Hi,Client has 4 x B&O amplified active speakers in his set up. Front L/R and Rear L/R.He wants to add a Beam or ARC, but will the 2 x Ports FL/R and RL/R) if all WIRED by Ethernet cable through a gigabit switch connection run the front & rear speakers active speakers and work as 5.1 or full for music?If not, is the alternative to get him to throw away his several thousand euro B&O speakers and add Play 1’s? Cheers   

Hello,I’m actually using a Sonos Connect to have the sound of my other Sonos material (Sonos Amp and Play:1 1st gen so no Airplay 2) on my old Yamaha home theater amp.I can’t figure it out if I will still need the Connect if I upgrade my amp for a model with ethernet/wifi/DLNA. Could someone enlighten me on this point?Thank you

I have Sonos Amp (Gen 2, old shape) that I want to use to power 2x Bose FreeSpace 360P speakers. I already have a similar setup powering Bose FreeSpace 51, but I cannot get any more of those speakers where I am. Opening the box for the Bose FreeSpace 360P I was surprised by all sorts of wires in there. Can someone help with which wires to connect to what?  

I have recently had poor buffering problems mainly when using Sonos system with Amazon Music. My Wi fi is BT running at 50 MB so quite fast. I dont have problems with the radio throug Sonos system e.g Gold or Smooth. To solve this I have just bought a Sonos Boost. It is much better but intermittent buffering problems are still happening. Is there anything else I can do. I am not very technical. I am running S1 with 5 speakers all 1st Generation. 3 x Sonos 5 and 2 x Sonos 3 and a Sonos Amp. 

System: LG UHD display, Apple TV 4K (A12 Bionic version), Sonos ARC SL/Sub/Play1 home theaterProblem: volume control stopped working / no audio outputSeveral days ago I noticed an issue with my Sonos home theater - no sound output in Prime videos. Clicking the volume control on the aTV remote brought up a grey circle with a slash on the right edge of the screen. I was still able to get video out of locally served movies as well as the Hulu app. Later in the day, the Hulu sound quit, followed by Apple Trailers. Now I have no sound at all, even from the aTV click and window system sounds. I discovered that none of the apps on my devices could see the Sonos system (once the Sonos HT was installed I never again used the apps), so I did a WiFi reset as prescribed in the support docs. My apps could then see the system, but the audio was still gone. I reset the remote function and had the app relearn the aTV remote, still nothing but that grey circle with a slash on the right side of the scre

I am a contractor and I am unfamiliar with Sonos equipment. I have a client that recently moved and he has a sound bar and surround speakers that seems to have used cat five cable to make the connection to the rear speakers. Is there a solution available to eliminate the need for the cat five cable for the rear speakers? The model he has is called play bar

I can’t figure out the best solution for new pool area.  Speakers can be located under a hard roof pavilion so no exposure to sun/rain/snow but humidity can be significant in the summer. Pavilion has electric but is located about 100 feet from where I could place a Sonos Connect or Amp in my basement and wired to passive outdoor speakers.Is that too long of a run?Keep in mind I have existing passive outdoor speakers about 50 feet from other side of pool opposite pavilion. Those are on and below my deck with a short run (5-10 feet) just inside the foundation wall. Would the human ear notice a timing difference if playing music from both the pavilion (100 foot run) and deck (10 foot run)?

Good morning every one, I tried asking to the Sonos costumare care this information and they recommend me to post in the forum. Here I am! I’ll try to explain my doubt:I have a problem with my voice assistant’s volume. If I’m listening to the music and ask Alexa something , I cannot hear the answer because the volume is too low or the music exceeds it.Is it possible to increase the volume of the voice assistant? Not the speaker volume othervise the problem is simply displaced. I hope I was clear.Thank you in advance, Have a good day,

Is there a way to send the audio from my Android web browser to Sonos?  I am using "Sonos Play:1" and "Sonos One" speakers.I listen to former broadcasts on "catch-up" radio and many of these are only available on the radio station’s own web site. Sometimes these former broadcasts are available as podcasts but most are not.For example:   https://www.globalplayer.com/catchup/lbc/uk/46vyD81/  I seem to recall there was once an app that tried to play Andorid audio but is it still available? Is there another way to do this?

Hello, I´m having trouble with my network since I installed a sonos play 1 that my now ex-girlfriend gave me as a “present”. All my connected devices to my router are having some kind of issue… So, she  comes out of the bleu with the sonos play 1 and says she wants me to have this… She a couple of these players at home so I let her installe the thing… a couple of days later there are issues with the wireless adaptor in my laptop. It tunrs out is been switch off and replaced with a virtual adaptor. I have a little knowledge about some stuff but not enough to fix it. So I google to find things out and learn. Then I stumble on a site about dns rebinding and that sonos play 1 is compatible for this… My question now is : Can somebody please try I explain me in no technical terms but in plain and simple  Englisch, how to find out or check this device if it´s been prepared to rebind with another remote device ,server or something else. My data charts are hitting an all time high, blue tooth s

I have a quite old HD tv (Pioneer) that I love and still has lots of legs.  On Installation of the amp, we tried hooking up the tv to the in wall speakers from SONOS and the AMP as well.  What occurred was about a 2 second latency on the relationship between the visual words spoken and the sound occurring which was quite distracting.  The tech moved it to PDM on the settings which had only marginal if any effect. Is there any way to obtain added hardware to narrow/eliminate this issue?   The aesthetic of where the speakers had to be placed really necessitates removing the existing tv speakers (either side of the tv which is wall mounted also) to achieve a more pleasing wall.  

I have a Play 5 (gen 1) and just bought a Play 5 (gen 2) to be able to use new S2 app. With Play5 (gen1) I connected sound directly from computer 3.5 mm output via cable to Play5 (gen1) speaker and had no sound sync issues when watching e.g. Netflix/YouTube etc. Then I installed S2 and connected Play 5 (gen 2) and now I have sync issues, even with direct connection with 3.5 mm cable from Computer to Speaker. I set up S1 again, and unfortunately now also Play 5 (gen 1) has sound delay when playing video (Netflix/Youtube etc). Any ideas? I know the point of sonos is getting rid of cables….!

Does anybody know what the upfiring drivers in the Arc do, (if anything), with a stereo or 5.1 signal?

 I have an S1 system that I’d like to keep as S1 (x2 Play 1’s and a Connect) I now need a PlayBar and would prefer not to buy secondhand. If the refurbished PlayBar from Sonos ships with S2 then is it possible to revert to S1?  Or, does it in fact ship with S1??Thank you in advance!! Steve

Out of the blue my Sonos S1 controller has lost my music.Nothing changed, the computer hadn’t been changed in any way, no settings changed, no software installed, I simply chose a different album to play and it’s all gone.I tried adding the music folders again and still get the “computer cannot be found” error despite it being the computer that’s running the Sonos app!I’ve had a look on the forum and there’s lots about people making changes then losing their music but I haven’t found one like mine where nothing changed, it was running then it simply lost everything.I uninstalled and reinstalled the Sonos S1 app, rebooted the router and the Sonos Bridge, checked the firewall settings before I uninstalled it and it set the firewall settings again for the fresh install so I know that’s not the problem.Windows 10 hasn’t updated, so I can see no reason at all for this to have happened.I’d appreciate any help I can get with this before I chuck the lot on eBay and get blue tooth speakers inst

Hi all - I have a question regarding integrating my B&O system into my Sonos network.Currently I have a Sonos Playbar in my bedroom, and a Sonos Move in the Kitchen. I like being able to link them together to play music throughout my house. But in my living room, I have a B&O Beosound 9000 wired to B&O Beolab 8000 speakers. I’d love to be able to get these linked into the Sonos system somehow. I’ve been looking at Port and Amp and trying to figure out how that could work, but confused as to which product (if either) to buy, and how to connect them to the 8000/9000. My aim would be to have the B&O system function as if it was a Sonos product on my Sonos network - i.e. stream to it from my phone, link and de-link with the Move/Playbar, etc. Also, will the Move/Amp be able to auto power-on the B&O system and what adapters/cables do I need? Many thanks in advance!! 

I have a music library stored on my NAS with approximately 1500 albums (so it's not huge by most standards).Only a portion of it has been indexed correctly by the initial execution of the indexing via Sonos app. No matter how many times I re-run the process via the Apps on Windows PC, android phone & iphone, nothing changes once the fresh indexing process has finished.An example of how this is behaving is:I have a folder named A Perfect Circle in my shared Music folder. It has 4 sub-folders (1 for each album by that artist) 2 of the 4 albums have been indexed 1 of the 2 indexed albums only lists from track 3 onward and doesn't recognize or list tracks 1 or 2 in the sonos app on any platform. By comparison, I can browse to each of the folders and list all tracks and play them using other apps such as Roon, windows media player etc. without issue.Re-scanning my music library yields no changes to available albums / songs, though shows via the apps it is apparently working.What is goin

My set up is Play1, Play3 and Connect running on S1.Recently i was experiencing issues with Play 1 and Play3 dropping out.I thought that Connect might be the issue, so turned it off and tried to connect both Plays via Wifi direct to Router. What happened next was that my system somehow “split into two”. Under my login in app i can see Play3 but can’t see Play1 or can’t even add it in. If i log out of my account i can see Play1 but can’t see or add Play3.Is there a way how to reset the whole system and start over? Or any other suggestions?It is driving me crazy. 

Hi, for some reason when I use the Sonos S1 search function on any of my devices (2 iPads and 2 iPhones) it doesn’t find anything. 

I keep getting an error when trying to add my new Boost to my existing system. I tried adding it to the existing system both in wired and wireless mode and keep getting the error. I wonder if it’s something to do with our BT router which we’ve had issues with before adding items to the network.

Our Sonos system has completely stopped responding: the white light is on, however nothing happens when we press the Play button, even for 60s +, or when we run through the factory reset sequence… it just stays white …Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I’ve had my Move for about a month, its the 1st Sonos product I’ve owned, coming from the world of headphones and Hifi. I am confused by the lack of detail around the functionality of the Move. There does not seem to be a proper manual as such, makes it hard to understand how it works. I use the move mostly in 2 rooms. The second room does not have a charging loop and I’m not near the device when its in use. After playing music and stopping, after around 30 min, it goes into a stand-by stage. I’ve read a few other discussions on the topic, again seems odd we are asking each other how these things work and not referring to a manual that defines its functionality. I’ve been supplied a link to a document on the Sleep Mode -https://support.sonos.com/s/article/4828?language=en_US, 1st rep didn’t seem to know about it, second didn’t know about it until after factory reset, etc… I want to be able to resume playback after 30 min from the play button on top or the app. For now the play button d

Hisince today my google assistant couldn’t connect to the wifi. I tried to reboot my Sonos one and to reinstall the Google assistant but now I cannot even do that as Google assistant says it cannot find a device to pair with. Any insight?
