Hiya, I am currently running a playbar 1.9.1  and 2 x play 5s. 1.13 & 2 x play 1s 1.21. Will i be able to still run my play 5s and play 1s  from a sonos ray or beam ?. 

Suddenly I noticed a distorted crackling sound when watching TV and listening to music with deep bass.I have tried factory reset and did a new Trueplay configuration.The problem is still there. You think it is a problem with the bass speaker itself?Any ideas? I guess my warranty has expired.Help!

I can add my music library, which is on an external USB drive without a problem. However, none of the contents of this library is imported to the Sonos S1 app--no selections are visible at all. I’ve tried removing and re-adding the library three times, turning file sharing on and off, choosing “update music library now,” giving Sonos S1 full disk access, all to no avail. How do I get the tracks to load and index into the app? Using a MacStudio running Monterey.

I have a Sonos Amp and two Symfonisks and would like to use Tidal. In the Tidal app, I can see all devices when clicking on the Cast button. When I select the speakers, the cast icon keeps blinking, but it never connects, even for minutes. The issue is the same with 4 different android devices in our household.Our network is a AVM Fritz! Mesh Wlan, but even with all devices in Sonosnet the problem persists. RegardsChris

Hi,I have a Sonos Amp and two Symfonisks and have been trying out various streaming services. Tidal and Qobuz are not in the list of services. I have tried it out with the Android app and with the Windows application.Deezer is available in the list and has been working without issues, but I have been using Tidal for a while and would like to stay with it. RegardsChris 

I got the list of favorite songs but don't know how to pass the parameters to play the music

Got home yesterday and I noticed that my arc’s light was cycling a flashing green light then it would go to a flashing white light after. I went on the app and noticed it was no longer connected to my network. when i try to factory reset it does not go through the normal cycle of white to orange to green while holding the button on the back.Only when I let go of the button does it go straight to green. Ive tried multiple different things like leaving it unplugged, attaching an Ethernet cable and nothing seems to work. i feel like my last hope is to call Sonos on monday.Also when i try to connect the sonos with my network through that app the sonos app crashes.and yes i have tried uninstalling the app many timesI have tried two different iphones as well and they both crash the sonos appi would appreciate any help

Hello, I have a tv that has Arc but no eArc. I am thinking of buying a blu ray player that has an HDMI input only for audio (audio output only).Can I connect an HDMI cable from the blu ray player's audio output to the sonos beam 2 input to play uncompressed Atmos from UHD discs?I understand that the arc output of the tv cannot output audio with high bitrate such as atmos and others. So my only option is to output the audio from the player to the bar, and while it should work, I don't know for sure.Thanks and regards.

Hi there, I’m trying to figure out the best setup for my new home audio set up. I have13 Bestbuy Sonance ceiling speakers (4,5 zones). Most zones have 2 pairs. Some have 3. Sonos arc sb below TV.  Will buy the Sonos sub behind the TV 2 of the ceiling speakers are in the tv room but they are front and back of the sofa  4 other ceiling speakers in the same zone in the kitchen open space to the living room Considering if I need the Sonos Ones for the TV All speakers wires, TV HDMI (arc) cables are ran in a media room.what do you guys recommend for the amplifier setup where I cancontrol all zone or each zone with Apple music independently Use the ceiling speakers in the kitchen + living room zone with the arc and sub for the best TV audio experience. Easy to control with Siri, Alexa etcI’m pretty noob in home audio. From my early research, seems like getting a Sonos amp per zone should work for what I want? Can I connect 3 pairs of ceiling speakers into 1 amp? How does the Arc, amp, sub a

Hi all, I have a challenge for you…I have a PS5 connecting to the game port on a Samsung Q90 TV and then the Q90 connecting to to a Sonos beam Gen 2 via the E-arc port. I have 2 x Play:1’s serving as surround speakers. I have the ps5 set to output the audio stream as bitstream to the TV. TV is set to “pass-through” on the audio settings. I am trying to play a blu-ray from the PS5 which I can see (from the PS5 screen) is outputting as LPCM 5.1, 48khz. However, when I look at the Sonos app it shows up as Stereo PCM, so it seems to be down mixing. If I put my ear really close to the rear surrounds I can just about hear a faint noise, but it’s not what you would call surround sound. Has anyone come across this? I think the config is okay - if I play a blu-ray from the ps5 using Dolby true-HD 5.1 it plays fine in all it’s surround sound glory and shows up on the sono app as True-HD. I am also getting good surround sound from Amazon Prime, so I think this problem is related to LPCM 5.1 only.

Recently bought a beam and SONOS sub mini. Unboxed and went to connect to my Girlfriends TV only to realize its a cheap TV and does not offer optical out, only RCA and SPDIF via coax.Has anyone successfully obtained an audio converter for any sonos sound bars, to convert either the RCA or Coax out, into a converter then Optical out using the SONOS supplied optical to HDMI adaptor into the beam?Trying to get an idea, whether using this would work? Or using a HDMI switch with an optical output. This would then mean audio out only for HDMI devices. I am in Australia where we get free to air TV so i would not get Audio out of the Beam for this as this is connected via Coax from Aerial. Thats fine as i really only want audio for movies which will be comes from an external device. Thanks.

I am a long time Spotify user with the old Sonos Play:5.  Usually I stream to Sonos directly from Spotify app on the phone (although I can do it though the S1 controller as well).  I have been thinking of transitioning to Apple Music.  I used a free third party app to move around 8 playlists from Spotify to Apple Music, and then I created new playlists within Apple Music.  I added Apple Music to S1 as well.  I can see Apple Music playlists through the S1 app, but only those that transitioned from Spotify; I don’t see the ones I created from scratch within Apple Music.  I would appreciate some help. 

I am trying to configure a new Arc to play nice with my Amazon Echo devices. I am able to connect the Arc to my Alexa app and control the Arc from my other Echo devices and I am able to issue commands to the Arc and have it respond however the Arc does not show up as an “Alexa-Enabled Device” within the Alexa app so my Arc has ZERO situational awareness inside of the room so it is useless to control Smart Home devices without context.  For instance, at the moment when I speak to the Echo inside a room I can say, “Turn off the lights” and it will shut off just the lights in that room. When I say the same commands to my Arc it just picks a random room and shuts off the lights. I have attempted to un-link and re-link the Sonos skill within Alexa, and disabled and re-enabled Alexa Voice Assisstant within the Sonos app. My main question is that if there is a way to get the Arc to appear within the Alexa app as an Alexa-Enabled Device or is this out of the question?

Trying to add iHeartRadio and I already have an account, but keep getting the error in the photo. Can’t seem to get it to work. I’ve removed the app restarted my speaker and hasn’t worked. Any help is greatly appreciated.   

I’d like to know if I could use my 2 IKEA Symfonisk picture frames (as surround speakers) with a sonos Arc.Thank you for your contribution before my Sonos Arc investment 

Hello, we are having problems connecting our new SONOS Beam Gen 2 to the Google home network and having the Sonos speaker as an option to connect with Google speakers throughout the house.  second issue is when we talk to the Sonos speaker to play music it responses with cannot play because the speaker isn’t available. 

As the title suggests, when I select an artist and pick a song, something completely different is played by a different artist. Any ideas??

Hi- I have had my Beam and two play 1s connected to my tv for a couple of years and had no problems. A week or so ago, I turned the power point off at the wall to save electricity per my electricity provider’s request, and now it won’t play through the tv. Still works via wifi. I’ve changed from optical to HDMI arc and even changed cables. So I guess my question is, do the HDMI ports on these things ever go bad? If so, would that show up in troubleshooting?

Hi, been using Sonos many years and I frequently use the Sonos app to play my purchased content from Amazon Music. After the recent prime library change, only the first 50 or so of my songs load in the purchased content section of the Amazon Music integration in Sonos app. Searching for songs I own outside of the first 50 alphabetical on Amazon do not show either. I have reauthorized and that didn't help. Anyone else having this issue? How do I resolve?

once a mini sub is bonded with a beam how does it appear as an airplay speaker.  Can I airplay just the sub with other airplay speakers or will the beam come with it?

hello, I recently signed up for Sonos Beta Rewards. do you know how points are counted, the number of posts, the use of beta programs...? thank you in advance

Hi! I’m in the process of changing over to Sonos from a more traditional system and have connected my Apple Music account which is what I use to stream 90% of our music. Is there a way to “thumbs down” a song using the Sonos app so it gets skipped and doesn’t play again?

Is there any way I can connect a Move speaker to my Ray so that it can be used to carry the sound to other parts of the room?
