Spaces & Setups

Hi, Today I’ve been listening to my Apple Music playlist via the Sonos Apple Music service (NOT streamed via AirPlay 2).I noticed that some songs were louder than others during playback and I know that if I was streaming from my phone they’d be at the same volume with sound check enabled (which it is on my phone).Is there an equivalent function in the Sonos settings that will achieve the same as Apple’s sound check?  If there was I’d not have to keep upping and lowering the volume.CheersWhingbag 

My system is comprised of: a Connect; 4 Ones; a 3; and a Move. The system is "wired" with only the Connect connected with ethernet.  My household has accounts with Apple, Spotify, Pandora, and Tidal playing through Sonos.  Tidal is the primary service I personally use. I've read historical threads in this forum that Tidal lossless files "need a more solid wireless connection" otherwise song skipping and a 'connection to tidal was lost' error message may occur. I have been receiving these errors recently and it finally dawned on me that these errors did not happen until I got the Move. Could it be that my "wired" Sonos mesh network is solid, but including the Move in the same speaker group is causing the errors because the Move's Wi-Fi connection is not so solid? Anecdotally, this seems to be the case as I've had successful Tidal listening sessions with the Move left out of the speaker group, but this is not proof. I am hoping to get a definitive, technical answer. Thank you.

Why don't these ***** make a device that can be used as a PC Speaker? Do they want us to chuck the triangular thing into a ditch and get a proper speaker? Utterly disgraceful -m they care more about here own profits than the user experience. Tell your directors and shareholders that you are on the path tom substantialloss with this self-serving strategy.. Moderator Note: Modified in accordance with the Community Code of Conduct

Hi. I have recently bought a Sub 3 and I have been experimenting to try and find the best position to place it.I have tried in the corner of the room, underneath my settee and behind me on the floor but I like my current position the best on the floor by the side of my TV cabinet.However should I be concerned that my Sky Q digibox is only around 2ft away from the Sub itself as I know that strong speakers (that are in the Sub) can affect hard drives abd there's one in my Sky Q digibox!Many thanks for any feedback.Cheers 🍻 

I am very interested in purchasing a Brennan B2, however before committing I would like to ask those who have the knowledge on this forum will it work with older Sonos equipment?I have the following kit -3 x Play 3 speakers, 1 x Connect and a CR200 controller. I have the Sonos S1 app on a smartphone and PC.Many thanks 

Can I add two Gen 2 One SL Speakers as separate front left and right channels to a Sonos Home Theater System that includes a Sonos Play Base, Subwoofer, and two Play Five Surround Sound Speakers that were all purchased in 2018? The Play Base is connected to an LG 4K TV via an optical cable. The rest of the speakers are connected to the Play Base via WiFi.

My order for the Arc emersion kit shows backordered, Ship date from 2/25/2022. Is everything backordered or just the Arc? Can I get a partial shipment? The ones and the Sub?  Assuming there are many of us on the backorder list. Can you tell me what order dates are being filled now? Just want an idea where I am on the list. 

HiI am new to sonos and really enjoy my Sonos one. We are 4 people in the house and I'm the only one who installed and configured the Sonos app and One. When someone asks Google to play music from Spotify on the Sonos, which Google and Spotify accounts are in use? Mine? If I leave the house with my phone the music stops. So who owns the music? Who controls the device? Hope my question makes sense. Thanks   

Hi folks - a friend of a friend is considering selling these speakers - can someone help me identify the specific models?  I see Play 1’s on the lower right...Thanks…  

Hi AllNewbie here and my 1st post.Soon to be purchasing some Sonos gear but need some advice please.I will soon be buying an LG Oled TV. to go with that I would like a great (surround) sound system.I have been advised that I should get the following Sonos Arc sound bar  Sonos Amp Pair of Sonance/Sonos Ceiling speakers It has also been suggested to me that the Sonance/Sonos Ceiling speakers  have there own amp built into the speakers, therefore they only need power, and I would not need a Sonos Amp.Is this correct ? Also the Arc soundbar would be wired to the TV, but how would it connect to the Amp ? would it need to connect to the Amp ? Hope you can throw some light onto my quiries  Thank in advance  

Hi all,I am new to this.I just bought beam 2. Everything is working fine but not the Dolby Atmos.I have C1 TV, premium Netlifx and tried Disney plus too.Tried changing the HDMi cable that is connected to the the apple TV 4k but nothing happened. Anything else I could try? Thanks 

I have a play bar and two Sonos one surround speakers and the system was working fine for three years.  The play bar is connected directly to the tv thru the tv audio  connection. When the play bar is feed sound thru  the tv, the rear surround speakers do not work, When you listen to music thru  the app, all the speakers work.  I have tried disconnecting and re connecting the speaker and this did not help.   I have made sure the tv is in Dolby.  Is is like my play bar will not talk to the surround speakers when feed by the tv.  My next step was to do a factory reset but looking for other options?

App improvement suggestion…In the Sonos app, when searching Spotify, would it be possible to clearly differentiate an artists full length albums from their singles and other songs?  The Spotify app itself has a ‘Show Discography’ button, that clearly shows all albums and the year they were released by an artist. This tiny change would make the app experience so much better.  I often find myself having to go to the Spotify app to first confirm the latest album released by an artist, then going into the Sonos app to select it from (what appears to me to be) a jumble of songs - EPs, albums, singles - in no defined order. It does appear that, in the Sonos app, the latest release by an artist is the top result, but even a year next to this would help to confirm.

Dear Forum,i have 2 Beams in my house, 1 wants to connect to muic being shared to it, [just about] 1 doesnt.Beam 1 is on the same TV as an Apple TV and appears to want to use the ATV to have music shared to it as the Beam itself wont. So i share to the ATV which pops up. Is this normal and why wont my Beam take the music directly?Beam 2 will play music from the Sonos App but not from Apple Music app and shared to it?

Dear Forum,Any idea why 1 of 4 of my iOS devices wont login to Sonos S2 app? Simply says ‘Network Pronblem Detected’. There is no network problem as 3 other devices are logged into same app, and the rest of the network is operating fine.I have reset app rom with settings; nothing.i have delted app and reinstalled it, same issue.Any ideas?

I have an outside TV streaming with a Roku stick. I also have 2 Sonos Play:1 speakers (stereo) mounted outside (covered and removed in winter). How can I connect the TV audio (mounted and covered on a brick exterior wall) connected to the Sonos system to be able to listen to the TV audio on the Play:1 speakers? 

I have a Sonos Connect:Amp (Gen 1), I wanna make the change to S2. Can I buy a Sonos port, (instead of, AMP) and control the existing Connect:Amp (Gen 1) to power the speakers? Or do I need to buy the AMP?

Hi all , just got a LG 43UP81006LR and the remote doesn't control the volume on the beam 2 , hdmi CEC is on and connected via arc , anyone any ideas ? Thanks 

Hi all. I’m looking for some help, thanks in advance.We have 2x play 1’s, playbar, & a 3rd gen sub in our lounge, we use this for Spotify & tv, but I mainly use them for playing records on a Rega P6 via a Sonos port. I have a pair of Sony WH-1000xm4’s which I would like to connect to the port, via a Bluetooth transmitter. could anyone recommend what I need to get? (I may consider a headphone amp, if that’s the best route)Cheers Ratty

I have woken up this morning and launched the new Placebo album, "Never Let Me Go" via my Samsung S21 Ultra Sonos App. I looked to see what the current track title was and noted that it was still displaying the opening track. I checked on my Kindle and that is continuing to show the correct current track ( three changes since I found the Android issue)

I have 4 sonos 1 speakers spanning 3 generations:  1x Play:11x Sonos one,2x Sonos one SL I have routine connectivity issues, with speakers dropping intermittently and from time to time an inability to connect to 1 or more speakers.  I will sometimes be able to stream direct from Apple Music to one of the speakers but at the same time the speaker will not show up in the Sonos app.   I recently upgraded my network router to a mesh router in order to try and stabilize my connection and improve security. this seems to have had no impact. Any help you can provide would be great.

I have a Sonos 5 which works fine with my turntable. As the turntable is in a large room, I also bought two Sonos 0ne sl speakers to group with the Sonos 5. Although the Ones work by themselves and show up on the app, when I try to group them with the Sonos 5, I get the message that the product can’t be found. I’ve reset them several times to factory default but always get the same message.Appreciate any help. 

I can add a song to a playlist, including a song playing on, for example: pandora to my playlist.But I can’t add the station I set up on Pandora to my play list.this seems like an obvious use case, WHY didn’t you provide that functionality?

Hi, I just purchased an Amp and I would love to use a remote with it to control volume from afar when my phone isn’t around.I’ve seen several topics about this on here but several folks are suggesting a $100 universal remote which I find very expensive given that all I want to do is control the volume + up and - down. That’s it. I won’t be using the Amp to control a TV setup, just streaming and vinyl. Does anyone have any relatively inexpensive IR remotes that are compatible with the Amp?
