Installing a 16x12’ shingled roof pavilion about 6-8 feet away from pool. Trying to determine if a pair of Sonance outdoor or Move is the better option. I’m thinking about mounting them onto the 2 rear posts of the pavilion facing the pool, positioned up high on the 8’ posts They would end up about 18-20’ away from the pool. I already have 4 Polk Atrium 5s running thru a Connect that are approx 40 feet away on the opposite side of the pool and pointed toward the pool.If Sonance outdoor, I need an amp but those aren’t rated for outdoor use, right?  If Move, the charging base isn’t rated for outdoor use.Am I missing something or is there not a complete outdoor solution? 

Got a new Sonos Roam and added it successfully into my Sonos ecosystem however on the S2 app while I can select music to play on the roam (and it does) the app shows “no music selected” even though music is playing. This also means I can’t control playback. I can group the speak successfully and then control the music, it just doesn't work when it's just the roam.  Another minor bug is that under Settings, Sonos Roam, EQ, Loudeness isvalways shown as off even though it's enabled. Toggling the switch confirms this. 

There are several articles etc online about this but most seem out of date. Am I able to have the Sonos control show on my iPhone X Lock Screen? Do I have to somehow turn off airplay to do this? If so, why? Because that is very annoying. If I do, how do I do it?

Hi everyone, At home we have a system comprised of: 1 x Arc1 x Beam1 x Play:11 x Play:5 All have been working as intended previously, and even after we first setup Alexa the system continued to work fine both via voice commands and through the Sonos App for a while. Recently though, it seems that the Alexa app is somehow stopping the Sonos app from seeing our speakers, as we can continue to control them via voice commands but the Sonos app consistently gives us the message “Unable to connect to Sonos”. Sometimes turning our wifi router off and on works, sometimes just turning it off and on in our iPhone device settings seems to reset things, but only temporarily and we then have issues adding things to the queue via the Sonos app.  Things we’ve tried:Following the app troubleshooting process (turn off all speakers, then back on, turn off router, then back on, discover devices etc. - This has limited and very temporary success) Deleting and re-downloading the Sonos app Reconnecting the

Does the LG CX Series support al the features of Sonos ARC? I have not purchased this TV, but want to. However, I want to be able to utilize the Sonos ARC features.

Had my new Roam on a QI charging pad for twelve hours now - noticed orange light was flashing but it’s not even warm so not sure why. Switched it on and it’s still only on 53% charge??

Has any on got a direct email or contact for Sonos as support and customer service is shocking

Hi all, I’m looking to buy a record player and already have two Sonos One speakers that I’m using as a pair. I’m trying to figure out if I can connect the One speakers to the Amp wirelessly and use them as output for my record player. I also would like to upgrade in the near future with a Sonos Beam for a home theatre.  Would this setup work? That is, (2) Sonos One speakers + Beam + Amp + Record player? If not, what would you recommend?

Why does my Sonos app show that I have a subscription for Sonos Radio HD when I don't?When I click on the link, it opens this page:Can you please stop pushing your HD radio? I have not spent hundreds of pounds on your equipment so that I can listen to radio, HD or otherwise.  If I want your HD radio, I'll subscribe, but please remove this duff information about me having a subscription when I don't!   

I have a Sonos one and recently when I play BBC Sounds or Spotify on my iPhone 12 pro  (ios 14.4.2) and try to stream via airplay to the Sonos is get a message saying it can not connect. When I go into the Sonos app it’s says “unable to connect..)I’ve tried all the standard fixes … switching off and on. Switching the router off and on and resetting the Sonos. Any ideas?

We cannot get our sonos system working with our android phones. We have 2x sonos one sl speakers, and we were looking to expand, but we can not connect to our sonos system from our android phones. We daily reset our router, restore to factor settings on sonos speakers, but after the initial setup on connecting the speakers to our system, we loose connection, and the sonos app cannot find our system and speakers. We have tried everything from reinstalling sonos app, reset ting our router, factory settings on speakers, and yes the speakers and phones are on the same stable WiFi with maximum signal. We have No option for wired settings. This issue with No detection to sonos system from the app is extremly frustration. Anyone Who could help? Ty in advance This has lasted for two months now. 

I currently have 2 x Play 3’s (in different rooms) and looking to add a turntable to setup. I thought the only way this was possible was via the Sonos Port but having looked into this a solution i believe is getting a Five and connecting via line-in. I’m just weighing up my options now. I have a few questions/concerns and would appreciate any inputs from the community!  If I was to bring my 2 x Play 3’s together in the same room and pair as L & R - I understand i would need a Sonos Port to connect the turntable to this. Would this give me better sound/pack more of a punch than if i was just to replace with 1 x Five? It’s an average sized living room and currently the 1 x Play 3 in there is adequate for music but i really like the idea of L & R. Could I still get the same richness of sounds from the latest tech and single speaker of the Five?  My concern on pairing the 2 x Play 3’s is that these speakers are quite old. While they work perfectly fine and use the latest S2 operati

Hey guys, new sonos arc and sub owner here. Absolutely love the new setup. However my PS5 requires vastly different EQ settings than watching movies. I can’t seem to find any way to save EQ profiles. Anyone figure it out?

I currently have a Playbar and 2 Play Ones set up as a 3.0 tv system. While this is nice, i want more:) what do you think is more worthwhile, add a Sub (we live in an apt so a little worried about the bass) or upgrade to the Arc? If I go the upgrade to the Arc route do I need to move the Playbar to another room or can it still be integrated with the Arc and 2 play ones?

I installed a new Sonos Roam, selecting the "new system" option, since my other Sonos speakers are in a different location. My Sonos S2 app on my iPhone recognizes the Roam and I can connect it to the WLAN. At the end of the setup process, I get a message that the setup was successful and also a note that if the Roam doesn't show up immediately in "System", restart the Roam and it will appear in the "System" tab. However, restarting the Roam does nothing, it still does not appear in "System". System is grayed out in the S2 app and not clickable. I have already reset the Roam several times to factory default without any success. I always end up back in the same state.What can I do? 

It turns out that I cannot update anymore my library music index because the operative system (Android) on my phone is too old, though I did run an update not such a long time ago! This is very annoying and irritating indeed. Am I supposed to buy a new phone every time Sonos stops supporting a certain version of Android? Is this some kind of planned obsolescence in agreement with Apple, Samsung and co to force customers to buy a new phone? I’m wondering more and more. If Sonos folks want to buy me a new phone they are welcome! I just feel like selling all my Sonos stuff and going back to my old good CD and LP players.

Hello, I have a Portable Handheld Radio Receiver which has a frequency range 400-470 MHz. I was wondering if it is possible to transmit whatever is playing on the handheld receiver direct to my Sonos One speaker? If so, how?  Also, the channel that I listen to only transmits certain times of the day, is it possible to get it transmit automatically to the Sonos when there is a transmission? Thanks in advance.

Hi,is anyone else getting an access denied when trying to listen to any music application. At first it was only doing it to Sonos radio and now Apple Music and Pandora are giving me the same error. I verify verify the app is updated and so is my system.  Someone else suggested to reauthorize the music apps and it worked. 

Sonos beam and Sonos one not connecting on iPhone 12 but connected on my old IPhone 7. Keeps asking me to reboot my BT home hub which works for a few hours?  do I need to delete the app from iPhone 7 or is it a problem with BT router? 

The Beam google assistant worked fine for a year, but coincidentally around the time I’ve updated the iOS sonos app to v2 I couldn’t use the assistant anymore (I say hey google and get the response in the title of this post). I’ve managed to fix it twice by going through the google assistant and sonos app and reconnecting everything, but next day it comes back to this. Tried to uninstall the sonos app v2 and use the v1 again, but it can’t connect to it, probably because sonos v2 had installed a new firmware to the beam when I first installed it.  is there a permanent fix to this?

Hi all I have an existing Sonos system and the S2 app installed on my iPhone.  For various reasons, I have reset the app on my iPhone, deleted it, reinstalled it and tried to reconnect to my existing system. The whole process seems to have gone fine, and I now have my S2 app reconnected to the existing Sonos system.  The odd thing is that on completing the reconnection, I got the message, “This feature is not available in store mode”.  No further messages or issues.  Is this just a bug, or is there an underlying issue for me to look at?Thanks   

I am looking at upgrading one of my play 3’s to get 15% off a roam. I know I can continue to use the play 3 but will it still receive updates?
