Is there a way to set a compensation factor for the low sound volume from the Roam?In different rooms I have Arc with Sub and One SLs, Beams, Ones, Move etc, and in the hallway a Roam - all grouped together, with the same sound level, and they all sound just as much, except for the Roam which I hardly ever hear and could do just as good without. I don’t want to play especially loud with the Roam, just *as* loud as the other speaker combinations.

Hello! I'm considering buying a second Sonos 5 speaker so as to have a true "stereo" experience with my turntable. My question is whether this would be worth it. Does a second Sonos five, paired for stereo, make a major difference in terms of sound quality/audio separation? Or is pretty similar?   For context, right now I have Gen 2 Sonos 5 plugged into a Pro-Ject T1 turntable. Generally, the sound is great. The room isn't too big and I don't have complaints.  BUT...If there's a chance sound would be substantially improved, I might make the leap. The set up is such so that speakers would have to be laid out horizontally rather than vertically. I was also wondering about line in issues, as with a paired set, only one of the speakers would have the advantage of being directly "plugged in" into the speaker. Would this make left/right channel sound slightly different from each other?  If anyone has actually made the change from a turntable hooked into one sonos 5, and then added a second, 

Alexa announcements generated from Alexa routines do not work on my Sonos One (2nd Gen). Although, announcements do work from voice activated commands.Announcement through routines also seem to work fine on Beam and Arc, it's just my Ones that it does not work. Confirmed the Ones have alexa setup properly.This was a previous tropic, but that topic was closed, and no resolutions were provided. So, I’m re-opening this issue. The last one got a response that it would be investigated, but I could not find any additional follow up.Alexa announcements not working from routines | Sonos CommunityThanks for your help!  

I’m in the UK but when I search to add BBC Sounds it isn’t showing in Music Services?thanksDavid

SMB 2 and 3 supposed to be supported but always fails indexing a library on a NAS. Have to switch SMB1 on to enable indexing. Once done switch off and will load and play library.Synology DS723+DSM 7.2.1-69057 update 3Mac Sonama with S2 build 15.11.Anyone solved this? I read a post about it all working fine, but not for me. 100s of posts out there. 

Seems like this topic has been covered in various forms but still haven’t found a solution. Have a Sonos Beam 2 connected to the Samsung Frame box via HDMI3 (eArc). When watching any content on the TV the audio drops every few seconds.The strange thing is if I set HDMI eArc from “Auto” to “Off” in the Samsung settings the problem resolves. But then the next time I turn the TV back on it’s not connected to the Beam so this doesn’t really solve my issue.Anyone figure this out definitively?

I’m a little addicted to these speakers , and over the years have accumulated 10 of them. In one big room. Plus a sound bar by the TV  I’m told I should set them up as surround but that function is not working. Then I read that I should not do stereo pairs.  So they are grouped together in one room, and one is stereo paired.  I only did one because it said with that many speakers , do not pair them all as stereo. They sound awesome but I confess I’m not sure the best way to arrange these.  I know many of you guys are smarter about this and I am. So what do you suggest?  Thank you!

I just moved so I’m reconfiguring my system. I have a Playbar I used for TV and a Play5 and a sub for music. What I would like to do is buy a second Play5. I would have the Play5s on each side of the TV grouped with the Playbar and sub for theater, and have a second group, minus the Playbar for music. Can I do that? Everything I’ve read is either very confusing or a no! Thanks for your help.

Hi,I have a few Sonos devices in the house. Most work fine, but two Play:1 speakers upstairs have poor wifi.What are my options to improve it? Can I wire them into the network? Or will that cause issues for the rest of my Sonos setup?

It seems all my SONOS equipment can connect to my router on the “5G” network, except for my Beam. It’s still looking for a 2.4G network.  I’ve done some band steering on my router to create the 2.4G network and it seems to be happy; however, I’d like to have everything on the same band if I can (no biggie if I can’t).  My equipment seems to be up-to-date with software - according to the app.  I’m using the T-Mobile 5G Gateway as my Router/WiFi system.  Also, how do I verify if I have a Gen 1 or 2 Beam?I have the following SONOS equipment:2x Move1Arc+2 SL One+SubBean+2x SL One+mini-Sub2x Ports Thanks,Nick. 

Hello,I've been using Sonos for some time around the house but recently decided I’d like to streamline the sound where my DJ setup is. I got 2x Era 300, Sub, and ran it through Port. The idea was that I could get rid of my amp, wires, and bulky speakers. I set it up and it sounds incredible. That is until I tried to mix and learned about the built-in latency. I called support and they recommended getting the line-in adapter and going in directly without Port. That made the situation even worse. The lag is a couple of seconds at least.I’m hoping someone out there has found a solution to the lag...I really don’t want to return all the gear and start again with something else!

Hello,How i do connect SONOS ARC900 to ONKYO receiver TX-NR6100?

Hi everyone - hope someone mjght be able to help. I have a new Sonos Arc and am trying to get it to stream 5.1 content. The Arc’s working with a SUB and 2 x ONEs as surround speakers.  The Arc is connected using the ARC socket (HDMI 4) on my Sony TV - it’s not the newest so doesn’t have eARC.  I’ve tried content from Netflix, Disney+ and Prime Video from a variety of sources, and yet ony one (Netflix on the Google TV app) will stream in 5.1. Can anyone help please?  So far, I’ve only been able to determine that the Sky Q box (UK set top box) is not able to output Dolby Atmos - though not sure about 5.1Many thanks. =====Netflix - MiB3Google TV app: 5.1 ✔️ Sky Q app: PCMApple TV: PCM Disney - Ashoka Google TV app: PCMSky Q app: PCMApple TV: PCM  Prime - Candy Cane LaneGoogle TV app:  PCMSky Q app: PCMApple TV: PCM 

I have a Pro-Ject T1 connected to a Sonos Port. I have several pairs of speakers throughout the house. I’m playing Jimi Hendrix Cry of Love everywhere. In each case the sound only plays through the right speaker in each stereo pair. The volume is fine, just no stereo pair when playing through the port. All other sources play fine. I’ve checked the balance on the Port and other stereo pairs. It all in the middle. I’m using the RCA cables that came with the Pro-Ject T1. Any ideas how to resolve this? Thanks,David

I’ve got two rooms with a single Sonos OneSL each.  The third room had two Sonos OneSLs in a stereo pair.  All the speakers are wired to ethernet.  Grouping the rooms worked flawlessly.I recently added a tv and a Beam to the third room.  The Beam is paired with the two Sonos OneSLs.  The beam was not initially wired to ethernet.  When this third room is put into a group, music will play throughout the building, but after some random amount of time the third room drops out of the group and will be listed in the Sonos app separately from the group.For the first week or two the Beam was not wired to ethernet, so I wired it up hoping to resolve this issue.  After about a month, the issue repeats each time I group the third room with another room.

Sonos Roam, Sonos android app, trying to create a playlist of “BBC6 music” (via “Sonos Radio Station”), TripleJ (“TuneIn Station”, Australian radio) and DoubleJ (also via “TuneIn Station”).The three are in the “Stations” but weirdly only BBC6 can be added into “Favorites”.Anyway, the goal is to go to the next/prev station by double/triple tapping on the speaker’s “play” button, is there a way to achieve such thing? Thanks,

Over the past few weeks, I noticed my Sonos speaker with Google Assistant is not registering commands to control music. I can ask Google to play music and ask what music is playing, but when I ask it to stop music, it says no music is playing. I deregistered Sonos from the Google app and unlinked Spotify and then set everything up again, but this didn’t work. I think there’s a bug with either Google Assistant or Spotify, but I think it’s Spotify. Also having the same issue with the Amazon Alexa voice. Only thing that’s working is the Sonos voice. Anyone else experiencing this?

Hi everyone,I've encountered a problem that i hope that you can help me with.My TV supports Atmos but after connecting an Apple TV 4k 3rd generation it wont work, in fact on the apple TV menu it doesnt show, theres supposed to be an "Immersive Sound" option.My Beam 2 Generation is connected through the ARC(Not eArc, but as far as i could see it shouldnt matter), apple TV into normal HDMI.My TV is a LG 65sj810v-za. I managed to toggle "Bypass" and i also tried passing both as "auto" and PCM, however nothing seems to work...Dolby Vision and 4k works on the apple tv, i can get it to play 5.1 aswell but as i said, the Apple TV wont recognize it as Atmos. My TV will play atmos when i stream through the tv and not ATV.Does anyone have any suggestions to how i can fix this?

I have a Sonos Connect that just started cutting in/out while playing music. The sound doesn't cut out on any other Sonos devices that I have on the same wifi. Nothing has changed in the house and I don’t have any neighbors close enough that the could have a wifi interfere with mine. I have tried different steaming services, I have run different input devices on the tuner and they all work fine. It seems like I'm down to the Connect being the issue. Any thoughts on something else I can try?

  Currently, I am using a Sonos Amp with 2x DIY speakers. I would like to expand this setup with 2x surround speakers. Therefore, is it possible to connect 2x Sonos One's speakers to the existing amp so that I can create a 4.0 surround setup?Thanks! 

Just one of my five zones needs Sonos wireless comms, the rest are all ethernet wired back to the router, This one zone is an Echo Show wired to the line in of a Connect. The Connect line in is set up to autoplay to a Play 1 pair + Sub. All zones are set up to use Sonos net.When all zones but the referred one are powered off, the play 1 pair+ Sub will still play music that the Echo sends to the Connect. This must be via an independent WiFi comms set up from the Connect to Play 1 pair + Sub. The question I have is if running an easily run ethernet wire from the Connect to one or both play 1 units will enhance music play stability or hinder it.To eliminate some occasional stutter I have set the delay to the max of 2000 ms, but I cannot be sure if that is in the wireless stream to the Show, or downstream of it in the Sonos components.

Quick question.   I'm not tech savvy so laymans terms please.My elderly neighbours (avid gardeners) have just purchased a Sonos Roam.  They want to be able to leave their mobile phones inside and have the Roam outside under the verandah so that when their mobiles ring they hear it through the speaker.  I've read they can't answer via the speaker but is it possible to connect to hear the ringing? If it is, where do I find the instructions to connect it please.Thank you.

I need to reset my generation 3 sub. I had to exchange my arc for a new one. I can’t get it to link to my new arc. Can someone help me with the reset process? Thanks 

Can I turn the sync between the speakers on and off
