Hi,My first post…I’m thinking of installing my first Sonos components and would appreciate some advice from the group:I have a large open-plan living space (approx. 11M x3.5M) with anLG TV towards one end on the side wall. I’m think of adding a Beam (Gen2) soundbar to the TV (so pointing across the room) and then a ‘HiFi’ at the far end firing down the whole length of the 11M room.  The sound stage of the TV and HiFi would therefore be at right angles to each other and would not be operated at the same time.For the Hifi set up, I’m thinking of using a Sonus Amp connected to an existing pair of quality speakers and Sub.My primary use of this system would be using the Beam when watching TV and the Amp when listening to music. I will need the power of the AMP to fill the room.The main music sources will be Spotify, Internet Radio and occasionally a turntable or CD (I appreciate the AMP only has one pair of phono connectors to share between turntable and CD).In addition to the TV remote, I

Hi,On the Ikea Symfonisk speaker lamp the music stops frequently. Then after a few minutes it starts again. Tried to reset router and sonos. Tried toi change frequency. There is a boost in the house. The playbar, close to the speaker lamp is wired. I've started everything one by one up again and so on. Up till now I didn't find a solution. I use an Orbi router RBR50, firmware V2.7.3.22. The diagnostic information is send number 112754550. Any idea's?THX

I’m paying the money for the Sonos Radio HD and I’m very happy with many of the channels.  I’m surprised that there is a gap in the Metal/Hard Rock category.  There are several metal stations based on year groups, but where is the Hard Rock?  New Lords of Metal plays a lot of great new metal but no hard rock?  So, where is the new hard rock?  It’s not even in the Rock category either?  I hope the curating will improve as more subscribers join.  For example, the Blues Masters is great, but the music is on a loop playing the same selection of songs over and over.  Thanks!

Hello, I’m trying to connect my Sonos Move speaker to my Project turntable using project Box E BT preamp, my other speakers connect to it, but I can’t seem to be able to connect the Move Speaker. Wondering if someone could help me.

So I have the new sky glass, only problem this doesn't have a optical output. Is there anyway to convert HDMI to optical?

I see many posts from over a year go on how Youtube music (premium or otherwise) does not show our playlists.   WHAT is the status on this?  I just ported all my playlists from Spotify because its awful, only to learn about this issue.I am unable to see only 3 of my playlists.  Has there been a fix to this?

I know if I have an Arc and two ceiling speakers in a surround configuration on a Sonos Amp, I cannot also have a third party subwoofer connected to that Amp.  That said, is it possible to have a third party subwoofer on a Sonos Amp and third party surround speakers on a second Amp and then put that together with the Arc for a 5.1 system? 

Hello,When I’m using Sonos optical to hdmi converter on my Sonos Beam soundbar, there is a delay with my other speakers.This doesn’t happen if I’m using direct HDMI cable connection from my TV to the Beam, or when I’m streaming from the Sonos app, or over Airplay.My setup:Sonos Beam2x Ikea SymfoniskI’m using the converter to have another optical audio source as an input to the Sonos Beam.Could you please help me out?

Bonjour, j'ai un tourne disque de marque JVC qui doit être raccordé à un connecteur RCA Phono et en le raccordant à ma sonos five via un câble rca femelle / jack il n'y a presque pas de son. Même en réglant le paramètre "niveau de la source" sur 10. Avez-vous eu une solution ou avez-vous déjà rencontré le même problème que moi ? Faut-il que j'achète un pré ampli ?Cordialement

Hi guys, I would greatly appreciate your help on the question below: Premise, I'm not much of an expert on audio formats, and I probably understand the difference between multichannel PCM and Dolby Atmos. More precisely, I have an LG oled C9 that supports EARC to which I have connected my new sonos ARC; I also connected my blu ray player (sony x800) to a normal HDMI 2.1 input on the TV. Why when I launch a movie (Dune) that is supposed to have audio in Dolby Atmos, on the sonos app S2 comes out Dolby PCM multichannel 5.1? Why not dolby atmos? I know PCM is a lossless format, but my question is: does it already contain Atmos data?Thanks so much! 

I have Sonos speakers with Google Assistant enabled in all of my rooms. So far it worked as expected. My Sonos One and Arc speakers would only respond one at a time. So if I was standing between two rooms, even if two speakers reacted to the “Hey Google” keyword, the response would only come from the one I was standing closest to.Now I have added the Roam as my bathroom speaker. Annoyingly the Roam will always react to my commands. Even if I am standing closer to another speaker. This leads to an echo effect when the Roam plus another speaker are both responding.How can I disable the multi response and make only one speaker react to my voice commands?

Hi,I’ve had my beam and 2 SL ones for a few years now. As of tonight the sound gets choppy after a few seconds of audio of all kinds (streaming, local computer music, music cast to the TV directly).I’ve eliminated a computer problem (Smart Tv Netflix was choppy) and the sound works fine when sound comes out of anything but speakers (headphones).TV sounds works fine when the setup from Sonos is disconnected, and I’ve reset the system to no improvement.I usually use the whole setup wireless, so I tried with ethernet and the problem got worse, which I didn’t think was possible.I really hope it’s not a replace the beam situation, if any help can be provided I’d appreciate it. 

I have a whole surround sound set up, Sonos Arc the Sub gen 3 and two Sonos One SL but almost all the time, my rear Sonos One SL speakers flicker in and out of sound like there loosing signal or there's an interference I notice it even more so if I pass in front of the speakers or get close to them, my wifi is strong and my router is next to my TV I Xfinity Xfi gateway with 1,200 gig speed there highest speed I can get, so I'm curios what it could be?

I saw a couple closed topics on this, but the answers were inconsistent.  I’m planning on getting a pair of Fives to setup in stereo mode.  As I don’t want the controls to be on the side of the speaker when orienting them vertically, I’d like to orient them horizontally.  Given that with a single speaker, horizontal puts it in stereo mode and vertical in mono, and vertical seems to be the recommendation for a stereo pair, can I orient a pair horizontally and have them work properly in stereo mode?Also, when in stereo mode, does the volume control on one speaker control the volume for the pair or just that one speaker?

I cant enable the Alexa skill to access Spotify on my Beam, Help and advice needed. I have set it up correctly, but it keeps asking me to enable the skill on the alexa app. please can someone tell me what im doing wrong

Just a quick couple of questions. I’ve currently got 2 Play:1’s, Is it possible to pair them with the beam (gen 2) for surround sound?  Second question is about Airplay 2. Since the Play:1’s don’t have Airplay 2, if I got a Beam (gen 2) and set up the play:1’s, would anything i Airplay to the Beam get sent to the play:1’s too? Thanks

Could some from Sonos Support please tell what the solution was to the problem mentioned here? I have exactly the same problem and the only solution is to pull the plug on the Sonos 5 and restart it. There has to be a better way. 

I live in rented accomodation with housemates. I recently purchased a Sonos Roam and tried to set it up before realising that one of my housemates has their own system on the wifi already, which blocks me from setting up my own system. He is currently away so I can’t access his speaker.  I don’t want my housemate to have to share their account details with me for obvious reasons, so is there another solution here? How have other people living with housemates dealt with this?

Q1. Can you connect an apple tv via airplay directly to two Sonos 5s?Q2. If yes, will the volume control on the apple remote control the volume of the Sonos 5s?

Hi everyoneNew Sonos user here. I’ve set my Beam Gen 2 and pair of One SLs (living room) with Google Voice, and I’ve also linked a Google Home Mini (kitchen) to the Sonos in the hope that:I can use the mini in the kitchen to control music on the Sonos system in the living room; I can transfer whatever is playing in the living room to the kitchen and vice versa; and I can duplicate whatever is playing in the living room in the kitchen and vice versa.Please can somebody let me know if this is possible? The problem’s I’m having are:When I try and transfer or duplicate music (e.g. by saying “play in the living room as well” it says it doesn't recognise that command? If I ask the google home mini to play something it defaults to playing on the Sonos system - I would have thought I’d need to specify that I wanted it to play in the living room and it would default to the kitchen?Any input greatly appreciated!  Thanks

Play bar will not connect to S2, which I recently got in order to connect new Sonos speakers. Speakers work great on S2. The playbar was connected to S1 and worked fine. I did a reset with play bar connected to ethernet. Playbar has green blinking light but is not recognized by S2. Now I can’t connect to either S2 or S1 so the playbar is not working at all. Just trying the have the playbar on S2 along with the new speakers.

Hi, I am planning to buy a sonos 5 and a turntable to start listening to old LPs, I would also like to listen to old CD collections, the questions are:Can you recommend a CD player I should buy? Can I use the external port on the sonos 5 for a CD player. Is it possible to use a twin adapter so I can have both CD and Turntable connected to the single Sonos 5 external port?Thanksmccmyles

Please can you feature a  ‘disable the mic button’ on the Beam. It’s so annoying, I have 3 of these and the cleaner constantly turns the mics off.  

I accept it is not possible to stereo pair two Roams via Bluetooth. However, the Roam appears to handle Bluetooth and Wi-Fi simultaneously as I can receive a Bluetooth input from my Sony Bluetooth record deck and then group the roam with my other Sonos speakers via Wi-Fi.I would like to buy a second Roam and use two as a stereo pair with my Bluetooth deck. Can I do this? Will one of the Roams be able to simultaneously receive a Bluetooth input from the deck whilst working as a stereo pair with the second Roam via Wi-Fi?Logic says yes, but I’d rather not shell out another £179 if it doesn't work.
