Spaces & Setups

Hello. I've always used traditional passive speakers with an integrated amplifier, but recently, I've become fascinated by wireless speakers. While browsing online, I was drawn to the Sonos Five, and I'm considering purchasing a pair. However, today I came across numerous negative reviews about the Sonos app for Android, citing issues such as connectivity problems, volume control malfunctions, and more. For me, these issues would be unacceptable in a wireless speaker. I’ve read that some of these problems have been fixed, but when spending over 1000 euros on a pair of Fives, I expect a stable connection and a fully functional Android app. What’s the situation like in 2025 according to your experience?

Hi I have a play 5 gen2 that is dead ”no light, no sound, nothing”When I disassemled the speaker and took out the powerboard pcb it has 3 big resistors that was BURNED ”R2483, R2482, R2496” And futher inspection I saw other components that was burned ”R12”, R106, R108, D3, U2, Mosfet transistor So I started to investigate what these components does and what values it has, I searched in this forum, groups on facebook and other forums but only found the value of ”R2483, R2482, R2496,R108” And the mosfet transistor got text on it so I could identify it The rest of components I took help of chatGPT to find values of, arter HOURS of talk with it and many datasheets  -R2483, R2482, R2496 is 0,3 OHM | 0,5W | 1206 Format | Current sensing resistor-Mosfet is a 65E6600 (Main switching mosfet)-U2 is a NCP1937B1G | A controller IC to controll the gate of the mosfet with PWM trought pin 14-R12 is calculated to 0,36 OHM | Current sensing resistor | 0,125W | 0402 Format-R106 is calculated to be betwe

Which TVs support automatic lip sync with the ARC Ultra. (I just bought the Arc Ultra and now I am trying to buy a TV to fit it! The contenders WERE the 98” Samsung, Sony, LG and TCLs. None support anything other than “Manual” sync adjustment --- Bad solution, lip sync is different on every network, channel and device.I am a perfect customer: Sonos Arc Ultra first, now go find a TV! Please support my support! Post a list.Instead of working backward one TV at a time, can you supply a list of the above and then I will buy one.I am going on about 20 hours of research, not 1 TV claims that Automatic Lip Sync is a feature supported. Don’t use CoPilot for this question! It is the first time that I have seen CoPilot get a question of mine wrong!!!

Hi all, I have a google assistant set up on my system and it looks like I can broadcast from my Move and Roam but I can’t here the broadcasts from them. I’ve tried setting up the ‘default music speaker’ under the sonos app which then loads up the google assistant app.  But it doesn’t work.Is there something I’ve missed?

I can't link my Sonos to alexa 

Hello dear community.I am coming from a full Beam 2 setup with Ones and Sub 3. Got Ultra a week ago and would like to share a few thoughts/questions. I will not get into the details but had to sell my full Beam setup some time ago and Ultra standalone is my new toy :) Has OG Arc always been so “trebly”?Treble on the Ultra seems to be very pronounced. Depends on the content of course but sometimes it is almost sibilant with Trueplay or not. For reference - i just got single Era 300, put it in the same room, same place. I had to dial treble on the Ultra to - 6 for it to sound like Era 300 on defaults. Don’t get me wrong i love treble and i even add a few notches on my car stereo but this is excessive. My room is not an echo chamber either.Does adding a Sub and full set of rears help with sound signature on the Arc?This is very surprising, never had it with Beam.Trueplay.Quick tune is awesome, really. Rounds up Ultra, tightens up the bass, all good. But Advanced sounds awful. My MLP is ag

Alexa wont connect to .amazon on sonos..wasted the day ininstalling and reinstalling apps and sonoscleft me high and dry saying the fault lay with amazon.. still doesnt work.. come on Sonos sort this

Le service Radio France est enregistré et les stations fonctionnent mais le contrôle vocal ne fonctionne pas depuis quelques jours.  Le message demandé d’enregistrer le service Radio France (déjà fait) puis passe sur du bruit blanc….  une mention similaire d’un autre utilisateur. Moderator edit:Google Translate- The Radio France service is registered and the stations are working but the voice control has not been working for a few days. The message asks to register the Radio France service (already done) then goes to white noise….a similar mention from another user.

As the caption reads, I have an issue with the Google assistant making the volume go to the max setting despite what I tell it. For example: if I say “Hey Google set the volume to 9%” the volume will be set to 100 and then I have to scramble for a remote so I can lower the volume quickly.  Despite the volume level I set the Sonos to via the Google Assistant, it’ll always set it to 100%. I’ve removed and re-added the Google Assistant and that fix only works for 1-2 days. It’s really irritating that this is going on and it’s incredibly inconvenient as well. Makes me want to throw away the entire Sonos setup I have and go with a comparable setup from Bose.  Sonos….get it together already.

 How much longer must we suffer?! This app is garbage!The old app actually let you control volume with the one buttons! Amazing! The old app let you see what was playing on the screen! Amazing!The new app barely functions! Unacceptable! The volume is glitchy, the interface has too many layers, the app is not intuitive, and on and on!It’s been months and nothing has been resolved! Terrible company!

Hi,I’ve noticed that the Sonos app can show when my Sonos Ace headphones are connected to my Beam soundbar. However, this connection status doesn’t seem to be exposed in the Sonos API, which would make it usable in Home Assistant or other integrations.If the app can already report features like night mode, speech enhancement, and surround state, I don’t see why the API couldn’t treat the Ace connection as a sensor. Similar to how battery devices report their battery status, the Beam could report “Ace connected” or “Ace disconnected.”This would be useful for automations, such as adjusting playback zones or sending notifications based on the headphones' status. Are there any plans to expose this data in the API, or has this feature already been considered?Thanks.

Going to buy a soundbar.Sonos Playbar vs Sonos Beam Gen 2. Is there a big difference in the sound of these two? What would you choose? I can buy a used Playbar for around 300 euros or a new beam gen 2 for 370 euros. I'm going to buy 2 Sonos one/play one and a sub.

Hello!As I’ve seen more and more apps adopt Live Activities, I have begun noticing their absence for the Sonos app on iOS.  There are a few simple use cases that I think would be better achieved through a Live Activity vs having to do a heavy load of the app as is required today: Quick playback controls: play/pause/next/previous of current playing content Volume controls for the currently playing group Playing track information, including playback progress and album art. To keep things simple, I would suggest the Live Activity would only provide the above for the last selected and active (playing) speaker group from within the app. This avoids over designing the live activity to have to have a group picker which I think start to over complicate the experience.  This would make it incredibly simple to perform some of the most basic and essential functions of my Sonos experience from my device’s Lock Screen and even on my Apple Watch.  Thanks for the consideration!

Hello Sonos CommunityI contacted Sonos again this morning to see whether the problem with voice control is now working. It is not.My issue is that I have an LTE Router via 3 Network.  My SONOS 1 (GEN 2) worked perfectly with Alexa for 2 years until the new Sonos software was launched last year.I tried everything with SONOS support back in the summer, even managing to get to 2nd level but all to no avail.Can anyone in the community shed any light on this problem please.  We used voice control all the time, it’s a pain to have to use your phone.  SONOS are supposed to working on a solution but 78 months on, no news.I wouldn’t mind using Sonos Voice Control - anything, but i believe it’s the same issue.I would love to hear any views or maybe even a workaround!Thanks :-)

J’ajoute une Roam neuve sur mon système existant, elle est bien reconnue.Lors de l’installation de l’assistant google, après m’avoir demandé d’ouvrir l’application Google Assistant, j’arrive sur un écran d’attente avec une roue qui tourne et qui me dit que ça va prendre quelques minutes, me propose de réessayer ou d’annuler.Ca n’aboutit jamais, par contre parfois, en revenant sur l’écran de gestion la Roam, l’assistant Google apparait comme installé. Et là je peux appuyer sur le micro et la led s’allume, mais il ne fonctionne pas.Et au bout de quelques minutes, ou si je l’arrête et que je la rallume, il est à nouveau non installé. Des solutions ? Moderator edit:Google Translate- I add a new Roam to my existing system, it is recognized.When installing the Google Assistant, after asking me to open the Google Assistant application, I arrive at a waiting screen with a spinning wheel that tells me that it will take a few minutes, offers me to try again or cancel.It never works, however some

Heb voor honderden euro’s Sonos apparaten gekocht en het doet het niet !!!!!!! Alles al geprobeerd wat een troep is het heb spijt dat ik met Sonos in zee ben gegaan. Voel me aardig opgelicht en dan krijg je nog volop reclame zorg eerst dat het werkt SONOS!!!!!!!!! Moderator Edit - Translation by Google:I bought Sonos devices for hundreds of euros and they don't work!!!!!!! I've tried everything, it's a mess, and I regret choosing to work with Sonos. I feel pretty ripped off and then you get plenty of advertising, make sure it works first SONOS!!!!!!!!! 

I had to come here and let it be known. I just replaced the hdmi cable that came in the box with the arc ultra, with a high quality fiber optic HDMI e-arch cable; and the decrease in audio onset is very noticeable. I’d say the onset reduction is no less than 3/4ths (probably ~3/8ths) of a second. But significant none the less. Let it be known this took place on the the ultimate immersive set with the arc ultra.  

HiI currently have an office setup with a Beam and two Play:1 as surrounds which works fine. I want to add sound to a small gym I’ve setup in the garage (lowest cost ideally). Gym has 2 walls and a garage door and is 7x7 feet.I want to be able to setup so that I have two seperate groups in the Sonos App so I can play from either the office or the gym. What would you recommend?

Tengo una bocina era 300 y hace un mes Alexa funcionaba de maravilla pero estas últimas semanas Alexa no obedece a las órdenes que le doy. Por ejemplo si pido que ponga radio me responde pero no reproduce nada… si pido que ponga una canción en específico en alguna plataforma responde pero se queda sin reproducir nada… alguien tiene el mismo problema ? Moderator Edit - Translation by Google:I have a 300 speaker and a month ago Alexa was working wonderfully but in recent weeks Alexa has not obeyed the commands I give it. For example, if I ask to play the radio, it responds but doesn't play anything... if I ask it to play a specific song on a platform, it responds but doesn't play anything... does anyone have the same problem?

Bonjour tout le monde,jusque là j'étais tranquille et serein avec mes 2 petites Sonos Roam couplé en paire stéréo. N'arrivant pas à intégrer Tidal dans l'interface Sonos, je me suis dit... Tentons une mise à jours. Pour une enceinte R.A.S. Pour l'autre.... Ça clignote rouge et blanc. Impossible de l'éteindre ou de faire un reset.. Que faire ? Appelez le support ? Mais comment peuvent il intervenir sur l'enceinte ? Merci pour votre éventuelle aide. Bonne et douce fin d'année Gaetan Moderator Edit - Translation by Google:Hello everyone,until then I was calm and serene with my 2 small Sonos Roams coupled as a stereo pair. Not being able to integrate Tidal into the Sonos interface, I said to myself... Let's try an update. For one R.A.S. speaker. For the other.... It flashes red and white. Impossible to turn it off or do a reset. What to do? Call support? But how can they intervene on the speaker? Thank you for any possible help. Happy and sweet end of year Gaetan

Upgrading my surrounds with ERA 300 (already purchased, with the Sonos wall mounting brackets).I have included a photo of my rear wall, which the couch is against and includes a large window.Does anyone have placement tips?  

Hi allI’m looking for some advice on a home cinema set up.I’ve got a set of old KEF Egg 2001.3 surround speakers and subwoofer, which was linked to an Onkyo receiver.  I bought the system in 2011 ish, and recently upgraded our TV so has made the Onkyo redundant.I am a big Sonos fan, have an Era 300, 3 Sonos One’s and a Roam around the house, and wondering what to do with getting better home cinema sound.Replace the Onkyo receiver with a newer AVR which has Dolby atmos, HDR etc - I’ve had a recommendation for a DENON Receiver for around £379 Add the PORT to then connect the set up to Sonos Get a Beam now, and then look to upgrade my set up with Era 100s and Sonos sub, and get rid of my existing KEF speakers and Onkyo receiver.Our living room with TV isn’t a huge space (around 4m x 4m), so don’t think we need the higher end Sonos stuff.  If I did 3 - is it worth keeping the KEF subwoofer and would this work with Sonos, or is it better to just sell it with the speakers and get a Sonos sub

What should I buy first? a Sub gen 4 or two Era 100? I have a medium room and I want a home theater, I can't buy two Era 300 for space reasons. After I would look for a way to add Era 300.

ich bediene meine Sonos One über Alexa. Wenn ich einen Song wähle, zum Beispiel über Apple Music, dann bestätigt sie mir den Namen des Songs und sagt „Song XY auf Apple Music…“ Dann kommt aber nichts. Woran kann das liegen? Ich habe vor kurzem mein WLAN Netz verändert.

I have imported a bunch of files in to Appel Music. I can play these fine on my Mac, my iPhone etc…When I add Apple Music to the Sonos app I see the Albums I imported, but I cannot play them. I get an “unable to add to queue” error. What might be the problem here?
