I would like to add speakers to a gazebo.  If i put the amp in the house and run speaker wire to the gazebo (we have an unused conduit already in place), it will be at least 150 feet of speaker wire, probably closer to 200.  Obviously, I’m concerned about power loss over that length of run.  So, I’m wondering about two other options:Put a connect in the house and run RCA, digital coax, or toslink digital to an outdoor rated amp mounted in the gazebo.  If this is the better route to go, which of those 3 connection types would be the best option?  And does anyone have recommendations for a good outdoor amplifier? Go ahead and mount a Connect Amp in the gazebo.  It would be under a roof and wouldn’t be at risk of direct water contact, but it could get warm and over the winter it will be exposed to cool, but high relative humidity.  Although, I could easily disconnect it and bring it indoors in the fall.  Still, question is whether I would be sentencing a Connect Amp to a very premature de

Just moved into new property and it has Sonos s1 s2 system. I have managed to download apps set up , but can’t connect as previous owners have a  old sign in and password word pc still on it and I can’t access it . How do I set this up for my own use

When I try to play from Apple Music and use AirPlay to my Sonos/IKEA Symfonisk speaker, the sound stops after one second.This happens on both my MacBook Pro and iPhone X. When using the Sonos app on my iPhone, it works fine. However, it means that I can’t play from my MacBook and have to manage music in 2 different apps.I tried updating all apps and rebooting all systems multiple times. The wifi connection is strong. Sometimes (1 out of 20?) times I'm able to stream from Apple Music directly, but that’ll only work for a little while.Does anyone experience the same? How can I fix this? Is there an app for Mac that would allow me to play Apple Music to my speaker?

I’m looking to install 4 sonos ceiling speakers into a living/dining room, powered by one amp. The ceiling is sloped (single slope, shed roof style). The room is 25’ L x 17’ W. The slope runs along the long wall.My question is around placement and options for balancing the sound. Two options:Have all 4 speakers at the same height about 1/3 of the way up the slope. With the slope pitch, this would have the speakers face into the middle of the room. The speakers would not be so much left/right of the listener, more coming from one direction but at least all at the same height. Have 2 speakers at 1/3 way up the slope and another two directly in line with those at 2/3 up the slope. A more standard quadrant setup. However, they would not be at the same height. The issue here is how I’d control the balance of the higher vs closer speaker on the pitched ceiling. Would Trueplay be able to balance the height differences? I realize that without adding a second amp there is no way to control the

Recently upgraded to Sonos2.  Purchased Arc, 3 ones and play 5 to upgrade system. I have a One that is hard wired Ethernet to use network (supposedly to improve connectivity).  Now (daily) several rooms are missing from my system, some speakers are unresponsive.  I have installed, rebooted, factory reset and re-setup entire system almost daily.  Rebooting my router etc works, but am I really going to have to do this every day?  Worried I made a mistake purchasing the several-thousand dollar unreliable system.  My old system on Sonos1 was flawless and reliable for years.  PLEASE HELP! Before I throw the entire system away for Bose.

Did I can use Sonos Sub  gen 3 on his own or I need another speaker ?  

Can anyone tell me if there is a compatible third-party power cord that is longer than the one that comes with the Era 300 out of the box? Need to hide the cables and cannot use a standard extension cord with the cable management system that I’m using. Much appreciated….

Hi, first time here.I have a problem when trying to play a radio station with Google Assistant on a Sonos One.Trying to play “SR P3” a swedish radio station through the voice command “Hey Google, play P3” and it worked without a problem until 1 month ago but now it only starts a spanish radion show without the text “P3” in the title. It works without problem on my phone and open the right radio station in TuneIn.I have tried to unlink and link TuneIn and also tried using it with out TuneIn-account synced to my Sonos. Searched the forum but couldn’t find any problem like this, or maybe my search was bad.Does anyone have som idea what the problem can be?

Hi, my 2 sonos ones are not visible in the sonos 2 app. They have always worked and been paired for stereo. The app says no sonos on network. If I log into my tp link router I can see speakers are connected. Also I can still use Google assistant and play songs on Spotify. I can see the speaker on the spotify app. So annoying. 

Good afternoon.After upgrading Sonos One SL, a problem arose, and now audio only appears two seconds after the audio stream has started. Now it's absolutely impossible to watch movies using Sonos One SL. The sound lags behind the image by 2 seconds. If I pause the video, the sound continues for approximately 2 seconds.I searched the forum and found recommendations to switch to uncompressed. This did not solve the problem in any way. In addition, I saw a recommendation to use the Line-in menu. But there is no such option on Sonos One SL. The audio system is connected using an Ethernet cable.During movie playback, I ran a ping test and see that the network connection is stable and fast.--- 10.111.222.190 ping statistics ---318 packets transmitted, 318 received, 0% packet loss, time 321242msrtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.183/0.226/0.331/0.023 msHow do I disable(dramatically decrease) buffering on Sonos One SL?

Hello there, I have been using the beam gen 2, later on added the symfonisk picture frame around 2 meters behind me for a better surround sound and yesterday I got the sub mini but I'm confused as to what the recommended settings for all of them together would be in my case. I mainly use them for metal/rock music (and movies of course) as I have it connected on my desktop pc so I'm standing right in front of the beam. "Sadly", I use android and so does every person in my circle so I can't calibrate the speakers with trueplay. The room where the speakers are, is medium sized. Also, does the positioning of the sub mini matter? I have it pretty close to the beam and have them both paired together instead of the symfonisk. 

I’ve been banging my head against a brick wall trying to setup a new Sonos system in my RV using two Sonos Roams.  I already have a home system (two Sonos Beams & four Sonos Ones) and have connected to a separate system at work (two Sonos Fives) so thought it would be no bother.  How wrong I was!The problem seems to be that when creating a new system when you get to the part where the speaker gets connected to the Wi-Fi network the app tells it to connect to the Wi-Fi network of the existing system, not the one you’re connected to and are trying to set it up on.  This happened to me on both Android and iOS and using the same account as my home system and with a new account I setup fresh.I finally found a way round it by using a spare device that had a fresh install of Sonos that hadn’t connected to any other Sonos system before.  But that took a while as the first two device I tried were too old and the OS wasn’t supported (iOS 12 and Android 7).  So after two days of trying I fina

I have a problem where there isn’t any sound at all from youtube app.  I have a samsung tv and an arc soundbar.  It looks like the app may have bee updated on 8/30/2023 which is about when the sound stopped.  I can get sound by unplugging the tv and going directly to youtube app.  If I leave the app and come back, no sound.

I’ve had this happen twice now while camping.    I successfully pair the Move to my phone via bluetooth and listen to music.  But then someone accidentally hits the bluetooth/wifi button, and the Move starts looking for wifi.  Since there is no wifi in the wilderness, it just goes into a loop.  There is no way to cancel and re-pair to bluetooth.   And then my Move is bricked for the rest of the camping trip.  This is not a one-off.  Is this a product flaw, or is this product just not made for camping?  If I got the sonos Roam, would that help, or would it have the same issue?

Hi, I use a sonos five at work. we have just moved office. the previous wifi net work was a normal password only network.my new network at my new office has username and password enabled. I reset the sonos when we moved and it only asks for password during set up.what can i do to get this set up?

I need instructions on how to delete/remove two Era300s that are currently set up as separate rooms and add them as surrounds for my existing Arc. If there is online documentation, I may have just missed it somehow.  Thank you   

Hello,  I have been using my Beam on my Samsung TV for over a year and it has been great.  Now there is no sound coming from my Beam.  who I disconnect the HDMI Arc, the TV speakers start working.  when I connect the HDMI, it says that the Beam has been successfully connected.   None of my other HDMI ports have anything connected to them...only the Beam.   Any help would be great.   

I updated the desktop app to 15.2 and it now only sees one of my speakers. My iphone app still sees all three and works fine. Any ideas how to get the other two rooms working? I see them fine on the phone, and they play via that controller, so they’re obviously online. 

I have what I believe is a connection problem. When originally set up I was able to play audio from my TV through Sonos. It now won’t. The connection was RCA from audio out on the TV to a converter that transferred RCA to Cat 5 that ran @ 20’ down to basement located SONOS Connect:AMP. Before the Connect:AMP, the Cat 5 was converted back to RCA to make the Connect:AMP connection. All was well until I replaced the TV with a Samsung QN85 that didn’t provide for an RCA connection for Audio out. I ran an optical cable from the TV to an optical/ RCA converter to then connect with the existing Cat 5. Ran fine for 6 months then stopped. It’s either a connection issue or I’ve changed some setting on the TV by mistake. Any thoughts? Thanks Moderator edit: changed Amp to Connect:AMP  for clarity/accuracy x2.

Why has the books search been removed from the sonos search function? I used to be able to search my audible audio books using this function but it was removed some time ago due to a sonos upgrade and I am unable to return to the previous (‘classic’) search function. I was advised months ago by a Sonos tech person that this issue was being escalated but still nothing has happened!
