If using a sonos port connected to a pair of KRK active speakers can you control the volume? I have tested connecting a turntable direct to krk’s and they sound really nice. Trouble is volume on both is at the back and independent...

Perhaps i’m being dim here, but has Play Next been removed from the S2 app? In S1 I could press and hold a track and get a Play Next option, but that no longer works. has it been moved or removed?

I am trying to add music from my Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 to the Sonos Music Library, but when I enter the device name (by IP address), I get an error saying “The computer [IP address] refused to let the Sonos product connect to it”.How do I get Sonos to connect to the computer?Thanks.

Hi all:Version 0..2.0 of SoCo-CLI, the open source Sonos command line controller for Windows, macOS and Linux, is now available:https://github.com/avantrec/soco-cli/blob/v0.2.0/README.mdThis version adds improved speaker discovery, direct control of whether a device’s buttons are enabled, whether Trueplay is active (where applicable), and whether Fixed Volume is active for Port and Connect devices.These add to an already huge range of Sonos control functions accessible via the command line, for use in scripts and other automation scenarios.For those who prefer programming directly in Python, version 0.21 of the SoCo Python library also released today, with improved speaker discovery including the ability to discover and control multi-household systems.https://github.com/SoCo/SoCo/releases/tag/v0.21

I have read all of the info about battery level and I’m not see it on the app. In fact it looks for my system and there is no induction of my move nor it battery. I have an iPhone

When we have people over, we play Sonos in several rooms but not all. But every time I have to walk around and set the volume levels for each room. Through your app please make it so I can save and label different group and volume combinations. so that I am one click away from starting an event. Maybe this favorite is simply another labeled room with the ability to have default volume level. And one social event will require different grouped rooms and volumes than the other. So lets recap. (1) The ability to create permanent groupings of rooms. (2) The ability to set the starting volume levels for rooms and these configured groups of rooms. (3) and the ability to set the max volume of rooms and groups of rooms, I read this in another thread and someone with kids knows what I am talking about. Maybe this is not the forum to get support for this issue I am not sure the percentage of Sonos owners who actually use this forum, this is my first post and I am sure this is not the o

Professional install of amp for my garage speakers but the Sonos app shows a non-existent tv as a source and Alexa shows a tv there as well. Was the amp registered wrong or is it picking up another tv on my system? When I click on the tv source it says connection error. It also shows line in which works fine. Is there anyway to remove the tv source?

Can I set my WiFi network to 5ghz once I install a Sonos boost to work with the beam?

Anyone take the time to listen to some of the curated Sonos Presents channels? Likes? Dislikes? In general, except for The DP Songteller Radio, I have enjoyed them all in bits and pieces here in there. Enjoy a little bit of background and stories on why they picked the songs but not too much. A lot of music I hadn’t heard or normally wouldn’t listen to but enjoy none the less. I like the variety. Really enjoy the new D’Angelo & Third Man Records and the Brittany Howard was pretty good as well. Wish they would be longer as they start to recycle after a few hours. Right now Sound System is a tough listen to me as it is just way all over the board and I don’t have a schedule of what “show” or style of music is playing when. At least Apple Music 1 etc. has a schedule for you to see. My thoughts.

I just got a Sonos Beam soundbar for our living room and there seems to now be a slight delay on my game controllers for the Nintendo Switch. As soon as I disconnect the speaker it starts working like normal. Any ideas on how to fix this or why this is happening?

I returned the product in September, contacted customer service countless times since then, each time they said they would process my refund but they never did, what do I need to do to get the customer service I deserve and my money back? Evidently calling doesn't work.

Please help.  Sonos ARC - New Fire Cube - Projector.  I can play music through Alexa App from Cube to ARC.  What I can’t do is get sound from video.  I tried a splitter from my cube to projector and ARC, but no sound is coming from the ARC.  My projector has no ARC HDMI - the only output sound via old school audio cable.  I have a new Cube and new ARC and we can’t use them to watch TV.

Greetings. I purchased a VAVA 4K Projector recently as well as a Sonos Arc Soundbar and sub. As many have noted, there are prevalent lip sync issues with this setup which is slightly annoying to downright bothersome. Hoping to fix this, I purchased HDFURYs ARCANA which arrived yesterday, and wouldn't you know it I'm one HDMI short.  I am currently awaiting for it to arrive, however as there was no instructions with the ARCANA, I emailed support just to make certain I had everything I needed to fix this issue...to my chagrin they stated that VAVA has "issues" (no detail) with the Arcana and that it "would not work" to fix my audio problem. He stated I would need to purchase their proprietary "Vertex2" or "DIVA" with it to make it work...these cost over $400. Considering I've  dumped nearly $5000 on my current setup, I can't help but feel angry. Is this tech support person BSing just to get me to buy more of their products, or once I get the additional HDMI will I be fine? Thanks.

I have the sonos amp connected to ceiling speakers and the amp is in a different room. I connected the TOS-LINK from the TV to the Sonos AMP and it works great but I have no way to control the volume except for the Sonos App. The Amazon FireTV remote works via Bluetooth with PlayBars but that only works when it can reach the IR. I don't want to use an IR extended running another cable to the closet. The rack has 6 sonos amps in it and I don't want the issue or the IR controlling more than one box and also I don't want to run the IR cable. Is there any way to configure the Amazon Firestick to control the volume without IR?

Sonos has always been a good citizen when it comes to openness in smart homes: AirPlay 2 support was a key factor in my purchasing decision. However, as I build out and attempt to future proof my smart home, I’m looking for Thread support in my future buying decisions.The Thread protocol is aan IPv6-based, low-power mesh networking technology for IoT (Internet of Things) home automation products, intended to be secure and future-proof. It is supported by all the main smart home vendors.A vital part of the a Thread mesh network is the Border Router, which forwards data from the Thread mesh network to your home WiFi or Etnernet network. For best results there needs to be multiple Border Routers in a home (just like a mesh WiFi setup).Apple’s recently announced HomePod Mini includes Thread support and acts as a Border Router. It’s low cost makes it an ideal device for a Thread deployment.Question for Sonos:Is it possible to add Thread Border Router support to Sonos speakers via S2 softwar

So since I downloaded the new sonos control player, I've went from never having any issues at all, to constantly having intermittent issues with my speakers. The speaker will work fine for a few days, and then, usually on my mobile device, android, I get the message unable to connect to Sonos. Before anybody says, I've tried turning it on/off, I have lots of devices using my broadband, and I've changed providers since then and no other device has any issues what do ever. I recently reset my speaker, worked fine for a week until now, mid song. Since the update, it's basically bricked my speaker and all the help given seems to only work short term. It works while wired, bit I didn't want to pay for a premium system to have wires hanging everywhere so it's not really an acceptable alternative for me. Submitted a diagnostic report to Sonos but no reply. Shock. From a product that was used several hours a day to one that can only be used several times is a month is so disappointing. I was a

I plugged my One SL into a measuring device and see it seat at 3.9 watts when idle, which is a bit more than this support document advertises (3.4 watts). I have a pair so that’s about 8 watts, running 24/7 that makes about 6 kwh/month. It seems kind of wasteful to me for devices just sitting there doing nothing. Apple’s HomePod has a low power mode that make it run at 1.76 watts when idle. Surely Sonos can do better.I honestly wouldn’t mind if my device takes a bit longer to start when I get back to it. It’s not doing anything most of the time so saving power would seem to make the most sense. Hopefully Sonos can deliver something in a device update, even if it is an opt-in low power mode, I would gladly enable it.

Come on Sonos it’s 2021 some of us have wireless Beats 1 headphones some have Bose some have Sony etc let us have the option of listening to SONOS  RADIO privately at home or on the move especially as your investing in Artists having shows on Soundsystem etc  or consider releasing your own SONOS wireless Headphones  Anyone from the Sonos Development  Team wish to comment would be most welcomed   

Hi. My setup: Nvidia Shield-->hdmi-->Hisense 65” smart tv-->hdmi ARC-->Sonos amp.With “passtrugh setting” on TV menu audio I can ear sound from my speaker with Kodi app but when I try to start Netflix app the sound go away.Same issue with Diney+.I try to test all setting on Shield, but I can’t solve the problem.There’s some way to fix this issue?Thanks in advance.

I have a lot of sonos products.  I've been using the play bar, sub, and play 1 surrounds for many years.  I upgraded the play bar for the arc.  I find that the dialog is harder to hear.  I tried every sound setting combination the app has to no avail.  I kept turning the volume up to hear speech,  and down when the other sounds got too loud.  I hated the volume up and down game so I went back to my play bar and the dialog is so much better.  Also, I don't own any apple products so don't recommend calibration., not going to happen.   Sonos please fix this in a firmware update. If not I'll going to have to get a different soundbar with HDMI connections that has good dialog performance. I researched best dialog bars on rtings and the sonos arc is very low on the list, the play bar is much higher.  Why does the dialog suffer on the arc??

My app consistently gets an error when opening, sometimes connects and often then drops the connection once music is playing. It does this on theee different iPhones. I have reset the Play 1, Re booted the router, checked MAC addresses match on the router but it still happens. Is it just a completely useless app as this has been going on for a year and forums seem to all have the same issue?

I have a Cambridge Topaz CD10 CD player. With the old Sonos 1 amp, this worked perfectly. However, it does not show up on the Sonos 2 app. I suspect this is due to cable connection problems. Neither the existing cable nor an RCA cable I ordered from Sonos makes the right connection: the cable jacks do not make a sufficient connection in the amp input sockets.

Hi,It would be great if one could create a library of favorite albums from different sources (local NAS, streaming services) and access them in a structured manner. For example like the music library, via genre, artist etc. or at least via a self-created folder structure or tags. Regards, Robert
