So far have only used Sonos for music. I am now planning to change to Sonos for TV and wondered about either a Beam Gen 2 with the Submini, or the Arc on its own. My main question is which alternative gives best all round sound, including regular listening to music only. Not planning to use Dolby Atmos. Price seems roughly equivalent. Might add rear speakers in future but probably not. Currently have conventional 5.1 home cinema and experience is we don’t use surround element much. As always thanks for any advice.  

Trying to run the controller on MacBook always asks to check for updates finds new update installs then ALWAYS errors Sonos update failednow unable to use controller or Sonos on the laptop due to not allowing the older version of the controller to runany solutions 

I’m unable to find upgrade section in my profile. Is it because my country setting is india? 

I have recently changed my ISP. I am going away on holiday next week and have dusted off my Roam which was so frustrating on my trip to NZ at Christmas where it would not connect to the wifi, it also at one stage emitted a loud noise like an alarm. The power button does not work as directed and is inconsistent. When I returned from NZ I tried to send it back but one of their operator convinced me to stick with it. I have note really used it until now and it does not register on my phone. It will also not factory reset by following the instructions. When I hold the pause/play button and switch the Roam and continue to hold the pause/play, it goes from white to blue and not flashing white/orange. Therefore no factory reset. My Sonos app cannot find my Roam even though it is connected to my iPhones bluetooth. This is so frustrating and at this stage I will never buy another Sonos product ever again.

I have been experiencing an intermittent issue, whereby internet radio is interrupted for up to about 5-10 seconds, every couple of minutes.This issue never happens when I am streaming music from my NAS drive, only with internet radio.I have monitored internet traffic and can see no spikes or other errors when the problem occurs.  The broadband is running at well within the capacity of the router.Yesterday when it kept happening, I changed the WiFi channel of the Sonos and today, so far, the problem hasn’t happened.  I don’t understand why this would be the solution, otherwise why would streaming from a NAS not also suffer?I have a Play:1, Play:3 and Connect in my system.  The Play:3 is wired to the router and is the primary speaker in the group.  All speakers are in a single group as I always have the same music playing in all rooms.Before I changed the channel I rebooted the router and the speakers, but the problem persisted.Any advice or opinions welcomed.  Apologies if this has bee

I have the original soundbar and it has the sub plugged into it. Was working fine LONG after upgrading a ton of stuff to S2. Suddenly no sound on the TV, no sub at all, and the horrible software is telling me the device is incompatible and gives me an upgrade link that goes to the website to buy a replacement. Yet the website says the device is compatible with S2.

 Hi community,I recently purchased the Five, which works and sounds great however I purchased the Five in order to connect my old 1980s record player together with my vintage amplifier but I can’t get any sound 😥 I think it’s best to show you a pic of the options I have in order to connect the line in (I bought 3.5mm jack to 2 RCA cable). Looking at the picture provided, where do I plug it into? I’ve tried everything except for the speaker component as the RCA doesn’t fit it. Please help as it’s been a days of days of trying with no sound. I’ve also tried all the Source levels in the Sonos app to see if that’s causing the issue, but that doesn’t seem to fix it.  Back of the record player and amplifierFront of record player and amplifierBack of the Sonos five with RCA cable connected 

I have a mix of old and new Sonos components in my house running S1: 2xPlay:5 (gen2), a Play:5 (gen 1), Connect:Amp and a few more. It happened twice that our kids or their friends see the Sonos prompt to upgrade to S2, and initiate the process without asking. They maybe think they're doing us a favor.The first time we managed to downgrade all devices to S1. The second time not. One of the Play:5 gen 2 speakers refuses to downgrade.I’m using the S2 app and follow all the instructions (reset/reinstall S2 app, reset speaker, etc.). The app finds the speaker and eventually starts the downgrade process. It shows a downgrading progress bar for about 3 minutes and then finally a message that it was unable to downgrade the speaker.No details about the error.I’ve tried this multiple times, with ethernet and wifi connection, I added the speaker to S2 and then completely removed and reset it. I read other threads on the same topic, but no solution found. I probably spent three whole days in my l

All of a sudden, I'm having issues with one of our arcs. When trying to use sonos voice control for any command it will reply,  "I can't locate that. Please check your product name." I can say anything and that's the reply. Tried unplugging the power. Tried removing voice control and reinstalling. Tried unplugging, holding down Infiniti button to reset, reinstalling voice control... all fails with same message. The arc shows up in my controller and it works via my phone but the Sonos voice command simply stopped working when it had been working just fine for a year. I'm stumped. Any ideas?

So, I am fairly new to Sonos and I bought an Era 300. Love the sound but hate the app. Following advice from thts forum I was told that the only way to get my albums into the Sonos app from Amazon Unlimited Music was to add them to my library in Amazon MU. I think it was either add to favourities or my library or my music but it was click on the big plus sign. Did that no problem and sure enough they appeared in my Sonos appNow this is a pretty rubbish way to do it Anyway all was find until yesterday wh en about 40 albums disappeared leaving me with just 5I mean WTH? Anyone have any idea why this has  happened and how to recitify it?i had planned to order my second Era 300 but I just dont feel confident with the app and I want to play spatial music. Ta in advance

My wife uses the My Music page to save albums from our connected Amazon Music service.  Today she noticed there are now only 6 albums listed instead of dozens.  I also notice that what remains are just albums starting with the letter A.  How did they disappear?  Are they recoverable?

Only the first 5 artists show in 'my music'.  Same with albums, only the first 5 show up.  If I click on tracks, they're all there.  Search function works to find artists and albums.  I've deleted and readded Amazon and the sonos app. Still only shows first 5.  I'm on S1 and this is across all devices used.

The Sonos app on my Android phone and on my iPad are both showing only the first five albums in my Amazon Music library “My Albums” view (Browse => Amazon Music => My Music => Albums), out of more than 300 that should be visible.  I tried (1) forcing the app to stop and re-starting it, then (2) re-authorising Amazon in the Sonos app on my phone, but the problem persists.  My 300+ albums are still there in my Amazon Music account, because I can see them in the Amazon Music app.  Why does the Sonos app only show the first five?  Is anyone else seeing this?  Is there a fix?

Can the Audio-Technica AT-LP3XBT turntable connect to the Sonos Move via Bluetooth?

I lost my internet service and am waiting for the ISP to come out.  In the meantime, my neighbor is generously offered to let me connect to his router.  I have connected my mobile and a couple of TV’s in my house, but I am having difficulty connecting any of my Sonos products.  When I launch the Sonos app, at the top it says “WiFi isn’t connected Learn More”.  After tapping on that, it gives me another page with “WiFi isn’t connected AND You need to connect this mobile device to the same network as Sonos”.  At the bottom it has an icon indicating “Go to WiFi settings”.  After tapping on a WiFi screen pops up showing some of the available networks.  The top one is the one my mobile is connected to and it shows “Connected”.  I cannot figure out what I’m doing wrong.

Hola tengo una consulta, el Sonos Amp tiene formato Flac y Alac es compatible? 

Can the Port driving a slave amp be configured to work with an ARC to drive rear speakers in surround? Dan

Hello all, I just bought a Sony turntable with phono preamp to play vinyl on. I currently have the Amp, Sub, Arc, and two Sonos architectural built in speakers. The whole Sonos system is set up in my family room like surround sound. When I connect the turntable to the Amp, the app does not give me the option for Browse> Line-In. Does that mean that I would have to disconnect my surround sound system from the Amp in order for it to play the turntable? I would love to leave everything connected and just be able to play my turntable over the whole system. Is that possible?

I bought an in ground passive subwoofer and would like to connect it to my Amp. I ran 12 AWG wire from the sub to the Amp and then realized it was an RCA connector. Do I need to install anything between the RCA connector and the speaker wire? Or, do I just need to buy an RCA connector?
