Can a Playbase be connected to a DVD/CD player AND a TV at the same time?

Good evening, I have been setting up my new setup : 5 sonos one, 1 sub and one Sonos Beam for the Tv (with the optical port adaptor). I use the 5 speakers and the sub for spotify and everything works fine.Now, if i wanted to watch tv and have the sound on both the beam and the Sonos speakers. Is this actually even possible? How would i need to proceed? Create a new group (independant from the ones for Spotify ie 5 Sonos One and the Sub)? To do that setup does the Beam has to be connected to the TV through the optical cord or the regular Arc port? Also, how would the Sonos know they have to play the tv sound ? I did try to look for s similar question in topics and could not find what i needed - sorry if the questions was asked before. Many thanks in advance, Damien  

Hi everyone, I’m just redesigning my open plan lounge and the sofa shall be in the middle. My only options to wall mount are either offset to the left and right directly behind (but this about 2.5m) or directly to the left and right of the sofa again about 2.5m or so.is there a optimal placement out of the two? I could get stands for behind the sofa but I have 3 young children and fear them knocking them over.  my worry is if they’ll be loud enough that far away? For reference I’m running an arc and 2 x sub gen 3s also

hi, I have several Play:1 speakers and I’m thinking of buying a BEAM or RAY to connect to my TV. Will it be possible to stream my tv sound on the Play:1 devices ?

About 5 years ago this topic was dealt with (see below), but excuse my inexperience, I don’t quite understand the answer shown ie I cannot see where I have to make the change. Take pity on me, I am an S1 user. How and where on my S1 app to do I go? Many thanks.  Is there a way to add all my songs on my iphone to the queue in one step? Browse to "on this phone" then a play all. Same question for the PC controller. I find it very frustrating to have to build a playlist.iconBest answer by jgatieBrowse to the library either On This Phone or My Music Lubrary, choose Songs, choose Play All or Shuffle All.

I am wanting to set up a surround sound system in my basement. I have a sonos beam that will connect to the tv via hdmi arc. Then I have two in wall speakers (not sonos) that are above the tv to the left and right. I also have two ceiling speakers in the rear to the left and right. I also have a sony sub that I want to use. I would like all the speakers to play from my tv in sync. From what I read, I think that I will need two sonos amps, one to the front speakers, one to the rear speakers.Here are my questions:  How does the surround sound setup work with the beam? Do i choose the placement of the speakers on the app or something ? Which amp should i plug the sub into? Do i need to connect the amps to the tv via Hdmi arc and if so how would i go about doing that If not ^ and they work through internet, should I hardwire the beam and the 2 amps via ethernet? How reliable is this system vs a traditional AV receiver?

When I open the app, my Move speakers turn on (light on top of the unit comes on). How do I turn the speakers off with the app?

Hi I'm a Sonos partner and system integrator in the uk. we have a Sonos system at a clients house that has a very high level of security on their network, we are having huge issues with latency and the app sometimes taking 2-3 seconds to respond to a comment. I was unable to attend the recent online advanced network course and am unable to find it. can you please generate a case and give me a number so that we can raise this at the integrator - dealer level.  many thanks

Hello! Just a question. I have an Arc, 2 Play:1 and a  Sub (gen 2). Is it 5.1 or 7.1 ? Thanks in advance!

I just got an LG C3 Oled. I’m watching Top Gun Maverick on Prime in the LG Prime app. I have arc, sub, and era 300’s. TV to Arc is connected with the hdmi cable that came with the Sonos Arc. HDMI cable is plugged into eARC port. When I look at the Sonos app on my phone it shows Dolby Multichannel PCM 5.1. What am I missing?

Hi - I have a connect amp, two play 3s and two two play 1s. Everything about the system has become really unreliable recently, the iOS app constantly attempts something and fails (e.g. ‘unable to play) and says to ‘try again’. Recently it’s been unable to play certain playlists too. The connect amp has been dropping in and out constantly. Has anyone else been seeing odd/bad behavior? I’ve tried restarting everything, restarting my router, restarting the wifi etc., and I probably try killing the app once every few days at a minimum. I have been a huge fan and promotor of Sonos, but this has become really frustrating, it kills the Sonos value prop of ‘just works’.

I can`t find spotify or anyting else that costs something on sonos. Neither can i connect to my sonos speakers straight from spotify, it finds them, but doest connect. It was all possible before so is there somekind of an update that i cant find or what? 

Hi, my Roam is one-year old, I cannot switch it on anymore. It’s supposed to be charged, when I charge it, the orange LED is on for 5 seconds, but nothing happens when I press the button on the back to switch it on (no sound, no white LED on the front). Any idea what’s happening?

Has anyone found a solar panel that will successfully charge a Roam? 

How do I add a TuneIn Pro account (the one that suppresses introductory commercials from TuneIn) to Sonos?I purchased the TuneIn Pro app (NOT TuneIn Premium), and it works fine on the iPhone, but when I add the ‘TuneIn (New)’ option on Sonos, stations still play with lead-in commercials. I don’t want to use the TuneIn Premium subscription option.

How can I get more treble out of my system?

We have a pair of sonos speakers in the lounge paired in stereo, One & One SL, voice controlled by an Amazon Echo Dot, did try with the built in mic on the Sonos One but it didnt work that well, works great with the Echo Dot. I have just looked at buying another pair the same to use in another room and was dissapointed to see Sonos no longer sell them, i have looked everywere for some but just cant fine any for sale. There are a lot on Ebay but i am reluctant to buy from Ebay, past issues with purchases. The Era seems my only option, they are a bit pricey though, can they be paired in stereo, i see they have a in line connection, could i connect a compact disc player to them and play music in Stereo, i have a LOT of cds and being able to play them again on a decent speaker would be a bonus. i keep looking on Sonos Refurbished just in case they put any One’s or SL’s for sale. Any help or advise appreciated

Hi, today I upgraded my Beam 1 to a Beam 2. I have two One surround speakers and a mini sub.I’m using a 2022 LG Oled with earc, I own, Switch, PS5, Xbox series X and Apple tv. Now, since upgrading I’m totally lost what my settings for each should be :( Currently with switch I’m getting Multichannel PCM 5.1. Which is what I should be getting.But on PS5 I set my settings to Dolby Atmos but the sonos app tells me that the audio is multichannel PCM 7.1. Even when using a Atmos game. Apple TVis also showing as multichannel PCM 7.1  Is that the correct audio that I should be getting as my system is only 5.1? Why 7.1 and not dolby?On Xbox, I have set it to Dolby atmos and with that it shows as Atmos in the app. But then I read that atmos on Series X has a delay. So, I'm lost as to what my best settings should be. Can someone here please be kind enough to what the best TV/console settings are for each device? I’ve done a search but there does not seem to be any PS5 settings suggested after it
