Spaces & Setups

Hi there,I have 7 pre existing ceiling speakers spread out through my upstairs floor. 2 in a screened room. 2 in kitchen. 2 in living room. 1 in master bathroom. Each are has wall mounted volume control with all 7 speakers feeding to a receiver in the living room. I’m interested in connecting through Sonos but unsure what unit or units I would need to do this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

Hi everyone,  I am finishing up the last details to open a gym. I have seen similar topic but would still like your feedback. The gym comprises:- A small reception / coffee bar which is 14 m2- A weight lifting area which is 150 m2- A spinning area which is 35 m2- A multi funcional room which is 65 m2- A corridor leading to the changing room which is 25m2Both spinning an multi functional would have their own system as we need to equip the instructors with mics.However the weight lifting, reception and corridor should have the same content with different sound level. I hoped that the Sonos ERA 100 or 300 would create their own network to connect together and that would have been my first choice but it seems like they are not compatible with the Wired Sonos setup. What would you recommend in that case? Note, the gym is located in A small town in south America with unreliable internet… Best regards, Pierre 

I have recently moved to an samsung android device. On my apple device it was easy to delete songs in a playlist. How do you delete a song from a playlist on an android device?

HiSonos newbie here. I currently have a traditional 5.1 set up. Denon receiver, needs to be replaced running Andrew Jones Pioneer speakers, including towers in the front. Wife never liked the look of the towers.Moving into a new home, and to simplify some things, wiring the rears will be a pain because of the layout, I am looking at a Sonos bar to start, and add a sub and rears at a later time.The living room is about 19.5 feet by about 14.5 feet. The television will sit along one of the 14.5 foot walls, and seating will be at the other end of the room. The television is a Sony X80L 65”.My question is this, will the Beam Gen 2 work in this space. I am not worried about Atmos right now, and would like to add a sub and maybe some old Ones or 100’s in time. Or would a previous version bar work, I see some great deals on Facebook Marketplace.Mostly used for streaming content, shows, occasional movies. Thanks in advance.

Se podría conectar mi Sonos one a una android tv or escuchar la tv por el altavoz Sonos!?

Last year, my turned-off Apple TV worked fine for me to run automations and play music on my SONOS Arc. but for some time now it is no longer able to execute that way.

How do I get these to work? No matter what i do I can not get any luck. No luck with being a Sunday and customer service being closed

Planning a Sonos home theatre set-up (not music) and I’m considering two different solutions:4.1 SurroundSonos amp with Elac dbr62 stereo speakers (which I already own and use for music) Sonos Sub Mini Sonos One/Play:1 as rears7.1.4 Spatial audioSonos Arc Sonos Sub Mini Sonos Era 100 as rearsI’m looking to compare performance not cost as I can get both set-ups at similar prices. Specifically I’m interested about these tradeoffs:Centre channel: virtual vs real  Soundstage: narrow with smaller drivers vs wide with larger ones Obviously I’d rather have spatial audio capabilities but I wouldn’t compromise sound quality from the front channels for it.Can’t test both set-ups before committing so I’d like to hear if someone has experience with both set-ups or similar ones.Thanks!

Ok so my setup has several network SONOS AMPs and speakers throughout the house. i also have Samsung TVs I’d like to have the TV’s playing the videos Spotify delivers while audio is provided by the Amps. I’m I just too far ahead in terms of what’s possible?

I have dropped my Sonos ERA 300 to the floor and the back cover has fractured, I want to know two things, are there any tool or program that I can try to know if this hit cause problems of the sound? and do you know sopport service in latin america?

I’d like to get a speaker that I can use to play music and that also connects to our projector for movie night. It’s worth noting that the projector is the primary TV in the home. It’d be tricky to put a soundbar in the front of the room, as it wouldn’t be anywhere near the projector. However, we could trivially use a line-in to connect the projector to an Era 300 (or other speaker) on a nearby table. My thought is that the speaker will lend itself well enough for both TV/movies and music - we’d simply connect the line to watch a movie.Is this notion ill-conceived? I would also consider a Play5, though I suspect that the 300 is better suited for this dual purpose. I’m also unsure about how well this would work if we expanded down the line - for example if we paired two Era 300s and/or maybe a sub later, all using the line-in from one 300 as input. Seems like something that might introduce lag? At a minimum it’s not eArc, and I imagine that will introduce some loss.Worth noting that we

Per the Sonos app, I was informed of the Voice capability of the Sonos Roam but could not find instructions on how to implement it. Thoughts?

Hi guys, are you able to add the Sonos Arc and Sub Gen 3 speakers to an AV Receiver?I have an Onkyo TX-NR626 which seems to have a lot of functions. I am not looking to simply use the Sonos app via the amp, my objective is to use the Sonos Arc Soundbar as centre speaker and the Sub Gen 3 as a Subwoofer as surround speakers with the AV Onkyo amp instead of buying traditional Speakers.Thanks,Kens.

Hey folks, I’m currently planning out the setup for our new yoga/fitness studio and hope to get some feed back from you. Status QuoThe room is quite big, 10m x 10m, with 3,70m ceilings. Only one pillar in the middle. RequirementMost of the classes will be quite with ambient music only, but some of them will be HIIT-bodyweight workouts. Therefore it should be a louder to motivate them, so a little bit of power is needed.  ThoughtsI was thinking of putting Fives in every corner at almost max height, vertical, facing down. Even duh I’m using UniFi AP Pro in the main room, I’m thinking of going ethernet to each Five. The Sub can be placed in the center back or on the sides in the back. On the picture you can see the yogamats facing  QuestionsIs this even enough? Do I need more? Another Sub? Shall I put some Era100 in the middle of the room on the pillar facing outwards?  Do we need more Subs? Am I using the wrong products completly?  Floorplan Thank you very much in advance! 

“sonos controller installer failed to download. lost connection with server”I realize this has been an ongoing bug with the Sonos Controller S2 app for years, It started after the release of the S2 version. I’m just wondering if Sonos support will ever try to resolve the problem. The workaround continues to be to download the latest controller app, install it, then run the Update Now to push updates to the devices. This same problem occurs on any of the three PCs I run the controller from. 

We have six Sonos speakers on S2: 2 PlayBars (3 & 4 years old), 4 Play:1s (3-5 years old). I realize they were all bricked by Sonos, a fact that really peeves me off because now I’m stuck with an expensive speaker system that to my knowledge was never bricked before. I chose PlayBars just as S2 was being introduced because I was told by the salesperson that I could never run them in the same groupings as my older speakers, thus getting newer, lower-quality sound bars would make all of my Play:1s useless.Our smart home system is Apple HomeKit, using the latest AppleTV as our hub. I don’t care about creating automations in HomeKit with Sonos. Wired systems aren’t an option as we live in an antique home.While it’s impossible to add Airplay2 to my older speakers. can I somehow link my speakers to an inexpensive hub so that I can Airplay2 to all or some speakers and bypass this terribly outdated and awful app? I’d prefer not to buy a new Sonos speaker and split my system, an untenable o

I have Sonos everywhere in the house and one room has an old Bose lifestyle surround sound system with 5 speakers and sub. I have a Sonos port and if I turn the Bose on, change to the right input, I can play Sonos.  but it’s the only room in the house that doesn’t just turn on. I have to go into the room and turn on the Bose system first with the remote, wait for it to boot up, then switch the input.  it’s a hassle. Anyone know of a better way if I keep the Bose?

Hello guys,I would like to ask you I have a el. guitar and I wanna play backing track. So I need to put guitar tu input and play background music from mobile.Is this possible with sonos amp current gen.? Thank you for your helpJK

I have a problem with one of the Sonos One speakers, I press the touch button on the microphone but it doesn't turn on the light or work, I have reset it several times but it has stopped working, does anyone know how to fix it? Thank you

I want to search from my music library for all songs lets say from 1980s.I am sure you are all familiar with the below / attached screen shot.I am aiming to decide which album to play based on the year. So it would list something like 1988, 1989, 1990 etc.I would then like to be able to drill down on Year » Year date» Album Artist » Album or something similar to that just like you can currently drill down on Genre » Genre type » Album Artist » Album.Which would allow me to pick an artist/ album from the year I selected. Are there any options available other than restructuring my whole library structure to create sub folders based on year and then using the Folder drill down?If not, how can I direct this feature towards Sonos Dev team / Product Owner to consider for a future release?  

I am using Sonos One on a Mac. I make playlists using using Spotify, not Apple. There are two symbols on the Sonos playlist page. One is obviously shuffle; I think the other is repeat. I do not want to do either of these things. I just spent over three hours making a 54-song playlist, and I want it played in order, NOT shuffled.I chose “play, even though it was grayed out (because there was no other choice) instead of the shuffle symbol above my playlist. But when the playlist went into the left-hand column to play, it automatically rearranged all 54 songs. This happens to ALL of my playlists; I have no control over it. But this one I wanted in order. Now it’s all jumbled up.

I am new to forum. The basics about my system- I have two 100’s and two 1’s in room. All my music is in the format of mp3s on Amazon Music. First, I’ve followed manual to the letter about setup, and am wondering if there is anything about “four in one” that might be helpful. Second, and most importantly, I’m getting noticeable distortion when listening to some classical tracks- but only orchestral music and not solo piano or jazz and rock. I’ve had a friend listen and she hears it also, so it’s not just me. I’m wondering if the distortion has anything to do a frequency problem, given that orchestral (strings, basically) sounds probably differ from others that aren’t affected. Thanks for any suggestions.

Beam Gen 2 with LG C1 and Firestick 4k Max. Firestick is plugged into TV and the Beam Gen 2 is connected to the TV eArc port. Everything set to passthrough. I think all is set up correctly as some streams are fine. The problem I have is the Beam (according to the App) is detecting some streams as DD+ even though I’m pretty sure they are Atmos. Any suggestions?
