Hi, I have the sonos move and in my house I have 3 wifi. Every time i change location i have to reconnect my sonos to the wifi and writing again the password. what is the solution that sonos can change wifi by himself? thanks

so here we go … I just bought a house and since I sold mine with my equipment (Sony), I’m ready to buy brand new equipment (SONOS).  The house comes with ceiling speakers (office, laundry!, master bath, master bedroom, kitchen, living room, outdoor upstairs, outdoor downstairs).  It also comes with 7 speakers for the TV area.  so … I don’t need to buy any speakers (other than a subwoofer to achieve 7.1).  Everything arrives in a utility closet upstairs (TV is downstairs).  While I’d like to use WIFI, the house also has cat 5 (or 6, not sure yet I have not moved in just yet) throughout the house.  Here’s what I want to achieve -play music in every zone - either same or different music from same or different sources looks like I have 8 zones + the TV) setup the surround sound 7.1 I don’t need the TV to play in other rooms (just surround sound / media room is enough) TV is a smart TV Samsung From what I’ve seen there is an HDMI cable running from the TV area to the utility closet (need to

Is this possible? If there are ways then what do I need? Thanks.

I’m having trouble deciding how to add a soundbar to my living room setup. I currently have a Sonos amp driving the 4 ceiling speakers in that room and the tv sound coming through those ceiling speakers. I’m not a fan of the all tv sound coming from the ceiling and would like to add a soundbar. I’m overwhelmed by all the options and looking for anyone that has a similar situation or any advice. There are speaker cables for a left, right, and center channel behind the TV that run to the server closet, but there isn't any room for speakers other than a soundbar. So far I’ve narrowed it down to these solutions.Just get a normal soundbar and leave the Sonos system and TV sound separate. No need for a Sonos soundbar if I’m keeping them separate.  Get a Sonos Beam and connect the the 4 ceiling speakers as SR and SL speakers in the Sonos app. I didn’t think the arc would be a good match as its atmos speakers’ sound would be coming from the same area as the ceiling speakers. Does anyone have a

I have 6 Polk Audio RC80i 2-way Premium In-Ceiling 8" that I would like to run off 1 Sonos Amp.  Is that possible?  It sounds like you can using Sonos’ architectural speakers because they are all identical, but is that possible with 6 identical Polk speakers?Thanks!

Hi. I was thinking about adding a couple of rear speakers to my Beam Soundbar, would a couple of Roam speakers do the job wirelessly. The fact they are battery powered , would make them ideal for temporary placement in my TV room, when watching content that warrants good surround sound, while the rest of the time, they could live in my kitchen and conservatory.?

Hello friends,I’m trying to figure out an automation so that when I come home that I can have a Back to the Future 2 type greeting play through my living room speakers.I’ve Googled this idea but I can’t seem to find the answer to make it happen. I have only been able to get this to partially work using Yonomi. When I arrive at my house, I can get the greeting to play in the desired zone. However, I can’t seem to manage the volume and execution to time it just right. When I arrive at my geolocation, the Yonomi automation runs. The selected playlist then loops rather than just playing once. I’d also like to add a condition so that I have trigger a front door sensor in addition to my geolocation. My current home automation setup is a mix of HomeKit and Smartthings (web version). I have a Hoobs on the way for more Homekit integration of Kasa lights and my Sonos system. Things are pretty much in their beginning stages. I’m trying out different things but I will mostly be in an Apple ecosyst

Hi all, I am about to purchase a Sonos move , I already have 2 Sonos play 1's connected with a sonos beam grouped in one room.My question is will I be able to use my move seperately and together with my existing Room (as above) when I so wish please ? 

I tuned in to SomaFM’s Groove Salad streaming channel this morning for the first time in a while and a lengthy ad played through my Sonos system before the music started, mid-song. It wasn’t an ad from SomaFM, they’re an ad-free listener-supported service. I donate to them periodically. Sonos apparently wants money for connecting me to freely available content I’m already paying SomaFM for (through donations), which is infuriating.I switched my connection to SomaFM to go through “Sonos Radio”, back when Sonos introduced their Radio service, because that way I at least got (a single) cover art image for the station, rather than a generic gray square. Previously, I had set up streaming to several of SomaFM’s channels through the Sonos app on my Mac (because Sonos doesn’t allow this functionality on iOS for some reason), by adding the URLs directly. Except, they end up as TuneIn “stations” rather than direct URLs. This is also infuriating - is Sonos really not capable of storing a URL on

Looking for Italian background music for a dinner party and cannot find any option in World Music/etc.

I apologise if this has been asked before, but I’m new at this sort of stuff.I play my TV through an Apple TV 4th Gen - I connect them with an HDMI cable.The TV speakers are poor, so I’d like to see if I could add a Sonos 1 SL to improve the sound quality - my grandson has Sonos 1s and they are very impressive. If it works, I’d  then get a second Sonos 1 for a stereo effect.My question is - will this work? I imagine the sound would have to get from the ATV to the Soos 1 by wireless - is that possible? Can the ATV broadcast wireless signals - obviously I know it receives them, but I’m not sure if it can send them to the Sonos.Can anybody help Thanks

What is the max band width on the hdmi cable that comes with the arc. Do I need to buy say an 8k type cable?

Hi. I just purchased a Pro-Ject T1 turntable for my family for Christmas. It will be in the living room with two Play 5s. How will I connect it so the pair runs in stereo? Do I plug the turntable into one and it will recognize the pair or do I need separate cables for left and right? Just want to make sure I get any necessary cable in had in advance.Thanks!

Hello everyone,I have an issue with my HTPC only being able to output Stereo PCM.Would you kindly advise what could help to solve the issue so that I could play games on HTPC getting full surround effect via LPCM or at least Dolby Digital Live? I have the following configuration:PC (NVIDIA 2070 Super) >> HDMI >> TV (Panasonic VIERA TX-55AS640E >> Sonos Arc (HDMI Arc) + 2x Sonos One SLFrom what I read so far I believe my issue is that my TV can’t pass the signal further.Some additional comments:Would a TV with an eARC solve the issue? Is there any other option for how to work around this? E.g. I’ve read about editing EDID, getting a soundcard, getting HDMI/optical switch, running both HDMI and optical cable (not sure if this is applicable for non-receiver setup with Sonos Arc though) Streaming movies from PC via DLNA to TV enables me to receive Dolby Digital 5.1 (this is not applicable to gaming though) Streaming Netflix from TV’s app enables me to receive Dolby Digita

Will the Roam not ship with the wireless charger? There is a separate order that has the speaker and charger together??

Just wondering if anyone has any experience with Qobuz Premier as far as quality goes in general and how it might compare with the other hi-res services. Can you tell the difference and is it worth the $$. Primarily listening with Movepair of Play 1s, Arc Surround setup, Beam surround setup with no bass, Playbar surround setup no bass as well as a Play 1 pair setup. 

Does anyone know where I can buy Play:1 mounting screws in Australia? I have tried M5 and M6 screws and they certainly don’t work. the 1/4” x 20 (¼ long) I am finding very difficult to find.Many thanks!

How do I add a song playing on Sonos HD Radio to a playlist? 

When I do the update on the app, is it only the app software that is updated; or are the speakers themselves updated as well?I am a technophobe!

Hello friends,I’ve been thinking about reworking our living room setup a bit. I would like to get a Beam for our TV and then place two Play Ones/SL/Ikea speakers as  surround sound.  Right now, I have a Sonos Connect: Amp hooked up to some tall Polk speakers. Is it possible to create a dummy load for the Connect:Amp so that I can stream the audio to the surround setup and not burn out the amp?Essentially, I’m trying to make the Connect: Amp more like the Port but without investing in that piece for the time being. This would eliminate the use of the Polk speakers and free up some space in the living room. 

How can I figure out the generation of a Sonos subwoofer? Serial #, UPC etc./other? 

Will an AMP Gen 1 still work with the current SONOS app for basic streaming of music?  I have several speakers connected to the newest Amp, but looking for a less expensive alternative to power the outdoor speakers separately.

Hello,I just bought the new Sonos Amp.  I want to use for our tv surround system with 2 pairs of in wall speakers, a Sonos sound bar and the Sub.The room is quite large (20’x24’) with cathedral ceilings.  Two (2) speakers are located on both sides in the lowest part of the ceiling, a few feet in the back of the sitting area.  I plan to have 2 other speakers (Canton) each sides above the tv set.Is that a possible and interesting setup for our tv surround system ?Regards.

Currently have my TV running into a Sonos Amp, running a 2.1 setup with a third party subwoofer.Just ordered a pair of One SLs to act as rear speakers, but have since read that this would cause the subwoofer output to be disabled - although the information seems unclear, as a lot of people with this issue seem to be using the amp itself to power generic rears directly along with something like a Beam up front (the argument being that in this setup, the amp isn’t getting sent the sub signal, which is fair).However in my case, the Sonos Amp would be getting directly fed a full range HDMI signal, and passing the rear signal on to the Ones. I can’t see any reason why it would need to disable the sub output in this scenario.So to clear up:If I have my TV running into a Sonos Amp, which is wired up to a pair of bookshelf speakers, and a third party subwoofer on the sub out, will the subwoofer output be disabled if I add a pair of Sonos Ones to act as rear speakers?
