I have an Arc SL connected to and mounted below the TV. In the same room behind the couch I have a Connect:Amp with my turntable as input and 2 passive bookcase speakers + a non-sonos subwoofer as output. The bookcase speakers and sub are perfectly positioned for complete surround sound. But since the Arc and Connect:Amp are on the different versions of the app, I can’t get them to work together. Is there a decent workaround for this that would give perfectly synchronized audio? Or is the best option to upgrade my Connect:Amp to the next generation Amp?

I bought thr Sonos ERA 100 speakers and want to play them along with my other speakers which are connected to a ONKYO TXRZ720 (not sonos compatible) receiver.  How do I connect the sonos to my receiver so I can listen to all my speakers or is this not possible.  If not would a sonos port work and how would it be setup with my onkyo receiver?Thanks.

Hi Everyone, I have an open plan living room with a play5, 2x Sonos ones and a beam and a sub.Occasionally we like to have parties and at the moment I’ve all the Sonos app at 100% for all speakers and it still doesn’t sound loud enough to feel like you want to dance. It’s not quiet but it’s not loud enough to sound like you are out somewhere.  Any advise to make it louder? I brought the extra speakers thinking it would make it louder but it doesn’t seem to increase the volume when you add another speaker - it just means it doesn’t get quieter when you walk around the room as there is solid coverage around the room. thanks for any recommendations you may have?

Hi,  I have a Sono amp with two wired ceiling speakers.  I want to add two Sono speakers to the outside area to play the same as the kitchen speaker.  However I only have one wire to the outside.  Is it ok the wired the two outside speaker in series and if so do I need any extra devices.Thanks for an6 advice

Era 100 won’t connect to wifi. Finds our network but with changes name and won’t connect with correct password.

When a sub is added to a SONOS system, does Sonos redistribute the audio power such that the soundbar and surrounds receive high passed frequencies and their speakers are therefore able to handle more mid / high frequency power in their optimum response bands?

How do I connect an Astell & Kern SP2000T to the ERA 300 and get high res sound ?

I just ordered a set of era 100’s and I’m wondering if you are able to turn the speaker on Sonos mount to accommodate the angle needed for rear speaker setup, is the speaker round or oblong? The 17 degree swivel isn’t enough as they will be directly behind the sofa that backs up against the wall.  Hope that’s more clear than mud :)

My play 5 is on the network in my house while my play one speakers ended up on the other network with  google.  How can I get the play one speakers on the same network?   I have tried a factory rest. 

Trying to find the best Sonos speaker for this vinyl player

Sub is paired to the Arc....the startup sound when linking the sub is very impressive but after that the sub is exceptionally low and imperceptible...checked wifi setting toom position etc. No luck. I have looked at many responses to the same problem and found no solutions that work

Hola , actualmente tengo un equipo de cine sonos formado por una sonos arc , un sub (2 gen) y dos sonos one (1 gen) . Estoy pensando en sustituir los dos sonos one traseros por dos sonos five y me gustaría saber , ¿ merece la pena ? Notaré la diferencia? Yo sé que en cine posiblemente no , pero quiero saber si para escuchar música , dando más protagonismo a los traseros mejorará el sonido de escucha . Muchas gracias  Moderator Note: Translation by Google TranslateHello, I currently have a Sonos cinema equipment made up of a Sonos arc, a sub (2 gen) and two Sonos one (1 gen). I am thinking of replacing the two rear Sonos Ones with two Sonos Fives and I would like to know, is it worth it? Will I notice the difference? I know that possibly not in movies, but I want to know if when listening to music, giving more prominence to the rear will improve the listening sound. Thank you so much

Recenly purchased a new Sony Bravia XR90L.My soundbar connects via an optical cable, but the TV requires a HDMI connection.Is there an adapter than can convert the connection from the optical to HDMI.Thank you

I've recently purchased a Sonos Arc and it sounds great but I have an issue which is best described as the bass going over my head. I've got an area with 8ft ceilings, 9ft wide (tv/bar centred) and 6.5ft sitting distance from the soundbar with a large area behind me, the bar height sits just under chin level in my viewing position. Everything sounds nice, great Atmos effect and clarity, what I'm finding though is a huge increase in bass if I stand 3ft+ behind my sitting position. To compare the difference, in my sitting position it sounds balanced or even on the mild side for bass, when standing behind it sounds like there's a small sub involved, a large increase. I don't own any Apple products so I'm unable to use the tuning features, would tuning it bring the bass in to my sitting area? Any advice would be great, thanks.

Please add the ability to disable bluetooth (in addition to wifi, as already permitted) after connecting ethernet to the Era 300s and ARC.  Allow it to be reenabled with an existing button or after temporarily disconnecting the ethernet. Having the bluetooth transmitting RF in close proximity to the viewer’s head is not desirable to many individuals if the system is already hardwired.  This is especially relevant to placement of the era 300s as rear speakers (in some cases approx 30cm away).  Personally, this modification would finally spur me to purchase the era 300s.  

I have 4 of the in celing speakers in my house and im wondering if i can use the line in feature to connect to my ddj FLX 10 which has line in outputs. Im asking rather than testing as i dont currently own a cable thats long enough so wondering if anyone has tested this? 

For some reason my 2 play One speakers will not stay connected.  This is new as I had the 2 play Ones connected with my play Five.  They are all on Wi-Fi and the connection is excellent.  Additionally , I have done the factory reset on the play Ones twice.   They connect for a minute and drop off   I haven’t made any changes to my network,etc   Any help would be appreciated 

I have just brought Beam 2 but try as I might it will not connect to WiFi , I have rebooted my Sky broadband to no avail , I have two Sonos rear speakers both connect to Sky. Go though so many reboots but the app sill can’t find the beam even though it asks in I want to add beam ?it I can fix it soon it’s going back ! As not fit for purpose 

Considering purchasing a Roam SL for travel use.  It would not be connected to a WiFi system since most places I travel do not have reliable WiFi.  It would be connected to either Bluetooth or Airplay on my iphone.  I would be able to do any initial setup with it connected to WiFi as part of my home Sonos system.My question is:  Would I still be able to use the alarm function?  That is, would the speaker wake up and play music?  Would using my phone as a hotspot work or be needed?Or, how would I do this?

I’ve bought the CD and as I always do ripped it onto my NAS for Sonos playback so I have the Dark and Bright side stereo mixes but thought it would be good to try in Atmos on the Arc. I have an Xbox One and when I put the CD in it prompted me to download Windows media player. Although I’d previously changed the audio HDMI setting to Atmos when I started playing I noted it had gone back to Dolby 5.1 so I changed it back to Atmos and it seemed sticky after that. Although the Sonos app is saying Atmos I am not hearing any audio through the rear surrounds (Play 1s) which I would expect to be involved.Has anybody managed to listen to this in “proper” Atmos with the Arc and Xbox One?

I have just added a Sonos roam to my system, yet when I connect and select music to play , no sound comes from the device?

I have an outbuilding that is connected to the internet through a wireless access point. It is the same signal as the house but with a different name. I have a Five in there so need the outhouse WiFi to be a trusted network. My issue is that I have two Era 100s in my conservatory that isnt too far away from the outbuilding so you can pick up the WiFi signal sometimes. They are connected to the network in the house but occasionally pick up the signal in the outbuilding. How can I stop them from connecting to this network? The signal is visible but the strength isn’t great unless you’re in the outbuilding. It’s causing them to lose connection and then reconnecting to the house WiFi, but I can’t make the switch networks manually. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

It’s like a game of whack-a-mole dealing with Sonos issues. I purchased a new Arc since Tech support couldn’t help me get my Playbar to stop cutting out. The arc is working fine($800 later), but Alexa won’t properly control groups I create within the app. I have disabled the skill, removed all the groups, deleted all the devices, and registered everything. When I make a group called “upstairs speakers,” Alexa says okay but only plays the music on one group of upstairs speakers. Same happens for when I try to play music everywhere using a different group. If I use the Sonos voice integration, the commands work fine. Obviously it’s an Alexa integration issue, but there is no way I’m dealing with Amazon tech support, which may be the only thing worse than Sonos tech support. Is there any way to make this work properly? Why would it choose some speakers in a group vs others to use?

Hello all!If a I connect my stereo capable turntable through an era 100’s line-in that is in turn connected to my home system that has a stereo setup ( 2 sonos play 1s) in the living room, will the living produce stereo sound coming from my turntable through the era 100? Thanks! -Nash

I have onkyo rz-810 receiver with port hook up no sound from my surround sound to move 2 speakers!
