it is not playing music? It have not a power button, so is it always in a "listening mode"? Or does it go in a stand by mode if I turn off the microphone? I would like to know the power consumption in the following scenario: _playing music (but it will depend on the volume) _not playing music and microphone turned off _not playing music and microphone on thanks :)

My sister came to ours for Christmas and she got an Alexa dot, for the few next few days we played with it and hooked it up to my sonos. Now she has gone home (200 miles away)- but now whenever she talks to her alexa the volume on my sonos goes down! I phoned her up to test my theory and it was correct - further more she then tried to play a song 'in the kitchen' and that worked too!!! How can I stop this from happening? This is a major bug in my opinion!

I have no sound when telling alexa to play a song on my play:1 speaker. Is there a fix? Sonos plays just fine when connected to computer.

How do you disable your daily Sonos alarm when you're away from your home?

My system keeps skipping to the next song before the end of the current song. It plays a song from a playlist or queue for about 30 seconds and then just skips. I have a Play 1 and Bridge. Please help. I cannot use these products right now.

I recently installed a ethernet wired CONNECT to my Yamaha receiver along with a One to stream music to existing speakers in 2 zones - all is sounding great & I can play my music library on my Mac & stream from Prime Music & Pandora. I also have ethernet wired Apple TV connected to my TV to stream content/music & a Boston soundbar with sub - & my question is this, can CONNECT stream to this existing non wifi soundbar through the Apple TV device? Or would I have to upgrade that to a SONO PLAYBAR or PLAYBASE? Appreciate any ideas/work arounds!

Can you control all your Sonos speakers with one New Sonos one speaker? I.E. can I tell Alexa/Sonos speaker to control other 'older' Sonos to raise volume?

Hi, I have just bought a Sonos Connect and I have connected it to a Parrot speaker. I have now in the same room a Play 1 and my new Connect / Parrot speaker. I have a sync issue. There is a delay between both sounds. How can i solve this issue please ? Thanks, Olivier
