Spaces & Setups

Has anyone figured out how to get Pandora Modes (e.g. Deep Cuts, Discovery, Energy, etc.) working in the new Sonos iOS app?   I’ve found several year-old locked conversations on this topic.  None have any real solutions.  Some blame Pandora for the problem - which I’m not buying because I also use the Sonos app for Mac and Pandora Modes work just fine. (See below.)  So Pandora’s APIs work. While we are at it - I’ve closed the “Alexa AWS October 20 Outage” notification banner 15 times while writing the few sentences above.  Way to go Sonos: keep reminding us of how your software is constantly broken - and how you focus on your needs instead of your customers…. but I digress.    

Ace swap back feature not holding last volume. Have to go use phone to set volume  back to where it was before swapping. Using feature control on headphones is reason i bought the ace headphones!!! And also find it annoying to have to turn down the ray when I switch back Whats up sonos?????

I saw Qobuz was compatible with the app and never considered this would be separate from the very critical voice commands feature. So happy with the speakers but can't help but be disappointed about this. Is this on the horizon?

Hi. I have a Netatmo Smart Video Doorbell and had it connected to my Sonos speaker. I got a message via the speaker every time someone rang the door. But it stopped working. I have tried resetting/rebootingthe doorbell and taken it off Apple Home and reinstalling. I can now see it in Home (and it alters me on my phone when someone arrives, but I can’t find the doorbell when I try to automate a connect with Sonos via Home’s “New Automation” and “An Accessory is Controlled” option. Which other help instructions said would connect up the Netatmo with Sonos. Does anyone have advice on how to make this connect?

I’m unsure whether the Beam or Arc would be better for my apartment. I don’t want to bother my neighbors. My living room is about 15 feet wide (though one side only has a partial wall with the kitchen extending another 10 feet, if that matters for sound wave reflection). My couch is about 8 feet from the tv. The room extends another 12 feet beyond that, where I have a dining room table. There is another 10 foot room after that to reach the wall I share with my neighbor. The wall the tv is on is at the end of the building, so no neighbor there, nor above me. If possible, since it’s one big room, I would like to also use the soundbar for background music while sitting at the dining room table. Given the large extra cost if I get the Arc, I’m unlikely to get anything else; if I get the Beam, I’d consider a couple Era 100s for rear speakers (not sure if those could be used as regular speakers for the dining table when not using them for a movie).  I’m not an audiophile, so I’m not sure the

Am I right in  thinking that Sonos Play1 can be used in separate rooms but not as surround speakers with arc ultra sound bar? Connected using wifi not Airplay 

Hi! I’ve bought a new TV (Samsung Q7Fa) which doesn’t have an optical out. I’ve read that I need a HDMI ARC to Optical adapter/converter. I also wan’t to be able to control the playbar volume with the TV remote. Does anyone have a suggestion for an adapter that will work? Thanks in advance! 

Recently replaced our standard TV with HD projector in our living room.  Looking for speakers that would provide a surround sound and at a loss in comparing the Sonos products.  Anyone have Sonos they use with their home projector? 

I have an Arc with two SL1s I see that Sonos have specials for the large woofer. My question is which is the most compatible for Arc. I understand that Sub 4 is best for Arc Ultra but mine is the first gen Arc. Also Costco have Sub 3  special price of $779 and Sonos have Sub 4 for $719. I assume the more I add on the greater the home theatre experience is. 

Bonjour je vais acheter une arc ultra et je me demande si il y a besoin d'effectuer un rodage ? Merci d'avance.

I have two Sonos One speakers, along with a Sub Mini, that I use to listen to music in a medium-size bedroom while I lie in bed, the speakers positioned on either side of the bed, at the head of the bed. I just bought two ERA 100 speakers. My original idea was to just replace the Ones, but it occurred to me that I might get a fuller sound using all four speakers. Should I use the ERA 100s as my main speakers and the Ones as additional? Should the ERAs be at my head, and the Ones at the other end of the room, or the Ones at my head like surround sound and the ERAs at the other end of the room? Thanks!

Why does the Sonos Beam Gen2 increases Sony Bravia TV volume by 2 levels instead of 1?How can I fix this? Please help.

I want to buy era200.   Aim is to upgrade. However price no different with Black Friday deals doing an upgrade.  Is there any point buying as an upgrade.  Can you combine discounts. Thanks

Can I conect lg subwoofer without soundbar to sonos amp 

I listen to music occasionally ; thinking of ERA 100 to replace Gen 1 in my den. I have another Gen1 on my outdoor patio that will remain. Would I hear a difference? 

hi quick question as novice. Im buying a new tv and sound system for tv and audio for new open plan room. Being old i assumed i needed to provide an inset in the wall and provided a space 8cm deep big enough for 65 inch tv and sound bar.  I was talking to richer sounds and realise the tv are only 11mm deep so thought as they had  a deal on samsung 77 95 id put it over hole. they said i could put a sonos sound bar unnderneath resting on the inset. this would mean the sound bar stuck out 2cm from the tv. Richer sounds said this would be fine s speakers on the front. But reading install sonos says needs 100mm above bar, i would want to make this minimum i could as gap between two would show the inset and might look strange. Also they said if i bought the arc it could play the music for the room aswell, the room is approx 10m long 6m wide and tv just off middle of width wall. The other option is to go with tvs sound bar (free at moment with tv)   and put in seperate eras for music, Any sug

Songs with accents or special characters in the titles missing on Sonos Controller App when imported from a playlist on macOS.For Windows users I found this topic that will give you more information about this problem. For those who are on the macOS side here’s the way I used to fix it. I’m running macOS12 « Monterey » but it should work with many mores. My Sonos Controller is 17.2 and the Sonos OS is S2. First create *m3u file and locate the songs in the playlist with a text editor. I use TextEdit but you can choose whatever floats your boat. Depending on the app you used to create the playlist (I use Mp3tag) you’ll find the path of the songs as: /Users/polo/Music/Jean Jacques Goldman/En Public/CD1/Pas l'indifférence.mp3Where polo is my username. Now we have to modify the path of each song in the playlist to be accessed by the Sonos Controller app as follows: In macOS the url location doesn’t (at least for me) work like in Windows. I’ve found that you have to change it with the name s

Hi guys! I recently bought a pair of era 300 mainly to listen to music. With Roku's app I can stream the audio to the pair and it works good. However I am missing some of that 5.1 experience because Bluetooth from Roku is kinda limited. So I was thinking of adding a soundbar to the system. Will the era300 full functions be too limited if I pair it with a beam? Will it work as 5.1 system anyway, with Dolby Atmos? Also: to hear music I have to create a different system within the Sonos app? Read some stuff about this here in this forum and got only more confused

So i own 2 Play:1s. And the one downstairs is fine, and works normally, The one upstairs (the one that’s having issues), works fine in the sonos app, but on alexa, it still said device offline. So i looked it up, and found that i could deregister it from my alexa account, then add it back, however when i add a speaker, it doesn’t find it during the search.  

set up , totally new to this , just moved house and ceilings are full of speakers , probably 15 years old , lots of ends coming out walls , what do i need to get them to work

I’ve been using Sonos devices since long and I’ve always preferred to wire them because, well, I wire everything whenever possible (less radio noise, more reliable, some rooms don’t have good wifi signal, etc). I’m saddened to discover that the new models force me to buy extra adapters (I suppose other not-Sonos adapter won’t work) just to connect the home speakers to the ethernet network. It’s actually extra annoying because Amazon don’t sell them and the Sonos store don’t deliver to freighter services (as Amazon does) so I can’t get them where I live (Dominican Republic).If you know other shops who sell the combo adapter please let me know, thanks. 

I want to move eras around for other purposes, like playing music without the full surround set up. is it possible to create a duplicate living room where eras are not set up in surround?

I just bought a Sonos Arc refurb for a good price and it has not shipped yet...the Arc is a little bit "old" now haha. Anything I might be missing out on? I just use my TV with an nvidia Shield Pro and will use the Arc with the eARC port on my TV. Nothing too fancy in terms of use, just a PLEX library and some streaming services.Also I see that only Apple iOS is supported for their room configurations. I do not use Apple products. Am I missing out much by not being able to set up the speakers and map the room so to speak with an iOS device?I am using a 65” LG G5 OLED. Bedroom setup, I opted to not get the subwoofer.Thanks :)

Brand new speaker, Alexa seems to work for everything except controlling the smart home. It just says it can’t find a device or group with that name. System is updated, and I’ve tried disconnecting and reconnecting Alexa from the speaker.Thanks!
