Can you build a home theater system with four sonos era 300 speakers (two in the front and two in the rear?)

I cannot get my Sonos sub 3rd gen to connect to Sonos soundbar arc via wireless network.  

Hello All, I’m facing quite anoing issue with my Sonos ARC.While watching TV I cannot play sound via TV speaker. Always Sonos is forsing TV to play everything via Sonos Arc.Connected by HDMI Arc.All settings responsible for this adjustment in TV are  set no to act automatically in this scope.even if switched manually to play all sound via TVs speakers, after 1-2 seconds TV is sweatvhing into Sonos.with my previous soundbar from Sony, it was always possible to be decided.  

Can I run my Sonos from a phone ie ee as my wifi has gone down and we can not connect until 27th December?

Can you take the move on a plane in your hand luggage?

Hi I have Sonos arc and sub and 2 ceiling speakers wired to connect amp. Ceiling speakers have been working no problem with music but since grouping them as surround sound on the app there is no sound coming from them. I have a Samsung frame tv and I don’t see any settings there to adjust. I saw a post earlier that suggested removing the Ethernet cable to the arc which I did.  thanks. 

hi All, I cannot seem to load S1 controller on a new Mac with OS 13.6.1 with apple M2 processor.  Most of my system is first generation legacy.  Any ideas from the Sonos gurus in the community.  Many thanks in advance!  -Bill

For the past few months, I’ve been unable to AirPlay to my Sonos Beam. I’ve noticed others have had this issue, especially after a HomeKit update, but haven’t found a fix that works for my system. The best I’ve been able to do is a factory reset of the Sonos Beam which temporarily fixes the problem and allows me to AirPlay to the Sonos Beam but the problem comes back shortly thereafter. If anyone has ideas to fix this, I’d really appreciate it!If it makes a difference, the Sonos Beam is paired with two IKEA Symfonisk Bookshelf speakers. 

Når jeg søger med den nye søgning (anbefaling i app: “Prøv den nye søgning”) for jeg ingen resultater på YouSee Musik. Appen fremkommer med et rødt udråbstegn, og skriver at tjenesten ikke svarer.Skifter jeg til den klassiske søgning, modtager jeg de forventede søgeresultater - også fra YouSee Musik.Der må være en fejl i søgemotoren.

Current set up is a two 1st gen One speakers, a gen one sound bar and a 2nd gen One speaker. Of these speakers the soundbar and one of the 1st gen One speakers get used daily the other 1st gen and 2nd gen One speakers get occasional use. The problem I have is that more often than not when I fire up the app the 2nd gen speaker will be missing from the app and I’ll have to reboot the speaker and app, sometimes multiple times before it reappears. If it’s missing and I try and re-add it via the setup it will start the process but just time out. Once it is added it works absolutely fine for however long we use it. It’s left on permanently.  Wi-Fi setup does have range extenders however apart from warnings that this may cause playback issue when streaming through multiple speakers this has never caused any issues. Warning pops up but playback works perfectly across whatever speakers are selected so feels unlikely to be the issue. 

I have recently set up my surround sound using 2 ERA 300’s,  1 Arc and 1 Sub.During the set up it asked if I wanted to group the above speakers all with the same room name which I did.Question 1.  If I had not grouped as 1 room name, would I still had been able to set up as a complete surround sound set up?Question 2.   In this set up, Am I able to play music and just select the two ERA 300’s or do I have to play music through all of surround sound speakers?Question 3.  Now that I have added the ERA 300’s as surround speakers, can they be switched to a stereo pair if I was to change the set up so that they had their own room name.Question 4.  If they had their own room name, would I be able to switch back to the complete Surround sound set up when I watch TV?Thank you in advance.

I don’t recognise the email address I used to set up my account - I therefore don’t have the correct password either. Is there a way to reset it?

I have a turntable, an old Cambridge A500 amp and a Sonos port. I want to play through an Era300 but not hard wire it. is this a simple set up?

I watch you tube on iPad, can I run thru sonos

Hi, I have a Beam & 2 new Fives, all work fine separately and the fives work as a pair fine, but when I group them with the Beam they don't seem to sync up correctly 🤷 any ideas?Update, it seems to be fine when I group them when playing Spotify just when I group them to watch the TV there's an issue.

Some help please...Why can't I see both my Sonos speakers (Ray and Beam) that are set up as different rooms at the same time on the app? I can only see one at a time. When I’m in one of the rooms, I see that one. When I move to the other room, I have to both press the power button on the speaker and refresh the app and then I can see the speaker in this room, but the other one has disappeared. I have set up and connected both of them. Both are connected to TV’s  and work fine with the TVs. I can play music from only one speaker at a time ..when the app is connected to that speaker at that time. I want to group the two speakers together so i can play music from them both simultaneously, but the ‘group’ button/tab appears as faded light grey so is therefore unselectable (I’m assuming this is because the app is only recognising one room and that I have one speaker connected). How do I get to see the two speakers at once and have the two rooms show up on my app at the same time? Thanks in

Sonos BOOST Wireless Range Extender is no longer available through SONOS but can still be purchased through a third party (Argos, for example). Does anyone know why?

i am trying to connect (100's) as surrounds to my playbar / sub and only get an option to add my sonos amp which is powering speakers in a different room.. any ideas?

Hello,I have a Play 5 Gen 1 that stopped working.  I called Sonos support and after diagnostics they sent me an RMA number for a return for a discount code.  All of my other Sonos components are Gen 1, so I would like to purchase another refurbished Play 5 Gen 1, but I don't see one offered on Sonos.com.  Any help would be much appreciated!Thanks,Randy

I have an older system with an S1 connect interfaced as a source with an existing audio system.  What if any are the advantages of switching to an S2 connect and an S2 OS.  Is this the correct choice or is there another piece of connect hardware I should look at?  As near as I can tell Sonos no longer sells the S2 connect hardware as all I can find are used units.

Hi.  Bit of a technology dinosaur here. I’m looking to add a turntable to my current Sonos system (bridge, play:1 and play:3). What is the most cost effective route?

Error says: “Channel is encoded using an unsupported digital rights management system.”I have uninstalled and reinstalled the SiriusXM app, Sonos app, and the SiriusXM app to no avail.

Hi everybodyBlack friday is coming up and I would really like to get stuck into some Sonos products. Initially, I have to base it around my Project T1 turntable. I have the phono box E BT, so Bluetooth connectivity shouldn't be a problem. I need something that can start me off but can play a part in a set up for the future. Also one more question, my experience with wireless BT speakers is that they fizzle out quite fast, tbf that was Sony and JBL quality so I am assume Sonos is better...? Because I do need it to make to my ultimate set up for when I move out. Is it safer to go something that can plug in, or is that living in the past?Cheers for reading and would love to hear any suggestions.

Hi everyoneI’m a newbie Audiophile and love Hi-Res music but don’t fully understand what it’s all about other than the quality of sound is better.I have a Sonos system at home that comprises of an Arc, Sub and two One speakers L+R.I keep all my music files on my PC and a backup drive. These files are mostly Apple AAC/M4A format that I listen to through the Sonos app on my PC as well as on my phone.However, I recently purchased two Hi-Res albums online U2’s Achtung Baby and All That You Can’t Leave Behind. They are both 96Khz/24bit FLAC files but Sonos will not play them and brings up a message saying;“Unable to play this track - it is encoded at unsupported rate 24b96000Hz”Is there a way round this to play these files without compromising the sound? If this isn’t possible, then what are my options to play Hi-Res music through my Sonos speakers? I have been able to listen to Hi-Res music through my Sonos speakers but this was through using Amazon Music streaming service.Now I want to pl

We have a Sonos Roam and have successfully connected it to our Sony turntable. We wanted a better speaker so we got a Move 2. It will pair with the turntable but it wont play sound. The Sony needs A2DP compatible BT speakers to work. I can’t find any info that says which of the higher quality Sonos speakers are A2DP compatible. Thank you!
