Spaces & Setups

I’m getting a turntable and want to connect it to my Sonos system. I have no idea what the best layout would be. The room is a 13’ square with the diagram below. I have a playbase in the TV corner (1), and two Play:1s at (2) and (3). What I would prefer is for the turntable to be on the cabinet (2), but it could be above TV at (1). To connect the turntable, I’d need to buy a Play:5 for (2) and move the Play:1, maybe to shelf (3). If I need to put it above the TV I could connect it via Amp, or maybe an optical switch to the playbase (will never have TV and turntable on at the same time). Any recommendations or alternatives I’m overlooking for best layout? Thanks for helping a noob out. 

Hi all!We are building a new house and I am in the midst of designing the sound stage of the different rooms. Regarding our kitchen, it is the place we will be the most in the enitre house and also there we will host the smaller parties etc. in the future, so the sound stage here is very important, both for everyday listening while cooking but also bigger events with family and friends. I am thinking 4 Sonos ONE in each corner placed approx. 230cm above floor level (total space from floor to ceiling is 255cm). Is it too much with 4 ONE’s? I could maybe mount 2 FIVES’s on one end instead and get even better sound instead of 4 ONES, but as I understand it Sonos FIVE does not have good selection on the mounting side of things? I have attached a drawing so you can see the size of our Kitchen, and marked my thoughts for placement with yellow marker.  

I have two play:3’s paired with a sub at the rear of my living room, which has been providing great stereo audio for music playback - we use it all the time.I just added a Beam so that we could get great TV audio also - setting it up paired with the sub and the two play:3’s as surrounds.Now, however, when I play music, there is audio coming out the Beam - and I can’t find a way to stop that. It seems there are only three options:Ambient Mode - Subtle, low volume audio from surrounds with a limited frequency range. This is the default setting for surround speakers during music playback. Full Mode - Full range audio for surrounds at the same volume as the home theater speaker Main Home Theatre device only (Arc/Beam etc.) - No audio from surrounds, which you may toggle ‘off’ in room settings .Where is the 4th option - No audio from the home theater speaker, full range from the “surrounds”? Surely I am not going to need to reconfigure the entire system every time I switch from Music to TV

Got the full Sonos home theater (Arc, Sub, One’s) but...have a potential problem with the Sub.  I have two VERY inquisitive and playful cats...who are starting to play in the Sub’s hole--I’m scared they are going to put a hole in or rip the speakers.  Are there any kind of grill coverings I can get for the sub, or other ideas, to keep their paws out of the insides?Thanks

Had one of my SYMFONISK lamps die, Sonos rouble shot over the phone and recommended replacement. So mailed it back to family in the states to return and they were told at the Tampa Ikea that the SYMFONISK lamp was discountinued. they had no more there and couldn’t order it from the store to ship to my families house anymore. Anyone else heard of this? I was able to order one online and had it shipped ot my familys place still. The ikea employee said he thinks its because of issues with them? I have another that is perfectly fine. Hope this new one is not a dud too! 

Hi, does it make sense to have 2 in-ceiling speakers in the kitchen and 2 fives on the sideboard in the living area? I can’t put 2 speakers in the ceiling above the dining room table in the grey box, but I could put in just one on the garden side of the ceiling. Or would two Sonos 1’s on stands high up in the kitchen be better than ceiling speakers? 

Anyone else experiencing intermittent surround sound performance? I have a playbar, Sub (Gen 1) and 2 Play 1's (Gen 1) up to date software but have noticed that recently sometimes the surround sound speakers drop out so i only get sound through play bar. Its not often but mostly when watching terrestrial television.

Hi everyone, please take my thanks in advance for any help you can offer.I’ve been wanting to get myself a Sonos system for the LONGEST time, and last year was finally able to get hold of a ‘Beam’ for downstairs and a ‘One’ for upstairs. Loving the system, I saved up and got hold of two ‘One SL’s yesterday to try and get a surround setup with the Beam downstairs. However something doesn’t seem to be working with the surround One SLs and I’d really appreciate your help. I’ve tried doing some googling but haven’t yet found a solution. I apologise in advance for the wall of text but hopefully this helps save a lot of back-and-forth. Please understand that I am relatively competent with tech but am by no means an expert here, I just want surround sound in my living room.Below I’ll describe each combination of settings I’ve tried and the corresponding result.NOTE- While trying to figure this out I’ve come across many people saying they’ve been able to get surround sound working just fine EX

Hello everyone,for the past few months I’ve been successfully using my Symfonisk Lamp as an Airplay speaker. But this month the Symfonisk just disappeared from airplay and I can’t seem to get it back in there. I’ve both restarted and resetted the device and the router but nothing seems to work. I can play music via Spotify connect and can play audiobooks via the audible connector in the Sonos app but airplay is essentially gone. I also cannot add the speaker to my HomeKit as it can’t be found there as well.I have also tried connecting it via Lan Cable but that doesn’t solve the issue.What can I do to make it work again? I’m using an IPhone 12 and IPad Pro.

I have DALI Rubicon 2C wireless speakers. I bought a PORT so I could add them to my existing Sonos system. The connection to the speakers is intermittent - typically it drops after a couple of minutes.Are these speakers incompatable (they work fine with everything else!) Thanks

I know there are a few older threads here suggesting Sonos users can utilize the Lutron Caseta Pico Audio Remote to control volume, play/pause, next/favourites - but I found through other forums (probably Lutron ones) that the standard Pico remote is essentially identical to the Audio remote, except for labeling, and works perfectly well for controlling Sonos once paired and setup. The Standard Pico remote here in Canada will cost about $23 vs. $50 or more for the Audio remote (Amazon pricing).  I used my label maker to create custom audio icon labels (see pic) to mimic the function of the Audio remote, but this isn’t strictly necessary.  It’s a shame that Lutron charges such a high premium for the Audio labeling but I guess it is a niche market.  They both come in black as well, which I would have preferred - however this again is more than twice the price.  The pedestals are $13 up here and highly recommended...they have a nice weight and grippy base.  Yes you must have a Lutron wire

I have a Sonos Zp90 player that has worked fine until recently with external speakers (Audioengine).  Nothing new changed.  It just plays intermittently, and is so incredibly annoying.    Anyone else experiencing it?   I think if I ask Sonos they’re just going to try to get me to upgrade to a better system.   I like my speakers just fine and I’d like to hang on to them.   Does anyone know how to fix this?  Thanks in advance!

How soon will the black Arc be back in stock?

Hi Im new to Sonos and have just purchased a Sonos arc and have a LG OLED tv and I’m thinking about getting two symfonisk speaks to setup as surrounds.  I can’t find out if this will work? Can anyone confirm? Or do I have to get two Sonos sl’s also would the SL’s sound better?   thanks

So I'm not special or anything lol, just wanted to put out there what would make me buy more Sonos.  Seems a new product is on the way, and some recent new functionality.  None of which interests me in the least.  At least, in one case, without my top wishlist item. Btw my system = 2 Arc, 2 Fives, 1 gen 3 Sub, 8 One SLs. 1) 7.1 surround. Not even close to any other "want".  Here's the benefit for Sonos.  I but 2 more Ones for my main theater setup, (already have 5.1 with the Arc and Ones) and at that point more likely than not I buy a second sub since it is now supported.  (But ZERO chance I buy a second sub without 7.1) In addition, for my second theatre setup - another Arc, 2 more Ones (have a couple down there but they can be moved elsewhere should I go with a different brand for that setup - which won't happen if, well there's that pesky 7.1 again).   Add a sub, or even two and another Arc.  So there's another 3k.2)  DTS.  I know, never gonna happen is the chorus.  For theater room

hello, is it possible replace the top of my sonos beam? there are some scratch over it… is it possible to find the top somewhere? Sorry for my english...

I generally listen to Pandora. 2 deficiencies in the Sonos App have led me to abandon it in favor of Airplay:Inability to play on my Mac speakers (which is nuts!)  Lack of Thumbs up/down support for Pandora on Apple Watch “lyd” app.  

We have about 5 rooms (including an outside deck) where we want to install wireless speakers. Where do I start? What do I need to buy?

Whilst watching Netflix via the TV app on my Panasonic Gz1000U oled, the sound randomly crackles and skips. Sometimes I can watch it perfectly for hours, then it starts again. It’s only via the Tv app, no other sources produce this. I just want to know if anyone else experiences this or if it is a TV issue. Diagnostic 494977665

cuando compre sonos arc lo compre entusiasmado , pero aparte de no descodificar dts ,el dialogo de algunas pelis se oye muy bajo , porque sonos no permite subir el volumen de los dialogos es lo unico que le falta a este pedazo barra

Hi anyone help me understand why my so is play 3 would show my ex as a host , and I’m sure it was used to listen in to my hone ,  

I purchased two Moves with the intent of creating a stereo pair of portable speakers. Fine on WiFi. Bluetooth is a whole different story. I should have paid closer attention to the specifications - specifically the FAQ. The whole point of getting two Moves was to take my music outside and on the road where there is no WiFi. I am very disappointed in Sonos at the moment. There is an old guideline in product design/development: if you can’t do something fully and completely to what the average customer will expect, don’t do it until you can.To the Sonos engineers and product management folks: engineering a pair of speakers to work as a stereo pair over bluetooth is very possible and has been accomplished many times. I have a pair of very high quality JBL Flip4s which work nicely in stereo mode while connected to my phone in Bluetooth mode. They do this by pairing the streaming device to one of the speakers and then connecting the two speakers to each other so that the one drives the othe

A huge leak just came out tonight from the Verge regarding The new Sonos product. If you are interested in the rumored details including images, pricing, specs etc. just search for it and it’s all over. Sucks that it popped early as it’s like being told what you got for Christmas before you are able to open thise special Santa gifts. 

I have recently paired an LG CX OLED TV with a Sonos Arc - a popular combination and I get Dobly Atmos!  I added two sonos Ones for rear speakers.  I have an existing subwoofer that has an 18inch driver and was brilliant in a former setup, but I’ve discovered there is no way to get an audio signal out to use it, let alone a 5.1 sub output. There’s a confusing number of conversations around this, but I’m starting to understand that a Sonos PORT is the only way I can now get an analogue or digital output to work with.Question: is that true? Are there alternatives?Question: if I get a SONOS port, do I then need to use the digital COAX output (and why did they drop the TOS output??) and feed that into a Dolby decoder box of some sort to get my LFE sub channel out?Question: will I then be able to configure the PORT output to be a subwoofer for the Sonos ARC tv setup?Whilst the Port is an expensive option, I do also have a legacy high quality amp that I might also use in conjection with a po

Hello everyone,    I recently purchased a Sonos Arc to accompany my Philips PUS8204/12. I have noticed a rattling / crackle at certain times watching blu ray movies. I have a case open with Sonos and senior sound engineers are checking the issue. It seems very similar to the issue found in the Bose forum https://community.bose.com/t5/Home-Theater/Bose-Soundbar-500-rattle-crackle-with-Dolby-Digital-Source/td-p/207427/page/6   I first noticed the crackle listening to blu ray (Hans Zimmer live in Prague - inception time). This was very audible and my family and I looked at eachother worryingly all noticing the strange noise. The same issue occurred watching the Conjuring 2 even at low volumes. Both were receiving Dolby atmos signal as shown in the app. Things I have tried below; changed Xbox one to Panasonic blu ray player issue persisted  changed HDMI cables issue persisted downloaded the same movie (conjuring on rakuten - no crackle but not sure of the audio output) changed the
