Hello  I’ve just moved into a house with Sonos Connect Amp that runs on the Sonos 1 app. All seems to work fine but I’ve been trying to listen to a station called Buzz MCR. It isn’t listed on the tunein app so tried adding the URL, but it still didn’t work. I just get silence. https://streaming02.zfast.co.uk:2199/tunein/kookyinc.plsI messaged the radio station and they said download sonos 2 app but that doesn’t connect to the sonos gear that I have.Can anyone help? Is there another app that might play the URL? Many Thanks ​

Hi I want to connect my turntable to Sonos Beam Gen 2, sub mini & 2 x Sl's.  I have two questions 1. I currently have turntable connected to vintage marantz amp to external speakers.  I no longer want to use external speakers but want to connect to my Sonos surround setup.  My turntable has pre-amp & I have connect gen 2. Will connecting connect gen 2 to my marantz amp improve sound over connecting directly to turntable?Question 2. I'm new to Sonos so do I connect the turntable (Connect gen 2) to my current setup entitled lounge (TV surround sound) or should I set up another group titled turntable with same speakers? Hope that makes sense.Help much appreciated.

Any general do’s and dont’s for creating a S2 network on the same lan as an existing S1 network, that is to remain unaltered?I’ve got the new devices attached (can ask Sonos to ‘play music’) but can’t get the S2 controller (any platform) to recognise them.Messages like:“Sonos found on this network. The system includes products that aren’t compatible with Sonos S2.“You have options:”Options offered include setting up a new system (done that) or ‘more’.Under ‘more’, there is nothing that seems to get us out of S1 jail. ‘About my system’ just shows the 5 products on the pre-existing S1 network.TIAAlex

I have two Sonos five set up as a stereo pair. Both are wall mounted and have not been moved a single time. Not moved or touched. Today I was listening to these days by Connor price when I heard a very obvious crackling sound coming from my left Sonos five at -0:45 till -0:43. everything else plays flawlessly, just that one part that dose not work. I have tried many things like unplugging it and re plugging it. But every time It happened. It is only the left one. It dose not happen when I set it to right on the eq or I turn down the bass from 5 to 0. it is only the left one and only when bass is turned up. I have no idea what it is. Btw both Sonos five are not the same version. They were bought a year apart. The left one dose not have a hexagon pattern / bee hive pattern in the mesh when shining light thorough it. The right one does. The left one is the older one but has never caused any problems. I have no idea what is cousins this problem. Thank you for reading this. Have a nice day.

Seen a few answers for this but i’d like one from Sonos.When will Trueplay be available & work on an iPhone Se 2 ?I have tried setting this up with an older iPhone 8 still would n’t happen.I have the latest version of the app & all software.

When listening to music on the speakers via Amazon HD Music using the S2 app on the desktop to cue a playlist, the tv level slider does not change the volume of the playbar. It moves but nothing happens. The music level slider does alter the volume of the surrounds. I am unclear about this as I thought the tv level slider should control the volume of the playbar. The music level slider does not alter the volume of the playbar. When watching television, the tv level slider works to control the volume of the playbar and surrounds at the same time. Is this how it is meant to work?  

Does the One SL go to sleep when not in use?  

Inherited a Sonos Playbase, but i don't know how to set it up. Any help is welcome. I do have it working with a Sony TV, but cant seem to get it connected to the wifi. i do have the ability to plug it into ethernet.

Hi.  I have been using my S1 App for quite some time now as the majority of my system is quite old.  However I have recently been gifted a new Roam SL which is S2 compatible only.  Now, I know I can split the system for S1 and S2 systems (and if I have read it correctly, it is really only my Play 5 that won’t work with the new S2 app) and I am happy to set up two systems.  However my question is this.  Can the speakers that I move across to the S2 app (Play 1s, SYMFONISKs, Playbar) also be added back into the S1 app?  IN other words, when I use my Play 5 with my turntable, can I have those S1 compatible speakers on both SONOS systems?

I updated the PC version of the Sonos app yesterday to the latest one.  Immediately, the volume controls are now greyed out and not accessible.  I have four locations, and it’s somewhat random which are greyed out.  Sometimes it’s just one room and sometimes it’s multiple.  My iPhone app is working just fine. What can I do to fix this? Thanks.  

Hello there,Until now, I was using a Google Nest Mini speaker to control my lights and plugs connected to my home.I recently got a Sonos Beam and I set up the google assistant.With the Nest Mini, in the application, when it was located in the same room as the connected plugs and lights, when turning on or off, there was a simple "ding or dong". With the Beam, even if it's in the same room, I still get a confirmation like, "Okay, I turn on the light..."Is there any way WITHOUT GOING THROUGH THE ROUTINES, to have a simple ding / dong?Thanks for your help

Can anyone help with this issue - on Sonos 1, I have installed Alexa and enabled the skills via alexa - but no BBC station will pay after the initial “BBC sounds” announcement…. I have installed……deleted, re enables, … rebooted and disabled and then re enabled the skill but to no avail…… and also……. Alexa won’t play any music at all ……..any help or assistance would be greatly appreciated…….

Hello allI am getting no where with support and wanted to reach out to you. The Sonus Roam turns on and connects to my network. I can always use Alexa and it works well/plays music from spotify.The issue is that it often doesn’t show as an option to connect to within spotify or the Sonus app.  This issue may resolve c10mins into turning on but as you can imagine it is v v irritating.  Before letting the battery discharge and leaving in a cupboard/giving away, I wanted to know if anyone has a fix for this.I currently have the issue on Samsum S21 ultra.Thanks in advance allDaniel 

I am about to purchase a new Samsung television . My current television has a Playbar and a gen. 1 Sub. connected . All are functioning as expected. My questions is: Should I uninstall these two Sonos devices before I connect them to the new television or is the set-up a simple “plug and play” procedure ?Thank you.  Mod Edit: Edited for accuracy - “Playbar” instead of “soundbar”

I use S1, have about 10 zones, have a ‘connect’ hard-wired to the router, and an apple time capsule connected to that ‘connect’. The time capsule produces its own network which I use throughout the house, using apple repeaters connected via the ethernet port. This all works very well (for many years). We have just changed our Internet Provider, so have a new pre-configured router. The router works, we have Internet and, like the previous one, another wi-fi network that reaches only part of the house. The Sonos system can access Internet services and all the zones are as they should be, but I can no longer access music vis Sonos on the external hard drive. I can still access it and play the music from my laptop! When I try to make a second music library (at the same existing location) within S1, the error message is: the computer [] refused to let the Sonos product connect to it. I have tried rebooting all the zones - no effect. I cannot see anything meaningful to change in any menu. Wh

Have new Roam and enabled the Alexa Skill successfully and Alexa commands work beautifully.  Should the Sonos Commands like “Sonos Play Music” still work?

With the last update, the sound on my Port has changed.I use the analog outputs with variable volume control and uses the EQ and loudness and the Port is connected directly to a power amplifier, with large floor speakers.I don't have an Arc or Beam, but to me it sounds like Port now have the same Enhanced Clarity sound profile !I am not satisfied with this because I believe a product like the Port should not add a sound signature to the sound, it should play with a complet neutral sound.I can understand Sonos will have a sound signature on their speakers, but not on the Port.I think it must be a mistake, that this sound change update, has been sent to the Port. 

HelloI have a “home theater” system with an ARC + Sub gen3 + 2 one SL and works perfect.Can I “split” the system and create a new room configuring the 2 one’s as a stereo pair to play music and leave them configured as surrounds speakers when I watch TV?Thank you     

Hi there,I’ve got 9 speakers around the house. A paired set of Play Ones in the kitchen are consistently AWOL when I want to start playing something. I’m looking for suggestions on the next changes I should try.Maybe it’s the speakers, maybe it’s my network config, maybe it’s wifi interference.I’ve had problems in the past with keeping any speakers connected and have tried several configs with varying success. Only having two speakers that disconnect/disappear regularly is the best it’s been, but still pretty annoying.Setup:1x Playbar & 2x Play:1 in front room HT setup on main floor2x Play:1 stereo pair in middle of main floor in dining room1x Play:1 in middle of main floor in office2x Sonos One stereo pair in kitchen at back of house on main floor1x Play:5 1st gen in basement at back of houseMy home network is a Unifi system with 4 access points so lots of options for configuration and lots of rope to hang myself with.One AP in mid main floor, one at front of house on top floor, o

Hello everyone,I am the owner of a 65-inch Samsung RU8000 (2019 edition). I would like to buy a Sonos Beam (Gen 2) to experience a better audio and the Dolby Atmos experience.The soundbar will be connected through HDMI ARC.Before buying, I would like to understand:1) The compatibility between my TV and the soundbar: are they fully compatible? Will the soundbar turn on automatically when I turn o the tv? Can I control the soundbar using the same TV remote?2) What are the limitations of my TV in audio terms. For this purpose, I attach you a picture found in this forum about the audio characteristics of my TV. Could you please help me to better understand what can I get from the combination of RU8000 with Sonos Beam (Gen 2)?As far I have understood, I can get dolby atmos only from Netflix and Prime. But what will be the "experience" with other sources (for instance, for normal TV or by using a Bluray external source)? Will the soundabar work with them?Thank you very much for any help you
