Hi,I’ve just purchased a Pro-Ject T1 Phono SB Turntable and Sonos Era 100 ‘bundle’ - set up this afternoon with no issues and everything’s working, however…The volume is really low (especially when compared to streaming music) I’ve adjusted all the settings, Line-In set to 10, volume limit off etc. but it’s just too quiet!Am I missing something obvious, or does anyone have any other suggestions?Thanks,

Hi, I have a Sony KD-AG965 I bought a Sonos Arc Ultra today. It will not connect to the tv no matter what I try, I have done all the trouble shooting things I can find online. Full reset, power cycles of both, HDMI cable change, Bravia Sync off and power off etc. The tv know there is something connected to HDMI eARC but then I go to set up it can’t play a sound nor will the app detect a CEC connection. Just says CEC not connected.Anyone had these issues?my next options are to try the bar on another TV and another bar on my TV.

Hi All,I fear there is no solution to this but I’m hoping someone has a good idea. I have a playbar with a connected sub and surround speakers. No matter what I try… the Nintendo Switch 2 will only output to stereo which is super disappointing. I’ve tried to set the tv to passthrough the audio signal but no luck there. Screenshot below of the petulant screen displayed by the Nintendo. Appreciate an old soundbar but it’s been solid for a decade and works great with the PS5!  

I’m using a Sonos Era 100 stereo pair connected via Bluetooth to a Google TV 4K streamer. I’m really impressed with the sound quality, but there’s an issue — the audio sometimes stutters, as if the left and right speakers momentarily hiccup. It feels like a plane gliding smoothly but suddenly hitting air turbulence. This happens about once every 5–10 minutes.Is there any way to fix this?no issue with wifi streaming, 

Hi everyone,I’m trying to decide between the Sonos Arc and Beam Gen 2. I can get both for roughly the same price (Arc is actually €50 cheaper), and I’m finding it hard to choose.A bit about my setup: TV: 65″ with HDMI eARC Room: Medium-sized living room Use: Mostly Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+, movies, and music Here are the two options I’m thinking about: Beam Gen 2 + Era 100 pair + Sub Mini Arc standalone bar and later add  Sub Gen4 Arc + Sub Gen 3 or 4 now, and maybe add Era 100/300 as rear speakers later I’m looking for good movie immersion, clear dialogue, and solid music performance without going overboard.Given my TV and room size, would you go Arc now or Beam + surrounds? Any advice or real-world experience would be super helpful!Thanks!Ashu

Sonos Arc here.  Pretty much at my wits end on setting up my Sonos Arc using Trueplay.  Trueplay worked fine right out of the box.  Since then have rearranged some furniture in the room and wanted to run Trueplay again.  Now has background noise problems when I try to run it.  Everything turned off, everything has been rebooted, access to my iPhone 14 microphone is fine, but every time I try to run it there is always a background noise error message. Nothing is running.  No one is making any noise.  Very annoying.  The one thing I have not done is to call Sonos.  That will probably be my next step.

I have the exact same issue as bthaler from a year ago.I created a developer account on 24 October 2025, and the developer dashboard still says “Your registration is being analyzed by our team, please wait.”. There are no other options on the page. It has remained this way since I registered. I created a developer support ticket on 26 October, but there has been no acknowledgement or reply to my ticket and there has still been no reply or acknowledgement of the ticket.Does anyone monitor or reply to developer support tickets? How long am I expected to wait for my registration to be “analyzed”? My company has many clients we’d like to integrate with Sonos but I don’t seem to be able to proceed with anything yet.It’s 2 months to get approval to get on to the Sonos app which is longer than any other intgeration that we’ve had to do. Now we have to wait even longer?

I have a TCL QM8K and for the first months with my setup everything was working fine. I have the Beam Gen 2 connected to the ARC port of the TV and Play:1 as surround speakers. I was able to play movies with AAC 5.1 or 7.1 with no problem. Now the movies with AAC only plays as PCM 2.0. I have no idea if it was an update that caused this. I even downgraded my TV OS to see if that was the problem but it wasn’t. I have a huge catalog of movies and a lot of them are only in AAC multichannel. I don’t know what to do. 

Hello all. My father in law has a play 3 in his dining room, playbar in the the lounge and we bought him a play 1 for his garage.Up till now he has run home wifi with a sonos BOOST in a room closest to his garage to help the play 1 work.  However recently he wanted more wifi signal in his garage and workshop so he bought a uniFi wifi switch which by the sounds of it creates a network extension into his garage. Now the Play 1 works for a while and is spotted on the app. But then starts to drop out and then eventually sonos app can't find the play 1 at all.  To add to the mystery he plugged in a play 3 in the garage and it worked faultlessly and has yet to drop out or disappear.Neither one of us are network orientated. So any help on why the play1 is misbehaving would be great. His words are below of the issue: "Ref sonosHouse WiFi is supplied by Vodafone. Cable from Vodaphone router to UniFi switch. So house is Vodafone. Garage via switch comes up in the garage ( network ) extension via

New Sonos devices drastically reduce my wifi speed. Like a lot. Can’t work. And yes, my router and service are fine.

Since the last update, I’ve been having issues streaming from Sonos Five. I’ve noticed in my router logs it seems to be switching from Ethernet to Wifi and have no idea why. My Sonos Five is connected directly to my router by a ethernet cable. Over the years, I have had more trouble with Sonos than any other device. 

Hello. A few months ago I bought a Sonos Arc Ultra, 2 Era 300s and two Sub 4s. It's working on an 85" TCL TV connected to an Apple TV 4K. The audio quality is spectacular. However, I'm having two problems:When I leave the system off for 10 minutes, when I turn it back on, the sound takes about 5 seconds to be heard. It's as if the amplifiers are turned off and only turn on after receiving a signal via HDMI.The other problem is the lack of volume under certain conditions. I've done extensive research online, and absolutely everything in the TV and Apple TV setup is in line with what's needed to get the best results. I've also tried TruePlay in various ways. Few content can be heard satisfactorily in terms of volume without using at least 70%.For comparison, I also have a Bose 600 + 5" subwoofer, and the volume of both systems is very similar, perhaps a little louder with the Bose.I've tried using the Apple TV output only, but the volume results are the same. An excellent example is the

We have just bought a Sonos Arc that we have connected to our Sony TV via the HDMI Arc port using the cable that came with the Sonos. We have a Sky Q box connected to the TV via another HDMI port. The sound settings on the Sky Q are set to Dolby Digital Plus. We’re impressed with the sound quality.However, we can’t hear any sound from certain channels, including the YouTube App. We also get no sound from YouTube if we connect to it directly from the TV rather than via Sky Q. I’m presuming this is because those channels that are ‘silent’ are not broadcasting in HD? If we set the Sky Q sound setting to Normal we can’t hear any sound at all through the soundbar on any TV channel.Any ideas?Thanks

I am running a Sonos S1 controller with a series 1 Sonos 3, Sonos 5 and Connect.I have been trying to set up a music library on my Western Digital NAS, MyCloud Home, but keep getting the reponse error 900 which then wants me to change the server stack in my windows registry.Is this for real? Surely there must be some other way? 

My setup is for TV surround sound. A SONOS Play Base connected to a TV, via optical cable with a SONOS Sub and two SONOS Play 5s and all was working fine until my TV broke.I bought a new Samsung TV (Samsung QLED QEF1 4K), but it doesn't support optical output. Most of the new TVs available don't seem to support optical output, and I know the SONOS Play Base only accepts optical input.The TV has HDMI ARC, so I tried to find a solution - HDMI ARC output from TV to Optical input to Play Base, with a converter of some sort. When I contacted SONOS support, they told me no such solution exists and to buy either a new, different TV or a new SONOS sound bar product.ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS PLEASE??Yes I know there is a  Optical Audio Adapter | Sonos : from SONOS, but this only does Optical to HDMI ARC, not the other way around.Thanks for any help - Stephen 

Hello - I have 2 x Era 300s on a wifi network and would like to add a couple more smaller speakers to the system to fill out the room. Usecase is music in a midsized room.Budget is an issue so looking at second hand, will older models like Play 1 do the job? Any older models that wouldn't work?Thanks.

I have a Sonos Arc.  When I took the soundbar out of the box after purchase the set up when fine.  Everything worked including all controls.  Since then the EQ has stopped working and also the loudness selection.  The speech enhancer works just fine.  You can use the sliders for bass and treble but it has no effect on the sound.  I tried a factory reset and reboots of the internet connection plus reinstalled the app but these controls still will not work and have no effect on the audio.  All updates have been done.  I am very disappointed and am afraid that this problem will keep me from buying anymore Sonos products or giving a good recommendation if asked.

I have a Home Automation Inc (HAI) Hi-Fi2, 8 zone sound system that I am interested in replacing as it is working intermittently and the manufacturer has discontinued the product.  Each zone corresponds to a room in the house with 2 speakers mounted in the ceiling and a small control panel.  All the speakers/control panels are wired and run back to the main Hi-Fi2 control box.  The main control box has numerous audio inputs allowing you to select (via the small control panel in each room) from multiple line-in sources (e.g. amplifier, iPhone, CD player, etc.) .  My questions: Is there a Sonos product that could be used to replace the HAI Hi-Fi2 box, but still use the existing speakers?  I’m assuming the Sonos App would replace the individual control panels.  Would I still have the option to connect and select from multiple line-in sources? Is this a DIY installation or do I need a professional?  (I am comfortable with computers, networks, hand/power tools and can follow instructions).A

Bonjour,  je possède un système sonos avec deux play 5, deux play 1 et un connect. Le tout étant de première génération. L'ensemble fonctionne en multiroom uniquement avec l'application Sonos 1 sans mise à jour depuis très longtemps. Est-il possible d'intégrer un ampli zoneplayer 120 à mon dispositif  ? Sachant que l'ajout d'un nouvel appareil est tributaire d'une mise à jour. Y a t'il une solution ? Comment dois-je procéder ? Merci beaucoup par avance pour vos réponses. 

I have been having issues with my One SL Speaker that’s in my bedroom - it keeps changing its name back to “Kitchen”, which then gets confusing as I have already another speaker in the kitchen.I am changing the speaker name in the SONOS app on my phone, and it reverts back to kitchen the next time I use my speakers. I’ve read many posts online about it being related to Apple Home Kit but I do not use Apple Home at all.I have tried removing the device, re-adding it to my system, and I even factory reset the device with no luck.Is this some sort of glitch within Sonos? Can any one provide any information on how to fix it.
