Hello,I have a Sonos ARC + Sub mini and 2 Sonos One, everything works well.Now I want to add a Sonos One SL on the same “room” and it seems imposible…Also doesn’t work on TV. (only ARC + 2 one)So if I understand on TV, I can't add more speakers ?

I have repeatedly changed the sharing settings, firewall settings, etc and get it to work, but it fails the next time I try to use it and gives me the ACCESS IS DENIED error. Ive reset everything, twice. I have a Boost wired directly to the router. Any ideas/help is appreciated.

Hola, me gustaría preguntaros si se puede conectar un SUB de 3ª a dos sistemas diferentes en la misma habitación? En el mismo cuarto tengo una ARC con dos Ikea Nordisk con la TV, y aparte dos FIVE con los que escucho música. ¿Puedo unir el SUB a ambos sistemas y usarlo individualmente si escucho música con los FIVE, o con el sistema del ARC cuando veo la TV?

Hi, can I pair a sonos beam gen 1 with 2 era 100 speakers for a surround sound system? I know it can work with a gen 2 beam but didn't know if the gen 1 beam works as well with this setup.

Hi everyone,I have a problem with my Beam Gen2. I just got it 2 days ago and I’ve been trying to set it up with my LG TV but there is always some issue. It is connected through eArc HDMI port. This is present situation:PHONE: If I play music on Youtube music or Spotify (both premium versions for what it’s worth) through Sonos app it is ok.PHONE: If I use Youtube or Spotify app directly it won’t find speaker so it is not ok - sound is only on my phone.TV: If I play music through Spotify or Youtube TV app there is no sound at all. Actually there is sometimes intermittent sound for splits of second which comes and goes. So music video is there playing on my TV but sound is not there.Netflix is working fine except there is every now and then some short glitch in sound. I could live with this last thing cause I cannot be sure whether it is due to speaker or TV or Netflix or my internet connection, but the problem with TV is killing me.I’ve tried to reset (by holding that infinity button beh

Has anyone else experienced all of their speakers flashing orange and white?all was fine yesterday. (And for the past 2 years) but last night I noticed all of the speakers in my house flashing orange and whiteand in the app all of the speakers say “updating” it’s been this way for over an hour now 

Hi,I will be getting a second Five to create a stereo pair with my existing one and am looking for a couple of desk stands that would work with both speakers in the vertical position. Nearly all the ones I can see online are either floor stands or for use with the speaker in the horizontal position. Does anyone else also have their Fives set up vertically and use stands?Many thanks for your help,Joe

Hi all, Thanks in advance for any help you can offer. I’ve seen another post that never got resolved, so hoping to finally nail this one. The setup is simple. Sonos amp connected to two speakers (working perfectly), and a sub RCA line which is split into two RCA going into a FOSI subwoofer amp. I don’t know why, but the Sonos AMP is just not passing a signal to the FOSI. I can confirm that everyting from FOSI to the sub is working correctly, as if I play music via bluetooth to the FOSI (it is a BT receiver as well) the sub functions well. I have confirmed that when trying to use the Sonos AMP I have the FOSI set to the connected inputs and not BT, so it’s not that.  So…. any ideas? Oh, and I turned on the SUB option in the Sonos App, so it should be functioning properly.  Thanks so much for any thoughts. 

Hello, O have connected my pro-ject turntable though my Pro-ject phono box s2 (pre amp) with my Sonos Connect (audio line in). I hear a continue streaming steinh crackle. I have tried everything but no solution. Not with other cables. Not with other Sonos speaker in the network. Not with other device on line in. Streaming Spotify does work fine but the line in gives problems. I also have the same crackle when I just have cables in the Connect and not in the pre-amp

Hi is Sonos playbar compatible with the sub mini

I have a customer with approx 11 sonos amps, play bar, arc, subs etc. Frequently, he gets a message that the song cannot be played. All of the devices show online and he has to reboot the network for it to correct itself. He is in Canada using Cogeco fibe as his ISP. Has anyone seen this before? Any help would be appreciated.

Edit: please don’t mind the last part of the title.So I have the following room (two options below): Given that I want to use the room for cinema and mainly spatial music using the minimum space possible:Do I need the most potent sub, speakers and soundbar? Do you think the soundbar should face the end of the room, or is it the same for sound quality if it faces the other (open) end? Finally, where do you think the rear speakers and sub should be placed? 

I currently only have one Sonos beam & had a couple of questions regarding streaming music.Is there a rule of thumb on how much data streaming music will use per hour? When I add a satellite (or more), will they all share that one data stream, assuming they’re all synchronized to play the same thing? Are any of the streaming services better than others in terms of bit rate, or is that even an option?thanks!

I have a Ray and a Sonos One and wondered if the One can be used as surround (ish) sound with the Ray.  This would be for tv playback mainly.   I’m getting a new Era 100 for my home office and want to make use of the One.

HiI recently upgraded to Sonos Arc, Sub and Era 300’s from Playbar, sub and Sonos One.  The Playbar and Sonos One set up worked on all TV channels.Now when watching Foxtel I only get sound on some channels.  HD Free to air channels work but SD don’t.  Some Foxtel channels work but not all of them.I’ve tried playing around with sound settings on both the TV and Foxtel box to no avail.Arc connected to HDMI ARC and Foxtel connected through HDMI.  TV Sony 65X8500D. 

I have installed Sonos 15.10 but my Sonos Mac software says I have another update available. On trying to install, everything just stops and I need after 20 minutes or so, to force-quit.I using Sonoma 14.1.1I had this issue on the last update and someone from Sonos provided a direct download link which worked. Grateful for any help please ? Thx Mike 

So I currently have a sonos beam (gen 1) and soon to add two symfonisk picture speakers as rears, plus a (gen 1) sub.In the same room, I have an existing, old 5.1 setup, which is 3 KEF motorised ceiling speakers, two rear ceiling speakers of unknown make, a KEF PSW3500 subwoofer and a DENON AVR-2807 amp.What I am trying to work out is whether I could replace the amp with some kind of sonos amp and link it all together for some sort of mega super duper dolby atmos 7.1 or better system?I doubt both subwoofers could be used. I also know that I would need at least a gen 2 beam for atmos.(btw, i know it’s a bit mad to have two 5.1 systems in one room. The reason I bought the beam, and began the whole sonos journey to begin with, is because the ceiling mounted cinema system speakers are right beneath the kids bedrooms and can’t be used while they’re in bed, which is every night after 7pm. But we still use them when they’re not.)  

Hi thereHow do i get stereo in back speakers in music videos?Streaming from Youtube Music gives a stereo signal for sound along the video but sonos automatically tries to make it a sourround sound which almost mutes the back speakers and spoil the entertainment.What do i have to change to get the music in the back speaker too?

Hey,I can’t see another forum chat on this issue, but, I have Soundcloud Go+, I can search Soundcloud for music, but I can’t see any likes (Unless I’ve liked them in Sonos App), playlists are missing, Feed is missing, New & Hot there is nothing and the DJ’s I’m following are not showing either.I’ve integrated and can use it, but as I said, I’m not seeing anything else.

Alexa does not appear to be working through my system. (Beam). How to reset?

Hi there,Can someone from Sonos please update the answer provided in the following post? It’s outdated and a subpar solution, you will save many mac users from a very bad experience. The correct fix is listed on the second page, but it won’t make it to the correct answer due to the nature of the upvote system this forum applies... 

GA shuffles Spotify playlists just fine when playing on its own speaker. Send it to Sonos and it plays in sequential order with shuffle mode off every time. So Sonos, what are we supposed to do to make this extremely common use case work?

Hello All!  I am looking for the best possible audio settings based on my Samsung QN90B, Apple TV 4k 3rd Gen and my Sonos Beam Gen 1. I am using the HDMI to connect the Beam to my TV.  What setting should I select under my Apple TV Audio Format? Change Format > Off OR On with Dolby Digital 5.1 as the new format?    Samsung TV settings - if I select change format on within the Apple TV settings, I get three options under the Samsung TV digital output audio format: PCM, Auto or Pass-Through. if I leave change format off within the Apple TV settings, I only get Auto or PCM.   Overall, what do you think would be the best settings recommendation for my set up? Note that when I select Dolby digital 5.1 with an Apple TV I feel like I’m getting some lip sync issue. Is that normal?  Thank you in advance for the help! 

Hi  I have had sonus beam sound bar for a year or so decided to get Era 100 speaker today to create a bit of surround sound trying to connect the Era 100 through the app with little success the beam is working fine but the Era 100 will not connect I’ve tried resetting router and all the other quick fixes but still nothing works has anyone else had these issues  thanks 

I know this sounds trivial but I’m having trouble connecting a Play 5 with my S1 app.  It was disconnected during troubleshooting trying to get my existing S1 system speakers to work with the new S2 because I just got a Beam Gen 2.  It is the only holdout - it can’t work with the S2 but it is now disconnected and so I need to get my S1 app to recognize it.  Currently, it has an ethernet cable connected to it and is powered on.  In the S1 app (after I reset it) I get the option to set up a new Sonos system, or connect to an existing system.  I choose connect to existing system, and then get “Use Sonos S2 app” or more options menu which essentially lead me full circle back to resetting the app.  My conclusion is that SONOS wants me to have a “new” app (new credentials to log in) to the S1 app.  Nothing seems to be working.  Would it be appropriate to simply unplug the existing S2 devices in the house and then try to connect my Play 5 to an existing system?  Fooling the S1 into thinking t
