Having just read all about the new Sonos Era 100 I am unsure if I add one to my existing system, will I be able to stream a bluetooth device throughout the whole house? Any ideas?

Hi,Quick question about ceiling speakers please. I can see the dimensions online for width and depth but can’t see anything relating to the maximum thickness of plasterboard / wood that they can fit on. Looking at the pictures it secures with clamps so just wondering how wide these go if anyone knows? Would it fit on a double layer of plasterboard for example? Also with one pair I assume I just run one cable back to each side of the amp, rather then daisy chain?ThanksSteve

Hi, are there any online templates I can print off for the ceiling speaker cutout? If not is any one able to confirm the size in 210mm? Cheers

Hello, I have been using three Sonos speakers for years and they still work perfectly, BUT they are not compatible with Airplay.   If I buy one newer Sonos speaker that is Airplay compatible, will that effectively make the whole system Airplay compatible?   

Hello- We have Sonos Play Sound Bars that we use at home in out bedroom and living room along with Ones in the bedroom and Threes in the living room.We also have 2 Moves that I will use to take into the backyard to play music throughout our yard along with th house Sonos speakers.We have an older RV that I would like to add a Sonos Beam or Ray ( due to the smaller size) that I can use our Moves with.  My problem is that we won’t have WiFi except as a HotSpot from mt Verizon phone. First- is there a soundbar that I can use as a BlueTooth and add the two Moves  to it - OR if that won’t work… How would I use my 2 Moves with a Soundbar  oe aomwthing that is hooked up to our TV and add the Moves?Thanks in Advance!

I recently added a second hand Sub to my Beam. To begin with it would not connect to my Asus TUF-AX5400 WiFi router. I then connected with ethernet cable and finished reset and setup with the Beam. However I do not want to use cables, so I switched to WiFi and disconnected the cable. The Sub reconnected and so far everything works perfect.. My question is that when I look at connected Clients with my Asus app, The Sub shows up as disconnected, but it´s working fine. If I check with the Sonos app, it shows that Beam and Sub is connected. Why is that? Just curious :-)

I am losing the will to live now as I have tried various recommended audio extractor boxes and am still having a audio delay through my speaker system. I am trying to use a projector with my Sonos system but my audio is way behind and cant seem to find anything to sort this issue.I did have a little success with connecting my amp to a sky multi box (through the ARC HDMI) however this isn't very practical but at least it worked. I am really hoping someone can help as after spending a considerable amount on the amp plus ceiling speakers I would love to get a solution.

 I just updated to version 15.1.1.I now notice, that the entire screen on my iPad goes dark, when I adjust the volume.Is this a new feature or a bug or have I not noticed this before ? 😉   

I am constantly having to click Play to start my streaming music - it is NOT Wi-Fi related at all, there is no break in Wi-Fi - it’s is a Sonos setting that automatically Stops the music playing

Hi,I have recently installed LG G2 screen along with SONOS AMP and both are connected via HDMI ARC on HDMI port 2.i have 2 x HDMI sources (Apple Tv & Dish Tv) which are connected with the LG screen by using HDMI port 1 & HDMI port  2.Once SONOS amp configured properly with the LG screen but after a couple of minutes mute showed on the LG screen and audio muted. in this scenerio if i select the TV speakers, sound comes from the tv speakers properly but on ARC it gets muted.Then i unplug the Dish tv HDMI and after couple of seconds sound comes from the ARC.Please advise. 

I'm sure it will work, but I'm curious if anybody knows if the era 300's will work as surrounds with an arc and dual subs config? Again I'm sure it will, just wanna have that confirmed.

I’ve been struggling with the Sonos S2 app. All works fine with the app until I log in. At that point, all of my devices become unavailable. If I log out, close the app and go back in, my devices become available again. Clearly there’s something in my profile that’s completely screwed up. I’ve tried countless times to reconnect the devices, but the app always fails once I log in. It seems like I have to delete my account and recreate it, but that may be extreme (and might mess up my registrations).Of course, despite my system working fine when I’m not logged into the app, I lose access to all of my services unless I’m logged in.How do I fix this?Thanks!

When using my Calm subscription on my Sonos system, I’ve noticed many music options available on the Calm app are not available on Sonos. For example, on the Calm App or on their website (from a browser) there is a music selection called “Gently Back to Sleep”.  That is not available under any of the categories listed under Calm on the Sonos app.Similarly, Calm has its own concept of Favorites and there is no favorites category under Calm on the Sonos app.Honestly I’m betting this is a limitation with the integration between Calm and Sonos but I thought I’d check here to see if others have encountered this.

Can you create an Atmos setup with four Era 300 speakers, plus Arc or Beam of course?

So….… Last Saturday(09/12/20), all of a sudden, I was able to control Sonos from the Lock Screen on my iPhone.  It worked on mine and my wife’s phone.  When we woke up Sunday morning, it was gone. Sonos. Make it work, we are tired of waiting.  *Moderator Note: Modified in accordance with the community guidelines.*

Can you help, I stream with Paramount+ on Apple TV, a current tv show and get Dolby 5.1 audio. However if I stream Maverick same way I only get PCM 2.0. If I stream either the tv show or the movie  from the smart LG TV the best I can ever get is PCM 2.0Any ideas?

I'm thinking of buying SONOS sub (Gen.3).Can I send Music from my iPhone to SONOS sub (Gen.3) directly via 'AirPlay 2'? for Example:iPhone SE → SONOS sub (Gen.3)iPhone SE → HomePods and SONOS sub (Gen.3)without Other Sonos items. Moderator edit: combined posts

Hello everyone. I am new to Sonos, so forgive my inexperienced question.I have at home one Amp with Sub Mini, together with Sonance Ceiling Speakers in my living room. It was working great with no problem.Today, I decided to install in my TV room an Sonos Arc with a Sub.When I configured in the Sonos App the new equipment, the Amp+Sub Mini disappears and I can’t find a way to have both configurations on the same app.I want to stream music on my living room (Amp+Sub Miini) while for example my watches a movie in the TV Room (Arc+Sub). Or in occasions, stream the same music to both configurations simultaneously.I tried resetting all of them, but it seems as if is either of the systems, not both together.

I recently moved house so my ISP, room layout, etc. are completely different than my old situation which worked perfectly. In my old house I never had trouble with my Sonos Connect (playing music from my NAS drive through my stereo). But in my new house the Connect is cutting out. My Sonos One’s and ZonePlayer S5 are playing fine and I have a 1GB broadband connection, so the problem is clearly with the Connect. My Sonos system consists of a Sonos Boost, 2 Sonos 1’s, the Sonos Connect, and a ZonePlayer S5. The Connect is accessing the system via the Boost (WM=0 for all Sonos components).I can think of several possibilities:(1) The satellite in my Orbi Mesh network is not carrying the signal properly. I would ideally like to use a wired connection to the closest satellite, but the satellite itself has problems when I move it close to my stereo. So it’s currently sitting on the other side of my living room.(2) The Connect is ignoring the Orbi satellite and is trying to connect directly to

Hi, I have x2 Amps and x8 speakers across 2 rooms.On a few occasions the volume reduces down by itself. When you increase it, the volume automatically turns itself down again.it is occasional and not that common but always seems to happen when we are entertaining. For the price of the system you wouldn’t expect this type of issue.Diagnostics reference: 1276846024. Any guidance gratefully received!    

I am trying to add an external HD to my system as the Music Library. This worked when I used an NAS but although I’ve gone through the right steps (I think) with this hard drive, and updated the library, I get ‘no selections are available’ when I look for music.

My SONOS ARC has been very unstable for the past 3 months on my LG OLED CX tv.Every day when I turn the TV on, there’s a 50% chance of the TV reverting its audio output to the internal speakers.Tried a different cable and tried to disconnect every other device. Tried to reset the SONOS and the TV, all without luck.Diagnostics 679505560, the issue happened within 2 minutes of this diagnostic report.

I have an Arc connected to my TV along with an associated Sub3. I also have 2 Amps that power 3 pars of of ceiling speakers (not setup as surround). Everyone now an then both Amps will drop out for a few seconds which is very annoying. I tried hardwiring (ethernet) one of the Amps to my router and it did not help.Will it resolve my issue if I daisy chain the Arc and the two Amps together? Or do I need to connect the Arc to the router?  In either case, I need to run the the ethernet cable behind the wall which I’m not ready to do unless I know for sure that it will permanently resolve the issue.I also want to mention that I have a PLay5 and pair of Play 1s so I cannot disable WiFi on the sytem

Hi there, I can’t access to the Sonos (S2) applicaiton since the last Android update.My Beam (Gen 1) works fine (sound from the TV) but impossible to reach the application functions.Each time I try to configure the wifi connection I’ve got a failed “technical problem” message. I’ve tried a lot of things : reinitializing the Beam (several times), reinitializing my connection access but always the same connection soundbar issue.Before the Android app update all was working fine but since the 15.1.1 version I can’t connect the Beam 1.Am I the only one and above all have you a solution ?
