I have had this problem for weeks now and its driving me ABSOLUTELY insane:https://vimeo.com/1043974342/466fa81a16?share=copyOnce I got my Goole Streamer (basically same as Chromecast) I connected it to an HDMI Port on my Xiaomi F2 SmartTV. My Sonos Beam is connected to another HDMI Port (eArc Port).However, I quickly noticed that the picture was flashing back and forth - HDMI 1 (Chomecast) - black - HDMI 1 - No Signal - HDMI 1.....I also noticed, that most of the time, if I turn of CEC (which also does not let me control the TV (Sonos) volume anymore), this flashing usually stops a couple seconds after turning off CEC. If I turn CEC on again afterwards, it usually works for some time, until I randomly turn on my TV a couple hours later and its back to the same glitching again..Has anyone got an idea why this is happening? Its driving ne CRAZY. 

I have two sonos play 5 and three sonos play 1. None of these connect anymore, not to WiFi, not with ethernet cable. Have reset all speakers, routers, deleted system, different devices, reinstall app... The app finds the devices, but if i try to add them it eventually says to ensure that the power is on, and aborts the process. What to do?  Connecting these "easy install" devices has stolen hours of my life also before, but now i hit a wall. 

I cannot connect to Sveriges Radio P1 on my Sonos 1 based system. Any known issues?

Why does this app suck so bad ?? I swear it drops my system everytime it updates.   And I have a hard time reading ! Now after factory resetting for the 5th time it won’t connect to wifi.   So fn fustrsting 

I am installing my Sonos Era 300 stand. At step 3, I can’t seem to figure out how to install the washer far enough into the base so that the stand pole isn’t rather loose and unstable. Does anyone who has successfully installed the stand have any tips to make it stable?

Hi Everyone I have a mix of Sonos and traditional wired speakers. Has anyone integrated both types into one audio system? If so, how did you manage the setup and what challenges did you face? Thanks!

Background. I’ve got an older system — H80 and H100? Something like that? — connecting to my own speakers around my house, running on the S1 app. I then got some newer Sonos speakers which are in my tv room, running on the new Sonos app.S1 components have needed updates for about a year, but I couldn’t get the updates to work.  Error messages, and yes I tried all the Sonos suggestions. Didn’t help.  But… the system was working, I didn’t need new features, I figured as long as that continued I didn’t need to update them again.   This worked great.  Until early Jan this year, the S1 components all stopped working.  So I open the S1 app, and it’s telling me I can do everything on the S2 app… but i need to update my components.  Ugh.So first question — is this accurate? Will the older components now work on the newer Sonos app? I’m planning on taking my 3-component setup for the s1 items and cutting back to just 1 component.  I’m not using two of the components any more at all, I just need

Found some varying answers from a historical forum search so I’m hoping to find some current opinions (as well as consolidation of my questions into one thread).I am looking to build a new system which I’m guessing will be a Beam (Gen 2), a Sub MIni and 2x Era 100s.   There is a chance that I might go Sub instead of Sub Mini but I don’t think this impacts my questions:I will most likely be looking at wall mounting the surrounds.  (This a room renovation so the electricians will put power outlets wherever I ask).   Would it be better to have the surrounds mounted on the side walls (but slightly behind the main viewing area) facing inward OR on the back wall facing forward? What features should I look for in a TV purchase to make this most compatible for this system? Is it correct to say that I don’t need any other components beyond the above for great home theater? Assuming the answer to 3) is “yes”, what else would I need if I changed my mind and decided to add any legacy stereo compon

I use my Sonos system most of the time when I go to bed at night. For the past couple of months I can’t just hit the Sonos app, select my source of music and listen. It appears that the tunes are playing because the white line that shows the music advancing is moving along but no sound. I hit the pause button and get a message saying that the pause function isn’t working now, try later. I can usually just try selecting a different station and get some tunes…sometimes. sometimes I have to select several different stations to finally get some music. The system is dropping components again. That used to happen on a regular basis but not at all since the app upgrade. At least until a couple of days ago. Not sure what’s going on.

Quick community Q: How is the latest version of the desktop app for Mac? (As background, I have deliberately not updated the desktop controller since May as it was the most reliable way to control my system and I wanted to make sure that I at least kept that. Let’s not reopen the whole app issue up again) However recently it has begun to struggle with a few things - most obviously when trying to start or switch music/playlists in Apple Music. What is the latest version of the app like? I’m happy to switch across if it improves things but I really, really, really don’t want to update it and find out that the new version does less than the one I currently have Anyone have any experience of using the latest version of the desktop controller on Mac (and I’m using a 2015 iMac) Thanks!

I’m looking to use two era 100s in stereo config with my SVS subwoofer. Can I use my gen 2/S2 connect amp using the sub output to the SVS and then group with the era’s? Ultimately I need bluetooth to connect the sonos to my peloton.

Hello,Newbie here, first time posting and new to Sonos. I’m looking into installing a surround sound system in a medium to large open room for watching movies and playing music. Was thinking of getting the Arc Ultra, Sub 4 and a pair of Sonance 8” ceiling speakers with the Sonos amp. Using ceiling speakers due to wife doesn’t want to see  speakers on stands behind couch. Thank you for ,the assistance. Should I connect amp and Arc sound bar to router with network ?Will my Samsung tv remote control my audio in tv mode?

BonjourJ'ai changé de live box et mon système sonos ne fonctionne plus...

Hello. I don t understand why my AirPod stay 2 seconds connect to my tv and after disconnect to go to my beam. Even if I change the sound settings on my tv.

Dose it make sense to add a Mini sub to my Arc Ultra? Or do I just bite the bullet and get a Sub 3 or 4?Leaning towards the Mini,but will it work?

Where do I find the latest version of this ?

Which Sonos app has the bass and treble and bass boost because the one I'm on right now doesn't have it 

Himy beam gen 2 has decided to change the volume on its own if I turn it up it just goes down

Hi. Installing a new system. For some reason it has established 2 systems on the same router. This means I cannot connect my 100s to the Arc Ultra (system2) as surround sound because they are claimed by system1. Tried  ‘forget’ function multiple times. Doesn’t work. Cannot find help completely deleting a system anywhere. HELP!!

I am building an master bedroom suite with a small home theater area.  Ideally I would like to use 2 sets of in wall speakers with 2 Sonos Amps and an in wall sub with it’s own amp.  However there would not be any Sonos voice control or audio swapping to the Ace headphones with this setup.I talked to a Sonos salesperson and she was not overly helpful.  She suggested using an Arc Ultra in the front.  Obviously it won’t be as nice aesthetically, but I also don’t think the sound quality would be as good.  It just seems that having the front speakers further apart is going to give better surround sound than a soundbar.Any ideas or suggestions?  

Trying to get my Sonos port to connect to WiFi. No flashing green light so the app doesn’t see the system. Works if plugged into Ethernet but my hub is in a different room so not ideal. Any ideas?

Please can anyone advise me :- Is it at all possible to add a Sonos One SL ( gen 1 ) to my existing system of 2 Sonos SL gen 2 in another room ? Many Thanks Guys  Moderator edit: removed the word “Play” from model name

I have a pair of Play:1 speakers linked as a stereo pair. I generally use an Amazon echo dot in the same room to ask for music etc. In the last few months the previous behaviour where the volume of the sonos speakers would automatically reduce when communicating with alexa no longer happens. If I have the music on loud then I either have to reduce the volume or shout very loudly!Have tried all the usual uninstall/reinstall, repair, unlink/link the sonos skill in alexa etc but with no success. I should say that other speakers in my system DO reduce volume when communicating with alexa (including an aging connect!) but not the Play:1s. Since I still use the old connect I am still on an S1 system. Any suggestions?
