Can I not run both the s1 and s2 apps in my household? I’m so confused. I recently bought the Roam for on the go and it won’t let me setup. I have 7-8 sonos devices from over probably 8 years and I know some are legacy and some are not. At this point, I have to figure out how to settle all that but I want my portable roam to work soon. Do I have to erase my prior Sonos life to get this done?

Just bought an arc soundbar and trying to connect it to a Samsung Q series via hdmi arc port and system thinks the soundbar is a now tv device. Soundbar works fine as a speaker but can’t connect it to tv.  Any ideas anyone?

Hi,I have a Samsung Q70AA 65” TV and recently upgraded to ARC, Sub and ERA100 in a home theater setup. I have connected the ARC using the HDMI cable to the eARC HDMI on the TV set and ran through the normal setup process. However, now the audio is skipping out for a few seconds every few minutes which is really annoying. Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi,I am using Apple Music and actually I have noticed that a lot of playlists are missing in Sonos - in the native apple music app there are lot more resuts showing than in Sonos.e.g. if I search for “christmas”, then apple music gives me around 50-100 playlists as result. The same is if I search for “party”.But in Sonos i get only 10-15 as a result - this are all playlists for “christmas”: Even worse is the result on “amazon music” - there is not a playlist at all (this is the whole result page): After digging into deeper, I found out, that the result is that bad when using the “new search”. If I switch to classic, then I get this for e.g. amazon (note that the result is even longer, I just cutted it): So it seems that the new search is still missing a lot of results, or can I fix this by reindexing the search or anything else? best regardsVoodopupp

HiLooking to replace my existing Yamaha 5.1 system with an Arc.  Doing so to de-clutter the room.  I already have in-ceiling Yamaha rear speakers (wired) which I was hoping I could utilise.  From what Ive read, looks like I need to get an Arc and a Sonos Amp.  Some questions I had: Are there any known issues with using Yamaha in-ceiling rear speakers? Am I correct in assuming I need an Amp for the rears?  Any way to connect them to the soundbar directly? From a sound perspective, is it worth buying an Amp just to connect rear speakers?  Not using any other Sonos product.  Just want good surround sound. Does the Arc have google home inbuilt?  I have a dedicated good home speaker.  Was hoping  to sell the existing google home speaker and use google home via ARCAll my TV shows/Movies will be coming from a Apple TV device connected to my Samsung TV..  We mainly watch shows on Netflix and ABC iView.. Thanks 

I recently had a frustrating experience with my SONOS Roam. I took it travelling, and by mistake, when trying to turn it off, I reset it. I was not on my home network and in a hotel, and there was no way to initialize it again. I looked on help forums, and they all talked about using two devices and connecting to one device and hotspotting to another. I tried this at length (and I am comfortable with troubleshooting), and NOTHING worked. The fact that I have a Bluetooth speaker that cannot be set up and used solely as a Bluetooth speaker is so frustrating.  Why not have a setting where, out of the box, you can use it on Bluetooth alone -- I am now carrying around a paperweight, and I can do nothing until I am back at home. Please HELP!

How to connect receiver that I has now to here cds, tapes radio to a Sonos port?  Do I need to connect to the place where the wired speakers are now?

I have two Era 300s, that I have just setup as a stereo pair.  When I attempt to play a record, using the line in into the right speaker, the sound keeps cutting in and out of the left speaker.  Wired connections are solid from the preamp into the right speaker, and both have “good/excellent” wifi connections.  Any ideas on solutions, or directions to existing threads on the same issue would be much appreciated!

Hi there. Can I connect the Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Sonos Ed. turntable to a conventional, non Sonos amplifier? C

I have a Sonos Beam by my TV that always works and shows on the app. I have 4 Sonos One SLs that work but every few days they disappear from the app. I have tried unplugging, searching for the them when reconnecting. Restarting my router. I have followed all directions. it is now becoming so frustrating I want to throw them out. sometimes it will work and I will see “living Room, kitchen, bedroom, garage” appear so I can group together to play music. but every now and then they all disappear. Can anyone help? And yes I have tried unplugging them all together and doing individually. I have strong WiFi and never had an issue nor changed it.

Anyone else getting the issue that when Spotify gets to an advert, then it stops?you have to go into the app and pause and play and then it will continue.  Everything else is working ok and no network issues, just Spotify stopping for ads. 

My system has started randomly playing different speakers after they have all been shutdown. It may start one on a porch or it might start several. I just shutdown all music to all speakers and verified they were stopped and it randomly started one back again after a few minutes. 

I would like to set up surround sound as well as full mono for music with an existing setup if possible. I have hardwired with 12/4 gauge wire at the four corners of a rectangular pool with rock speakers  from Niles Audio Rs8si (now known as proficient audio). I have two amps and a Sonos arc (arc used as center) at the small end of pool on porch. is it possible to switch back and forth from surround sound and then mono and or stereo mode for music.  other than red black wiring only is there a better way to wire up?  when I called Proficient/Niles the senior service engineer t sent me a mapping of the wires to allow for greater dispersion with surround. but not sure if it’s compatible with Sonos amp My installer says I had to choose between mono and surround     

I have several Sonos one speakers and 2 Era 100s.  They were all working fine.  I get a message that the Era speakers need an update and when I started the update I got Error Code 30.  I called support and they say that the Era speakers will not communicate with my Spectrum router.  But they used to work on this router until the update.  I’m about ready to return the speakers.  Any ideas on how to get them to work?

“Unable to connect to Sonos Lets fix it”Home wifi network is always up. Sonos every couple of weeks loses the network.  Finds the devices then ask to reboot my home router.  My Home router is working NO reason to reboot.  I off/on speaker for 5 sec.  So then app find multiple systems. “let’s confirm”.  Find my Qty 2 era 100’s with Mac address. So far so good right?   I have to rejoin the same network.   “connecting’ takes minutes.”then time out.  I do this 2 -3 times and it connects eventually.  Speakers are in the same room as the router.   Other devices in different rooms and floors are connected and stay connected.   What is the deal with the Sonos Network?

Hola,Os escribo para ver si me podéis echar una mano.Primero os cuento lo que tengo:TV Lg C2 AppleTv 4k 2023 Sonos arc con sub mas dos One conectados al puerto eArc de la Tv.El motivo por el que os escribo es que en algunas ocasiones al reproducir desde el AppleTv contenido en multicanal PCM 5.1 o 7.1 no se reproduce la pista de audio principal por la Arc y se reproduce por los One, para que se reproduzca correctamente tengo que salir de la reproducciones y volver a entrar varias ocasiones hasta que se reproduce correctamente.Por mas que he tocado la confirmación de la Tv y del AppleTv no he conseguido que deje de hacerlo y solo cuando configuro la Tv en modo transferencias parece que no lo hace pero no se reproducen todos los sonidos como cuando está en automático. Todas las configuraciones de la Tv los tengo en Automático y Bitstream.La gente de Sonos estuvo analizando los logs de diagnóstico y no encontraron nada.Desde la Tv desconozco si se comporta de esta manera ya que siempre us

I have a couple of Play 5’s in my media room.  I want to add a soundbar and send the sound from the TV to the sound bar through the HDMI Arc cable.    question, can the play 5’s be wirelessly grouped with the soundbar (such as the Arc) so sound will automatically come from all three speakers 

Hi everyone !i finally bite the bullet and got a sonos sound system. I ordered beam gen 2 first and in my 18 sq meter living room i was a tad underwhelmed. I read so much about it and also checked it myself in department store and i was waowed but… at home it felt a bjt underwhelming. Clarity was amazing but almost i can say it was rich enough. I got sub mini and that was a game changer. Dverything elevated! Sound was fuller and richer. I can genuinely hear the difference and felt what everyone was saying (sub mini will help beam to offload the low frequencies). anyway, after my long winded entrance….lets talk about surrounds. Era 100 s were next to order. They havent arrived yet but i am already regretting a bit my purchase since i feel like it wont be that different for a surround speaker compared to sonos one. I know there is an extra tweeter and mid woofer bigger etc. But… i wondered if i am gonna be still ok with a second hand cheaper sonos one for rear. thoughts? Anyone tried bot

We are a bar/cafe. We have 2 Sonos Ones mounted high up (we need a ladder to reach them if that's useful to know) from which we play Spotify through our wifi connection, from an iPad mounted to the bar.We now want to set up a (preferably Audio Technica) turntable to play vinyl records. It's important that we're able to switch between the turntable and Spotify seamlessly and we want to avoid the cost/clutter of wires. Is there any way to connect a turntable, wirelessly, to our existing Sonos setup? I’ve read that we can use a Sonos Port or a Sonos Roam but I want to make sure its easy to switch between Spotify and Vinyl.Thank you for your help.

I’ve a reasonable Sonos system consisting of various One’s Move, Playbase, Sub etc. I quite often do a full group play around the house while doing stuff. It’s not that often though I sit in from of my Mac and listen to music on one individual Beam. I had been aware though with YouTube that the sound of definitely around 70/30 to the left in pan. Made more aware of it this evening while listening to some actual music.  I’ve tried various sources, Mac via hardwired HDMI through a CALDigit TB3 Hub (normal setup)Tried airplay from my Mac, iPhone, iPad but all with the same pan issue. I do however have a second Beam connected to a TV in one of the bedrooms. Quick swap out and the issue persists.Double checked the stereo on the Playbase and that’s perfectly down the middle.  Any advice please?

Long but narrow room 17ft x9ft my seating position is 6ft away from sound bar and TV, my sofa is up against the wall so rears would be about 7or 8 inches behind me.So my set up Will be the arc and gen 3 sub and I'm thinking of getting the era 100's as rear suround, will the sound bar drown the rears out or will I still achieve suround sound. 

I have a Sonos system that I bought a long time ago, but I Play 1, sub, bar and boost that I have enjoy using for a long time. My dad's friend gave me his old Play 3 that he haven't used for awhile. I tried to reset the Play 3 and add to my system but the Sonos app keeps giving me a warning that the app can't connect to the Play 3 and to contact customer service.I looked up YouTube videos and read that I need to factory reset the speaker than add it. I tried the methods by unplugging, holding down the "mute" button and then plug it back in and wait till the Led turns Amber then green.Well, the speaker LED turns Amber than flash white and the mute button flashes green. I never see the LED flash green. I also tried holding down the volume up + mute button and all I get is the Amber LED and a flashing white LED and flashing Green mute button. Still can't add the Play 3 to my system.Any suggestions?
