I’ve just ordered an AWOL Aetherion max projector, and I’m planning on an Arc ultra and Era 300 set up. I’ve just got off the phone with Sonos and they told me that their products are designed for use with TV’s not projectors and that there could be a syncing issue if I try and connect this set up to a UST projector. The projector does have an HDMI eArc connector. Before I spend a lot of money can anyone advise me if there may be some truth in what Sonos are saying or would I expect no problems at all? Thanks

What does the exclamation sign in the battery signal mean?Sometimes when my Roam2 is loading the batterie at the batterie sign appears an exclamation sign instead the flash which indicates the batterie is loading, on both cases (the flash & the exclamation sign) the percentage of batterie appears on aside.Thanks for your help.

I almost only play Applemusic on my Sonos. I prefer to use AirPlay because to me it seems that if I play directly from the Sonos app, my plays are not registered in Apple Replay. Recently played songs are not listed in Apple Musics recently played list.  Neither can I see my songs played in stats.fm Does anybody know if there is a way to register that? I would like to play from the Sonos app but I will not lose my “history” by doing that.  K.R. John

I’ve read some of the threads on here about Airplay 1 support being broken with a firmware, which, if I’m reading correctly, have been resolve? I’m not sure if my issue is related but I’ll try to describe it as best I can.I have an Era 100 that I purchased several years back, and which I use pretty exclusively by Airplaying from Lyrion Music Server with the Airplay Bridge plugin (which uses ROAP protocol). I just purchased a second Era 100, and opened up my Sonos app for the first time in years so that I could set it up. While I was at it I updated the software on my older Era 100, and now both speakers are running version 93.1-74010. This was the first time I updated the software on the older speaker since I bought it, and maybe that’s why I never ran into the issue where an update broke Airplay 1 support for over a year or so.But now I find that the older speaker works with Airplay 1 just fine, but the newer one does not. Both speakers can be used as a device from the Spotify app on

Is anyone in Sonos support aware of the following intermittent AirPlay bug that has been introduced as of iOS 26.2? There appear to be quite a few people experiencing it, including me on two independent, physically disjoint Sonos systems.While it is likely to be a bug introduced on the Apple side of the connection, with networking you never know for sure, so perhaps Sonos support should reach out to Apple about it.AirPlay Bug Report on RedditDave Ings

Google Assistant no longer controls the volume on my Sonos One. Typical dialog:Q: OK Google. What’s the volume?A: The volume is set at 75%Q: OK Google, set volume 50%A: Got it(no change)Q: OK Google. What’s the volume?A: The volume is set at 75%Q: OK Google. Lower the volume.A: OKQ: OK Google. What’s the volume?A: The volume is set at 75%

Sigh. Apologies for being a wet blanket, but after I got the Android lock screen controls, I thought it would be somewhat useful. But,after a few days, I find I don’t make use of it, and it takes a great deal of space in the notification pane. Also, it seems to come and go; it is not consistently there when I play something. Worse, I see now that there’s a musical note icon on my Pixel watch that brings up a mini Sonos controller. This might be useful; however, it is located in the same place as the notification dot, and with my fat finger I am constantly bringing up the controller when I want the notification. I can’t find a way to disable having this on my watch. So, I’d like to disable the lock screen on the app, but I see no way of doing that. Perhaps it is a phone setting, but I haven’t been able to find that either. Any help would be appreciated. I’m on a Pixel 10 and a Pixel 3 watch BTW.

Hi, Will owners of Sonos V1 hardware be able to use our 30% credit on purchasing an AMP Multi? Can we self install? The website says Find an Installer…Ther website says that there are no Installers for AMP Multi in Melbourne, Australia!   

I have an arc ultra, sub four and two era 300s that comprise my home theater surround system. As near as I can tell I should not need to add anything else, but I am wondering if I can.The other thing I’m wondering about is can I take two era 100s Into an adjacent room for the purposes of listening to music or will that conflict with my surrounding system since the second room is very close to my surround system?

Hi,I’ve two parallel systems - S1 app running some ZP80s and Gen 1 Play 3s, and S2 app for Move 2, Play 5 Gen 2 and Roam.  I have a Move 1 which its just easier to have on the S1 app but tonight the S1 app is now stuck in an update loop; “requires update”, click “not now” and just goes back to the list of zones with the Move showing the spanner and “Needs update”.  It’s also occasionally looping a screen telling me all my devices are S2 compatible and suggesting I open the S2 app to control them.  That’s obviously wrong and will end up bricking my ZPs and probably my Gen 1 Play 3s.  Not sure why this suddently started happening.  Any ideas gratefully received ThanksDave

Upgrading from Beam to Arc. Do I need to remove the Beam from my system first?

Chatgpt says they are gone with the ‘new’ app?? What? I can force them to appear when adding songs … but how on earth do I navigate to them… wonderful ux… gosh 

Anyone else getting this? When you click the play triangle, it shows the square stop for a moment (which shows when it’s playing), and then goes back to the play triangle. The infinite mix channels are fine, but Live on 1 and Live on 2 are not working.

How can I connect my Beam to a windows computer having an S/PDIF audio socket?

Hi-How can I connect my audio-technical AT-LP60 to my Sonos beam (which is also connected to two Sonos 1)? 

I currently use a Marantz NR1200 as my amp and am looking to add an element of surround sound to my tv set up. I was hoping to add the Sonos Ultra arc to give me a more cinematic experience. Will the Sonas Ultra arc be compatible with my existing amp??? 

Can someone tell me if there’s a cheaper way to connect an era 100 to a turntable that doesn’t have bluetooth

I have had my Arc Ultra along with two Era 100 and a sub mini for about a month. This is by far the best sound I have ever had watching Movies, TV, etc... I'm incredibly satisfied... But.As title says, when I play PS5 games (only console I have), the in-game volume is way too quiet. The Sonos volume is adjusted to what I like (50/100) and volume is great in everything, TV, AppleTV, watching movies, etc... The volume is also right in the PS5 menu. Like, normal level across all devices. But in-game is way too quiet.My TV (LG C1) audio is set to HDMI eARC on passthrough. The PS5 is set to Sound Bar, Dolby Atmos (tried Linear PCM too). I have tried numerious combinations of these settings. No luck. When I'm in game, the Sonos app reports Dolby Atmos output. (Multichannel PCM 7.1 if I set the PS5 to Linear PCM)The in-game audio settings are not at play here. They're maxed out. This is happening with all games I could test.I've seen people say "Just raise the volume when in game" - but then

Hi, I have recently upgraded my entire Home Cinema setup and am getting results I don’t fully understand.When I play Dolby Atmos content (media in local network, often DDP with Atmos) I get different results shown in te Sonos app depending on where I play it:Plex app, client on Sony TV (Google TV) → Sonos app displays “Dolby Atmos”  Plex app, client on AppleTV 4K (3. gen) → Sonos app displays “Multichannel PCM 5.1” My question:Is Sonos simply not ‘labelling’ the audio format correctly in the Sonos app when playing via AppleTV, or is the audio actually being ‘downgraded’ to 5.1 and the Atmos being lost?Just for context, my setup is Sonos Arc Ultra (connected to TV via HDMI, eARC) Sony Bravia 8 II Apple TV 4K (Plex server running on macmini, content stored on NAS)

For years i have used my Google Assistant automation routine “Hey Google, Local news” to play my local new radio station. I use a routine because every once in a while Google stops recognizing  the station name and needs a different name to work. I just change the routine so I can keep on saying “Local news” as usual.But a new bug cropped up today. Google Assistant running on my Google Home speakers still plays the correct station from the Play Radio Station command in the routine, but Sonos instead tries to play a Spotify playlist instead of a radio station. Something is newly being lost in translation between Google and Sonos.I have fixed it for the moment by changing the routine command to say specifically to play the station from Tune In.

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
