Will the Roam support Apple Music lossless playback? Thanks.

Hi,I am in process of a remodel and going to be purchasing a whole home ceiling speaker system.  I will have four zones with 4 Sonos amps which is pretty self explanatory.  but my issue is in my living room I will have it set up as a 5.1 surround with an arc and a sub (all Sonos). So my understanding is if I do this then I can not independently of the tv stream music on those ceiling speakers through my phone. I have two questions about this:If I use to stream through the tv so I can get the ceiling speakers to work. Then can I turn off only the arc? Also can I get it to play the same music as the rest of the house? this is the best option. How can I have those ceiling speakers still play music independently even after being part of the surround set up? I don’t mind spending extra money but I need this to work. Can I buy a 2nd amp and have the same ceiling speakers be part of a surround and also attached to another amp simultaneously?

I love the Rain Rain app with its library of soothing sounds that I play from my Apple XS. How do I connect (wired or preferably wireless network that Playbar is connected to) from iPhone XS to Playbar? Airplay is integrated into Rain Rain. I have a Vizio smart TV as well.

Anyone else have a ‘wobbly’ Ethernet port? Tried connecting Ethernet yesterday and noticed that the port is incredibly loose. The port on the playbar was very solid and firm. This one looks very shoddy. Is this normal for the Arc?  I’m not convinced that it is even working (need to do some more tests to confirm it is getting an IP address - initially disabling the wifi on the Arc rendered it unmanageable. So I suspect that ethernet is not getting any connection to the network at all).   

Having had my Roam since the release date and no issues, I now find that it will not seem to connect to wifi. It does not show up on my Sonos app, it doesn’t appear when you add new product yet it works in Bluetooth mode.If tried unplugging, rebooting, but the only thing I can get is the blue light for Bluetooth play, which does work but I obvs want it connected with the rest of my speakers on wifi.

I recently purchased 5.1.2 Entertainment Set with Arc, Sub G3 & One SL to use in my theater room in my basement.  My intent was to pair it with my Yamaha RX-V685 receiver and Epson 4010 4K projector.  I also use a Roku Ultra 2020 to stream my video.After trying several different connections and configurations, I can’t get sound to play through my Sonos.  Have I made a very expensive mistake buying the Sonos? 

Hi all Looking for help on what product I need here. I have 4 Sonos Ones throughout the house and two beams spread across the kitchen/dining area and living room.My office is separate to the house in a room in the garden and I have my laptop connected to a set of Logitech Z623.Is there a way to connect the logitechs to the rooms i have set up in the house so that the same music can play in all three areas? If so, what device do i need to buy to make it happen? Thanks Patrick

Hi i currently have a sonos five and two sonos one SL'sconnected together playing in my dining room im thinking of adding another sonos five to that setup and stereo pair them just wondering will it make a big difference to what ive already got which is pretty awesome.

I recently purchased a Roam so I can play music without the Sonos app. I have an existing Play:1, which I added to the Roam’s system. Is there anyway for the Play:1 to also work when I am connected to the Roam via Bluetooth? The two speakers play fine together when I use the Sonos app over wifi. Based on this article, it seems like I am out of luck. But maybe I am wrong. https://support.sonos.com/s/article/1066?language=en_US

Will there ever be a smaller, more affordable sub? The price is the equivalent to 1000 usd😅

Can I create one playlist from 2 different streaming providers (ie. Amazon music & Spotify)?

Hi, I purchased a Sonos Move a few weeks ago. Currently, my Sonos system consists of: Play 5 (Gen1), One SL, One, Boost, Play:1. The move was working great until about a week ago. All of the sudden it just keeps dropping out of my controller App. This happens every morning when I wake up, it is gone and at least 1 or 2 times throughout the day it just stops playing and drops off. I have to hold the power button in on the unit to reset. Once it boots up, then it is shown on the network in the app. This is super annoying. I am not sure what happened to it as we didn’t change anything. How can we fix it? We are using the S1 controller app until we update the Play 5.

Just got two Sonos One YesterdaySet up was fast and easyHave them paired for stereoIs there a fast way to unpair and then repair or even turn off one of themHave speakers at both sides of my living roomWould be nice to have just one work at a time sometimesBut would want them as a stereo pair most of the time

I’ve been using Apple HomeKit Apple Home with Sonos for about 8 months. Home automation and controls worked great!  When I arrive home, turn on all lights and stat music everywhere.  When I want everything off it did it. Recently I’ve been unable to control Sonos in the Home app.  I just realized that when selecting the speaker it says controls are unavailable. I use an AppleTV as the home hub.  It would usually turn on (including the TV) to make these commands possible. now nothing.things I’ve triedlogging in and out of iCloudin and out of keychainremoved and added the speakerturned off 5G on my routerunplugged and plugged the speakerthis behavior is consistent with all Sonos speakers  

I had a major mishap in my apartment which required dismantling my Sonos system setup.Now I am trying to put it back - after a long time - and need your guidance. I am completely lost !!I have the following components :  1 Sonos bridge1 Sonos boost - wireless extender for Sonos1 Sonos Connect:Amp2 speakers Sonos play 32 in- ceiling speakers  

We have a bridge, a Sonos Play 5, 2 Sonos Play 3 and and a Play 1 My husband upgraded to S2 - not realising he should not and told me that 3 of the rooms had stopped working.I could see that 3 of the components had upgraded to S2 (Excluding Play 5 and Bridge)So I have reset the 3 back to factory settings and I can seem them on the wifi network However, despiite the fact that I can see Bridge and Play 5 from the Sonos controller  I cannot add back the 3 reset components Each time I try to do this I am told update needed, then I see update problem I was with support for 3 hours last night and no solution in sight any suggestions on what to do I have not changed my Reuter in any way - although I have restarted it and both the Bridge and Play 5 last night

I tried to move my Sonos1 about 15 feet into my garage. It lost connection, became unrecognizable. I had to add it back as a new device. I finally got it connected and recognized by my WiFi, my tablets and cell phones. I then re-added my favorite music apps and got it to recognize my remote iTunes library located on my laptopI am using the original S1 App - I have NOT upgraded to S2Two items remain:I rarely used it, but Radio TuneIn used to be a default part of my music options. It is no longer available. I can download the app and add it, but is there a way to add it without the App — as was the case before this afternoon’s kerfuffle?I am fairly certain that I lost the sound enhancement—recognition of the sound quality of the room the speaker is in. How can I ‘force’ a new sound check of the room? Thanks,Tracy  

Hi,i have an arc sound bar installed on my fireplace under the tv.  about ten feet back I have passive ceiling speakers wired to a new Amp (not connect amp) upstairs in a media closet. They sound fantastic but I would love a way to connect the Arc with these Passive Amp powered speakers. Right now I can only see an option to add Play 1s as surrounds on the arc.  any options here to link everything together?

Which Sonos speaker that has alexa built in? and is it available outside UK?

I have a roku remote that is not an IR remote control.  I paired it with my Sonos Beam when I first bought the Beam and used it for a couple of months.  One day, the remote no longer controlled the volume on my Beam and sonos system.  Can someone please tell me why this happened and what can be done to fix this problem so I can continue to use my Roku remote to control volume? Thank you,  

Hi Sonos Imvery satisfied with your product , I could be even more satisfied if you could add 977 hitz channel daytona to your channel , thank you

Just got my Roam a couple days ago and its pretty pretty frustrating. I’m dealing with two main issues.A next song will be playing, then it just blindly jumps to the next track 10-15 seconds in maybe. It happens enough that I notice it frequently. I had one specific instance yesterday where all the songs started fluctuating playback speeds from probably 100-120%. I “think” this was remediated by holding the power button in for 5 seconds and cycling it.The first one is really the one I care about. I’ve tried Spotify and YouTube Music and both seem to be doing the same thing on me. None of the FAQs seem relevant. My network is rock solid and I’ve never had issues with any other Sonos devices.Any thoughts?

Diagnostic #1912436882unplugged router and Sono play bar still gives error code that device is unable to play Spotify/Amazon music. Anything showing on diagnostics?

This is probably the weirdest issue out there on this community page. Long post.TL;DR: Need to know what firewall rule to edit for Sonos Library service to work. Am too scared to yeet my own connection.So, since about less than a week ago, I recently acquired (hint: sail the high seas) some Free Lossless Audio Codec files of the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019) OST. Of course, I was interested in hearing the differences between the 320kbps MP3 and the 44.1kHz 16-bit FLAC files I had on my hard disk drive.My laptop and all Sonos devices are connected via several Ethernet cables to the router via a 24-port network switch. It cannot be my router.On my laptop, I first used the Sonos Win controller. I received this error code in the Windows Sonos controller.“Saturday, May 15, 2021 - 1:44 PM Canberra, Melbourne, SydneyUnable to play 'Into the Furnace' - unable to connect to 192.168.0.54:10246.”That local IP address is my laptop (confirmed by accessing router’s device list).Alright, let’s

My Sony xh95 (x950h) and Beam are not connecting. I'm using the Beam's included hdmi cable into the tv's hdmi arc port. I've switched Bravia sync on, which I understand is Sony's term for CEC.The TV can see that something's in the port as it is shown as a connected input, but the Beam does not show up in the Bravia sync device list, no audio is outputted and the sonos app reports a CEC error. Spotify works fine on the Beam via the android app. Any help appreciated! Feel like I've tried everything.
