Hi, I have 2.1 system connected to a Denon PMA 30 amplifier that I want to connect to all the Sonos speakers we have, so I’m looking at the Sonos port.However one difficulty is we also have a projector that connects to the amp by Bluetooth when we use it (so not permanently)Is it likely that we’re going to suffer from lots of input shenanigans going this route, or can the Sonos Port switch inputs itself on an amp?

I have just added a pair of Era 300s to my Arc + Sub to replace the Ones I was using.  I have just tried a 7.1.4 test tone via an App on my Apple TV and when testing the up firing speakers both the front (Arc) and rear (Era 300) play at the same time when playing either the front or rear Atmos/ceiling speaker test tone (right or left). These should work independently right? Or do they operate in a .2 configuration rather than a .4 setup?

I am based in the UK and have just had FTTP installed. Part of setting up the Erro router, supplied by my ISP, was to reconnect my Sonos equipment. The Play 5, Play 3, Roam and Arc soundbar  are all connected, over wifi and are working. I have a Sonos sub and 2 Play 1’s that according to then Sonos app are connected over wifi, and in fact are working, as they produce sound.However in the networking listings from the Erro it shows that the Play 5, Play 3, Roam and Arc soundbar have a full wifi signal, (excellent). However the listing for the Sonos sub and Play 1’s are “greyed out”. I am correct in thinking that as the Arc has a full wifi connection and it is “bonded” to the sub and Play 1’s, it causes this issue? Not a major issue for me, just trying to understand the logic behind it all. The sound for the Lounge surround sound system is awesome.        

Hi All -Unlikely I know but can one get the S2 app to run on a WindowsXP machine?  If so, how?Thanks,Ian.

Hello. One of my Sonos play1 speakers is constantly dropping off. The other speakers continue playing but the play1 will drop out then come back for 10 seconds 30 seconds it’s always different and then drop off again. I had this issue a few times over the years and I’ve been able to fix it by resetting the system or just waiting and eventually it would work itself out. Does anyone know any other ways to quickly fix this issue? Wi-Fi router internet provider are all the same. Nothing changed on my end that I know of to cause this problem. Thank you! diagnostic number 1691235126

I just cannot add any music services, the buttons are greyed out. Error message appears “this feature is not available”.  

Hi,I run the Sonos S2 app on my Macbook (current OS Ventura 13.4, but problem has persisted since Monterey) and it’s connected to a Belkin Thunderbolt dock, which provides network connectivity via ethernet.When I stop work in the evening, I power down and disconnect the dock.The next morning, when I power up the dock and wake up the macbook, the Sonos App goes unresponsive and I have to force quit.Anyone seen this?

Hello, Sometimes when I listen to my stereo pair through connect and two ones, sound only plays through one speaker. When i switch to spotify music comes through both speakers!Example - just had a record on, first side of record was fine, flipped it over and sound only played through one side. Switched to spotify and music was in both speakers.

all of a sudden my sonos amp is automatically turning itself down  . i turn it up , and it will just go right back to 15. I submitted a diagnosis # 1231294586.

Have an old Philips tv without optical or ARC port is there a way to connect to Beam 2?

My Sonos one was working fine but after I turned it off it will now not turn on and I can’t find it on my system. When I plug it in the red light shows for 5 seconds but then goes off. What do I do? 

Attempting to downgrade my Play 3 to be s1 compatible.  Sonos is “finding” a product that I don't even have…...I only have a Play 3 speaker.

I accidently added 30 tracks to my favourites on Deezer. I can see no way of removing all of them at once, only right clicking, select info, select delete from favourite tracks then confirm deletio9n. That’s four clicks per track so 40 clicks to remove 10 tracks - crazy!If anyone can show me a quicker way I would appreciate it.

Looks the names of my zones have been changed somehow in my sonos profile and it is causing some rooms to play music and one of my rooms I can’t get music to play. I looked at my setup and it looks like the names are different from what was originally set up I need to redo my configuration and start from scratch.  What is the best way to do that?

I’m experiencing audio dropouts, only when grouping rooms together. My setup consists of 8 different “rooms” - most of which are standalone Play Ones, then a room with Playbar, Sub, and two rear Play Ones.  Then another room with Beam Gen 2, Sub, and two rear Play Ones. All of these are connected to SonosNet via Boost. I also have a Sonos Move speaker that is connected via Wi-Fi (since that one won’t connect to SonosNet).   The dropouts started after I introduced two new Play Ones. All speakers work fine individually, but only have dropouts once I start grouping. I had this issue last year, but it stopped once I introduced the Boost to get all speakers on SonosNet (versus being connected to my Eero mesh network directly).  I tried changing the SonosNet channel, but still having dropouts. There is no rhyme or reason to which speakers the dropouts occur. It has been happening on any of them once they are grouped.  I submitted a diagnostic. Can anybody from Sonos review and help me resolv

I can turn it on and off using voice control.  It will not adjust the volume up or down. I have changed the voice assistant and tried Sonos, alexa and Google.  Volume won't work with any of them.

I have the Samsung TV QE55Q60, on the web site of Samsung the TV can’t play Dolby Atmos but I have HDMI ARC port behind the TV so I wan’t know if I connect the Sonos Arc on the HDMI ARC port with an Apple TV last generation (the one with 128 Gb) on an other port connected with a movie who have Dolby Atmos sound, will my Sonos Arc play Atmos or not ? thanks for your help 

Sorry to be an aged non-techie!  Have a sudden problem with my S1 five zone system - ok with Spotify but when I try to play from my Music Library I get “Unable to play xxxx, Unable to connect to XXXX”; (this being my PC).  When I go into the Library Settings I can’t add or remove any Folders, it just goes back a screen.  The system advises me to check sleep settings (are ok) and and firewall settings (Sonos.exe is allowed in Bitdefender).  My PC can see all my Sonos locations and the external drive that contains my FLAC files.  I don’t want to try anything drastic like uninstall without advice from someone better qualified than me.  Any help please?

Other than pulling the plug, is there a way to power down the Sonos Ray. 

I was getting intermittent static from my Apple TV - Samsung Frame TV - Sonos Arc-Sub-SL Speakers setup, but not when the source was my cable-box. I tried all the various suggestions from this forum to no avail. Then I tried the various streaming apps built into the Frame TV (Netflix, Prime Video, Crave, Disney Plus, Apple TV Plus, Plex) and no static/popping sounds. So clearly the Apple TV HD box was the weak link in my setup. So don’t assume that the ARC is the problem. It could very well be some other hardware in your setup. 

The Sonos Roam is constantly dropping from my home PC and iPhone. Yes, it’s set up properly via wifi with the Sonos app. Yes, I follow the instructions on the Sonos site (incl. factory reset). Yes, it’s fully charged. Etc, etc. I even get it to work sometimes (for several consecutive days)...until it doesn’t (dropping randomly with me doing absolutely nothing).I have looked in several Sonos community threads to investigate and a lot of feedback is not helpful (things I already did repeatedly) and usually condescending (the equivalent of “try ctrl-alt-del you dolt”).My gripes -Why does my Roam keep dropping randomly when using Bluetooth (on my phone or PC) - Actually, don’t answer this - I give up. Why does the Roam not have a Bluetooth button if it is intended to be primarily a Bluetooth device (using the on/off button to pair the device is an idiotic design flaw in my view)? Why do I need to link it with my wifi to get it started in any case (few if any other Bluetooth-enabled speaker

Hello,i have 2 sonos era 100 and a playbar. i can pair the two era for stereo music but cannot use them as surround. The system does not recognize them  Does someone know why?many thanks for your help. 

I have 2 large rooms connected with no walls between them. My living room is connected to my Dining Room, in the living room I have 2 Play:1 (front), 2 Ones (Rear) and a Sub which sounds amazing but when I walk into the dining room I can hear the music but not like when I’m in the living room. My question is, to expand sound to the dining room, should I install 2 Sonos Ones and a 2nd Sub or 2 Play:5s and pair them in stereo, which setup will give me the richest sound and not create syncing issues. Thanks.
