I have a Fire TV Stick 4K plugged into my Optoma UHZ50 HDMI Port (2). I’m running an HDMI cable from the Projector’s HDMI ARC to the Sonos Amp. Everything sounds great, except the volume +/- buttons on the Fire TV Stick Remote control do not work. The mute button does, curiously, but the +/- do not. I’ve tried messing with the Fire TV Stick “Equipment Management” options to no avail. Is anyone else running a Fire TV Stick with an HDMI-ARC to a Sonos Amp and able to control volume with the remote?  FWIW, I also have an AppleTV plugged into HDMI 3 and it works just fine, I just needed to select the appropriate speakers in the AppleTV Audio menu. I don’t have a similar option in the Fire TV settings. What’s bugging me is the mute button works, but the volume +/- do not. Any thoughts? 

Hihas anyone in the UK noticed the sound dropping out on BBC1 HD? Hear a lot on the football? Annoying as can’t tell if it’s the channel or sound bar. 

I have just purchased a Sonos Ray for my TV.  The TV is connected to the internet by an ethernet cable.  I don’t have a WiFi network as that has proved unreliable in my situation.  So, I want to use ethernet to connect the Ray.My Android phone is 6 years old running on Android v5.1, so it definately can’t run the Sonos App 2!      I’ll need a new phone.But before I buy the phone I’d like to know exactly how App 2 goes about setting up a wired Ray.  Everything I’ve found so far on the Web relates to WiFi setups.  Can someone please point me to a step by step explanation of a wired setup?  I could then make sure that I get the appropriate phone and ethernet setup at the TV end.Thanks in advance,Noel84

Hi guys,I bought a Roam SL early into my trip here in NYC. I have one back in Australia and know that I need to do the initial setup through WiFi so that I can then use it as a bluetooth speaker for the rest of the journey. I have tried using the hotel WiFi to get it working, but no joy. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I have just purchased two Boosts to use with two existing Sonos systems, both of which have some S1 only products and so require the S1 app to be used.  I read on the website that the Boost can be used with the S1 app, but when I try to set up the Boost it says it is only compatible with the S2 app.  Can someone advise me please? Thanks for any help!

I recently bought my first Sonos speakers (a set of Sonos One SLs from Costco setup as a stereo pair). I added YouTube Music after a couple of hiccups (something to do with “brand accounts”) and am able to play music on  the speakers. I have an individual YTM Premium subscription.I am running to two, probably related, issues:Launch Sonos app | Search for a song | long press | Play Now: This plays the song, but then stops after that song is done. In contrast, on the YTM app, I have ”Autoplay” enabled and clicking on the “Up Next” tab shows a long list of similar/recommended songs. This does not seem to work similarly within the Sonos app. Launch Sonos app | Search for a song | long press | more | Start Radio: This starts the “Radio” feature - but with a completely random song and not the song I searched for. Is this expected? The song is not completely random though -- each time I search for aspecific song and launch the radio, the same “random” song starts playing.Is this a known issue

Hi allFor some reason when I click on any playlists it just auto plays and does not open the playlist to let me see the songs in it. I have removed Amazon and re added it to my Sonos App. See screenshot attached 

Sonos unable to browse SiriusXM Canada on which I have an active subscription up to about 2 weeks ago Sonos would stream Sirius now NOT.  I have rebooted speakers and router.  I have signed out of SiriusXM and back in.  I have made sure SiriusXM account is active.   I have made sure I latest version of SiriusXM.  This IS a SONOS problem.

I have 4 One SL's for music only and just got the Sub. Does the Sub only connect to one of the One SL's or can it be connected to all of them at the same time?When the Sub is connected to one of the SL’s, does it change the crossover of the speaker its connected to but not the other speakers playing or does it know to change the crossover for all that is connected?

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.

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.
