Why is it that Sonos restricts the use of music applications. I purchased my system almost 5 years ago only knowing that the sound quality was great. Now I absolutely HATE this system you can’t play your music or TV through the system unless you purchase another expensive add on. If anyone from Sonos is actually reading this thread why is the music play setup this way and can you please change it!! Venting session over…. Thanks

Is there an opportunity to lock everywhere “on” so that when I turn on my TV everything will automatically follow?

When are we going to finally be able to have a stereo pair plus dual subs ?  , I'm delaying Sonos purchases until then. Please get this done.

Ordered a mini subwoofer on Saturday 15th July and was expecting delivery on Tuesday 18th July. Got an email from DHL saying it was delivered, upon checking the photo proof of delivery it showed it was left by the door of some random house… I immediately contacted DHL to let them know that they didn’t deliver to the right address.. Ive contacted DHL multiple times since to understand the situation and to give me updates on my order… I’m hoping it hasn’t been sitting outside some random persons house in the rain honestly or was even opened by the person…Yesterday DHL couldn't contact the courier and today they said they couldn't contact the local depot… I’ve since racked up a hefty bill of 15 pounds trying to gather updates on the situation with DHL and being put on hold etc… Is this something I can even try to claim back from Sonos? (I’ve also mailed sonos about not receiving my package and I’ve not heard anything back apart from a generic we will investigate) Frustrated is an understa

Has anyone got a picture of an arc wall mounted using the sanus extending mount bracket?Sonos say it offers an “unimpeded” Dolby atmos experience… Probably a long shot but,can anyone confirm or deny if one bracket is better than the other sound wise?

Hi, this has been doing my head in. My Sonos app only shows Dolby digital 5.1 for ps5 game audio. I have set the tv to pass through, changed ps5 audio to av receiver and 7.1 ch and have changed the audio priority to dts or Dolby.  I have a Samsung q80t and it apparently can’t do lpcm over earc. I should still be able to do Dolby digital plus 7.1, no? Others have confirmed they get 7.1 audio with this set up so it is possible.

Hello!I don’t understand why Sonos Arc and the two Era 300 (which I decided, for now, intentionally not to pair as a surround) which are located under the same Apple Home app room called ‘Living room’, appear on the Sonos app as being placed in two different rooms called each ‘Era 300’ (the name I gave to each speaker via the Home app). I basically want all the products to appear under the same room (Living Room) on the Sonos app.Does anyone know how to fix this naming issue? Thank you! 

I have about 20 Sonos speakers in my house, so I’m very into the ecosystem… the roam makes me want to never buy another Sonos product.  My roam lasted about a year… just out of warranty… when the battery died. It’s now a paper weight. I refuse to drop another $180 for a product that will last about a year and then it goes in the trash.  This is a widespread, well known issue. It’s unfathomable that Sonos doesn’t offer either a battery replacement service or a discontinued whole unit replacement.  Either offer the service or ripping everyone off by selling the roam. 

Hi, I have just bought a pair of era 300’s and a beam gen2. I have connected my beam with my tv via hdmi earc and then added the pair of era300’s as surround speakers. My problem is that I can now barely hear anything coming from my era300’s when playing Dolby atmos content on Netflix. When playing music directly from Apple Music it does not come up with the Dolby atmos badge and the era300’s keeping fading and coming back for a few seconds. I am on the latest version 15.5 and have all my products connected via wifi. Can someone please point me in the right direction as to what might be causing the issue or is there something wrong that I would have some during the setup. Thanks in advance

HelloI want to output tv sound (via eArc port) to 2 x Sonos One’s as I cannot install a soundbar.  Will using a Sonos Amp allow me to do this?

I have asked to the support if Sonos roam can be continuosly used while connected to a power source.They say it is not recomended: charge it, disconnect it from power and then use.Does anyone understand why ?I think it is normal to use it connected whether it is not necessary to move it. 

Hi thereI've got quite a specific problem on my Sonos One (with Alexa built in). This is linked to my Spotify account so I can play music happily from the Spotify or Sonos apps.But when I try to play music on the Sonos One by asking Alexa to play a specific song, it always chooses instead to play the "radio" for that song, ie related songs to it, which may or may not include the actual track.I'm aware this is massively a first world problem, but hey that's what this forum is all about right? ;) Anyone have any advice? Thanks, Tim

Can I change radio stations on Sonos Move without using the app?

If I try to play a short .wav file, ie less than 45 KB, the speaker crashes and disconnects from the network.Anything above 50 KB or so seems to work.This is happening with all types of speakers including Play:5, Five, Play:1 and Amp.This is something new but I’m not sure exactly when the trouble started.  I am currently on 15.2.1Has anyone else noticed this?

I am considering purchasing a Sonos amp to use as the amplifier for my turntable. The main reason I have chosen the Sonos Amp is because I want to be able to use my existing passive speakers in my record room, and also be able to send the turntable output to all of my other Sonos products throughout the house. My existing passive speakers are 8om 150/600W. The Sonos Amp is rated at 125W. Will there be an issue using the 125 W amp with my 150/600W speakers? 

I have a new pair of Sonos five’s that I will be using in a large kitchen with vaulted ceiling. I was originally going to go with in wall speakers with a sonos amp, but I promised my wife I’d try not to cut the walls if possible. The only good place to put them is on top of the kitchen cabinets on either side of the stove. I’m assuming a vertical placement would be best for stereo imaging. My other decision is whether to use the flexson wall mounts to angle them down a bit or to simply mount them on top of the cabinets facing forward. Does it matter or can the built in room correction fix it? I have an old play:5 up there to see how it will work and it sounds OK, but a bit muddy.  

I’m using an ARC and 2 Era 300 in my 15’x16’ bedroom.  I like watching TV to fall asleep to, so usually the volume is pretty low, although there are times that I watch at normal volume.  I’ve kinda noticed at low volume, the sound from the ARC has lost it’s fullness since adding the 2 Era300s.  Do I need to add a sub to regain the some fullness from the ARC?  If so, will the Mini be sufficient? 

I just added an ADU to my house and want to have two separate sonos systems on one WIFI. One for the main house and one for the ADU. Ive tried to add another system but its not working. Can someone give me the step by step to add another system with different speakers? Would really appreciate it thanks

I have a sonos connect:Amp that recently just started lowering the volume by itself! it was working normally until today! I did submit a diagnostic report and the diagnostic number is 1869534414i have restarted the sonos and restarted my phone! i have 2 other connect amp and only one of them is having this problem!

Is the Mounting Hole / Screw - Strong enough to hold the unit upside-down?I’m looking to create a DIY bracket and this M5 14mm screw would be the unique mounting point, holding the unit upside-down giving uses access to the touch panel from below.Any longevity impacts of using them in this orientation.I read that the 300’s have accelerometers to detect the orientation, so that unit would seemingly not have any but I’ve not read anything on the 100’s.NB.I’m disregarding any acoustic or tuning limitations (ie: Software) as my basic testing seems to not overly affect performance.  

When starting a new session on our Sonos system, the first 30 seconds are a chaotic experience of frantically trying to turn down the volume across all speakers. If a song is selected and started on a normal level, the volume quickly climbs to extremely high levels across all speakers. Using the app to try to turn them down, I can watch the volume crank back up as if it’s possessed. This circus continues for about half a minute until it finally settles down and accepts the volume selected in the app.Is there anything I can do to stop my system from doing this?We are using two Play:3 and two Play:1 speakers.

I was wondering if anyone has been able to A/B test the following two setups, and can recommend one over the other - intended for music listening. Two Sonos Era 300’s (stereo pair) + mini subORTwo FIVES (stereo pair) I know the Fives have much stronger low end, but I’m wondering if the sound stage of the era 300’s plus a sub mini would create something even better?

Is there a way to get the Sonos app to do volume leveling with my music library. Right now I have to constantly adjust the volume on different songs.

Hello, it is my understanding that this Sonos arc can be hardwired along with a Sonos amp, and then ceiling speakers for the rear. As long as everything is hardwired, is there an issue? I know if the arc and amp or wireless they have to be within 20 feet of each other?
