Spaces & Setups

I’m trying to get better sound balance without cluttering the room. Any placement tips that worked well for you?

So the latest App release for IOS (81.00.52) says that it now includes re-intstatement of the much requested ‘save your queue as a playlist’.However, having updated both App and Sonos system I am still none the wiser as to how this can be achieved.  I tried tapping on the ‘queue’ icon at the bottom left of the now playing screen.  This displays the queue, but no new controls have been added to the queue screen (still just shuffle, repeat, and clear).Anyone have any ideas how the queue can be saved?Is it buried away in some other sub-menu somewhere? 

I just got a Sonos Line-In Adapter which I want to use to attach between the analog line out of a small radio and a laptop. I then want to pass the signal through the laptop to a bluetooth amp.I started out first just trying to get the signal to the laptop and selecting the audio capture device with VLC. I had just one option on the drop down list, hw,0,0.  I selected that and could hear the signal with earphones and it sounded OK.I later ran into some issues making the bluetooth connection and it looks to be an issue with a missing dependency. I tried a number of suggestions and uninstalled and reinstalled some drivers, etc. It still doesn’t connect to the amp via bluetooth.I went back to VLC and the signal from the radio through the Sonos adapter. I noticed two things. First there was lots of static and noise and I could hear the signal, but it was very weak. I also noticed in the drop down box there were two options listed, hw,0,0 and hw1,0. The first one had all the noise and if I

I connected Sonos to the Alexa app and used the Sonos skill for a while until it stopped working. So i disabled the skill, but couldn’t reactivate it. This error is due to “Geographical restrictions”. I’m in Norway.

Hi there,  I have a Sonos move 1 and i've been using it with much joy. But since a week or so I've had troubles with playing music with google assistant on my move. I have re-synced my sonos with the assistant in the Sonos app AND i've reconnected the Sonos app in my Google Home. (Done this twice now)Everytime I ask it to play it says:'’Sorry, I can't do that on this device'’ When playing music from the Sonos app I can in fact skip songs, lower volume or stop the music.  I've called support and they told me they can't help me, because I've done the steps they would do.  Does someone know how to make it work again. 

I have a beam 2 would 2 100s or a mini sub be better to listen to music from Spotify...just starting out in the Sonos world 

Apologies if this has been asked before, but I can’t find a thread which answers my question.I have a holiday property with a number of Sonos speakers, controlled by some old iphones set in kiosk mode, so guests can use the sonos app (and nothing else).Whilst this works ok, I prefer to have the app in a ‘logged out’ state, as I don’t want guests fiddling with updates or changing any settings. - this has happened before :-(The issue I have is with alarms, as an alarm can’t be set without the app prompting the user to log in. - I wondered if there was a work around for thisA ‘guest mode’ with limited functionality would solve this issue, but this doesn’t seem to be an option

I have Sonos amps running waterproof speakers in the bathroom / shower rooms which I control with  flic buttons. Ie press the button once and it plays a predetermined playlist. Double press stops the track. Long press switches to another playlist,  Is there anyway to make these playlists play randomly without going into the app. I’d just like the playlist to start on a different track each time rather than hear the same 2 or 3 songs every time ? thanks David 

Hi, Today I tried to play music through Alexa and it said it couldn't because I didn't have internet, but after I tried with Sonos assistant and Sonos could. I removed my account and when I tried to log back into Amazon it gave me error 400, but I searched and there was no outage. Is anyone else having this problem?

Please can Sonos deliver functionality to allow the same speakers to be configured differently for Music and TV playback.I have era 300’s and a Beam.I want to have a preset grouping for a stereo pair (era 300’s) for musicandA preset grouping for Surround era 300’s + Beam for tv. I thought I might be able to do this by creating to ‘rooms’.. Loung TV / Lounge Music…. but it will only allow the speakers to belong to one room grouping. This can’t be achieved currently and would be a massive positive. When I play music with all three speakers (even when in ‘full’ mode - it doesn’t sound anywhere as near as good as the two era’s as a stereo pair).

After the recent Sonos system update all voice enabled devices have failed to install or load Google Assistant.  Sonos support is blaming Google due to Gemini and Google is blaming Sonos for a very poor app link integration. Shockingly Amazon Alexa and Sonos Voice work fine but for users who have all of their home automation on Google Assistant/Google Home they are screwed again. Please resolve this issue!

My setup is a Beam and Era 300’s ( no sub) in surround sound mode in one room . In other rooms, I have Era 100’s. I woudl like to add an AT-LP3XBT turntable to the mix.I could direct connect the turntable to the Beam, but not the other speakers. Is it possible to:Direct connect the Beam and through it include all of the other speakers? Wirelessly do the same thing? Other alternative?

Hi I leave in Greece  Both of services Alexa and Google home are not available What is going on?

If I provide a photo of the room I want to purchase a system for, could you recommend the best options/setup?

When I cast from an music app via wifi I can't find sonos arq in the list. Arc is connected to my TV and therefore the TV starts every time I cast music. So I am getting sound through sonos Arc but because of the TV which is connected to arc. I would like to directly stream from android app to arc.  Are there any settings in the sonos app? 

It’s a bit difficult to pin down exact nature of the new problems with Google Assistant automation routines running on Sonos speakers that I reported earlier, but I’ve made some progress. It’s complicated by the fact that Google Home is in a state of flux at the moment as Google is making extensive changes that have introduced a lot of new bugs. No help from either Google or Sonos on this of course.The main item is this: now when a Google Assistant routine runs on Sonos and executes a custom command or query action that generates spoken output, it causes the routine to abort after completing the action.For example, you can have a routine with a series of actions to make device settings, or to tell you the time, the date. the weather, your schedule for the day, etc., and the routine will run just fine as long as they are standard actions or queries selected from the menu of the new automation editor. But if you insert in there a custom Google Assistant query or command not  on the menu

Not authorizing gaana plus

Wondering if Sonos ever improved their Android app?  I haven’t been forced to do any updates but honestly haven’t used my system much since the app destroyed my listening experience.  Sonos was not responsive to my concerns.  The old app worked perfectly. 

Does Sonos have plans to integrate Alexa+ and so many other Alexa features into their smart speakers soon?  I am getting close to giving up on Sonos and replacing my five speaker investment and going with either Alexa Echo smart speakers or Google Nest smart speakers.  They may not sound quite as good as Sonos speakers (I honestly don’t know) but at least they support ALL of their features including their AI services.

Hi all,I’m looking for a bit of real-world advice before upgrading part of my Sonos setup.I currently have: 2 × Play:1 1 × Play:3 Sonos One Sonos Port Era 300 We’ve recently switched over to Apple Music and are mostly using AirPlay / Apple Music integration alongside the Sonos app.I’m considering replacing the two Play:1s with two Era 100s, and I’m trying to get a feel for whether the upgrade is genuinely worthwhile.A couple of questions I’d really appreciate views on:1. Sound quality:Is the jump in sound quality from Play:1 → Era 100 actually noticeable in day-to-day listening, particularly with Apple Music (lossless / Atmos where applicable)? Or is it more of an incremental improvement?2. Apple Music & stability:Since switching to Apple Music, I’ve noticed occasional dropouts or odd behaviour when: Switching between the Sonos app and controlling playback directly from Apple Music Adding/removing rooms mid-playback For those who’ve moved from older speakers (Play:1 / Pla

I had the S1 app for many years - all was working fine with Alexa. I could ask Alexa to play “x” on “y” room.I upgraded some of my Sonos ecosystem - but couldn’t afford to upgrade all to S2 app compatibility. Therefore I have 3 speakers on S1 and the rest on S2. But that seems to have created a problem where all Sonos elements show as ‘online’ on the list devices page - but when I click into each speaker/amp/etc - they are all offline. I have only linked the S2 system with Alexa.I have completed the steps below: Turned off phoneApp versions - up to dateDisabled enabled skill in AlexaRemoved and added speaker to Alexa appAdded Alexa skill in sonosReset networkTurned everything off and on Diagnostic data  ****************** Given that I’ve spent a few hours to get something that I use maybe once a day - is it worth pursuing?Thanks. Moderator Note: Recorded and removed Diagnostic number.

Since Sonos Voice Control was released, it has responded to 100% of my first command after saying “Hey Sonos”. (Unless of course I asked it something it couldn't do, that's on me, not it)  However, while it’s sitting there in “Follow up/Continued Conversation” mode? It never EVER registers my second command.For example. Having music playing then saying “Hey Sonos, Switch to TV Input” CHIME and it does it. Then while the light is still on, I say something like “Volume Thirty Percent” or “Set Volume To Thirty Percent” and after I’m done the light goes out and nothing happens. EVER.But if I say “Hey Sonos” for both commands? It has the audacity to tell me that I don’t need to say Hey Sonos each time……. 😒This has been like this since it launched. Over 3 years now. I believe sonos voice assistant hasn't been updated since 1.1 (Will be three whole years in Feb) Anyone Else?

How do I play music (MP.3s) stored on my Mac through my Sonos Play:1 speakers?

Bonjour, ayant une grande pièce de vie ouverte (+/- 80 M2). J’y ai installé 4 sonos Five et souhaite désormais supprimer tout mon ancien matériel de home cinéma… Je compte investir désormais dans la Sonos Arc Ultra qui accepte une entrée HDMI.Cela dit, est ce que celle ci se connectera avec les 4 Five murale afin de réaliser du 4.1?Y a t’il un micro ou une appli de paramétrage pour l’ensemble?Est ce que ceci est réalisable Merci pour votre retour. Moderator edit:Google Translate-Hello, I have a large open-plan living area (approximately 80 square meters). I've installed four Sonos Five speakers and now want to remove all my old home theater equipment.I'm planning to invest in the Sonos Arc Ultra, which has an HDMI input.That said, will it connect to the four wall-mounted Sonos Five speakers to create a 4.1 system?Is there a microphone or a setup app for the entire system?Is this even possible?Thank you for your help.
