How to set up my boost and play base to work with the s1 controller?

I have a port hooked up to a vintage music centre via analogue (obvs). All has been well but recently the port has started making a weird noise. It’s hard to describe, a digital noise that isn’t particularly loud but is noticeable. It almost sounds like something from an old space invaders game. It occurs every 56 seconds and regardless of whether music is playing. If I reboot the Port it will go away but returns after some time, don’t know exactly when.  I’m presuming the Port is faulty but wondered if this was a known issue. Has anyone experienced anything like this? 

Hi! I have old Sonos connect on a NAD amp. I would like to connect Sonos in-wall speakers. As they are passive it should work properly.Have you tested this configuration? Do you confirm ? My plan is to be ready to change the Connect to a future Port and Sonos Amp later. Thanks for the help ; )

I manage my local music with Apple Music.  I then copy the entire music directory to a NAS so that the tracks are always available.  In the past, Sonos could harvest the playlists out of the .muscilibrary database but that recently stopped working.Is this a know bug?  Is there a work around?  I’ve attempted to use .xml and/or .m3u playlists as a tactical solution but Sonos flat out ignores the .xml files and the .m3u files show up as playlists but the list itself is empty.Thanks for any guidance.Charles.

I have simple setup where my Sony TV is connected to a set of Klipsch speakers as the main audio output, and I also have an Amp which is connected to the speakers. I noticed that when I listen to Spotify on the tv/speakers, the sound is much louder and clearer than if I played it directly from the app and amp. Does anyone know why? This is puzzling me since if anything I should expect better quality from the amp. TIA!

Has anyone else experienced this issue?  Many music files which I have played successfully over several years have now mysteriously vanished.  Two albums which I played only yesterday have now disappeared.  I bought into Sonos a long time ago so use the Sonos1 app on both my Mac and iPhone and despite refreshing / indexing the library they have (along with numerous other albums) completely gone.  They are still there in my iTunes library on my Mac but Sonos has stopped “seeing” them.  Any ideas?  Thanks.

Hi, My Sonos One SL suddenly got disconnected from the system last week.I have had It connected over the last 3 years without any problem.Now, I am not able to reconnect it again and I feel like I have tried everything.I am getting different error codes and messages about ethernet cable, wrong password, too far away from the router or adjust the router settings.Since I have a pair, both bought the same time, this doesnæt make much sense. The one that is still connected and working has no issues at all, they are standing in the same room.I thought adding It with an ethernet cable should work, but It doesnt.I have also read something about It must be downgraded to S1 since my app is S2. But I am not sure if these speakers came with S1 or S2 software/hardware. Regards

i have  sonos Play5 and the bridge no longer works so i am unable to connect to both my speakers.   Is there a replacement for the bridge that would allow me to use the app to play music again.

Hi anybody noticed sound on Amazon music not as good after latest update? Sounds less clear more bassy.Going to do another trueplay see if that helps.

I have previously subscribed to Sonos Radio HD through Apple.I purposely let that subscription expire, as I would prefer to subscribe direct through Sonos.  However, whn I log into Sonos on the web and go to Subscriptions, it says, “Looks like you already have an existing subscription to Radio HD through Apple. You can access that subscription through your Apple ID settings.”Is there any way for me to migrate over to subsribing from Sonos directly?

Ho appena acquistato un tv LG e non riesco ad abbinare i due Sonos Onecome posso fare ? Moderator Note: Translation by Google Translate- I just bought an LG TV and can't pair the two Sonos Ones.What can I do?

Hey, I’m desperate for help….This was my original set up and i had it named as “Family Room”Sonos Beam2 x Sonos One surround speakers. All worked perfectly. Yesterday I bought an Arc Ultra, a mini sub and a new tv. My plan was to move the beam and the existing tv to one of the bedrooms, name the room “Bedroom”. And then use the Arc Ultra, Mini Sub and Sonos One’s in the original space with the new tv and new Apple TV box and change it to “Living Room”. For the life of me I cannot get the existing Sonos Ones to connect to the Arc. The Arc and mini sub are working perfectly and they are in the “Living Room”. Additionally, I now have 2 “Family Rooms” and they are both showing in the app as “not connected” even though the beam that I put in the bedroom is working perfectly. I want to delete both “Family Room”, and then add “Bedroom”. My goal is to have two completely independent rooms (I bought a second Apple TV box). I’m having so much trouble navigating the app and getting it to where I

Wanted to see some Sonos Radio discussions, current, not 5 years old!Can we get a sort by date for the forum search? Maybe once we get that,  we can get an option for which country forums are searched?   

I want to make it sure.When I am listening to audio in 7.1ch surround, Sony 360 Reality Audio or Dolby Atmos with Head Tracking on, the sound behind me doesn’t come in front of me turning my head or whole body back.  Does it really call head tracking? It’s not I was expected and despaired for. I want to experience a surrounding audio system in my headsets like when I move my head, every settled sound of music fixed in the air. I think that’s special audio really is.

I have a Sonos Amp and an Audioflow switch with 6 speakers in the ceiling and 2 outside. I have them wired so that two of the ceiling speakers on their own switch are directly behind the sofa, I was hoping to use them with the TV. Unfortunately the wiring for all the speakers is nowhere near the TV so I cannot connect the HDMI. Is there any way to still connect those speakers to the TV?

Are the batterys replacable by user?

I have a pair of new Sonos Five speakers and a Sub Gen 2 on Sonos app. I was wondering if I can add another Sub to this mix and if yes which Gen? I have heard that Fives are not designed to link to more than one Sub, that privilege is reserved for home theatre setups.   

What is going on?! Over the last six months I’m having more and more issues. Not sure if it’s wi-fi issues, or Sonos issues. I have the original Play:1 speakers. My setup: paired speakers in the living room and family room, single speaker in bedroom 1, bathroom, and bedroom 2. Running S2. Problem started with difficulty connecting, so I bought a new router. Seemed to help. Now different speakers will drop randomly and intermittently throughout the day. One of a pair will drop; sometimes both. And lately, it will stop playing a song before it’s finished (listening to Amazon Music), and start playing a new song. So many problems, and I’ve reached the end of my knowledge to fix them I think. Help!

I can successfully connect Era100s separately in the Sonos App. Whenever I try to connect these Era 100s to my Beam Gen2 it will connect for few seconds then disconnect. 

So I checked the app and the speaker is listed. But the same is pretty much true for Alexa and Siri so why should I expect more from Sonos?

Hi There, I’m about to take on a small yoga studio (would fit 22 people max) and it has a relatively low roof. Wondering what the best set up would be, which model, how many speakers etc? Thanks in advance 

App is on 2 iPhones. After searching for an artist, song, album etc and playing, (SonosS1), track will start, play a few seconds and an error msg ‘Unable to play <Trackname>. Network connection speed insufficient to maintain playback buffer.’ Happens from either iPhone, resetting router doesn't help. Wi-fi is BT Halo 3 - 75MB download 10MB upload. Any hints appreciated.Jayne

If I buy a Bluetooth device like the Sonos roam. Can I then group it with all my Sonos speakers and use Bluetooth through the Roam itself to play on all the devices? Will that work?

Have a Playbar and 2x Play:1 set up for surround sound system. Has been working fine for years but about 2 months ago it stopped working. Everything is set up as it's own room but not connected to each other. When I try to  "set up surrounds" it says there is an update needed. I press update, then it scans for updates, then the update screen just dissappears. This is just keeps happening. Have been onto Sonos support chat and on phone and they haven't a clue how to fix it. Not great.

I’ve been trying to solve this problem for my in-laws for a few weeks, and I’m making no progress.They have a Sonos Beam connected to a TCL 735 (Google) TV via HDMI/eARC. My father-in-law has Oticon hearing aids, and there is an Optical cable running from the TV to an Oticon “Box”. The hearing aids connect to the Oticon Box via Bluetooth.I cannot get sound to output to BOTH the Beam and the Oticon box (the hearing aids are connected) so that they can watch TV at the same time. I bought an “HDMI eARC (CEC) audio extractor" but that’s not working either - sound DOES come out through the hearing aids, but nothing through the Beam soundbar. At a guess, Sonos is fussy/strict over the kind of signal it receives and doesn’t “trust” it from the audio extractor. The TV sound option is set to “ARC”. There is an Optical option too. Can anyone offer any advice on this topic? I realise the issue is equally a TCL and Oticon issue, but I can't believe that I am the only person who has tried to set th
