Spaces & Setups

After exhaustive troubleshooting, I’ve narrowed the issue down to the 3.5mm Line Out from my Optoma UHZ50 being the culprit.  Setup: Optoma UHZ50 Projector sending audio to Sonos Amp via 3.5mm “Audio Out”. The wire is one-sided on the UHZ50 side, then has a red and black end which plug into my Sonos Amp. My Amp powers to Definitive Tech DI-8R Ceiling Speakers.  The issue: One of the two speakers is very low, static, and simply sounds bad. I tried troubleshooting everything - new speaker wire, different banana plugs, even swapped the speaker (I have 4 and 2 are in box) and even tried a different Sonos Amp (I have 2, one is still in box). Nothing fixed the issue, so the only thing left to try was replacing the 3.5mm cable, so I went ahead and swapped that (I also have two of those) and the issue persists, but if I flip the Red / Black the opposite speaker has the problem. Basically the “Left” speaker out on the Amp is the problem when I have the “Red input in the red plug and the black i

Hi i just get a sonos beam 2, what do you recommend to bought first the sub mini or the One SL pair?

Hi AllI have a Sony PS-HX500 turntable with built in pre amp. I currently have it running through an old amp and speakers which works well but I would  prefer to be able to stream to the Sonos speakers I have in rooms around the house (a mixture of Beam, One, One SL, and Move) so I could listen to it anywhere. I’ve read so many articles but am still confused as to what would work and what would be best. The Port looks to fit the bill, but some reviews don’t seem great as regards sound quality. The Amp looks to fit the bill, and looks to have better reviews, but is obviously quite a bit more expensive. Both seem to offer functionality I don’t think I need.  For what I want would either of these be better than the other, or is there a different solution in the Sonos range? I’d be interested to hear views from people who have either, or have found a different solution. TIA

I want to purchase a Sonos amp to connect to 2 wired outdoor speakers and add 2 portable outdoor wireless sonus speakers! What sonus device  should I purchase and does it have to speaker inputs to use both?

Before Christmas I had telephone discussions about why having the above S2 and Mac OS combination  the former says it finds Sonos on my network but on clicking ‘lets connect’ eventually says Not Connected - Your Sonos Product was not found. I was told a solution is being worked on.Can anyone tell me when this issue is expected to be sorted (by Sonos or Apple)?Given my investment in Sonos and Apple products this is frustrating and I had expected a fix by now.Fortunately, my Sonos system remains usable via my mobile AppHelp!

Buen día comunidad Sonos , el sistema Sonos Beam 2 Gen  cuando esta sin uso siempre queda con los led encendidos o  hay algún método para apagarlos , o el sistema necesita estar siempre en espera? Gracias 

I have a SONOS Move and there are two people in the house who use it.  We have individual Spotify accounts, and I want us to be able to log in separately.  Last week I was listening to spotify on my earbuds and she tried to listen on the SONOS and my playlist kept taking over the SONOS unit.  How can I avoid this? 

Buyed my Roam the  01/07/2021, worked good except for the sound stuttering constantly when scrolling Youtube on my phone.Now the product is completly unusable, turns itself off after a few minutes for no reasons, sometimes lower the volume despite having no volume limitation in the settings (happens with both my phone and computer).I tried doing the reset, changing settings like the surround or autoconnection but nothing worked.App is up to date, account connected, there’s no voice assistant linked.I sent a report after the shut down and restart so you guys can check what’s going on inside : 978345758 

I have a Harmony remote.  It controls all 'smart' gear and Sonos, but it's not fun to use. I think Sonos should enter and take over this market.  There are no competitors that are significant. Please consider it!

Hi All I wanted to make you aware of an experience I am having with both Sonos and Samsung. I am on my second Samsung tv (replacement q95t) and the following letter to CEO’s of both companies should explain. Be interesting to know if any members of this community are aware or have experienced these issues. Dear Patrick/Sang Ho Jo gwi-ha   Apologies for the direct approach, however I must make you aware of a situation with regards to two of your companies top consumer products.   I have been a loyal purchaser of both Samsung and Sonos products for a number of years now, and most recently have purchased your Sonos Arc Soundbar and Samsung Q95T television products.   On receipt of these products, I have noticed a compatibility issue between the two aforementioned products around the eARC connectivity. Simply put, once eARC is enabled on the Samsung device, no sound is transmitted via the Sonos Arc. Once Disabled however, sound is apparent.   From a samsung perspective, I have been iss

We have a surround system in the living room comprising a Playbar, 2x Play:5s and a Sub.  I realise that Line In is disabled on the Fives in this mode.  However, if I buy an additional Play:Five to hook up to a turntable via its own Line In, can I still add it as a separate Room, and therefore broadcast to other speakers throughout the house? And if so, would either generation Five work?I don’t really want to go to the expense of adding a Port or Amp, but any other/better suggestions welcome! Thanks in advance (Please be kind to a newbie :-)

I am getting distortion from my Move speakers with my Audio Technica turntable (has a preamp)Connection>AT turntable >Sonos Port (Line In) > Move x2    (Wireless connection)Also have to turn volume up to + 50 just to get a normal level  any suggestions?

I can't group my Sonos Move to my Sonos 5 pair, is it possible?

Have has Sonos for 10 years with almost zero issues until the last year, but clearly because I have original Sonos 5 speakers I guess Sonos is just trying to screw my investment in their company! Over the last year about every couple of months we end up not being to play anything over speakers…Sonos app can detect all the speakers, just will NOT connect! I guess the only way to keep customers these days is to disrupt original product and try and make you purchase another $10 in product…if this is how this company (that I told everyone I knew to buy if they were in the market) and now just a sellout to corporate greed and shareholder vs good product and customer service…if only companies would look again at good products and customer service vs short term $$, but I guess that’s what investors are looking for these days and not caring about the customer is where it’s at!

How to use a Sonos Beam AND a Sennheiser headset with a new LG Smart TV.Many hard-of-hearing people use a Sennheiser wireless headset when they watch TV. (I use a Sennheiser RS 120-W.) These headsets allow a hard-of-hearing person to have their TV volume turned up high, while other people in the room can listen through regular speakers at a lower volume. A problem arises when a Sonos Beam user purchases a LG Smart TV (one of the most popular Smart TVs on the market). When a Sennheiser headset is plugged into a LG TV’s optical port (or any other LG TV audio port), the Sonos Beam simply stops working; other people in the room can no longer hear sound from the Beam. (They can only hear sound from the inferior LG Smart TV speakers.)(There’s a quick solution for cable subscribers, but I found it to be unacceptable. The earphone jack on the back of cable boxes has a place where headphones may be plugged in. This creates a real delay in sound (lip-sync issues) which I found to be supremely an

TLDR: What is the best way to enjoy albums given you already have an Arc and Sub? I have an arc and sub in our media room.  I’ve recently gotten a port to attach our turntable, and am wondering about getting a more expansive sound.  Broadly speaking, could I expect a pair of fives facing me, or a pair of ones behind me set up in a surround system to offer a better experience?  I’m wondering if a pair of surrounds behind me would offer the same kind of stereo experience as speakers facing you, and if the sub and or arc would work with the fives, i.e. would I be losing bass if I ran the turntable through the fives.  

The app works so bad it is unbelievable.How can a major company get away with this?The Apple music so called integration works really really bad! Any plans for a new ?

Hello, I have a client with two 70v in each of their restrooms that are run in series. We originally planned on using the Sonos speakers but were unaware of what’s currently there. Am I able to power 4 QSC AD-C6T speakers as shown below? Thank you in advance! I’m guessing that may run into issues with the fact that the output is stereo and that a Port is a better option but was hoping to not have to change our order. Thank you!   

I have had various home theatre options over the years, starting with a Yamaha standalone amp with Mission speakers and for the last year LG SN11RG with Atmos etc. I very rarely notice any real movement of sound with perhaps the occasional tinkle from the rear speakers. My TV room has a chimney breast with an alcove to the left of the TV, a door to the right, textured ceiling above and an RSJ across the bay window where I  normally sit to watch TV. Am I ever likely to experience moving sound. I have heard Sonos arc in a shop and it sounded great - but in my experience the room has more effect on the perceived surround sound than the speakers. Is there a way of loaning or renting the Sonos Arc to try out and see if its any better than what I have. My existing system sounds excellent specially for films with dolby Atmos but I am guessing a  Sonos arc with a sub would probably sound at least as good. I do not want to purchase the Sonos only to find its not that different to what I already

I’ve recently bought Sonos Beam and I’m very impressed by the Sonos app and its built-in services – super easy for me and my family to start playing some fav radio station or music streaming. Anyway, I have a Homekit-based smart home (incl. Homebridge) with scenes and automations working smoothly together. I was sure I can easily integrate the speaker to this eco-system (since it’s added to Homekit using Airplay 2). But the thing is… it works nicely when playing something with Airplay – at that time I can pause the music easily from HK. But though I cannot integrate the speaker to be paused/stopped using the “Shut off” scene (which turns off all unnecessary devices when I’m leaving home or going to sleep). Basically, if I play something using Sonos app, the Sonos speaker is Home stays as turned off and says “not playing”.Is there any way to easily integrate the Sonos speakers with Homekit in a way that music played through the Sonos app can be paused/stopped? I saw a few Homebridge plu

Hello community  I’m moving to a new house and planning to upgrade my sound system maybe to a somos 5.1.2 on my living room. The issue I’m facing i use a onkyo receiver 656 and many inputs connected to it and tv and projector on the output. With somos the sound bar just have one hdmi and I need to both tv and projectors working. I’ve spend sometime doing research but couldn’t find anything simple to. Does anyone has the same problem or have the solution for it?thanks in advance for any help.

I got a Beam + 2 One SLs to hook up to my JVC TV.The system sounds great but it simply would not wake up when the TV was switched on.  All the HDMI CEC and TV Autoplay settings were correct etc.  Only thing I could do to get it awake was reboot the TV each time (or unplug / replug the HDMI cable).  Not ideal.But I think I’ve found a fix.Also attached to the TV (by HDMI) is a Sky Q box and an old DVD player (never used but using an HDMI port all the same) so, in the name of experimenting, I moved the Sky box from HDMI1 to HDMI3 (my eARC port is HDMI2 which obviously is where the Sonos is patched) and unplugged the DVD player completely.And now the Sonos system springs to life when I take the TV off standby.
