I am looking to know what is the best way to stream Tidal.  My setup is Sonos Port connected to Marantz amp via coaxial, and Google Pixel 8a.  The Port and Pixel are both on the same WiFi.  I have 3 options to stream Tidal.Open the Sonos App then select Tidal.  If I use this option the quality level of what is being played does not appear.  Also once the stream is started I can turn off my phone and the stream will continue.  This tells me that the Port is connected directly to Tidal. Open the Tidal App, start playing then select Port as the playback device.  This method does show me the stream quality but if I close the Tidal app on the phone the music stops.  It seems that the phone is connected to Tidal then passing it on to Port.  Not sure if the phone can pass the full quality of the stream as option 1 can.Any thoughts on this to backup my thoughts would be appreciated.Another option I have but have not tested is to use HEOS that is built into my amp. 

I use my Roam in the bathroom where it does get wet through the steam. Although it is waterproof to a degree, I would like to prevent damage. I am informed that a waterproof cover is available. Is this correct?

Our Sonos system and app frequently fails to work in our house. We have excellent WiFi so that is not the issue. It is very frustrating.

There is a weird behavior between my devices.I have a LG OLED65CXAUA tv and a PS5.  They have worked great together for a while.  In the last year I added a Sonos Beam to the tv - it works great for the TV and the PS5, the sound is wonderful. But weirdly, since I added the Sonos Beam, the PS5 will randomly wake up from sleep mode and the TV switches from whatever I was watching to the PS5.  I can switch it back but it is annoying.To be clear on the set up: the Beam and the PS5 are both plugged into the TV.  Any clue on how to stop this?

Hi, I have an existing small multi room setup.I have a Brennan B2 which speaks to Sonos. Sonos system is a portable roam in one room, and a Sonos one in another.I have a bang Olufsen system in another room. I would like the B&o system to appear on the Sonos system so I can send music to it in the same way I can imagine the other rooms.Is this possible? Many thanks.

Since downloading the new app in May, I can no longer listen to a music source through AirPlay in different rooms using a mixture of Sonos airplay and non-AirPlay enabled speakers.  For background:I can still group all my speakers, new and old a listen to music direct from the Sonos app. But if I want to listen to an external source (eg BBC Sounds), I used to AirPlay from the BBC Sounds app to my Sonos Playbase and then group the Playbase to two other older Sonos Play: 1s.  I could then listen to the BBC app on all three speakers. If I try to do this now, the audio only plays on the Playbase.  Even though the three speakers still show as grouped (yellow ticks) on the app only the Playbase has the moving audio bars icon. I can still group the speakers and listen to airplay through the group if I use the Sonos app on my PC which I haven’t updated so I know it’s the new app and not a problem with my setup. I have a single router and two Ethernet access points connected directly to that ro

I’m trying to reset my Sonos play 1 speakers after updating the app. The speakers stopped working the other day and the system disappeared and I was told by the app that I needed to update the app. After updating the app it said it found no system. So I’m trying to connect my speakers again, and resetting them appears to be the only option since the app update doesn’t see any system. After unplugging the speakers, holding the play button down and replugging it in until the light blinks orange. After that, nothing else happens. It never switches to green even after waiting 10 minutes.  I’ve unplugged it and now it just blinks white.   how do I get the system to work again? 

I can't access to sonos system eq through app. It keeps asking me to sign out and sign in, which i did and keeps on repeating same pop up msg. Need help...

About a week or so ago, the following behavior began:If I haven’t watched TV for awhile, and then begin to, there will be no audio.  If I open the app, the Sonos system cannot be found by the app.  Restarting the Sonos system by cycling the power to the Arc restores everything.  Until the next time it happens.Insignia Fire TV w/eARC HDMI connection to SonosSonos is the only HDMI connection, cable is secureMy home network is enterprise grade and rock solidThis began suddenly, I have not made any recent Sonos or network or TV config changes

I have a pair of Play 1s in the office and Apple Music plays fine through those either direct or via Alexa. But I have the same set up in the kitchen and Apple Music only plays through one speaker. I can see no difference in the Sonos app, but Alexa sees Office and Office Sonos, whereas it only sees Kitchen, no Kitchen Sonos. Alexa has created Office Sonos. Any idea what’s going on?

I have a queue containing only elements from the Pocket Casts service.That queue is not displayed in the new android app controller.It is displayed in the windows, the webapp, and the old android app controllers.That bug is here since the new app has been released.I didn't care until yesterday because I was still using the old app but I was foolish enough to trust sonos and update my system… 🤦🤦🤦    

I cannot get my Sonos Amp to play audio from Insignia Firestick TV. I wont go in to specifics regarding prior configuration as needs have changed (major difference is, I only need to transmit audio from TV to Sonos Amp) but know that the prior system worked as needed using same cables. I now have a Insignia Firestick TV connected to RCA Audio Balun connected to ~50 ft of ethernet (I dont know if CAT 5 or CAT 6 but it did work in prior set up) back to audio balun into new Sonos Amp.Note, I can play music through speakers via the Sonos amp just fine. Which tells me the issue lies from the TV to the Sonos Amp. Again, prior wired connection worked just fine. I have tried every TV audio setting/configuration. I am considering returning audio balen (as well as a Sewell Sound Link Audio device that I tried) and will try a 50 ft HDMI but that is not preferred as that requires more drilling and labor (when I dont believe that is necessary as again, it worked on an older TV and Sonos device - I

I’m about to get a Beam Gen2 and have a question regarding my setup to ensure I can get Atmos.Components:Samsung TV Sonos Beam Gen2 Nvidia Shield TV Pro 2017 (supports Atmos passthrough)The TV has 2 HDMI ports, 1 regular, 1 eArc. I imagine the setup to be, connect Shield TV to regular HDMI, Beam to eArc. If I’m playing content supporting Atmos on the Shield TV (Netflix UHD for example) will this output Atmos audio to the Beam? Thanks in advance.

I have 5 x Sonos 1 and 1 x Sonos SL (the one with Alexa). All the speakers run off the new app (App2 I think). I play my music via Spotify. I want to play music from my turntable and have been told I would need a Sonos 5 as it has the socket required to run an alternative music source through it. To keep costs low I was hoping to buy a 2nd hand Gen 1 Sonos 5, but a few sellers say it will only work from App1. Yet I run both Gen1 and Gen 2 Sonos 1’s  from the new app.  Would I be ok in buying a Gen 1  Sonos 5 to get what I want, connect my turntable.   Hope all this makes sense.

I have heard conflicting information on a completely hardwired system with Ethernet run to all devices.  Does the 32 device limit still apply in this case?  Are there ways to workaround the limit?  I’m building a large residential network with Ubiquiti managed switches/cloud gateway, so it has a lot of extra functionality and configuration options including VLANs.  Does this impact the total device limit?  I currently have hit the 32 device limit with wireless, but I’m wiring every device for better latency/reliability, and to ensure that my whole house playing music isn’t occupying any WiFi bandwidth.  I’m setting up all WiFi 7 access points too. Documentation isn’t completely clear or specific on this, and I’ve heard of other systems hardwired with more devices.

There are some Podcasts that are shown under Albums and other Podcasts shown under Podcasts in Sonos Favorites. What is the difference between Albums and Podcasts under Sonos Favorites? 

I’ve always kept my music library on a usb stick connected to my netgear router, which my sonos system could access through readyshare.  Sadly, my router died, and I had to replace it with a tp-link router, which also has a usb port, but it seems to work differently.  Does anyone know what’s required to set up a usb-share library with a tp-link router?

I cannot open the Sonos app on iOS 17.6.1. It crashes every time I try to open it. So I tried to connect my wired home speakers through Spotify and now the speakers are playing independently and I cannot turn them off. I turned my iPhone off and they continued to play. Please help! 

Hi everyone, I sold my arc can I configure 2x era 300 with 2 Subs?

Hi, I normally flip my eras in and out of surround sound mode for my beam.. however it won’t let me tonight as it it’s asking for an update to the system. Looks like it’s an old gen 1 connect causing issues.  I thought it was dormant as I’m only working on s2 and didn’t expect that to be visible (which it isn’t in the homepage) I’ve tried doing a factory reset on it and downgrading it to s1, but this fails. Any ideas how to lose it completely from the state so s2 operates normally? 

Hi all,How do you manualy rearange queue order? Is it possible?Thank youNeven

I am now very close to the end game- all speakers work wirelessly through echo dot and can be directed by voice. I have a pair of Play 5s older 1s and voice activated 1s. Also. Cd player and turntable working through a mixer. Now one line in goes to the mixer connected to play 5.The other line in through the echo dot. and is connected through Play 5. I was hoping that this would allow the components to play through the 1s. It does not. It only plays through the play 5s . The 1s are in different rooms so I was hoping not to have to run Ethernet wires. The router is powered through Spectrum. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you. Dale Dancis
