Spaces & Setups

Am I right I understanding that there is a long standing problem with LG TVs and the Playbar when it comes to lip sync?  The last time I checked on this there was no fix and LG were unlikely to do anything about it.  Does anyone had any recommendations on TVs that you are using that have good lip sync? 

At the lowest volume level, my pair of Sonos One SL’s are still too loud for late night listening for some types of music. 

Hello! I am looking for some help with a challenge I currently have.The end result I would like to achieve is having a record player that’s capable of being listened to through the house. We are an apple house so all components support AirPlay 2, presently.Currently the system consists of two independent Sonos Amp’s that drive a pair of in-ceiling speakers each. Additionally there is a Denon AVR-X4700H that drives the surround system.If I am understanding correctly the Sonos Port (which is OOO until late November) SHOULD be able to stream “wirelessly” to any Sonos targets which id assume includes the stand alones and amps. Can it stream many at once?More curiously can it both take advantage of streaming to sonos targets AND physically to the Denon via the audio out ports?Last.. am I over complicating things? Is there a vinyl player out there that would make this all work much better.

Hi everyone, I bought an Arc on Sonos.com and it “shipped” on 6/29 but since then FedEx has been stuck on Shipment Information Sent to FedEx. Contacted Sonos last week and was told to just wait. But was just wondering if anyone else had hit this in the past? 2 weeks seems like a really long time for something that is ‘in stock’ 

Hi, I am purchasing a new LG G1 and have a setup that connects in ceiling speakers to a G1 connect:amp. From my research is it correct that there is now way of passing the HDMI signal from the TV to the connect:amp. Is there any solution using the G1 device or is the only way to connect through a new AMP and HDMI connection?

Are these speakers powerful? For 2 for a 1000 bucks they better be. My indoor system is soundbar sub 2 3 s and 8 play 1 s

HiI have a Sonos “Playbar” & “Sub (Gen 2)” bought at end of 2018I have them connected to my TV as a home theatre system.(Also have the New 2021 Apple TV 4K)I find the volume (tried and tested all settings) to be not loud enough for me to enjoy the action flicks.I was thinking of adding 2 x Sonos 5 speakers (whichGen can I add)to the home theatre setup. Is that possible ?Also what other speaker options do I have ?Thanks  

I am trying to play songs on my phone to my Sonos and the Sonos app on my iPhone does not see the Sonos speaker phone connected via ethernet, however it works over Wi-Fi. All my other devices connect just fine via ethernet. However for some reason Sonos has blocked ethernet functionality via the S2 app. I do not want to use the soeaker as a bridge. I have a fast ethernet connection and I don’t want it to be on Wi-Fi.Please update your app to use ethernet as a priority instead of wifi.

The app’s UX is soooo flipping badly designed that deleting a room is so unintuitive that an inter-planetary search needs to be done to find out how to do this simple task.Then all the self righteous fanboys (schmucks) jump in defending why it should be so crap and that we should all appreciate it’s un-intuitivity - Well 418,000 search results don’t agree with you.So after the question was posted back in 2018 and still remains - How the flipping hell do you delete a room. AND why has it taken over 3 years to still be so sh1t?

Hi everyone, hope you’re doing great!Does anybody know what’s going on with the availability of Port - at least on the European website?Production problems? Are we expecting a replacement?Thanks in advance guys!

Hello, just after opinions on Amazon Music Prime?.I'm looking at getting the Amazon Prime account with Music Prime.How well does that work with Sonos and can you select individual songs or is it just playlists?.I'm aware they do Music Ultimate but I'm only interested in how the Prime works with Sonos.Any comments appreciated!.Cheers, Keith.

I’d like to request the ability in the app to turn off the surrounds completely when listening to music. Currently the lowest you go can is Ambient/zero, which still allows some sound to be audible from the surrounds. I’m sure there are users out there who would enjoy the reverse as well, where you can keep the surrounds on for music, but mute completely for TV/Movies. My setup includes an Amp, 2nd gen sub, and Ikea Symfonisks for the rears.

I’m thinking of buying a Beam to use in my home office. I have the following requirements:Able to take sound from Macbook, without lag (used for Teams calls etc) Able to take sound from gaming pc Easy to switch between sourcesA few questions:Has anyone got a similar setup? If so, how do you find it? Does the Beam cope will with being sat <1m away? I was a bit concerned at the soundstage not being ideal.I was on the verge of buying some Audioengine a2 speakers but would rather a Sonos product to integrate with the rest of the kit at home. 

I would like the sub level to be discrete for music/tv - as per the surrounds when grouped with an Arc. Being able to adjust the surrounds (in my case 2x play5 g2) is great, but the sub is stuck at a single level - I have to set to -4 at least on most good films/shows but then move back to 0 for music

It’s a good app but running on macos it starts out at 100mbs which is fine but keeps growing until it’s using 1GB of memory. (on the latest sonos desktop app and version of MacOs).  Needs fixing

I have always been using the Sonos App, with the Deezer music service connected. This works, but the functionality available is never as good as the Deezer app itself. The Deezer app couldn’t play on the Sonos speakers though, so I never used it.I just discovered that Deezer has (finally) allowed us to connect to Sonos from the Deezer App. Select the “Audio Output” with Airplay. I now see my more recent Beam and from there can group some of my older speakers. This is great, as I now can use all of the functionality in the Deezer App, not the limited set from the Sonos App/Deezer plugin.The big surprise though is this sounds better. I’m not sure if I’m imagining it or not, but there seems to be a marked improvement in sound. The songs I’m playing now are all marked “HQ”, but AFAIK I was streaming high quality audio using the previous Sonos App with Deezer configuration.Is it possible I really am getting better sound with this configuration?

I am looking for best wireless speakers. A lot of document recommended KEF lsx , klipsch fives and naim muso qb... Why should I buy sonos five?

I have the 5 Gen 1 speaker.  The bridge stopped working.  Should I replace with boost or upgrade to the newest Sonos system?  If I don’t get the boost I know I can directly plug my router into the speaker but I won’t be able to move the speaker around the house.  Can I bypass the router completely by using my phone’s network to access the internet?  Thank you.  

So it’s been months since S2. Before the update, S1 was already able to play back flac 24/48. The promise was of more HiRes audio to come. I sold my gen1 connect in anticipation, bought a Port. And waited. I can still play the only same files as before, I’m a couple hundred pounds down, and feeling a little duped to be honest. Just curious whether there are others feeling the same....

I just recently bought the beam for my small apartment and I’m looking to expand to the 5.1 surround setup. Should I get the Play:1s or Ones for my rears first or the sub first? I want to gradually get to the 5.1 because of the cost.

Hello all, I have been mostly a lurker here and really appreciate how much info everyone has shared. This morning I solved a pesky problem and wanted to share.I have several Sonos around the house (using wired connection/SonosNet) but this specific problem relates to my upstairs room where I have an old Yamaha receiver, Sony CD player and Audio Technica turntable wired to a sub and non-powered speakers. The receiver is hooked up to a Sonos Connect. In the room are two G1 Play:5s. All this played together well for a couple of years, with no lags when playing LPs or CDs. That started about a month ago. Boo! I went through the forums and tried adjusting compression, selecting AutoPlay, changing channels, etc. without success. I thought the lag would just be a fact of life, I would just have to mute either the speakers or 5s when playing discs. Then over the weekend I wanted to play a CD with one of the 5s outside. It just kept dropping out and was driving me nuts (y'all know how it is). U

Still testing. 

Please, please SONOS let us be able to save a couple of sound profiles in the APP!I switch between Music, TV and Movies with my Beam and x2 Ones, and one EQ/SOund setting for all doesn’t work.Movies over Netflix are extremely Bass heavy and surrounds overpower the BEAM.Music is perfect& TV needs more Treble.  Please allow me to save my desired Sound settings under 1 button in the APP, so I don’t have to faff about depending on what I am listening too. Thank You.P.S Can you release this update asap :-) 

Hi all,I have a Sonos ARC, Sub(GEN 3), and One SLs setup for my living. When I added my One SLs as surrounds this week, I noticed that the two upfiring drivers from the ARC were moved to the One SLs when testing with Dolby Atmos 5.1.2. file (so no sounds from upfiring speakers). Besides, I had also tested with some Atmos movies from Netflix and Disney+ and confirmed the same. Moreover, I can't hear any difference by adjusting the height level while playing the Dolby Atmos test file.  If you have a similar setup as mine, do you experience the same or it is just me? P.S. My Samsung TV has no Dolby Atmos support (ARC HDMI port only) but I am able to stream Dolby Atmos from Shield TV cuz SONOS apps shows (DD+) Dolby Atmos on About My System.

I have a semi permanent projector installation with Apple TV as my only source of video. I have an existing Sonos move for the garden that I move into place near the projector screen when needed and connect through airplay which is ok.  im now in a position where I want to either add another sonos move for a stereo pair or I install a sonos arc (have power above the projector screen but will also be connected through airplay). I’m aware either isn’t going to give me the best “cinema experience” but at best it’s for sports events, the occasional event or my daughter having a film night with friends.  im not sure which one to go for. The arc could be used on another tv if the projector is made redundant, where the additional move can be taken in the garden as a stereo pair.what is everyone’s thoughts?
