I am remodeling my basement it is 25” x 23”. I have LG 83”” TV. Sonos Arc2 Sonos wall speakers they will be mounted on both sides of TVSonos Amp2 Era 300sGen 2 and 3 SubsI would like to add 2 8”” ceiling speakers to create Atmos sound. Is this possible?

With Sonos running almost seamlessly I can’t figure out why there’s not an option for adding 5 or even 7 speakers wirelessly for having a TRUE experience with Dolby and Atmos etc etc.  I would love to se that you could add a soundbar as CENTER, and then,2 play 5 as front speakers, 2 era 100 as back speakers. Or what ever people prefer as front and back.  the soundbars does an okay job, but not nearly as much if it was a standalone center.  the cool thing is that they could FIX this with a software update.   or am I missing something - and is there an option without adding an amp and inactive speakers. 

Hi guys. How come when i play music straight from say, apple music it seems alot quieter than if i play through the sonos app/apple music. I always control my music through sonos app due to this. Also will there ever be an addition to the app to allow me to control music with the sonos ace, just as i do with the rest of my products. 

My system formerly consisted of one Sonos Connect wired to three AudioSource AMP 100 amplifiers. One was wired to one set of speakers and to were wired to two sets of speakers. I recently replaced my Connect with three Sonos ports, one for each of my AMP 100 amplifiers. The speakers are wired the same to the amps as they were while using the Connect. my issue is that I now have to run my amp volumes on all three amps at 85% to obtain the same volume out of my speakers while when the Connect was being used the volume on the amps only needed to be set at 50% to reach the desired volume level.Has anyone experienced lower volume from their Ports after “upgrading” from their Connects?ThanksJeffrey P

I am trying to use a Sonos Ray soundbar as the sound device on my personal computer. I have used both an internet cable to the computer as well as an optical cable. The Ray is shown as the main sound device & I can see the sound is playing but I cannot hear it. They are all on the same router.Whilst the Sonos Ray is recognised by my computer, my Sonos App on my mobile phone cannot find it.Can anyone give advice/help please?

How do I disable the tv speakers on my Bravia TV so that the default is my Sonos Beam and two speakers become the default. I can switch off the tv speakers but I have to do this each time I turn on the tv and I am looking for a solution to resolve this permanently without getting the echoey sound produced from tv speakers and Sonos speakers each time I turn on the tv. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

I just picked up the Sonos Ray on clearance on Best Buy and am aiming to use with the latest Apple TV (4K 128GB 3rd gen) and Samsung TV (65" Q70C QLED 4K UHD Smart Tizen). Sadly, I cannot set the Sonos Ray as the default Audio Output on Apple TV. Each time I power Apple TV on or even evening opening a new app (YouTube TV, Hulu, Netflix, etc), I need to manually select the Sonos Ray as the audio output. once it is manually selected, I am able to change volume and mute without issue using the Apple TV remote, so I do not believe this is a remote issue. Additionally, the Sonos Ray does show up in my Home app and I’m able to play music/audio from my iPhone without issue.Any advice/suggestion on how to avoid the need to manually set Sonos Ray as the audio output EVERY time on Apple TV?

Hi,Does anyone know a way to keep speakers grouped other than when one product is playing from a TV (HDMI eARC). It would be great to keep a few products in a room grouped for listening to music other than when they are set to automatically ungroup when the AMP is playing from the TV.Thanks,David

Ace is grayed out in app. Any suggestions?

Hi All, I know that ‘using Sonos for vinyl’ has been covered and I have read the posts, but I am still unsure about a few questions. Sorry.  My current active speakers (TUK Kanto) have died after less than 5 years ☹️) and I have no vinyl music.  I have three early Sonos One speakers that I use for my computer and in the living room so I wondered HOW I can ‘go Sonos’ for my record player?I understand that I will need a ‘phono preamp’ for the deck.  That’s easy to buy at JBHIFi or wherever. But then, will that alone allow me to play the record player through my existing first gen Sonos 1 speakers?  If ‘yes’, will the record player somehow stream to these speakers wirelessly with the pre-amp added?If not, do I need the phono preamp and something else?  I would consider two new Sonos speakers (maybe 5s or similar) IF they allowed me to play my vinyl through them.  Doing this wirelessly would be a big plus but if I had to I don’t mind using connector cables from deck/phone preamp to Sonos S

I have S2 Controller Version 16.1 build 78151030 on my iPad. When I use the app on my iPad, there appears a message that the iOS version on my iPad is “no longer supported”. However, it works perfectly. That’s good. On my Mac, I have S2 Controller Version: 16.6 build 83161210. When I attempt to use the app on my Mac, I does not work, but demands that I check for updates. I do not want to update on my Mac because of a long history of Sonos updates causing my system to fail and requiring laborious troubleshooting and repair.How can I get my Sonos S2 controller on my Mac to work again without risking the failure of my existing Sonos system?Thanks for helping if you can. 

I have a legacy Sonos S1 system with 5 Connect:90s, 2 Play:1s, a Play3, and a Sonos S1 Playbar.  (I bought the last at a clearance site.)  My original Sonos Bridge has gone out - power supply I’m sure.  Neither ethernet port lights up, and it’s not my Orbi router or the cable (both check out by connecting a computer).  The Playbar is in the same room as the bridge.  Can I get the entire S1 system working by connecting the Playbar directly?  I will experiment tomorrow when the person who sleeps in the room is awake.  I also have a Boost but I think I need it for coverage (it’s a 3-story house on a hill).  If I can’t use the Playbar, can I use one of the Play1s?

Does any one have a fix for not being able to sign in as system owner and customer support telling you that you don’t have the correct credentials to sign in?? I am baffled as to why this is happening and I have 2 different locations so the factory reset solution would be a nightmare resetting multiple devices and hoping it would all sync up again.  It’s also crazy that customer support acts like they have never heard of this problem and clearly there a many people with this problem.

When I connect my headphones via stereo jack to my 5 it doesn‘t switch and still plays.It already worked half a year ago ….

Since a recent update to Sonos Build: 84163110 (MacOS Sequoia, Macbook Pro M4 MAX), I am seeing a lot of performance issues, interruptions and all-out failure.   I generally am using the Spotify App, with my speaker group selected, which is configured from Sonos.In between these failures and jittery behavior (which includes app playing but NO sound), I am seeing callouts to api.branch.io -- some of them fail, this causes Sonos to freak out, lose my speaker configuration/group.  Not good.This application needs to be able to operate without all these external dependencies being “live” all the time.  I can observe this behavior live, when I manually cut off access to api.branch.io with filters and Sonos again freaks out.Is anyone else experiencing this?  I’m not sure this is the best software implementation with these dependencies.

Hi! I have two era 100 (a stereo pair) connected to a sub mini. It works great if I use AirPlay, but if I connect using Bluetooth, the sound only plays on the stereo pair. How Can I connect to all three of them with Bluetooth? Update: I have tried to unplug all of them, plug them back in, and also removing the sub an adding it to the stereo pair. Still the same issue Moderator edit: combined posts

Hi all wnen I use the Sonos app to play Apple Music the last played songs and albums etc are not showing up and syncing on the actual Apple Music app therefore not going to my replay for the month. I have listening history on for the music app. Is there anything else I need to do within the Sonos app side?

I sent my Playbar away to Poland 2 week ago and received notification that it was delivered on the 15th April from UPS, however, I have had 0 communication from Sonos to say that they have received the unit. I have also chased via email and have heard nothing back. From the start of the RMA process until now has been over 3 weeks. Initially I had to chase a few times to get the label to ship the Playbar too.  Why is this process so dragged out?  

Hello everybody,when I launch the app, select my speakers (2 Play5 Gen1 Stereo) and choose my TuneIn radio station and put volume to e.g. 5 as soon the music starts the volume goes up automatically to 25! Independent of last volume when turning off (at any other speaker of my system). When adding additional speakers it seams to refer to latest volume on that speaker.I read that there is no default volume in any settings. So how can I fix this anointing way to loud start up volume?Thanks from Munich 🤗

The sound keeps dropping out on my beam gen 2, it happens randomly 

Currently have play bar with sub and amp to in ceiling surrounds. TV is 10 year Samsung. Planning on upgrading to Sonos arc ultra and a newer tv. Question is what tv is more compatible sony kxr7590 or lg g4? Want best 77” in a fairly well lite room with sliding glass doors about 10 feet away on perpendicular wall. I know a lot of info but this is important to for viewing Sunday afternoon football. Of course we watch crime dramas and movies at night. And when she’s not home I love to crank up the volume for a good disaster flick!
