Spaces & Setups

I got a Play 5 recently and have been trying to play from my record player on it via aux, I'm currently living in the dorms at uni and am unable to connect to wifi to enable auto-play. I only want to use my speaker through my aux so I refuse to spend $50 on a travel router and never use it, my last option I believe is to use my hotspot from my phone to get the speaker setup and on autoplay so I can listen through aux but it hasn't been working and fails to connect and I need help getting it setup through hotspot. Thanks

What is the difference between Sonos ARC and Sonos ARC SL (shadow edition) 

I’m powering two outdoor Speakercraft One speakers and would like to connect an outdoor sub with the connect amp.  Does any have a suggestion of an outdoor subwoofer that pairs well with the connect amp?Thanks!

As the title states, are there any Sonos products with a coaxial input?

Hi. How and what is the best way to connect Sonos Connect to an A/V Processor ? Do I need to use TOSLINK® optical audio cable or a digital coaxial cable ? How to use the Processor’s DAC  ( Not the Sonos ) to hear best Audio as my Processor is preferred.  I am adding my A/V Back panel , Don't know where to connect the cables.  Thank you.

I am redoing my garage and have an HD Projector mounted in the ceiling, sent to a 110” screen.  Previously, I had hard wired speakers through my AVR, playing content from my FireCube.  I purchased a new port and 2 new SL1s so that I could get rid of ALL the speaker cables for my 7.1 Setup.  I know im sacrificing surround sound capability for ease, but I’m OK with that.  I just can’t get sound to play through my new speakers.  Any suggestions? Current setup:HDMI OUT of Fire Cube toHDMI IN - Sony AVR Video Mono Audio OUT to Sonos Port In. Help!>!?! Thank you! SCarolina Man 

I use the SONOS app on iOS.  When i deselect a speaker they all stop playing music or whatever and the app freezes and is unusable.  Any suggestions or help would be useful.  I had this system as it is supposed to be flexible etc and should not have to reboot the router or whole system every time i want to stop playing sound from a speaker.

My wife has some hearing problems.  We have an Arc and still most of the time she has trouble hearing the dialogue.  One of the problems may be that we sit very far away from the tv.  I am now considering another Sonos for the table situated next to her. Hopefully something small and out of the way.  What would you reccomend? Would this even help the situation? 

Hello all,I’m looking to improve the sound in my golf simulator room by using some of my spare Sonos play 1 speakers which I was hoping to link to my Denon 3700H AVR. I would be obliged if someone could take a look at the connections on the back of the AVR and advise whether this can be connected to a Sonos Port or similar and indeed how I would do so? Many thanks in advance. 

I use a Nest Hub to play music on one of my Sonos speakers. I have three speakers on my main floor. I cannot seem to get the the Nest Hub, which uses Google Home, to play on more than one speaker at at time. That forces me to open my phone and then add the other two speakers to the playing speaker. Is there anyway to fix this?

Amazon UHD subscription. In the Amazon app , when I select UHD music to play, on my S2 app ‘Now Playing’ doesn’t show any information regarding the format playing via the Arc.

Hi guys, I have an issue with my Sonos arc with DTS audio, for example when playing a Harry Potter movie I have to change the settings to PCM in the bd player, and then the audio then works but it's only in stereo PCM which is a bit rubbish. My Samsung TV is only a couple of years old, but only has arc, not e-arc. The TV can handle dolby digital plus from what I can see in the TV settings. I tested with a Dolby Atmos movie played via Plex (TV Plex app), and the Sonos app said atmos, so it does seem to be able to cope with it. I also tested a DTS-HD movie in Plex, and I got sound, but Sonos app said it was Dolby Digital 5.1, which is weird. ​​​​Why can the Arc not handle DTS HD audio from my bluray player?​​​​​​I tried a new hdmi cable to a brand new 2.1 version, same issues. Lastly, my Disney+ app will only show 5.1 audio as well. When playing Netflix Dolby movies, app says DD 5.1 plus. Any advice appreciated!   

Hi. The Connect Amp Gen 1 is cheap used by me.I have a good pair of JBL speakers, and several Sonos One and Play. rather than pairing (software, outdated) can I just run and Ethernet cable out of my Sonos One into a Connect Amp Gen 1 Ethernet port? And then the Amp can power the two speakers? thanks!

I have previously used the Amazon Prime Music service but have now taken up the offer of a free 3 month trial of Amazon Unlimited which offers 90 million songs, many of which are HD. My question is if my Sonos system of Soundbridge 100 and Zoneplayer 90 can handle the HD tracks. Also, is there any way in the Sonos app of seeing if a track is standard or HD ?

Hi I hope I get an answear now. When will voice services be able in Chile? If not please let me know because I want to by more products but only if I'm going g to be able to use them fully

My Arc/Sub 1/rear Ones system used to work fine but now I can’t connect the rears. I’ve reset Ones and tried the suggestions in related posts. I was able to get the rears going without the rest of the system, but when I remove then Set Up Surrounds they won't play. Once they played for a second and then quit. They automatically assume the identity of Living Room 2 and Living Room 3, while they should both be subsumed in my Living Room (+Sub, Arc) system.The Ones, Five (new), and Beam 1 in other rooms work fine. I’ve had Sonos for years and have always been able to trouble shoot problems, but I’m at the end on this one.

The Problem:I have been trying to add a separate headset to be able watch TV later at night. I bought a and tried to add two different headsets, one BT and the latest one has its own base that BT back to the headset and the base connects to the TV via Optical output. The issue that is occurring is that when I select the Audio as Optical, it momentarily will turn on and then turn off with the Sonos System turning back onI have set this System up on (2) different TV’s which leads me to conclude a control issue with the SONOS Sound Bar itself. First the system:Sonos - Beam (Gen 2), Sonos - One (Gen 2)(2ea), Sonos - Sub (Gen 3) Connected to: LG - 77" Class C1 Series OLEDThere must be a way to allow another external sound system, ie headset, to work and put Sonos into ‘stand-by mode’Any help would be appreciated. 

So the PC hosting my Sonos libraries died and I’ve had to reinstall my music on a new computer/Server which has a different name.   But the playlists have the old server name in the the path/source file info.  How do I fix the playlists I’ve created so that they will find the music in the new PC/folder.   For example, when I try to play my playlist it will say:\\OLDPC\Music\thriller.wav is missingI now need the playlist to  point to \\NEWPC\Muisc\thriller.wav in order to solve the problem.If I can’t edit the playlists I will have to spend an incredible time rebuilding them.Thanks!J

Often you party ends on max and that is not what you want the next morning ;o)

When I view albums through my music library track numbers 2 to 11 are missing?Any ideas why this is happening? 

Hello, I’ve done some searching and just wanted validate if I’m correct in my thinking.  We are doing a full reno and I’m looking to put Sonos In-Ceiling into our main floor. I was curious on the following: I understand that I can put 6 Architect speakers connected to ONE Sonos AMP.  I know that those 3 pairs/6 speakers can only play ONE source of music.  With this setup, however, can I independently control the volume to different zones?  For context.  I have an open concept first floor.  I wanted to put one pair in the kitchen, one pair in the living room and one pair in the dining room ceilings.  I’m trying to figure out how I can (Most cost effectively) control those 3 rooms volume independently...ideally from the app, like I do my Sonos 1’s. I’m ok with the fact I can only play one source of music from this setup.It seems like I can’t control volume independently between the 3 pairs without installing a analog dial on the wall.  I’m hoping I’m wrong.     Thank you in advance.  

I am using an old Soundbridge 100 and Zoneplayer 90 system, which Sonos system would give an improvement is sound quality ?
