Is there any sonic benefit to placing my sub-mini on stand and getting it off the floor?

I’d like to use Sonos to provide surround sound effect when streaming films via my iMac. How do I connect more than one speaker to the iMac, please? (2 x move, beam, to start with).  Thanks

I just bought a pair of Era 100’s from Costco and paired them with my AppleTV. Right now I can only control the speakers with the app on my phone. Is it possible to pair them with the AppleTV remote? When I try it wants me to use the Sonos remote to learn to pair but the Era 100’s don’t come with a remote.

I'd like help/support from the community. I currently have a Sonos amp system connected to two Era 300s and a Sub 3. I use this setup connected to a turntable. The sound quality is really good, and I'm very satisfied. But I have a large CD collection that my daughter wants to listen to, and I'm thinking about it in acquiring a CD player. I've been thinking about how to integrate it into the system without having to use the option to connect/disconnect the devices when using them. My best option, in my opinion, is to connect both the turntable and the CD player to a receiver.My question is whether I can connect the receiver to the Sonos amp or if it requires some other accessory. 

I’m buying a project turntable through Sonos and want to confirm that it will connect through my arc soundbar

How does my wife get her youtube music and podcasts on our sonos system that I’ve setup in my name an my youtube music account? 

Hi all Simple question, if I connect a CD player via say an Erra 100 with the adaptor cable, will this play through all my speakers on the system or just through the connected one.TIA 

On my Sonos app (of course I use the last version), I don’t see “Google Assistant” for my Roam 2 in the menu “add assistant”. Alexa is listed, but not Google. Is it no more possible to use it ?(I also have a Sonos Beam, and Google is still listed on the assistant menu…)So with a Roam 2, no more Google ? Thank you. 

Hi everyone,we’ve been updating our showroom and wanted to bring in some background music to create a more welcoming atmosphere for customers while they browse. We’re considering Sonos because of the easy app control and flexibility, but we’re not sure which setup would work best in a medium-sized showroom with separate display areas.Has anyone here used Sonos in a shop, showroom, or similar business space? We’d love recommendations on which speakers to start with, how well they handle continuous daily use, and whether grouping different zones is simple enough for staff to manage. Any tips from real-world experience would be a huge help.Thanks in advance! Moderator Note: Modified in accordance with the Community Code of Conduct

I am experimenting with using YouTube music as my music app (since so many of my favorite artists are leaving Spotify). However, I noticed I can’t seem to set YouTube playlists from my library as my alarms, even if the playlist is public. I can find and play them in the main page, but not for the alarm. as a side note, I miss the old alarm functionality. So much nicer to find playlists

Alexa not working on beam 2 in India. Sonos ignoring Indian customers.

I posted this on Reddit today, no responses yet.I was watching the Today Show this morning when they mentioned that Dolly Parton was postponing her Vegas residency due to health concerns; (get well Dolly!) Suddenly, my system muted TV audio and music started playing rather loudly-you guessed it-Dolly Parton! System is a Beam (g2) Sub 4 and 2 One's as surrounds. I have had Alexa devices respond when they "heard" a wake word from a TV program but this is a first for me with Sonos. No wake word preceded this playing of the music.Upon checking recently played, it was an Apple Music station that was created for Dolly Parton. Not an existing or favorite. Any ideas are appreciated.

Hi everyonemy wish would Be to play my old vinyl turn table with my sonos speakers. what should I do? 

Hi all, i have bought Sonos Arc ultra. I have been using only AirPlay so far. I have a standard projector and Apple TV. And I wanted to know if I get Sonos Amp would i be able to get Dolby Atmos output ?  please note the projector doesn’t support HDMI Arc output. It’s just a standard HDMI connection 

When trying to adjust the distance on surround sound feature, it will not allow you to adjust. It’s not highlighted like normally. 

It is not a network issue. Have actually had a professional in to check everything out. New update has left app unable to function on Android devices. Apple iPad functioning very well. Why can't you people leave things alone. After last year's debacle, I thought all that crap was behind us, but once again. Final straw for me.

I’m just wondering why I went through the trouble of adding all of my downstairs speakers to a zone, but now I can’t add the sub to any speaker nor to the zone. This seems… silly. Please explain the logic.

I can no longer access Newstalk radio (Ireland) on my Sonos system. selecting the station either under Tunein or via Sonos radio just plays the intro adverts in a constant loop… FRUSTRATING!!

I have a 5.1 receiver with a connect amp connected to listen to music through the  receivers speakers.  I have a new kitchen with 3 dual channel ceiling speakers.  I’d like to be able to listen to music through the existing 5.1 system as well as the new dual channel speakers.(x3). This might be a simple fix, but I’m not sure how to add these new speakers, as each speaker takes 2 channels for the stereo experience. (L n R x 2). Another receiver?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  McMac 

Setting up a Yoga Studio and need a system that can handle using a microphone and listen to music at the same time. What is a good setup for this?

As a long term Sonos user I recently purchased an Era 300 to replace old Ones. The sound quality is excellent when playing music, radio, etc. however the Alexa voice is way too quiet. If I increase the volume to better hear Alexa the music becomes too loud. Is there anyway around this problem? Jim

I manage my local music with Apple Music.  I then copy the entire music directory to a NAS so that the tracks are always available.  In the past, Sonos could harvest the playlists out of the .muscilibrary database but that recently stopped working.Is this a know bug?  Is there a work around?  I’ve attempted to use .xml and/or .m3u playlists as a tactical solution but Sonos flat out ignores the .xml files and the .m3u files show up as playlists but the list itself is empty.Thanks for any guidance.Charles.

I have simple setup where my Sony TV is connected to a set of Klipsch speakers as the main audio output, and I also have an Amp which is connected to the speakers. I noticed that when I listen to Spotify on the tv/speakers, the sound is much louder and clearer than if I played it directly from the app and amp. Does anyone know why? This is puzzling me since if anything I should expect better quality from the amp. TIA!

So I checked the app and the speaker is listed. But the same is pretty much true for Alexa and Siri so why should I expect more from Sonos?
