low turntable volume sonos 5 and One

My config is a Sonos5 and Sonos One with a Technics SL23 (just completely rebuilt and certified) and a phono preamp.  The output from the 5 is very low and there is no audio from the One.  The room is configured correctly as using Pandora works just fine with music well balanced between the speakers.any help is appreciated

An unusual configuration for "surround" speakers, recomendations

Hello,I'm recently bought a pair of Era 100 and I added these as a surround speakers for my Ray with a Sub mini but I don't have the stands for the speakers but in a weeks I'm going moving to another house and there I can pit the speakers on the wall but while I want to use the surround speakers in front at the same height of the soundbar and using the reflections of the lateral walls can listen like there are closely back or minimum more spaciality, my room is almost a square it's 3.75m high and 3.95m wide (12.3ft x 13ft) and my soundbar is like in 20cm in front the wall so is remaining only 3.55m and my spot of listening is 1.5m of the soundbar, can any give me some solutions or tips for this, and configurations in the app? PD: Sorry if my English isn't the best I'm Mexican and I don't speak English natively :)

SONOS ONE SL and ALEXA SKILLS setup is a nightmare

I have been trying to setup my SONOS ONE SL with Alexa skills (yes I know it doesn’t have a microphone) but both my echo dot 1 and echo dot latest gen have mics so I can give commands from them. Problem is I have disabled and deleted the skill and try to re-enable but whatever I do it doesn’t work and Alexa doesn’t seem to be able to find the device although the Sonos app is working normally.

sonos speaker connected and app says music is playing but not making sound

Often when connected to my sonos era 100 via Bluetooth and trying to play media, the media app will say it is playing but the speaker makes no sound. Sometimes turning the speaker off and on again will fix the issue. The speaker is not muted, and the phone and speaker are connected to the same wifi network. I can get the speaker to play a chime in the sonos app, so I don't believe it is a connection issue. This happens often enough that it's a real hassle. Anyone had this problem and successfully fixed it?

S1 and S2 on same device

i have downstairs rooms running on S2.  5 bedrooms all have Play 5s running on S1 system. It used to work ok. But when I open the S1 app all it does is find the S2 system and tell me to switch to the S2 app. It happens on all my devices. I used to have many more Sonos devices, including in other properties. I’ve sold them all since the Sonos S2 introduction fiasco.

Headphones and the Arc Ultra sound bar?

Is it true that using your headphones with the arc ultrasound bar you cannot simultaneously listen through the sound bar?

Soft Restart SONOS Speakers

Please can this be added as a feature? like many my plugs are behind heavy furniture and are hard to get to.  Unplugging from the speaker end is also tricky as the cable is connected very snuggly. If I only had to restart them once in a while, this would be ok.  Currently I have to restart them every couple of weeks to keep Apple AirPlay working. Many thanks,Danni.

Adding a song to one of my Deezer playlists

Before Sonos “updated/downgraded” its IOS app, it was possible to add a song I was listening to one of my Deezer playlists. This is no longer possible in the IOS app… but you can still do it if you use the desktop app!!!!Sonos… please put back this feature on the IOS app, this would make our user experience and journey so much better!

Symfonisk connection stability

I have bought in total 4 Symfonisks about a year ago. In theory they work fine but they have only seem to be getting worse in terms of music playback.My setup is only those symfonisks. I have one (symf1) hardwired to ethernet as it is close to the router. I don't have a very big house and it is all one floor, the furthest 1 symfonisk is, is at about 12 m (symf4, with direct line 4 walls in between. Furthermore, another one is in the bedroom at about 8 m with 2 walls inbetween both the symf1 as well as the router. I have tried also removing the ethernet (symf1) and rebooting all symfs but this didn't not help.I also tried putting all of them on 2.4GHz.They have switches over to Sonosnet a couple of times but it seems that they dont always keep that configuration.My wifi is really stable and high speed with low latency. All devices stay connected and have 0 issues with video calls. Also manual pinging shows consistently low values (<10ms with most of them 1-2ms). The issues I am getti

another update that was not properly rolled out?

In the past could have days every attempt to do anything in the Sonos app times out.  It doesn’t read my record player anymore, and the simple task of changing music preferences times out.    I have fantastic internet.. so it’s not me.   What’s happened?   I really don’t want to go through another badly planned upgrade.

Save Queue to a Sonos Playlist

Can anyone advise whether it is possible to save the current queue as a Sonos playlist using the IOS App?If yes, then could you please describe how to do this - I can’t find any option to achieve this basic function?If no, then why not?  Surely this basic function that was in the old App should be included?  If I’ve built myself a really nice set of songs in the queue how am I supposed to save it for future listening?  The only way I can see at present is to select each track in the queue individually and select ‘add to playlist’, which is a pretty sub-optimal solution?

Sonos One SL skips song/podcast when connecting from Spotify

When I connect to Sonos One SL from the spotify app, it skips the currently playing song/podcast and goes to the next one. This is particularly bothersome since I loose my progress in Podcasts.I have reset my Sonos several times, but the issue persist.How can I diagnose this issue further? Is there a log file on the Sonos that I can read?

Sonos update not found

I have moved with my play 1 and can’t get it to work on my new WiFi if anyone has any suggestions. It was previously connected to my dad’s soundbar so I am currently using an Ethernet cable to connect to my new WiFi. It is bro by recognised on the app but the app says it needs updating but then can’t seem to connect to actually update. I’ve tried resetting but it won’t turn green just stays stuck on orange. Any help is appreciated.
