Hi,Before i take the plunge and buy an additional Sonos 5 to create a stereo pair, will this work if i only use one speaker with aux input?To elaberate a little, i’m currently coming out of a mixer with RCA to jack cable into aux input of a single Sonos 5, but want an addtional Sonos 5 to create a pair.I used to use a connect to two 1’s but the delay from mixer cue to actual speacker output was hiddious so switched to a 5 with aux input, which still slightly delays but tollerable. Just dont want to get into that situation again (if its even possible).Cheers guys 

I have 2 x ZP100’s. They have worked faultlessly for years - well for as long as I have had them.However I’ve noticed recently that when the morning alarm triggers (one is in the bedroom and has been our wake-up music for years) the ZP100 stop playing after a random, and short, period of time - about 10-15 minutes. They are actually set to play for 90 minutes.Anyone know what’s going on. 

Is it possible to have alarms play on pre-grouped rooms and not just “include in grouped rooms”? Throughout the day, I like to have alarms to play specific play lists in different parts of my home. This would be a very desirable feature.

I am an AV installer.  At a client’s house which is all S1 and which consists of five Connect Amps and one Playbar.  The fifth Connect Amp was just added to the previously existing four.  In order to get the system set up I had to reset all five units and the Playbar.  I then set it up using S1 and was able to get Tune-In Radio to play on all units as well as the turntable.  As a result of resetting everything, I had to add back in Spotify and Pandora for the client, which I did successfully.  The problem is when Spotify or Pandora are selected I cannot play music.  For Spotify, no matter what I select I get an error message “cannot add music to queue” and for Pandora I get a connection error message.  Prior to resetting the system and adding the fifth Connect Amp there was a Bridge installed.  As part of the work to add the fifth amp I ran a data cable to the location where the five amps are located and connected it directly to one of the amps and eliminated the Bridge.  Since all uni

SOLID RED light on my 2 Sonos CONNECT started at about the same time this month (OCT 2021), running on S2... anyone know what is this?

Hi all! I hope you can help me with the following super frustrating situation... Overall issue: I'm trying to set up a Sonos amp for an outdoor kitchen unsuccessfully - 2 Sonos AMPs have been "bricked" (gone irresponsive) attempting to go through the setup. I haven't been able to get any direction or resolution from Sonos support (who only attempted to diagnose / resurrect the faulty Sonos AMPs with no success). I'd appreciate any ideas / help... The setup: Sonos amp connected to:a pair of Bose 251 Environmental Outdoor Speakers Samsung - The Terrace Series 65" - via HDMI connected to the HDMI ARC port on the TV Detailed setup sequence: Hooked up the Amp to the speakers and HDMI cable (my electrician misplaced the banana connectors so he directly hooked the speaker cables into the audio ports)Connected it to power outletThe Sonos app identified it as new device and started the set up processupdated the software as part of the setup processthen asked if I wanted to set up as TV or stere

Hello,Can someone advise if the Sonos Amp will power the Marantz PM6005 Speakers sufficiently? I just want to check the Amp will work as intended with these speakers before I purchase it.Thanks Jonathan

After working fine for ages commands to Alexa for a Sonos Play:1 now just come back with “Sorry I’m having trouble, please try in a little while”Ive tried all normal fixes, remove/re-discover the Sonos device, disable/re-enable the Sonos skill, restarted the Sonos and even factory reset the Echo Show.

Has anyone successfully pair a Roam to a 2021 Samsung Frame TV.The Frame TV supports the use of Bluetooth speakers, but when I try and pair the Roam (using the same technique that successfully paired it to my laptop), it fails to show up in the list of pairable speakers.Curious to know if anyone has done this.

Does anyone have any good solutions for cleaning the grill of the arc from child induced peanut butter smeared into it?

I woke up this morning to an app update, which also updated the speakers.  The update shows 13.3.2 however only the Arc, Beam and Amp updated their version, the rest of my speakers stayed on 13.3.  Assuming this is an update to the HT setups, I am curious if any of you have noticed this update bringing more than bug fixes.

My Sonos play 1 is about a month out of warranty. There is no power now on the unit. The power cable seems ok as I have a spare and had no luck using that one either.Can anyone help?Thanks

I am having problems with apple airplay dropping on my new iPhone.   I have several sonos devices, about 14 speakers; they are all airplay compatible.  I also have a sonos boost.  I have a very large iTunes library and I primarily play music screaming over airplay from this library to the sonos speakers.   I also have a apple IPad and I do not see this problem when using this device.  I can play music from sonos apps stations without a problem on both devices. When I am starting music on my iPhone playing over airplay I select my speakers they select and play, they all play for a short time, then it starts dropping speakers, a few will continue to play.   I go to the airplay speaker selection  and they are no longer selected.  This also seem to be related to the number of speakers I select to play. I can select them again and they may start playing again or they may not.   As I said above, my ipad doesn’t have this problem and they are using the same OS version.Another problem I am see

I am subscribing to UTube Premium for some of the video features so want to also drop Amazon Music and use UTube Music rather than pay monthly for two similar services.Is there any way to migrate my albums and playlists from Amazon to UTube?If not, there should be. I ran into this same issue a long time ago when I moved from Google Play Music to Amazon Music.Perhaps editing some internal file on the PC or the Android or is all of this kept in the speakers themselves or on the Sonos site in some database? It would be nice to have a conversion tool that  would convert to the extent possible if not completely when possible. I use the S1 system.Thx

We have 8 Sonos speakers on our home system, plus a boost. Randomly, the music will stop playing through different speakers at different times, but continue through others.  Then it will randomly come back to all of them.  This happens fairly ofter. It does seem that it happens most often to the speaker that is closest to our router and boost. Tried most of the fixes I’ve read here, but feeling like the solution is over my head. Diagnostics # is 1367912203.  Just submitted it while it was happening.

Ran diagnostics. Confirmation 1582975684.Tried Ethernet but cuts out a lot. Have mesh Nest Wifi with gigabit service.When I unplugged and used thru wifi, doesn’t cut out as often but still does periodically. Nest wifi base station is close to Sonos products

We have a Sonos Playbar connected to an LG ThinQ Smart TV’s optical (toslink) output for sound. We also have a pair of Play:5 Gen 2s grouped with the Playbar.  If I mute the TV it turns off the sound coming from the Playbar but not the Play:5s grouped with them. Is there some kind of settings change so the Play:5s also become muted.  I noticed pressing mute on the TV remote shows the Playbar is muted in the Sonos App.

There seems to be a really old thread on this where Sonos stopped responding, so I thought I would follow up - any update on being able to play Apple Music via Google Assistant? This feature has been available for Google Assistant for a while, and I think Sonos may be the only speaker that doesn’t do this in the market. Any update?

What is the screen saver for Beam gen 2 as I have  the beam as screen saver instead of the normal black screen with white wriggly lines that I had for the Beam gen 1 and ARC on my tv?

I have two play 1s linked to a Beam. This is setup as a surround system.Both play 1s can be connected to Ethernet if needed. The Beam is connected to the TV by the HDMI to Optical cable/adapter.what I have been finding is the one of the play 1s the “right” one keeps clipping out when watching TV or listening to music. This happens if on WiFi or on Ethernet.  I’m starting to think the play 1 is faulty or failing. I have done a diagnostic report but not sure how to submit it to Sonos as the online chat is not available number is 1438370456Can anyone offer advice? 

I have a client with fairly large system spread out over 2 structures. There is a mixture of wired/wireless Sonos devices throughout both structures, all on the same network. I have a managed network and it all works perfectly. He is now adding a pavilion 400-500ft away and wants Sonos available there. I am beaming WiFi to the pavilion from the nearest structure. My question is, will a Sonos Five or Sonos Move connect to the network via WiFi and function properly within the app? It will not be able to communicate via Sonos Mesh with the other players/speakers as it will be too far away, and there will be no wired option available. I tried this in the past at a very large home and couldn’t get it to work and ending up wiring it there.thanks for reading

HiI see lots of older posts  and threads about Sonos and Mesh setup. Have they now all been resolved ? I want to buy a Linksys Velop 4 node system, and will use that as my only WiFi - (Replacing my 1 AP now, I don’t use the Router built in WiFi)  but I want to know if it will work out of the box? I don’t wnat to have to go messing with settings to get specific channels setup, or not to use the bridge were the WiFi system decides what band/channel to use. So I just want plug and play really. Has anyone any experence of what works for them? I have a TP-Link in AP mode today, but have had to turn off the Bridge as Sonos dissapears, and I don’t want to invest in Linksys unless I know it works?Or would I be Better off buying some AP’s and setting up a controler, and selecting the same 2.4Ghz channel (1,6,11 or whatever) on all teh AP’s and a seperate 5Ghz for my faster stuff?  What have others done here? Appricate all feedback - thanks

Surely the levelling of volume is achievable? Yes it would mean analysing the tracks and making calculations to play louder or quieter than the previous track(s) but this shouldn’t be asking too much given the tech in the Sonos gear/software/infrastructure?It’s my major gripe with the system in that if another system came out claiming to deliver on that one thing I’d consider swapping and selling all my 12 Sonos bits.Surely it’s on a roadmap somewhere?
