Now that Era 300 means that Atmos music can be cast directly to ARC, Beam (Gen 2) and Era 300 without the need for a TV (Thank goodness)... Will it be possible to play local surround sound music to these devices too? I have a collection of multichannel flac files that I would love to put in the local library and cast to these devices without a tv. 

Looking for some indication that Sonos is working on M1/M2 support for their desktop app. And BTW I sincerely hope Sonos is planning on feature parity for the desktop app as well.  

What is wrong with the volume differences on my Beam2 between watching TV and then Music?  My TV volume must be at max, but then listening to music later will absolutely blast you out of the house.  I must say that Tech. support says my problem is “noted”, but I doubt there will be a fix.  :(

My home theatre consists of Arc, Sub Gen 3, Sub Gen 2 and 2 Play 1s for the rear. Do I go with the Era 100s or the Era 300s to replace the Play 1s in the rear. Sound, not cost, is the prime concern. 

Thanks in advance for any help here. I’ve never had a problem setting up any Sonos products before but for some reason, when I try and set up 4 in my house (there are no others) it will only connect to one of them, and on all the others I get the message saying “Sonos has been added but may not appear in the systems tab”. I’ve reset the router 3 times and all the Sonos products multiple times too but the problem persists. Any ideas please? Thanks again!

I have two new Sonos Ports that are connected to my receiver. It needs to connect to a wireless network since I don’t Ethernet availability. Can the Sonos Ports connect to a wireless network that supports both 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz or should it connect only to a 2.4Ghz wireless network? 

I bought a play 1, some years ago, which has been working OK over the period. I recently decided to replace  my old LG smart speaker with a new, sonos one. Which I now regret.Since my purchase, I spend most of my time with the app, trying to find the speakers, sometimes unsuccessfully. Constantly  going through the same rigmarole I sometimes actually  give up.My account on the app,  email and system, is often one day greyed out and I cannot access anything. But the next it's  highlighted and functioning. Voice control, both Alexa and Google, are sporadic in their response. So given up, even with simple requests.Yet strangley, Spotify find the speakers no problem. So I can at least use that. I'm at a loss, other than accept, I've  made a mistake.Anyone else? 

I’m trying to resolve an issue with my Echo and just disabled my Sonos skill. When I try to re-enable it I can’t because it says it’s not available due to geographical reasons. The Sonos site says that it is available in Canada so I’m not sure what to do. Please help.

Hello il there a step by step guide or any help to set 2 sonos one SL with the brand new panasonic tv LZ 2000 ?thanks ! 

I’m using Sonos with URC to digitally distribute music throughout house. However, when I try to add albums to My Sonos through my Spotify now, it’s says “unable to add to My Sonos. There are no empty slots remaining.” Any ideas? Bc I’m confused. It let me add about 25 Albums but now it’s full?

In pairing my iPad with the Arc, I am instructed to push the on/off button. Where is the on/off button?

Can the second gen Beam work with a Sony TV that has ARC but not eARC?  If so, are there any issues i should be aware of?

I have the Arc 2 play 1 and Sub when I watch any apps on my Samsung tv the sound cuts in and out.I have the Arc connect with a cable to my BT hub it’s all fine when I watch it on sky Q 

Was working fine till yesterday. Have followed all instructions and tips on this community plus others. Still cannot make it work. On Alexa app shows device as offline when it is not. Help?  :-(

Hi, can anyone help please? I have just purchased a Pro-ject turntable from Sonos and I have wired it in via line-in. Gone to my app and connected up, but at maximum volume all you can hear is a faint sound coming through the speaker! Am I missing something?please help :(

When Sonos Era 300 will be available in India?

Hi. Happy Sonos Beam Gen 2 owner, and just this week, I upgraded the Sony Bravia family tv to a bigger size. I tried to set up the Beam as normal to connect. Sony Bravia sync (CEC) was on, eARC mode was set to “off”, and the TV actually connected to the Beam briefly, sound coming through the Beam for about 3 seconds before reverting back to the TV speaker audio. “Digital Output” on tv audio settings went from white to grey and became unselectable. I tried this 4/5 times with the same result. The Beam connected but didn’t remain so, and the sound defaulted back to the TV speakers.  I will add that I unplugged two other hdmi connected inputs so it didn’t conflict.  Highly frustrating knowing the Beam works, but something is throwing the connection out. I’d appreciate any advice that you may have to try fix this problem in a different way. 

Will the Era 300s pair still with a 1st gen beam at all but just obviously not provide Atmos?I will eventually upgrade my gen 1 to an Arc, but would rather get the Eras first although there doesn’t seem much point if it won’t pair with my beam, I’d be better off getting the arc first then eventually Eras. Just can’t afford all at the same time!thanks 

Perhaps a question for the Sonos folks.I’m looking to replace a pair of Play 3s in one of my rooms. I’m reluctant to go with Play 5s because of the size. Will two Era 3s be a good alternative? On a related note, if I bought a pair or Era 300s, could I run a phono turntable and CD player into the two available line in ports? Many thanks

Every time I add to my Sonos system other speakers disappear. It’s so time consuming and frustrating to have to reset several speakers just because I spent more money with Sonos. You all should be paying me since I have to spend time reconnecting everything just to add more! It’s NOT the network! 

My current configuration is a Beam (gen 2) and two overheads that I have connected to an amp as surrounds. With my configuration, is it possible to add the Era 300 as extended surrounds (for atmos)?

I plan to buy a Sonos Ray. I don’t have a TV but a projector and I want to stream the sound wirelessly from my Mac to the Ray. Does that work?Many thanks,Henrik
