Moderator Edit: This post was written/formatted by AITL;DR: Expose a local, opt-in microphone audio stream API so users can run voice assistants in any spoken language -- not just the handful Sonos and its partners support today.Submitted by: A Sonos ownerAffected products: Arc Ultra, Era 100/300, Beam (Gen 2), and all current mic-equipped playersCategory: Voice / PlatformSummarySonos players ship with excellent far-field microphone arrays, but voice control only works in a small set of supported languages, through first-party and partner assistants. Hundreds of millions of people who own (or would buy) Sonos cannot talk to it in their own language.We are asking Sonos to add a public, opt-in, locally-authenticated API that streams post-wake-word microphone audio to software on the user's own network. With access to that audio, the community and third parties can pair the mic with modern, open speech-to-text engines that already understand a hundred-plus languages and dialects -- and pl

Hi Sonos team,I’d love to see an option to quickly switch a Sonos home theater system between Home Theater Mode and a dedicated Stereo Music Mode.For example, my setup is:Arc Ultra + 2 Era 300s + SubFor movies, I want the system to work normally, with the Arc Ultra handling the front soundstage and the Era 300s acting as surrounds.However, when listening to music, I would love the option to press a “Stereo Music Mode” button in the Sonos app that temporarily changes the system to:Era 300 Left + Era 300 Right + SubThis would allow the Era 300s to operate as a true stereo pair for music rather than as surround speakers.Ideally, Sonos would save both configurations—including Trueplay/EQ settings—so switching could be instant:Home Theater ModeArc Ultra + Era 300 surrounds + SubStereo Music ModeEra 300 L/R stereo pair + SubWhen the TV turns on, Sonos could even automatically return to Home Theater Mode, and when music is selected, users could choose Stereo Music Mode.Currently, achieving th

The plex add on doesn’t really allow much apart from browsing artist and album.  I (well, chatgpt) have written a new music service that sits between plex and sonos.  Currently it does artist, album, genres, decades and years.  It also filters out live, compilation and remix albums.  100% albums are ones with top ratings and lost gems is unplayed top 75% albums.  It is quite cool even if i do say so myself.  Missing anything?   

SUGGESTION:I just found an inconsistency between the mobile app and the web app that possibly needs attention, to be aligned. The new iOS app is great in that if you tap the volume slider, you get a + and - to allow you to increase and decrease the volume. BUT if you click the volume slider on the web app, it immediately jumps to where you clicked! I just clicked the slider, expecting to see a + and - like i get on my phone, but instead instantly turned the speaker up from 2 to 51 (which can’t be good for the speaker), and gave myself and my family a fright until I could turn it down again…!If improvements are being implemented on the iOS app, can that intuitiveness be carried over to the web app for consistency and ease of UX?

is it possible to get ChatGPT on Sonos. Alexa has been horrible and answering questions. Any questions. Simple questions, Like what is today that they don’t have a response ChatGPT has a response for everything. Is that a possibility that I will be able to have that access to ChatGPT?

Hello,I am considering a system like the Arc Ultra + Sub + 2 Era 300s or 100s. However, there is not a convenient place for the rear speakers. Our ceilings are 12ft so I am not sure if the Atmos effect will work properly. The shelf behind the stairs sits right around 9ft above the floor with 3 feet to the ceiling. There is also the short wall immediately behind the couch.What would the recommended system for this living area be? 

 Hi everyone,I’m planning a whole-home audio system and I’m trying to work out whether Sonos can do exactly what I want before committing to the installation.My plan is to have six indoor Sonos Amps, each powering four in-ceiling speakers in a different room, plus a garden bar audio zone using a Sonos Port connected to a Denon AVR.I’ll have an Alexa Echo in each room for voice control. Ideally, I want to be able to say things like:“Alexa, shuffle my music inside the flat” — plays through all six indoor Sonos Amp zones. “Alexa, play my playlist throughout the entire flat” — plays through all six indoor zones plus the garden bar. “Alexa, play music in the bathroom” — plays through the bathroom’s ceiling speakers.The main thing I’m trying to achieve is switching between these groups entirely by voice, without needing to open the Sonos app every time.My questions are:Can Alexa target Sonos Amps as playback devices while the Echo devices act as the microphones for voice commands? Can the sa

Hey I have a play:3 that I really love and don’t want to upgrade. But I lack a bit of more bass so Iam looking to buy a sub. I want to buy the sub mini but i worry is they going to work together. Can someone tell if they work together or should I look for a older sub? 

When will Sonos allow 2 era 300 speakers to connect to a tv as a stereo pair via wi fi 

Over the last couple of weeks, my speakers have all stopped responding to Alexa commands.if I ask Alexa to play Capital radio, the response from Alexa is that she will now play the said station but not actually play it.If I ask Alexa to play “ Luke Combs on my Spotify” the response is that it will now play said requested song and nothing happens.Even asking to STOP playing the music results in it still playing……….utter sh#te……Anyone else having this issue? This issue has never never been a problem before. Has there been a recent system update?

First I'll say that this system was awesome when I first got it and everything worked great for the first few months (though I've always found the app to be very clunky and tough to use). Then everything started to crumble.The connectivity between it and spotify is really bad/ not working at all at the moment.It won't hold a connection with the arc ultra. Can't figure it out. The sub audio drops out constantly. Can't figure it out. Linking speakers to the arc only sometimes works and only some of the speakers.The move 2 went rogue for a few days a month ago and after resetting multiple times seems to be working for now.  I have tried factory resetting every device and rebooting my router as all the forums say to do (multiple times). It's still not working. All the devices I have issues with are really close to the router. I'll probably have to make a call during business hours to resolve this? I'm absolutely pissed. What a waste of my time and money. You would think at the premium pric

Good morning. I’d like to ask if you happen to be working on an outdoor model—similar to the Five—that simply needs to be plugged into a power outlet and can use the home Wi-Fi network (perhaps boosted by a mesh system). Thanks.

Is there a way to adjust the group delay on the Sonos Connect S1s? I have 2 Polk Soundbars and they echo because there's no delay option on either of them (dumb of Polk). 

Can the surround capable portable speakers be a stereo pair when they are connected as surrounds?  Then when they are moved will they reconnect as a stereo pair?
