I have an outdoor tv that I would like to be able to play over my Sonos amps that have wired outdoor speakers connected.  However, I don't want to connect one of the SONOS indoor sound bars to be able to play my TV across all my outdoor speakers.  Has SONOS considered some sort of adapter that would connect to the tv audio outputs (but not necessarily a speaker) that would be visible in the app to group other speakers with?   Or a very small speaker that would connect to the tv that would be hidden behind a mounted tv? 

I was wondering if anyone had a solution for a scratched top of a Sonos Playbase other than just living with it? Whether it be a cover, a special solution or even reaching out to Sonos to see if they’d sell a replacement shell. I’m less disappointed than I would have been when I first got it, but I haven’t quite progressed to just letting it go. Thanks in advance to anyone that answers. 

Hi All,Since my last post I have added 2x Five’s. So, I have a Beam & Sub.2x Five’s at rear as surround (although in settings I have no way to control the “Surround audio” - I cant set the distance between myself and the fives.. I could when I had 2x One’s as rear surrounds)as the front stereo pair I have the 2x One’s.The problem is, when I want to watch TV I have to turn off the 2x One’s as they create an echo (These One’s were forced into a different room - TV Room 2.Music is fine with everything on.I would have thought this set up would be the perfect 5.1 ??I am probably doing something stupid as I’m tired :(

When will this be fixed??? It has been down for weeks. I opened a case and was assured Sonos was working on it and that it would be fixed soon. 

My daughter is away at college and would like to use a new Sonos Ray for her tv in her apartment. She has her own separate router set up but no ther Sonos devices. We have our own home Sonos network as well where she would potentially have it. So what’s the best way to go about doing that? Can you have 2 networks for one device and switch or would you have to in essence delete one network on the device and reset up each time?

Just purchased a 10.0 tablet anything I need to know before I switch app from my phone to my new tablet?

Good afternoon, I was using SONOS fine yesterdays and then today I am getting the message that sonos is unable to locate the server. I have contacted Apple (IMAC) and then have gone through all troubleshooting. This is a frequent problem and I am getting fed up with the inconsistency of use. 

Hi All,I have an LG Oled C7V (2017 year) and Sonos Playbar. Looking for upgrade to Sonos Arc, but have a question related to newly supported formats (Atmos, TrueHD etc). there is a note that TV should support eARC which is supported with HDMI 2.1. But according to various articles i have read, the HDMI 2.0b also supports Dolby Atmos. Questions - will i get all the Sonos features working with my TV?

I would like to add 2 rear speakers to my Sonos Arc, but I’m confused about which ones I need - is it the Sonos one, or Sonos one SL? I don’t understand the difference - thank you!

I have an Amp connected to speakers on a deck and today there was no sound coming from the speakers.  On the app everything looks like the Amp is connected as it’s indicating music is playing.  i checked the volume and to make sure it was not muted and it wasn’t.  I tested the speakers by connecting them  to another Sonos amp and the music was no playing.   I then tried to connect the Amp with the issue to another set of speakers and still no sound but looks like music was playing on the app.  Wire’s are connected via the provided screw clamps I removed those clamps wiped out the area and then connected the speaker wires to banana plugs and still no sound.      Has anyone else had a similar issue?  Amp was purchased in 2019.   

Hi Everyone! Been looking for months to find an answer and figured it’s time to ask the community. Here is my situation: I’ve got 2 older amps (connect:amp and a ZP100) that each run a pair of Klipsch 650-SM ROCK SPEAKERS (FYI- each rock speaker is true dual speakers). These run on the S1 app since the older amps don’t support S2. My entire house is S2 and I’ve come to a point that I either need to downgrade all my speakers in the house to S1 or figure out a way to bring my outdoor speakers into the S2 world. Would I be able to purchase 1 Port and use it for both older amps? While they’re currently set up in 2 outdoor zones, one zone would be fine. Or do I need to bite the bullet and purchase 2 new Sonos Amps? Any other ways to make it work without dropping $1k+? Thanks in advance! 

Hey guysI’ve recently bought a Nest Doorbell (battery) but for some reason, I don’t get the Doorbell to send me a notification on any of my Sonos devices.  Things I already tried:Re-linking the Google Assistant with Sonos (service) Re-linking Sonos speaker with Google Assistant (those are two different things in the apps) Factory reset my Sonos Beam (2)The Doorbell does give me a notification on my Google Home Mini in the bedroom but that’s not how I want my setup to be. I also had a chat with Google Support and they told me to ask Sonos because on their end, everything is working as it should, since I get notifications on my Google Home Mini. Pretty frustrating. And I did find another article on here but after trying all those solutions, still no result, which is why I’m writing this. 

I now have 4 speakers that are now eligible for upgrade.  Can the % available on each of the speakers be consolidated so for example if I have 3 speakers offering 15% each, does that mean I can get 45% off one speaker if I upgrade? I hope this makes sense. Cheers

My Sonos system (Sonos 1 and Sonos 2 (with pretty much useless Alexa built in)) is constantly going offline. It is really annoying. My internet is very fast and the computer that I am using is an i7. Any suggestions on how I can at least reduce the frequency of this happening? Thanks.

Hi, For the past few weeks by morning alarm on my SONOS ONE SL has not been playing.  It did not play again the other morning so I ran a diagnostic report: 1149023650 Please would someone mind helping me with this? Many thanks

I have set up two both the S1 (for my old Play 5) and S2 operating systems. But, occasionally when I open the S2 app I get a screen which tells me the system includes products that aren’t compatible with S2. If I go to “more options” and “about my system” it lists the Play 5 with the S2 OS. I cannot see it as a room anywhere else. How do I get it off the S2 app to stop this happening?

Hi, I have a system with 2 Moves, 2 Roams and 1 One.As long as the Moves are in the base, all is well but as soon as I take them out, they disappear from the available devices. Sometimes I have to do a reset and sometimes I can power off and on for them to re-appear. This wasn’t the case until maybe 1-2 months ago. All firmware is up to date.I mainly use Spotify and the speakers disappear both on the Sonos app as well as on Spotify if trying to connect from there.Really annoying. Any hints for a sustainable solution?

The Sonos Ray sounds perfect for my system. My question is this. I don’t use my TV remote but rather the Apple TV (4K 64 GB) Remote!  Is this going to work if the Sonos Ray is plugged into my TV an LG 27 UN850?

I have a backyard Sonos SL and a Garage Sonos one.  I use the Sonos app to play music from my synology NAS in my garage regularly.  I do not use DS Audio at all.  Yet somehow somewhat regularly, but always when I’m not home, my backyard Sonos starts randomly playing music from my Synology NAS.  It never happens on my Garage Sonos where I actually stream that music to. Support is no use as I’m not home at the time so can’t send a diagnostic report of any use to them.  I saw another post about DS Audio being the problem but since I don’t even have it on my phone or iPad that can’t be it.  Anyone else see this behavior and have any ideas?

I have a Beam that is connected to a Sony Bravia X900H TV. It runs on Android & it has the latest update installed. I purchased both the TV and Sonos Beam a little over a year ago. Right out of the box I installed everything & connected the Beam to TV HDMI eARC input. Everything worked great and TV & Beam synced perfectly & sound was great! Then, slightly less than a year after purchase the Beam stopped providing TV sound. The Beam still works & provide perfect sound as part of my Sonos multi-room wifi audio system. So I now the speaker is working. It just does not work with my TV anymore. I’ve tied everything. I unplugged both Beam & TV for 30 sec, disconnected all HDMI cables & reconnected everything. Does not work. I tried playing around w/various settings. Nothing. I bought a new HMDI cable, nothing. I bought an optical audio adapter & connected the Sonos to the TV optical audio input, nothing. At this point I am at a loss. I guess the only thing I h

Hi, updated to 14.2 today and suddenly noticed that songs with special characters in the filename or title (have not investigated in depth yet) won't be played from the local library.I remember this problem from 13.1 and it was fixed in 13.3.Anyone else experiencing this?Really frustrating this happening again. EDIT: Seems to work now after a couple hours. Did some rescans before, so not sure what changed things. Will observe.

I have a Sonos one, Sonos one SL and Gen 2 beam. Plus a few other Sonos products. Whenever I connect the Sonos one, it works for a few hours. Then. When I go back to play something, it's gone. I tried to set a stereo setup with sonos one SL and it still disappears. These are $300 speakers. Why does this keep happening? WiFi signal good. 1gb internet. Hard reset done 3 times. Moved closer to router. Reset router. I've done of all the "diy" stuff that I can think of and it is quite frustrating.

Hello, I’m looking to upgrade to the LG C2 and getting the Panasonic UB820K 4k player. I’m currently using a Samsung Q60A and my PS5 as a player. I have my Sonos Beam (Gen 1) connected to my TV through the HDMI ARC, and I got two Sonos One connected to the Beam. My question is can I just run the same HDMI to the TV, while plugging the Panasonic to the other HMDI*  on the LG C2 without any problems?*The LG C2 has an HDMI ARC/eARC not sure what the difference is. but also an optical cable. Back of the LG C2  The back of the Panasonic has a Audio Out and Video Out that’s why I’m confused on the setting this up. (I know the Beam Gen 1 cannot do Dolby Atmos, looking to upgrade to the ARC later down but I just want to have the best possible color accuracy with the player at the moment)

Couldn’t find the answer to this but was wondering if I could use the Sonos Arc with the Beam as the rear speaker for a home theater setup. Considering they can both do Atmos...was thinking it could be a nice setup. Thoughts?

Had to start a new topic because the “best answer” fails to address the question and the topic has been closed for further comment. (Side note: how does a “best answer” literally start with “I do not understand what you are saying”?) Anyway, I’m trying to set alarms to play music in two rooms at a specific, recurring time.1. When creating an alarm, the Rooms menu allows individual rooms to be selected, and there is also an option to “Include Grouped Rooms”.2. I can toggle “Include Grouped Rooms” but nothing new appears.3. I then go to system settings, where “Groups” is greyed out, and it says “This feature is available on systems with three or more rooms.”4. I have two speakers, which are in separate rooms, and which I commonly group and un-group, depending on who is in each room, so leaving them grouped at all times is not a viable solution, and adding a manual routine to my evening (remembering to open the Sonos app to group my speakers before bed) is an obnoxious and likely unsustai
