I have 20 ft ceilings in my bathroom - the bathroom is 10 x 14 it’s basically an open box, but I have a “shelf” about 10 feet up and goes around two thirds of the bathroom.  I have a mini sub and two Era 100 SL speakers in the bedroom right outside the bathroom.  I wanted advice on if I should get the Era 300 and put it on the “shelf” in the bathroom for a fuller sound?  I put one of the Era 100 speakers in the bathroom and it sounds hollow….  I guess I can put the two Era 100 SL’s in the bathroom….  But then I I’d have to get two more speakers for the bedroom….   I’m open for any advice.  

Why doesn’t my tv remote control all my devices?if I turn on (utilize) all my speakers and use my tv remote (Samsung), it only changes the hdmi wired Beam. The tv control will change volume up/down and mute.  The side speaker have to be adjusted through the Sonos app. 

Time for Sonos to upgrade their environment so their platform can be controlled by LLMs - need a full MCP server that can be called by LLM Agents

I am looking to purchase turnable bundle with era 100 can i group with a pair of roams to send sound to all three and have stereo separation on the roams?

A recent update completely broke it for me, i don’t do streaming, i buy the albums i want (this works best for me).  As of the recent update (i don’t know which update exactly as i hadn’t listened via sonos for a couple of months):I i select the Amazon service followed by library fllowed by Albums i get all the albums in a random order (possibly purchase order?) and no way to sort, this is next to useless when you have several hundred albums If I click on an album i expect to get the tracks on the album (always have up to now) but all i get is the option to play that whole album, no tracks are listed at all. Related to the above some (seemingly not all) albums will then shuffle other songs not in that album into the album (text states “Shuffled with similar songs. For on-demand playback visit https://amzn.to/gb_am_in_sonos”), the address just takes me to the amazon us homepage which is of no help all the sonos favourited items i had no longer work, they show in the sonos app but simply

I'm trying to add a shared music folder from my Windows 11 PC (hostname: DESKTOP-I92FCEI) as a Music Library source in the Sonos app, so I can play it through my Sonos Port. I consistently get an error stating the computer/path cannot be found, regardless of the exact path format used.What I've already tried, with no success:Verified the folder is properly shared on the network (share name "d", full path D:\Ma musique), with correct read permissions. Confirmed my computer's network profile is set to Private (not Public). Enabled Network Discovery and File/Printer Sharing under Advanced Sharing Settings. Checked Windows Firewall rules — allowed "Sonos Desktop Controller" and "Sonos Library Service" for both Private and Public profiles. Confirmed no third-party firewall is active (only Malwarebytes, which has no firewall component). Tried both the computer name path (\DESKTOP-I92FCEI\d\Ma musique) and the direct IP path (\192.168.2.16\d\Ma musique). Confirmed my Sonos Port (IP 192.168.2.

Hello, I currently have a Mac Mini M2 Pro with a couple of Sonos One connected wireless via AirPlay.The system sounds perfect when I listen to music, but when I play videos on the Mac the sound is not in sync, that’s a known issue.I was wondering if adding a Sonos Ray to the system would fix the problem. Since the Mac Mini has no optical output, I would use the HDMI output connected to an audio extractor, and then an optical cable from the extractor to the Ray.Would it work?And then, would it make sense to group the two Ones with the Ray to create a “surround” system? Though I would not place the Ones in the back, but it would keep them on the desk, where they are now, so I guess such a system would sound more like enhanced stereo than real surround, but that would be ok with me. I will mostly listen to music through that system, but I just can’t stand the delay I have now when playing movies.And one more question: if I connect the system through optical cable as described above, could

After the latest Sonos updates, I’ve been unable to select any of my imported playlists on my Sonos system import from my Mac.  I’ve installed all software updates, both OS and Sonos, on my Mac and all of my devices.  I can play Mac playlists on my Sonos that were selected before the updates, but I can’t select any new playlists for playback on my Sonos system (which makes it even stranger)….   The system will allow me to select songs, artists and albums, but not play lists.

Good day, I have noticed significant "sibilant" or "hissing” sounds on Beam Gen2 when listening to BBC Radio 4 (spoken word). Therefore, the speakers were returned.Which other Sonos products do not have a similar issue? Thanks!

Hi there,Just gave a friend of mine a brand new Sonos Move that I’ve had in its box for these last few years and as she has an Amazon Prime subscription I setup Amazon along with Absolute Radio and Global Player to get her started!Not content (see what I did there) with that she wanted to know if I could attach my own music library which consists of 12,500 songs ripped from my CD collection so first of all I thought no problem as her EE SH35A router has a USB port along with 4 RJ45 ports.So I plugged in a 64GB USB drive that is my library backup as proof of concept but when I go into her router admin pages I see no mention of USB or file sharing.A little bit of research seems to indicate the USB port on this particular router provided power only which seems very short-sighted to me as all of the routers I have used over the years that had a USB port could be used for file sharing.So Plan B is to attach a NAS of some sort but I would like to ask if anybody has any recommendations for a

Hi team,I have a Beam Gen 2 connected to my TV via eArc and two Era 300s connected wirelessly as surrounds. The only voice assistant I have enabled is Alexa. Over the last few days I am noticing a problem where every time I use Alexa the Sonos app will show that one of my Eras has disconnected. Originally I had Alexa enabled on my right surround, and the right surround would keep disconnecting. I deregistered Alexa from my Sonos group and added it back, this time on the Beam. Now when I use Alexa the left surround is disconnecting. I don't know that I'm hearing any actual audio loss, but the app says it's disconnected and neither of my surrounds light up green when muted like they normally do. Every time it happens I have to get up to unplug and replug the disconnected surround. Has anyone noticed anything similar? Any suggestions on what I can do? I just submitted a diagnostic through the app maybe 5 minutes after the most recent occurrence.

Bit of a weird one, setup is 8 Play:3, roam & one amp everything was fine, now when I play our playlists from SoundCloud all the play3 speakers are fine, but nothing comes from the amp… tried removing the amp and reading to system, removed and reauth SoundCloud more times than I can remember. Any ideas?

How do i add my Brennan music library so that i can see it in the Sonos app and select music to play

Hello Sonos Community,We are testing background listener stability and remote webhook payload handling when integrating external media stream endpoints into automated management systems.Technical Setup: Our integration architecture at Frontline Sales Consultancy (flsc.co.uk) triggers automated data updates and REST API syncs over HTTPS (TLS 1.3). The Issue We're Facing: Under heavy concurrent load spikes, background POST webhook listener sockets occasionally report HTTP 504 gateway timeout responses before acknowledging payload completion. Direct REST API requests to the same remote host resolve normally under 150ms thresholds. Are there recommended network socket keep-alive settings or queue worker retries to prevent connection drops during high-volume audio metadata syncs? Any advice on managing asynchronous background worker threads would be appreciated!Thanks!

HelloI’ve been using zone with four Era 100 in my sun room since last fall. No issue to report, it’s perfect to play ambiance music in a large area. But since the last app update, my zone disappear and all 4 speakers become separate.Am I the only one ?  Is it a known issue ? I’m using Alexa and

My system just picked up the Amazon service changes. However, the Desktop app has an empty “Collections” section at the root of the object tree. Mobile shows Library / Explore Podcasts / User Playlists which I assume is correct.

Sonos app seems to operates independently on my iPad and iPhone. Not long ago they operated as one device seemlessly!

I am having issues with my 4K UHD Blu-Rays playing full Dolby Atmos on my current setup. I play use PS5 that is connected to my Samsung S90F. I have Beam (Gen 2) and SYMFONISK rears that support Dolby Atmos (when streaming or playing games, I have no problem with Atmos.) When I start playing an 4k blu ray with an Atmos track (in this case, Dune: Part 2), my sonos app is saying that it is only receiving "multichannel pcm 5.1" when it should be receiving Dolby Atmos. I saw people suggested selecting "pass-through" on my Samsung TV but this did not help. Any suggestions on what might be going on?

After working great since purchase my Sonos Beam Gen 2 has started switching the TV input back to the Sonos HDMI 1 EARC. Within a couple of minutes of choosing an input for Amazon Firestick it switches back to Sonos. Any ideas on how to fix? I’ve tried unplugging the TV and Sonos. I also tried a new HDMI cable. Thanks 

I have a new (~3 weeks) Sonos Era 100 that has developed a digital ‘scratch’ sound when waking up the voice assistant. Whenever I say “Alexa…” I’ll get the chime and what sounds like a short scratch/static sound. The rest of audio playback is fine, music is unaffected, and I’ve not heard this same sound aside from using the wake word.Restarting the speaker didn’t do anything and I’m not sure if this is something I should initiate a return for, or if its a known issue with a fix.Ideas are welcome.

If your Roam 2 speaker has sat without power for some time, does it need to be plugged into a power source for a bit before you can even get the power or status light to come on?
