I’ve tried to play such file as described in the title, and it says in the app it’s playing Multichannel PCM 7.1 I know sonos isn’t a 7.1 system, so in this case am I losing ATMOS or other audio content?  I’ve played 5.1 atmos files just fine

Please help someone, please!?I have been in IT for over 30 years and I have never seen an app like this. I have changed the wifi to a different router. so what is the problem?I would like to point my Sonos system (4 x SL + 1 x Sub) to the new wifi please.but when doing in to System → Network → pressing a greyed out “Manage Netowrks” the Android app tells me System update needed.   ( The app was on auto update but now I have switched off auto update, but it still does demand the update).Clicking Update, I get the message that there is an update and I have the option to press Update or Not now.So I press Not now as I want to do the WiFi configuration so I can update. make sense? or am I just stupid in thinking this is a logical way to go?What happens?  THE APP TAKES ME BACK TO THE MANAGE NETOWORK SCREEN!!!!!!Think quietly to myself “how interesting” again clicking Managen Networks, laughing at my stupidity of thinking that Not Now would do it. again getting the System Update Needed, one

Hello all, I know this question has been asked in a variety of ways, but I can’t seem to find my exact answer.  I’ve listed the components of my system below: Sony Bravia x950HApple TV 4kPlaybarSonos Sub I have the apple TV going into the Bravia via HDMI.  Optical out to the playbar and wirelessly connected sub.  No problem with this setup to date.I recently moved into a location that has built in rear speakers that I would like to connect to this system as dedicated rears.  It seems I can purchase the Amp to accomplish this.  I have 2 questions: 1.)  Will I notice any latency in connecting the rear speakers with the Amp?  If so, is there a way to avoid this with my current setup?2.)  What would be the best way to setup?In my mind, I would just add the Amp wirelessly to the group.  However, I have access to all the “guts” very easily, meaning, the location of the amp can connect to the same ethernet as the Playbar, and I also have access to the HDMI-arc from the TV or apple TV if neede

I have a Sonos Amp connected to my Xfi router’s LAN port via ethernet, thus putting my entire Sonos system in a wired mode.   It’s worked flawlessly since I installed it a few weeks ago.   Yesterday I connected an AppleTV and a Samsung television to two more of the router’s LAN ports for streaming stability.   When I did that, my Sonos music started cutting out every 4.5 seconds and it happened continuously so long as EITHER of those devices was connected to the router.   I tried removing the TV connection and the music still cut in and out.   Then I reconnected the TV and removed the AppleTV and got the same result.   The idea was to prove whether it was the AppleTV or the Samsung television, but alas they both cause the same problem.    When I disconnected both devices from the router, the music played perfectly again.Please note that there is NO interaction between the television/AppleTV and the Sonos system.   For instance, the TV audio plays out of its on board speakers, not throu

Just last night, I thought… Sonos has been stable for eight days. Unprecedented!Then today, it stopped playing Playlists. It would have trouble adding to the queue, and then when it did add, it would play 20 seconds of a song and skip forward.It would not update the music library.So I deleted the Library and tried re-adding.It gave me the above error message, so I added the IRPStackSize key as directed in the above message. (I did not have that in my registry, but remember everything was pretty close to OK for a week).I cut my Library folder down to just a few titles, and still get this message. I tried adding from my Android, and got the 900 error - which references back to “Server Stack”.It’s a 4 TB drive, and the total diskspace used is 178 GB.  Ay ay ay.

My daughter likes to put her hand on the actual subwoofer speakers while a song plays with big bass. Could that potentially damage the sub or is that okay? We have a Sonos Sub Mini.

I’m using the latest version of the Sonos app on my iPad and my iPhone. My Sonos system is up to date as well. I’m logged into my Sonos account on the app. I have Apple Music as my main source, but also Amazon Music. If I search for an artist, like CAIN and from Apple Music choose the station, “CAIN & Similar Artists Station”. It plays just fine and like it should. If I come back another day and select that choice from the list of Recent Searches within the Sonos app, it always shows “No results” or doesn’t even show Apple Music as an option. If I then delete everything and just search for “CAIN” and then select stations, the “CAIN & Similar Artists Station” appears as available and under Apple Music.I don’t understand why a recent search wouldn’t bring up the exact same results as what I originally selected for that search. Could this be a bug since it does it on both my iPad and iPhone? Here’s a screen recording showing how Apple Music doesn’t appear even though it was the or

Has anyone noticed that the SiriusXM “service” added to the Sonos app doesn’t have all of the channels that Sirius offers in it’s own app? Specifically I don’t see any of the several DEEP CUTS channels that Sirius offers. 

Hey Sonos community,I'm wondering if I can pair a SUB mini with an existing home theater system. I know we can add a second sub but can that sub be the Mini ? Existing system is:1x ARC2x Sonos one1X Sonos Sub Thanks

Is it possible to enter your own URL? It would be nice if you can play a radio station that is not in the list!

Ever since updating the app on ios (iphone 12), whe i touch/tap the volume and it makes a significant jump down in volume without me sliding it.  For instance, I am listening at a volume of 20 and want to adjust it upwards a bit,. I tap on the volume and it immediately jumps down to a volume of 14.  What gives here?  This is not a one time thing , it is now happening constantly , on all my sonos speakers. starting to get pretty annoying

I am having issue connecting my Sonos One to my new router wifi. Anyone can share how to fix the issue?

Now that my Fives arrived and successfully paired and grouped with my Sub & PlayBase (TV Room) I put my Ones in the garage repaired and sounding good. Now my Play 1’s are looking for a new room. Can I keep them paired and put them in the same room as my other 2 Play1’s (paired)? So I would have a total of 4 Play1’s (2 paired) in the room. And how would it sound?

- Which sonos smaller speaker can I pair with it to move around the house?? I don't want an additional Five 

While you can launch lossless music via the Sonos app (ie Amazon Music Unlimited), I’ve yet to see a Voice Assistant be able to do this yet (ie Alexa plays lower quality non-lossless music from Amazon Music Unlimited). I even thought Sonos Voice would solve this issue but it doesn’t. Has this been resolved yet in the last couple of months or so (on any combination of Voice Assistant and Music Service)?

Hi,  I use Synology Drive to mirror my MacBook music folder on my NAS - this folder includes both /iTunes Media/Music where all my music is stored and Previous iTunes Libraries/Custom Music Library.musiclibrary (where I think playlists, ratings etc are stored).I can access the music fine through the Sonos app, but the playlists don’t show up. Does anyone have suggestions on how to get them to show up?

I have a Playbar, sub, and two Play 1s. They are missing from my system. The Playbar is connected to my Roku TV. The Playbar and Sub play through the TV and when I press the play button on either one of the Play 1s they play as synced with the Playbar and sub. I have tried the recommended process for missing products and have not been successful. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have recently changed our home Wifi to TP Link Omada as our existing Wifi didnt reach around the home, I am planning on adding some managed switches too which I think will help with our sonos setup in the long run. I currently have a number of devices hard wired (wifi off), a boost and some on wifi (should be sonosnet) We have had performance issues on and off over the years and hard wiring some of the sonos appears to have fixed it, the office and nursery speakers are hard wired as they are the furthest from the Boost. Would an additional boost help? Since changed to Omada APs, our devices connected by WiFi arent able to play anything, the wired devices are still functioning, these are currently connected to dumb switches. Our network matrix is as below:  Any advice, suggestions are appreciated. I plan to move the location of the boost again as a first port of call. Does anyone use TP Link Omada and know the best settings to use?

I have a theatre room with a 7.1 set up. I usually have played the pausing game between the 2 directv receivers to get them close when hosting football games. I have a beam and ones in the other room that I use to broadcast the sound everywhere else in the house. Even by getting them synced close there can be an echo effect. I am wondering if I hook a port up to the av reciever will I be able to group it with the others and be able to have that audio play in the theatre room with everything else? Probably also boils down to if my av reciever will be able to play the audio of the port in, while keeping the picture playing from directv source.
