Hello,I got yesterday my new sub mini and wanted to integrate it in my existing home theater setting consisting in a Playbase and 2 One SL.After setting up the sub mini to my WiFi, it downloaded an new firmware but when i tried to integrate it via the Sonos app in my exisiting setting i got an error message, when i retried it, the picture showed now 2 sub minis in my system but i still got the same error message. When i play music, the sub is not working.What can I do?Thanks for your feedbackBest regards,Marc

the bcc has announced that it will only be available to listen to on its app can some one tell me weather Sonos will support this when it happens which I believe is very soon 

I’ve 2 old play5 gen 1 and want to purchase a Sonos product that will connect with the old technology help please 🙏 

Current setup: Sonos Beam connected via ethernet.  All other devices connected over SonosNet.Recently got a new router.  The modem stayed the same so I wouldn’t expect any issues.  Everything was working fine until this morning when my Sonos app couldn’t find any devices.  The ‘System’ button is dithered and it states ‘Unable to find your Sonos system’.Troubleshooting steps so far:Confirmed Beam connected over ethernet is showing as an online and connected device on through my modem. Unplugged all devices except for Beam. Tried the walkthrough steps on Sonos app to reconfigured the plugged in Beam and it states it can’t find the product.Any help would be appreciated.

My Amazon Echo Show and Dot both are able to play music on my Sonos One. But when I attempt to join them together, the Alexa app says the Sonos is not compatible. Surely by now this should have been sorted.Any help appreciated.Asking in hope.

I’ve been trying to find the WiFi specs of Sonos products to little success. Basically my question is this: Say I have a system with a Sonos Arc, Amp, and Port. I have the option to hardwire ONE of these devices to provide SonosNet to the other two. Which would provide the most reliable connection? (disregarding physical proximity). Which has the better antennas? Thanks!

Hi all,I’ve looked through the manual and help files and cannot find this answer. Can you do this?I want to get a Arc soundbar and then used my two Play 5’s as a left and right channel to the Arc as the center channel. Can this be done?I can see how to make the Play 5 a stereo pair and I can see how to make the Play 5’s surround speakers, but I don’t want that...I’m looking to have the Play 5’s work with the Arc in front of me as my left/right mains and the bar dead center.Can this be done?Maybe its just that simple….make the Play 5’s a stereo pair, put them in front of me in the left/righ position, add the Arc and done…..not sure if that will actually work as they all need to talk to each other.Thoughts?Thx!!

My Play 5 line in is not working, under system settings it shows as connected. It plays through to my connect amp but not on the play 5 or my other speakers

sub will not power up. plug is fully pushed in and in power socket that works. have not used sub for over 12 months as been away from this house.

Hi there,My friends offered me a Pro-Ject T1 record player a few months back.It is a Project T1 regular (not the SB one) with cables attached directly to the device.I never owned a record player before and I am quite excited but I am not sure which sonos I should get to connect to my already owned Sonos One x2 and Beam.I see a lot of stuff related to the SB itself. Would anyone know if the port is sufficient? Or if I need the amp?Would love to get some help here!Thanks,Amélie

Hello,A new sonos user here and I’ve just bought a Gen 2 soundbar.  It’s plugged into my 43 inch LG tv via HDMI Arc and it sounds good/loud.  I watched Thor on Disney + which is supposed to be in Dolby Atmos but I didn’t hear anything to suggest I was hearing atmos.  Is there a way to tell from the app or the soundbar itself?if I look on the app it says Stereo PCM. If I change the settings on the TV to pass through the app changes to Dolby 5.1. I presume I don’t want this as I only have the Gen, no surrounds or sub. Also it sounds terrible.  any ideas to know I am hearing atmos? A particular film I could try?many thanks for your help!J. 

I have several Sonos devices across my apartment (Play1s,Play5s, Connect:Amp, ZP100) and also several google devices (Pixel Phone, 2 Alarms, Google Hub)All Google devices work properly in  playing spotify or streaming radio on any Sonos Device.EXCEPT my GoogleHub where I love to have my radio streamed with my first coffee and its driving my crazy. Early in the morning I do not want to fumble around my phone for the app but use the convenience of voice commands.That's where I get the "This”mode is not available on <Sonos Device Name>” while the GoogleHub shows me the Sonos controls on the screen (which does work btw).Already checked country settings, spotify accounts (it's also TuneIn btw), re-connected all services.Any ideas ?

I have two Play1 speakers, speaker A I set up using S2 app but I could not get to work.  The other, I used the S1 app and is now working fine with the S2 app.  Speaker A is connected but says it’s not registered and thus cannot playback.  Tried hardwire, factory reset, but cannot get it to work.  Has anyone else had this issue before?  What did you do to fix it? Diagnostic number 415954629

Hi,I have Sonos Beam gen. 2 with to Sonos One SL as rear speakers. As my wife is hard of hearing we use an apple airport express to connect her headphones to the Apple TV via AirPlay. The beam is connected to a LG Oled via eARC. LG ist set to “passthrough”.When we’re watching Dolby Atmos movies and activate AirPlay additionally the Sonos app shows “stereo PCM” and I hear at least up mixed stereo from the rear speaker.But when I watch non-Atmos movies (for e.g. 5.1) the Sonos app shows Multi-Channel PCM 7.1 and the rear speakers don’t receive any sound information and are  muted when we activate AirPlay additionally. Can anyone help me to understand this behaviour? What can I do to at least have stereo up mix output on the rear speakers when watching 5.1 movies.    

Hello, i didn’t find answer to my question : On the TV, I would like to put HDMI input audio format on bitstream, but the option is greyed out.Do you have an idea why ? EDIT : answer found here : 

I have my optical out hooked into my receiver with surround sound.I have my Sonos Beam Hooked into my HDMI ARC. But for some reason I am not getting any output on the Beam.When I go to my Samsung TV under connected devises I can see the Beam as Connected.So my question is will the TV send the audio signal to both the receiver and the Beam or just one or the other. If it will send the audio signal to both, what am I doing wrong. 

I’m pulling what hair I have left out over this. To be honest it’s also bloody annoying that of all the wifi enabled gadgets connected to my network Sonos always, always gives me grief! I hope the software team is listening in on this, as you can consider your programming skills get a grade of E-, must try hard, see me after lesson!Rant over...So, I’ve changed broadband provider and am trying to connect to my Play 5 Gen 2. I’ve separated my wifi into 2.4 and 5.8 and connected my app/android phone to the 2.4. I’ve made sure I’m in wireless mode 802.11b/g/n, chan 11 with WPA-WPA2-Personal set and yet my Sonos app still can’t see my 5. I’ve tried going through the Sonos network and again all I get asked is to name the network and enter a password to a Sonos network I have no idea what that password is!!  Or I simply get no wifi networks available, spinny wheel.I’m this close to chucking the bloody thing out the window unless someone can save me in this circle of Sonos Dantean despair!

 Only the Roams show this behaviour.   Both powered off with the three chime feedback.  Are they actually powered off or not? 

Hello Everyone,I wanted to know if you have the same problem, in the Sonos app (S2), I have installed the Apple Music service, when I want to play all tracks, the Sonos app gives the error number 1002.Please let me know.Thank you forward for your feedback.

Hello,I recently installed a Sonos Port to an Amp to control my speakers out by my pool. I can play music via SiriusXM on my ipad so long as I am connected to my wifi network. There is the issue. I was thinking that playing music and accessing the system via the sonos app would work remotely being the port is linked to my wifi network. Is that not how it works? Do you have to be on the wifi network to be able to start playing music? I wanted to be able to turn the speakers on for someone even if I wasn’t home.  Thanks!

We have an open-plan living/dining/kitchen space.  On one side I have an Arc, with two PLAY:1 speakers as surrounds. I have a Samsung TV with eArc, all that works perfectly.For some time I have had a Sonos speaker in the kitchen area so that when cooking, I can group it to the Arc and hear the TV sound without having to turn the living room speakers way up. It’s been working fine for months… but not now.I am getting dropouts so badly that I cannot bear to use the kitchen speaker. I simply cannot figure out what has changed. My WiFi coverage is good (I have Unifi boosters around the flat). The kitchen speaker (a Sonos One) works perfectly when solo or grouped playing other sources.I have played around with the Group Audio delay, it doesn’t help, and as the speaker is effectively in the same room as the Arc+Surrounds it’s’ not very desirable introducing a delay. I’ve tried using a Sonos Roam instead of the One. Same behaviour.Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot or fix this would be mu

Hello,I have 2 play 1s, a play 3, a move, and an arc connected to my system currently and can't for the life of me get my Gen 3 Sub added. Router is an Asus Zenwifi It "connects" and then sits at the connecting to wifi screen for a while then says it's added to the system but may not show up and to cycle the power if it isn't showing to complete the setup.Well I've done that and it's nowhere to be found. I have tried factory resets and repeating the process to no avail. Rebooting the router doesn't seem to do anything either.. "Find missing products" says it seems that all devices are available...I have also tried connecting an ethernet cable between the sub and router and completing setup this way but the sub doesn't even get discovered when I do this??Getting a little frustrated and looking for any ideas you have. 

Hello. I have multiple sets of Sonos speakers and want to connect one set to my Beam for a simple home theater. I can play music through any combo I like, but when I try to add surrounds to the Beam, they aren’t recognized. Help please?

I am trying to connect my new Sonos one with limited success. I have the new sonos app and have followed the instructions to setting up my speaker countless times, but run into roadblocks when it can’t find my system or connect to my wife, even after my phone hears the chimes it plays but then my app cannot find the system. I have rebooted, company reseted and reseted the app multiple times as well but can’t make any progress.

I have an Optoma UHZ50 Projector and I just realized it has an HDMI ARC port (HDMI 1). I plugged the Apple TV into HDMI 2, and ran a new HDMI cable (this one from Amazon) from HDMI 1 (HDMI ARC) to the Sonos Amp, and there is no audio coming through. I made sure the Optoma “Audio Mode” is set to the “SPDIF/eARC” option, and I did the “TV Setup” on the Sonos app for the Amp and it says it was successful / “done” - but there’s no audio. Is there some other setting I could be missing on the Sonos?  In the Apple TV there’s an option to select a “temporary audio source” and when I do, I can select “Living Room” which is the name of my Sonos room, but I have a feeling that’s sending the audio via Bluetooth or something, because when I switch to the Fire TV it doesn’t work at all, and I don’t think the device should be selecting the audio output source - the projector should just be outputting the audio directly via the HDMI ARC, right? Am I missing something obvious here?
