Spaces & Setups

I have an Apple IPhone SE2, which I’ve  updated religiously. Currently running the most up to date versions of iOS and the Sonos app. My husband has an Android phone & recently began using the Sonos system too.  We just noticed that (from within the Sonos app) he can access “Album info” & “Browse the Artist” - in addition to “Crossfade” & “Sleep timer” by clicking 3 dots on the currently playing song screen. HOWEVER, by the same method I can only access “Crossfade” & “Sleep timer.” I’m super bummed and can’t seem to find any way to browse similar artists through the Sonos app - vis a vis my Amazon Music account. It feels like the developers forgot to give the Apple app this option - what gives? Anyone else notice this?

Hi, I bought two Sonos Five White from same retailer and S/N are quite identical so same production lote.Has anyone noticed on their Fives the grille portion separating from the main body?Mines are rather slight but I can still notice the gap, especially on the white model. This is probably a production issue because are both exactly the same, grille separation and gap in the same spot. 

Has anyone used Ikea Symfonisk speakers for rears with Sonos beam for surround theatre set up if so is it any good. 

Hi, since receiving my Sonos five I’ve noticed that it drops out intermittently. This happens when I play either Spotify or Sonos radio.

HI All, Thinking about getting a Sonos for the first time.  Right now I have a turntable plugged into the auxiliary plug of an old stereo in my living room, so the sound only plays through the stereo speakers.  I want to be able to listen to records in other rooms, but not have to the sound on in the living room.   From what I am reading, I have to buy a port, plug the old stereo into the port and then speakers for the other rooms.  First, am I correct, second would I able to play records in one room, but only be able to listen to it in another room. Thanks in advance.

I just got a new Sonos 5.1 set up. The arc, gen 3 sub, and 2 sl. I have a samsung tu700d. The issue I'm having is that the app is always displaying dolby atmos. So I can't actually tell if dolby atmos is coming through. Even on random youtube videos. I just want to be able to tell if what I'm getting is actually atmos.

Hi I’m really struggling to understand how to setup my new Port to my Denon AVR x550bt Receiver. Im not technical, but there are a number of RCA ports available for AUDIO IN but can't seem to get any volume out of the speakers when I turn it on to Media player or CBL. The surround sound speakers are being used by sky box/HDMI input Any help would be appreciated? Cheers 

Hi all, my question is, what does really mean that Sonos Radio is optimized for Sonos? Have to say that indeed sounds really weel but what does really mean optimized for SOnos? Is a matter of equalization or what?Thanks,C.

When watching Netflix on my Sony tv, randomly the Sonos speakers will start making very load high pitch and crackling sounds. The only way to stop it is to turn everything off.Diagnostic: 1494543837

I ordered a Sonos Arc from Best Buy on February 17, 2021.  Any idea when his will ship?

Hello bonjour, English : I am not sure of the possibility ton ask Siri to control my ikea-Sonos Symfonisk : I have added it in Apple HOME app, but it says : there is no control available. Same with Google assistant. (in France) Français : je voulais essayer de controle mon Symfonisk avec siri ou google mais visiblement, aucun contrôle ne semble possible même en l’ayant ajouté dans les applications Maison de Apple et Google Home.

Hey all! I’m wanting to remove some clutter and am thinking about mounting my one SL’s to the wall. I was curious if anyone had tinkered with some of the mounts. Ive been seeing people say really good things about the Flexon. I love the Sonos mounts due to the design and magnetic ball on the back. However the sanus mounts look for appealing as well. Anyone got any experience with one or both or all three?

We have two Sonos ones with a Sonos sub in our kitchen  (zone 3) and a pair of smallish Paradigm speakers in our living room with a sub (zone 2) now running off a sonos amp in lieu of Zone 2 on our avr as it is easier to launch from the phone and we use it more--especially the wife.  We stream amazon music in those zones more than anything but can use the Sonos amp to play CD’s etc from our Library/HT/main listening area (Zone 1).  I am getting an Apple TV for the Library and that can stream amazon music to the AVR and then to the two other zones but it is a bit clunky.  I had some help with fishing wires by an electrician who also helps with HT and he said best to get a Sonos port and use the digital coax out to the avr to keep it simple.  I suppose I can run everything form the Sonos amp then but still need to trigger the avr and have the correct source chosen.  I am confused by the choices and appreciate any comments. 

For some reason this amp has garnered a reputation for being “bright.” I’ve seen it mentioned in reviews, and I’ve seen it come up on these forums. What follows are a few thoughts I have on the matter and my own experience with the Amp.There’s a good thread on here comparing Amp’s freq. response to a Peachtree Nova 150 (known for being warm/musical, tube preamp, etc.) and the responses are nearly identical, with the Sonos Amp showing slightly less high-end output over 10k. So from a technical comparison (and granted these are only one user’s in-room measurements) the amp is not showing any sort of high-frequency emphasis. I’ve been using the amp for a bit over a year now, and in my personal experience it’s never sounded overly bright or fatiguing. Neutral, clean and clear, but not bright. Paired with some Elac Debut Reference bookshelves, it delivers a nice even-handed, rich and dynamic sound. Compared to my Yamaha HS8 powered monitors, the AMP/Elac setup is actually much smoother soun

Can’t control volume from the plus minus buttons, re speakers. Frustrating but can control from the slide control. Come on Sonos sort your app please. 

Along with or Instead of the current charging base option that is all one connected piece. The Sonos Move should have an extra option for purchase that receives power via USB type C and an accompanying 45 watt USB-C PD charging block also preferably detachable form the cord). Type C to Type C cord preferably for future proofing.This would help stream line the product as it can be charged via the USB type C when being transported or use on the go. This was almost a deal breaker for me when trying to decide between the Sonos Move and the Bose Portable Home Speaker. As the Bose PHS has a type C charging base and can easily be charged with an ordinary android or apple type c charger 

Hi guys in the community, so I understand why Sonos played it safe and went with a mid-woofer for the overall sound quality on the Sonos play 5 and the Sonos move but see Apple didn’t play it safe and it still sounds fantastic and like I say the Apple HomePod just factually sounds better at max volume. Now I like the treble on my Sonos move better but I definitely much preferred the bass on the Apple HomePod over the Sonos move. I mean the Apple HomePod has a larger woofer in a smaller box. And I couldn’t figure out how it’s like a year and a half older than the Sonos move but yet it managed to output deeper cleaner bass boom/bass bump from a smaller box? I feel like the Sonos move could of definitely had closer to the bass power of the Sonos play 5 (Gen 2) if it would of had a woofer instead of a mid-woofer because the Sonos move and the Sonos play 5 both run mid-woofers. I definitely think the Sonos move could of had maybe near quite as much bass as the play 5 but it could of had dee

Hi, Will the Connect gen 1 be unsupported in the near future? Kind regardsKristian

So my set up is 4 Sonos One's in various rooms in my house. Aso have a Sonos Beam in the Living room. In one other room I have a Marantz PM6006 Amplifier which has a Marantz CD6006 CD player, Project Essential turntable and some Monitor speakers all connected to it. I've now bought a Sonos Port. Connected the Port to the Marantz Amp and streaming Spotify through that and all synced up with music playing throughout the house including the Monitor speakers. So no issues there. My issue is connecting the Amp so I can play records and CD's through my Sonos system. I've connected some RCA cables from the Aux Line In on the Port to the only Audio Out in the Amp which is referenced under Recorder. Although I am able to play a record on the turntable and hear it on the Sonos One's and also the Monitor speakers the Sonos One's are about a second behind the Monitors. I guess my question is have I set that up right? If I haven't what should I do so all speakers are synced? If I have set up right

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.

I have a Sonos gen 1 playbar and 2 play 1s gen 1  the playbar is linked via fibre optic to a Samsung smart tv. The sound is really good 👍1st question. Do you think the addition of a gen 3 sub would be beneficial in a room approx 4metres x 4 metres to this setup?2nd question. What are the best settings on tv and Sonos to get 5.1 sound? Maybe arc into a hdmi / fibre optic converter or just fibre optic?what streaming apps work best for 5.1i guess this may have been asked before so apologies if so 😢Thank youMartin

3 options...just wondering what’s going to give me the best sound quality. Have Sonos ARC1) using Amazon Music HD through Sonos App. 2) using Airplay from iPhone to Sonos ArcUsing Amazon Music HD app on my LG TV

Would like some advice please. I have Virgin TiVo box with a beam 5.1 setup in my room. I also have a beam in my summerhouse. Now I am using this to send signal from my room the summerhouse.https://www.amazon.co.uk/Extender-Repeater-Function-Ethernet-Satellite-60M-RX-TX/dp/B00YC3BWL2/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=Hdmi+Extender+Splitter%2CeSynic+1080P&qid=1614509103&sr=8-3The picture and sound works great and even the remote works flawlessly. Only thing is I am only getting stereo 2.0 on both TVs with content that should be 5.1. Now I know this is the switch and I don’t mind it being in stereo 2.0 in the summerhouse if it is not possible over cat 7. But I would like the 5.1 setup back in the bedroom. Question is if there are any proven splitters out there that will work with the beam and sound will work at 5.1.thank you in advance 

I saw in the FAQ that the Move battery will last 900 charges or 3 years.    What if I mainly leave it on the charging tray and occasionally use it solely on battery?    Will the battery last longer than 3 years then?
