Do grills come in wood-like colors for these speakers or only in white?

Hi. I’m moving. At my current tv location I have a beam bonded with two ones and a sub. At my new location it had wired passive speakers as ceiling rears and wiring for front speakers. I’ve bought a Sonos amp and trying to determine the best combo. Can I blend my current Sonos setup with the passive speakers using the amp? If so, any recommended setups? 

My system has 2 play3, 2 Play1 and a PlaybarI have set the 2 Play 3 as stereo speakers and the Play 1’s as surround.When watching a movie I am getting no sound from the Play 3’s but the Playbar and Play 1’s are fine.Playing music the stereo plays fine through the Play 3’sI guess this is correct, but how can I add the Play 3’s to the home cinema system so that the sound that play 3’s give out sound from the film?

I’m running Sonos S1 speakers from my MacBook Pro with Qfinder Pro Nas which needs SMB1. QNAP upgraded so that SMB1 is not default. Anyone know how I can change to SMB1?  Any advice gladly received.RegardsIan j

Is there a way for my Sonos iOS app to send notification alerts when the Roam or Move battery is at 50%, 25%, 10% or even just ‘low battery’?

Hi Folks👋 Orginal Sonos stands for Era 100/300: Are they simmilar,only different is shape of attachment of base to speaker.So in reality i can purcase what so ever stand(100 or 300) and i could just change the top depending on if i got the 100’s or the 300’s….you follow me?For example in my case,i got the 100’s on stands. I will purcase the 300’s but if i purcase the stamds i can just remove the top part from the 300-stand over to my allready mounted 100’s?Then my next question will be: If they match as in Q1⬆️,why does not Sonos offering this item? Need to buy the complete kit with the stands.Or does the “Sonos wall-mount” fit on a stand as well(problem solved?). 

Hi. I am running my music library on a USB drive connected to my router fixed to SMB1. This is to overcome the acknowledged issue with SMB2 and SMB3 that has impacted some users with USB or NAS drives. In my case, the library failed to index when I was using the default SMB2 protocol.I’d rather not use SMB1 any longer than I have to.We’ve just had another software update to 15.7.1 with ‘bug fixes’ in the release notes, so I have no way of knowing if the issue has been resolved yet.Is there any update on this issue? It’s been a long time since SMB support was uplifted and this issue arrived.Thanks.

Had a brief power outage and now 1 of my play ones which were set in stereo mode will not connect, unpaired them tried factory reset, play 1 is now just sat with constant white/orange flashing light ?? I have unplugged everything and reset router, can not get past orange/white light ? 

Sonos is asking me to reauthorise Spotify over and over again even after reauthorising. Any ideas??

Sonos move is not bluetooth pairing . Blue light is flashing but sonos device is not detecteble in any of my device. Kindly assist

I'm using ATV with YTTV and the Sonos app says sound is in DD 5.1 when watching NFL in multiview. In reading other forums, YTTV is only stereo in multiview, and it's clear this is the case when putting my ear to the surrounds. When switching to an individual game rather than Multiview, 5.1 kicks in.So why does the Sonos app say it's 5.1 when the multiview broadcast is stereo? This makes me doubt Sonos' software recognition.

 I know I’m not the first to have this problem but would be grateful for any suggestions in this forum on how it might possibly be fixed. Lost all my playlists due to being advised that I needed to factory reset components as the only way to switch them to a new wifi network (not moving house, just upgrading TV services which for some reason needs a new network). Two Playbars not reset as I can’t unplug them (wiring considerations) so my question is, if I was able to disconnect the new router and reinstal the old network, might I be able to retrieve the playlists via the devices which weren’t reset? Very annoyed to lose 5+ years of carefully curated playlists….

We use our Sonos Playbar on a shelf in an entertainment stand with a LG OLED TV on top using its support stand. We have always used the Playbar in the “horizontal” position and use the universal remote to control volume.  Recently suddenly the remote stopped working. But when I move the Playbar into the “vertical” position within the furniture unit (i.e. with the word Sonos showing as if it were to be wall mounted) it works just fine. This leads me to believe that one of the IR receivers is working fine and the other does not for some reason. Any easy way to trouble shoot or fix this?

I have the Sonos Beam Gen 1 and an Apple TV 4K. I connected my Apple TV remote to the soundbar and it was working fine and then it just stopped working. I was able to reconnect the Apple TV remote with the Sonos app but now when I want to lower the volume the volume gets louder. Both the volume up and down increase the volume and I don’t know how to fix it. If anyone has had this problem can you please let me know how to fix it! TIA :)

Hi,I’ve a sonos port connected to my amp, this last while I’ve noticed the level on my left speaker keeps dropping of when i switch it on. if i change the line-out level from variable to fixed and then back it’s ok. Anybody know why and is there a way to avoid this happening.thanks for any help provided.

Planning a new home and figuring out how to spec out my dining room and kitchen area. It’s a relatively open area, and I’m thinking to have ear level sounds for a more immersive music experience for dinner/with guests, whereas a more background music/space filling function for the kitchen area. Based on this I’m thinking of two play 5’s in the corners in green, and two sonance in ceiling speakers in blue. Would this be recommended or does anyone have any better suggestions? Would appreciate any advice, first time sonos builder!  

Is it possible to connect 1 Move2 with 1 Era100 (the new Internal-External Kit), to do a stereo pair?

Hi,Just bought a sonos arc and paired with an old LG UH770V.  Connected via the HDMI arc port and getting sound from the arc.  However nothing I do gets anything better than Dolby 5.1.  No films on netflix play in anything other than 5.1 (I have the premium subscription.)  The Tv has no dolby atmos settings but does have a Dolby digital plus setting (or auto).  On my laptop, Netflix offers spatial audio so must be something in my TV/soundbar set up preventing this.   Any ideas?  Thanks

Is there a way to remote disconnect a specific speaker or music service in order to turn off an alarm while I’m traveling (ie not home on the network)? I’m trying to figure out how to spare my poor neighbors in Brooklyn from the alarm currently going off in the apartment. I’ve truly had it with this system…

Hello all, My current music systems consist of: Deezer Family Subscription2x pre-digital hi-fi separates systems, both with tape loops, one with a turntable, the other with a minidisc playerSonos Roam I’ve been trying to tease out how best to link these all together. 2x Ports would peg me with roughly £800 costs, so I’ve started looking at 2x Connect Gen 2 instead, for £300ish. I understand that they’ve been discontinued and I’m avoiding Gen 1s and have read about the S1/S2 split. The Roam, bought new, is the only experience I have of Sonos. If I buy used Connect Gen2s, will there be any non-obvious gotchyas around adding them to my sonos account or their usage, or do I simply reset them and they will behave as you’d expect with new gear?

I have installed 14 zones in a large custom home. Each zone consists of the following setup:Sonos Port → DEA 704D Amp → JBL Pro Control 322C (x4)I have had a slight buzz in all the speakers, some zones very subtle and some zones extreme. I have tried everything from grounding the rack, ground loop isolators, changing cables, checking software upgrades, changing breakers, outlets, etc … I even considered installing an entirely new breaker box to separate the audio equipment from the rest of the house.Then I discovered when I change the source of the audio from the Sonos Port to direct cables to my iphone NO BUZZING.  I installed a Sonos Connect Series II and NO BUZZING.  The internet search shows similar issues and dissatisfaction with the Port having noise. I would prefer to use the Port due to is having more features than the Connect, mainly the dual mono option. Does anyone know if there is a fix to the noise and/or a newer version of the Port coming out? Thank you. 

Hello everyone.  I purchased a sonos bean gen 2 only 3 months ago and suddenly the speaker stopped working with the TV and only works when I watch Netflix or Amazon Prime.  No sound comes out if I'm using any of the tvs apps I even tried connecting a laptop via HDMI but nothing.  I reset the speaker and reinstalled it but the problem remains.Any idea how to fix this before I send it back and ask for a warranty replacement? Thank you!

So it’s an odd scenario. I’ve got my Sonos One SL in the kitchen on volume 30. It sounds a little low to me, but as soon as I connected it to my Living Room (LR) Play 1 speaker (even if that LR speaker volume is at 0), the volume in the kitchen is significantly louder, even though it remains at 30 level on the controller? It’s almost as if the volume was incorrect to begin with until I then connected it to another.Any ideas why?

I realized my Sono One SL is not playing anything either on musics or movie.I reset the One SL and it works perfectly when it’s on the stereo speaker.but when I try to pair it with my beam for surround sound, it’s shows not connected after successful paired with beam.I tried two times resetting and it’s the same…Does anyone having the same issue?

The issue: I have been an extensive SONOS user for many many years (UK based) and used to get my BBC Radio service via the TuneIN service. It always worked fine. Recently the “old” TuneIN service became unsupported and the new service no longer has the BBC national radio stations (even with subscription). So I tried to use the SONOS radio app and whilst I can find BBC Radio 2, for example, it will not play. I now understand that due to licensing issues, the only way to get BBC national radio stations in the UK is via the BBC Sounds service. So I installed that and indeed can access the radio stations. BUT, the audio level on all of these stations is at such a low level compared to all other sources that it is almost inaudible. If I switch from my Apple Music service to the BBC radio station I have to increase the volume from 25% to 100% on the speakers and even then it can only just be heard, totally unacceptable and unusable in reality.When I use the BBC sounds app on iPadOS or on Sky
