Spaces & Setups

I have a Sonos Beam with [2] Play:1’s connected to a Toshiba Fire TV, with the Beam connected through the HDMI/ARC input.  Any time the TV is turned off/ it does not start up with the Beam as the audio output - it always defaults to the TV’s internal speakers.  The CEC is turned on, PCM is turned on.  No other HDMI inputs.  DO I need to unplug everything any time I want the Beam to be the audio output???  All firmware is updated for TV and Beam..  Autoplay is on and obviously not working.  

I want to update me system to s2 but the amps seem to be continuously back ordered. Wondering if it would be possible to add a Sonos port to each of my zp120s? Not ideal but they seem to be available and I would save $2k.

Hi,I really miss the function to set pre-defined volume levels for different groups of speakers.for instance I have a beam, a five and a roam all grouped together in my living room. I use them separately (like beam for tv and roam on the go) but playing music in my living room I want to use them together in a set volume and not have to manually adjust themthis topic seems to have been around in different threads for years without any action taken.is there any plans to implement such a solution to the system? It seems like a fairly easy SW adaption.

Bonjour,je n’ai pas exactement le même problème que tout le monde avec ma TV Samsung, mais je ne peux plus rien mettre en groupe, en gros, je ne peux pas mettre d’enceinte qui diffuse le son de ma TV (en HDMI Arc ou même en optique) car le son saccade, soit sur l’enceinte annexe, et parfois même sur les 2 enceintes dès qu’elles sont couplées.A noter qu’en diffusion normal de musique je n’ai pas du tout ce soucis :) J’ai cru voir dans un forum qu’il y avait une bêta qui corrigerait peut être ce problème ? NB : le couplage se fait avec une Arc, une Play:1 et une Play:3J’ai un Sonos Boost juste à côté de ces enceintes.

Last year my Sonos Play: 3 wiped all my self created playlists containing approximately 2000 songs. I hadn’t changed anything, done any updates or changed music streaming services. Customer support wasn’t any help so I mourned the loss of all my favourite music and decided to start again.  Now, I can’t even CREATE a playlist to add music to. (I can add pre-made playlists to my Sonos library) but when I try to create a new playlist manually I get a system message which says ‘Unable to create playlist. Please try again’ Can someone shed some light on this before I throw it out of the window and invest in another brand! 

I absolutely love my current Beam + 2 Play-1 surround setup, and have gotten proficient with the available EQ, TruePlay, Speech Enhancement options. My only issue has been when watching live television musical performances where the singer(s)' vocals are far less clear and muddled with higher musical instrument and crowd cheering sounds. I recall during the Grammys and the lile tinkering with the TV EQ bass/treble volume levels on-the-fly and the speech enhancement option but this approach is very inconvenient and wasn't ideal. It kind of ruined an otherwise pleasant surround sound TV experience. Am I doing something wrong? Could this be a new feature for live tv musical performance vocal enhancement?I also have two One SLs in other rooms. Should I switch out the Play-1s for the SLs?

Few days ago I got my own Sonos one …..but I cannot get its guide with it ….is there anyone who give me the guides ….that how to connect them with the other devices…..

I have created a new applet in IFTTT. In short, it is triggered by a webhook and then it plays a favourite track on my Sonos system. It works great as long as I choose 'include all rooms' and my favorite starts playing. But when I choose 'this room only' nothing happens.  I would like to play the song on an Ikea Symfonisk, but the result is same when I try on my Sonos One or my beam  

I have a TCL TV with roku built in and I used it with my Sonos beam with two One SL speakers as a 5.0 set-up. I connect the TV to beam through HDMI-ARC. I realize I can only receive surrounding TV audio when the output is dolby digital (e.g., the Dolby roku app), but not dolby digital plus (e.g., all other apps including netflix, hulu, disneyplus, etc.). How should I correctly set up my speakers or TV?

Afternoon all. Have a reasonable size Sonos system built over time covering inside & garden on S2 now. All working a treat. Over time I’ve acquired more of these Philips Hue lights than I realised and they are rather good on the whole. I have about 15 of them in the garden I think.I’ve a need (later year - birthday event) to get the two working together.I have the Philips Hue Entertainment App installed on Win 10 PC and it talks to all the lights very happily and I can create multiple entertainment zones. But I do not know how to use Sonos as the source to get the Hue lights to do their thing i.e flash and change colour in time to the music. Probably sounds naff but looking to play the opening quiet 3 mins of The Prague Philharmonics version of Blue Danube outside with a gentle light performance before the remaining 7 mins to a professional firework display. Hey you not 60 every day and I met her in Vienna during this performance :-)I guess I could buy and configure a Port and use

Pre-ordered on March 9th - the very second you could do so.  My Roam has been in “preparing to ship” status since last Friday (April 16th).  Unless it comes tomorrow -- which seems unlikely now, barring a shipped email in the next couple of hours, I’ll be a little disappointed in Sonos.  (note that I'm super happy with my Sonos system -- 4 Sonos Ones and a Port thus far).But based on this experience, what was the point of pre-ordering?  I can literally do curbside pickup tomorrow at a nearby Best Buy and get a Roam tomorrow at 10 AM.   I thought pre-ordering meant you got it ON or BEFORE the release date (not after)?  Technically the release date is in about 4 hours here.Current status, just checked -- again: Placed on March 09, 2021Order SummaryPurchase Subtotal$169.00Discount total$0.00Est.

My favorite feature of Spotify is that it autoplays a radio station after I finish listening to an album. Despite having autoplay enabled on Spotify, when playing to Sonos through Spotify Connect the autoplay just doesn’t work; the music stops after the album ends.Spotify says this is a Sonos problem, seems like Sonos says this is a Spotify problem. Any ideas how to get this bug worked out?

How does the Roam compare with the Tap?

As mentioned in the title, when Sonos is playing a radio station (TuneIn) my application receives no imageUrl in the metadataStatus from the Sonos cloud. In the Sonos app (iOS, Windows) an Image with the logo of the radio station is shown.This is an example of the received metadataStatus object:{"container":{"name":"Radio Paradise","type":"station","id":{"serviceId":"254","objectId":"s13606","accountId":"sn_0"},"service":{"name":"TuneIn","id":"254","images":[]},"images":[],"explicit":false},"streamInfo":"Steely Dan - Midnight Cruiser"}I wonder, how do I get an image of the currently played radio station from the Sonos Control API?  

Unfortunately just brought the Roam not realising that it was only S2 Compatible. I have £2k + of S1 parts so not going to change from S1. As I understand it the new products have a higher spec particularly memory so surely it can not be beyond Sonos ingenuity for those who need the s1 system to load products with the older system, it may not use all the memory etc but at least it works

Hi allI am trying to determine whether the Sonos Arc will work with my setup…  PS5 and a gaming monitor that does not have HDMI Arc or eArc Trying to understand the connection options for the Sonos ArcDoes the PS5 plug into the Sonos Arc and then the Sonos Arc plugs into Monitoir (HDMI) - passign through the video signal or is the inteded setup that the PS5 plugs directly to monitior and in order for the sound to get back to the Sonos Arc it requires a eArc/Arc HDMI connection to the Sonos Arc?Not 100% sure on how eArc/Arc works as never had to use it before… I understand the relvance for TVs but with a monitor that receives its video/audio one way from source (PS5) also any limitations in passign through the arc to monitor in this way  (if the first way oif connectivity is possible )   ? I did have an older bose soundsystem but the passthrough capped me at 1080p and obvioualy nowadays I want greater .Cant find the manual for the Sonos Arc online - assume all done through app Any advic

Plan to power my B&W LM 1’s with my Connect 1 amp. Will use my wonderful Denon DCD 1560 and, I hope,Qobuz.  I don’t want to add on to the Sonos hookup that runs elsewhere. Two question: the office room for this is going to need its own router, and the Connect has lost its power chord. (It couldn’t be me.)  Would welcome suggestions and a power cord for sale.

Hiim looking for recommendations for best most suitable Sonos set up for our morning room which runs into the galley kitchenthe Morning Room is 12ft x 12ft and the kitchen is 17ft x 9ft. At the moment I just listen to music and radio on a 2nd gen play 5. We are putting a tv in the morning room and I’d like stereo sound, I’d also like the option of having a speaker at the far kitchen end for when I just want music or radio in the kitchen. It’s rare that the music is played at any great volume, just want the quality therefore thinking of Sonos Beam with Alexa under the tv, poss 2 x SL Ones in the morning room and then 1 x SL One at the far end of the kitchen, and then sell the play 5. I gave an arc in my living room but don’t want to spend that much on the set up for these two rooms. any thoughts/ suggestions for the best system for this room combination  thanksdave

I send back the roam speaker. I have a few components as well a move running under S1. Roam is not compatible with S1. Makes no sense to keep it.I guess I will change to another system in the future. Sorry but incompatibility is a no go

Hey Sonos Engineers! I know this has been touched upon. I previously submitted this request to support and they encouraged me to share here to keep the conversation going. Is there any chance we could implement a soft switch for line-in audio to bypass the computer for "delay disable" functionality. I understand and appreciate the reason for the delay. However, I'm running turntables through a mixer and into the line-in of the PLAY:5. Can't teach my son to mix records with that delay, and since we're set-up in a communal space, my wife is not too keen on bringing out the old mix monitors. Can you dig it? Can we figure out a way to manually disable the delay on an individual speaker basis? Otherwise love the gear! Thanks! Here's quote from customer support. Hope it isn't too heavy handed or out of school to post: "I'm not on the development team, but I personally think that it wouldn't be too hard to implement some kind of soft switch to bypass the computer

Usually when reading about frequency ranges the "treble range" is 2.5k-5k and the "brilliance range" is everything above 5k. Does this possibly mean also the Sonos treble EQ boosts/cuts only 2.5k-5k? Or does it affect everything above 2.5k all the way to the 20s? Is lowering treble a linear equalization? (all affected frequencies cut/boosted the same).  

I waited to buy Sonos until Google was integrated and invested on a Sonon One in December last year.It is crap.@Patrick Spence, your team have failed to deliver anything like what can be described as acceptable. Have they give up on the ghost? Was it just too difficult for them to work the api and integrate?Is there no experience on the team? Does creating “exciting” new thingys mean more to them that to fix a failed product?The kit does not talk to or remotely integrate with Google Speakers - something so very basic. That is what it is all about.What a total waste of money.

I really wish the Sonos Amp software would support true low-level output for subwoofer and not just LFE like today. I would like to use the crossover filter on my sub instead of the filter in the Amp. I’d like to send full range to my front speakers even with a sub connected, as my fronts can go a lot deeper than the 50 Hz which is the minimum crossover in the Amp settings. The filter in the Amp also color the sound pretty badly. I don’t know what kind processing it does, but the sound gets bright and muddy.Since the Amp is a product not aimed at the most average consumer, but someone with at least slightly higher demand on sound quality, I really think the option to bypass the built-in filter of the Amp should  be enabled. You don’t need to be an audiophile to appreciate that.

Bonjour, lorsque l'on crée une playlist il y a toujours des différences de volume importants d'un morceau à l'autre, ce qui oblige à faire des réglages permanent surtout lorsqu'on écoute à faible volume en musique de fond. Il serait très intéressant d'avoir la possibilité de corriger le volume sur chaque morceau, ajustement de volume qui serait bien sûr sauvegardé.Je ne pense pas que ça existe sur Sonos et cela serait une amélioration très utile.Christian Mod Edit: Added English translation:Hello, when you create a playlist there are always significant volume differences from one song to another, which means that you have to make permanent adjustments, especially when listening to low volume in background music. It would be very interesting to have the possibility of correcting the volume on each song, volume adjustment which would of course be saved.I don't think it exists on Sonos and it would be a very useful improvement.Christian

It's not possible to select more than one room when setting up a alarm. You can select play on grouped rooms, but you are not always certain that the desired rooms is in the group. It would be so nice if you could select more rooms. Drop the radio buttons and make check boxes instead
