I have a superb LG CX 65inches TV that works with my Sonos beam. I would like to have better sounds but without throwing infinite amount of money.Is adding rear play 1 to my Beam would be overall better sounds investment than switching to Sonos ARC? Going the play 1 route would be also cheaper.Atmos content for me seems to be poor yet so it wouldn't be a good reason for me now.What do you think guys?

Hi! I have a problem, that I try to solve for some time, try to search for information on the Internet but can not ... I have a projector that I want to install in the bedroom, and wifi speakers that are already installed in the room, the speakers have no additional connection in the device itself. I want the projector (or rather the streamer connected to the projector) to transmit the sound to the wifi speakers. Can't find any device that would give me such an answer. The streamer itself can only broadcast on Bluetooth. And I only find devices that broadcast on Bluetooth, and the speakers do not support it as I said. Maybe an app that will actually be installed on the streamer? Something else? Hey thanks! The speakers is from Sonos company, only wifi available...the streamer is mi box s, there's HDMI and aux available, and the projector is a cheap one, Blitzwolf bw-vp6.I need product that connect through aux and transmitted to wifi. Some adapter... i think that it needs to connect to

Hi, just wanting to check as I’m considering a Beam which needs S2 . All my components are on the S1 app at present.I have only got a bridge that’s not compatible with S2 - The rest (connect,play5 2nd gen and play 1) are.The bridge is used solely to get the play 5 working in a remote room.I think I’m right in saying I could have the bridge on S1, and the rest on S2?My concern is that the Sonos mesh between the bridge and any other components won’t be affected by being on different apps? i.e. the play5 will still work by being close to the Bridge (which is hard wired via cat cabling to the router)Or should I change to a boost??ThanksJohn      

I have a playbar and sub in the living room that are hooked up to my TV, and neither of those have airplay. I later added 2 One-SL speakers as rear surrounds which are supposed to have airplay capability. However, when I try to airplay from Apple music (or any music app), I don’t see any of the Sonos speakers in the list (only my Apple TV). How do I fix this so I can AirPlay to the speakers without having to go through my Apple TV?Note that when I first set up the speakers and before I grouped them with the playbar and sub in the living room, I was able to AirPlay to them.Ideally I’d like to have the One SL speakers as surrounds when I’m watching the TV but airplay to the whole group via One SLs when I’m not.

Happens more frequently now but when I open S2 it gives me a found my network, upgrade to S2 or else the S1 speakers pop in. I either have to just exit out and back a bunch of times or else have to reset my phone or sometimes that doesn’t work and I have to find an S2 device and manually start it in hopees it show up. A little frustrating especially as it’s been getting progressively worse over the past few weeks. 

Hi, I am trying to understand the capabilities playing Spotify (free) on google hub and Arc.  Specifically I’d like to be able to request a station (or a music type) on the Hub and ask it to play on the Arc.  Or start it on the Hub and move it to the Arc.  It works sometimes and other times I get message from the Hub saying its not available for Sonos.  Cant figure out what should or should not work.  I have the same free spotify account linked to both devices as my default music players and same google assistant account, etc.  I am wondering if the content being pulled on the Hub is sometimes not available for the Arc for whatever reason even though they are both using the same Spotify account?   Or maybe there’s another reason? Thanks

Didn’t have any issues setting up my Arc with my older LG TV, but for some reason I’m having issues with my Beam Gen 2 and my 55 inch LG OLED CX TV. I have 2 issues and i think they are related.   When I turn off the TV, and then turn it back on it defaults back to internal speakers The volume/mute buttons don’t seem to work on the LG Magic remote.Now if I unplug my FIOS box which is connected to HDMI 1 (the Sonos is connected to HDMI 2 eARC).  then everything works fine.  Not sure why having the fios plugged in is breaking everything. Any ideas?

Hi,I hade tried everything for 1 week but i really can’t get it to work.Is Google Home app only working with speakers from Google?Sonos has been added in the app but i can’t get it to play music trough Google Home app, but the Sonos Tv-remote does work? (also when i’m not connected to my Wi-Fi I can’t reach the Sonos system but that’s maybe normal?)/M

Hello. I bought my Sonos system in 2015, and in 2018 they went with our household belongings into storage.  I have resurrected them and have gathered that I had to reset it.  Then it asked if I wanted to update to S2, which I did, but my play one wasn't compatible so I reset it again.  Then I didn’t get Spotify on it, so reset it again.  But this time I get the message at the top of the app “not connected to the internet” when it is.  I turned the router off and on.  Is it possible I have reset it too many times.  And why could I not see the “add services” button so I could get iHeart and Spotify onto it when I did have it connected.  It’s all very frustrating

I have 3 rooms in my house:1 Room with Sonos One2 Rooms with Amazon Echo(all have Alexa obviously)  What is the best way to have all 3 play the same music at the same time?  ThanksAsaf

Hi,I use the sleep option on my iMac Sonos app, is there a similar sleep timer option for Sonos for the iPad? regards….Simon

Hello I’ve been experiencing a problem with my Sonos Move for the last few days.It has been working flawlessly for a year. Now, playing radios stations with TuneIn is completely broken. Every couple minutes or so, the sound stops for 2-4 seconds, then resumes a few seconds to an anterior state, ie. before it was cut (meaning I hear the same sounds a second time). No matter what station I select, no matter what device I use (I have a phone and a tablet, both on Android), I have this problem with TuneIn. Everything is up to date, network is properly configured, it just started to behave like this a few days ago for no apparent reason.I don’t think it’s related to my network, as I have no problem listening to radio with other apps on my devices. It happens only with Sonos app, only with TuneIn. Any idea? 

Hi,  I’m unable to get surround sound working on my Nintendo Switch with my Beam gen 2 on an LG CX. Here are the configurations I’ve tried:Enabling e-arc and setting the switch tv audio settings to surround sound Disabling and reenabling e-arc Setting HDMI input source to passthrough Turning off both the tv and switch with switch set to surround sound Hoping someone has better luck out there than me and can help.

So my Sony XBR55 X900E will only send audio through the built in speakers. I have a HD Fury setup with AppleTV 4K, Nvidia Shield, & Firestick all work like they should. Is this proper or did I mess something up? 

My mini-controller sits atop all open windows on my Mac.  Is it possible to have the mini-controller more transparent so it doesn’t obscure other windows?  Or is it possible to have the mini-controller float or appear underneath other windows?

I’ve been running two ones and a move on S1. They are all supposedly S2 compatible, but when I went to switch, S2 says the Move is not compatible.  This clearly should not be the case.  How do I get the Move to work on S2?   I don’t mind removing it, factory resetting it, etc., but just don’t want to go down a road where I have an unusable speaker.  Thanks.  

Often there’s a loud pop / bang noise and then the Sonos Arc stops outputting sound.  I have to switch sources and back for it to work again.  Really troubling and I fear something is wrong with the hardware.  I bought this earlier this year.I notice it happens a lot when I start playing on my Xbox Series X.  Also got an Apple TV 4K and sometimes it’s happened there as well I think.It sounds very much like a gunshot - very loud.  I have it connected to my LG CX.  No other issues except for this really scary bang which sounds like it’s gonna blow my speakers up.  It’s been going randomly for a couple months now that I think of it.  

Hello all! I am currently having issues trying to use the Mac OS Sonos S1 controller app with my external HDD that is connected over a USB cord. Strangely, I get this error ever time I try to add a folder directory to my music library from the HDD.  I´ve also found that Sonos will pickup my iTunes library and will not denote any local files, such as on my desktop. Additionally, file type seems to be irrelevant, it refuses to accept mp3, FLAC, M4A, or WAV, unless of course they´re in iTunes. So, how would I go about solving this disaster?  Error Issue Photo Thank you!!!

The right speaker has become silent. I dont know why. I can controll both from the top, but no sound is coming out of it.What can I do?? 

I have a problem where spotify skips beginning of song or skips a song entirely. Sonos has a message that says it lost connection to spotify. I don’t think it’s a spotify problem as I use spotify on other platforms and never had any problems. The device is the Sonos Five. It is connected via ethernet cable. I have tried multiple cables and even directly into the modem. Diagnostic code: 1357360969

Hi I think Pandora is down on Sonos. At least for me.

Once I get my Beam Gen 2 setup, do I need to do anything to remove my original Beam from association with my account to free it up for another happy home?

How to replace a playbar with a beam  

I’ve had SO MANY ISSUES with the Sonos Roam! It wouldn’t connect to my WiFi network for the longest time until I connected it to a random friend’s network and then shut it down and then tried mine again. I finally connected SONOS to WiFi but it still barely connects to my router which has extremely high speeds (I even worked with the router company to sort it out). The real problem though is with Bluetooth because the music CONSTANTLY skips and sometimes even warps the sound (the key of the song will become distorted at random points). There is nothing wrong with my connection because my phone is literally right next to the speaker and I keep putting it different places but the issue keeps happening… So disappointed and every time I contact customer support they ask me redundant questions and have me go through the same processes that don’t resolve anything. Anyone else experiencing this? It’s so frustrating and makes me consider leaving the SONOS community altogether. Such a headache
