Spaces & Setups

Looking for a bit of advice: we’ve recently moved, and are offloading much of our old audio equipment. We already own 3 OneSL speakers, which we love and want to keep. However, I have an extensive collection of classical and international CD’s, and am looking at a new CD player to integrate with our current Sonos speakers. Putting aside the longer term need to copy all of my CD’s to electronic files, I am looking at two options for CD playing, and am unclear if the Port or Amp is needed. One option is to purchase a Bose Wave music system, which would then provide the speakers for that room. The other option is to purchase an Onkyo 6-Disc CD carousel, which does not include speakers. I lean toward the second option, so I can just load up a day’s worth of music. I suspect the Port would do for the Bose, but the Amp would be needed for the Onkyo. Any advice (other than I need to offload the CD’s) is most appreciated! Thanks! 

Hi,I opened this topic to know how to connect a turntable to a sonos home teather consisting of sonos beam and two sonos one SL ( later I will also buy the sonos sub ).It seems to me that I can connect a turntable to both an Sonos Port and a Sonos Amp but it is not clear to me which one to buy.I have this questions.If I decide to buy a third-party receiver ( such as Onkyo, Denon or Yamaha ) and connect the turntable to the receiver, then how do I connect the amplifier to my Sonos products?If I bought a Pro-Ject Carbon turntable instead, how do I connect the turntable to my Sonos products?Kind regards

Can the Sonos Port take an analog input and stream it wirelessly to the Sonos Arc? If so, are there any special setup instructions? example: I do not own a tuner. I am running my audio from an analog source into the port. I would like the port to send the music wirelessly to the Sonos Arc.  Is this possible? Can it send to more than one Sonos Speaker?

I’m a proud new owner of a Sonos Move, an iPhone owner and am having questions syncing it with my original HomePod:1. I am able to have them sync together under the HomeKit app. I have them both under the same “room” in the app. But I have to manually toggle airplay 2 every single time to get them to play together. Is there an easier way to get this done (without having to go through the annoying steps to turn both of them at the same time?)2. Any hope of getting them to play a stereo pair yet or in the future?3. is it possible to get a subwoofer and have all 3 synced together?

Bonjour, j'ai une barre de son Sonos Beam connectée en ARC à ma télé Samsung.J'ai ajouté pour le soir, des écouteurs bluetooth en périphérique de sortie de son, mais lorsque je choisis cette sortie, cela permute automatiquement sur la barre de son après 3 secondes. Il ne reste donc jamais sur les écouteurs, et se remet tout seul sur le son de la Sonos.Ce que j'ai déjà tenté : - désactiver "lecture automatique" depuis l'application sonos, pour la barre de son, mais ça ne change rien.Si quelqu'un a une idée ? merci 

As of today, I cannot use my Play 3 speakers with my Sonos S1 app, only my Play 5 gen 1 speaker. Previously, i.e. yesterday, I could combine all in party mode. Does anyone else have this problem? Has Sonos started prevening full functionality of theS1 app inorder to force customers to upgrade?

New to the Sonos game. Currently have a beam and 2x ones in a surround set up in my living room.  wondering if it is possible to play audio on just one of my ones in the set up individually? Or does it have to play in the full set up. 

Is there a way to lock the volumes when grouping speakers so that they raise and lower proportionately?  I have several Sonos One’s throughout our house and I set them at different levels so that I can raise and lower them together proportionately, however, every time I open the app again for the day, they are all back to equal levels.  I have them balanced on purpose and I’d like to keep it that way. 

Hi,is there any cheaper alternative for hdfury arcana. I am using an old 2010 model sony tv which has an ARC port but unfortunately do not support dolby digital plus. My amazon fire tv stick which supports dolby digital plus hence i can enjoy atmos content on my sonos arc. Not in a position to spend money for a new tv hence looking for a cheaper option. Even an ARC output with dolby digital plus support is fine fo my requirements. Hdfury arcana is not locally available in New Zealand and its too expensive for me. Thanks in advance.

Play & pause buttons on individual rooms would be really useful when wanting to shut down various streams, rather than having to open each one.  (And global buttons at the top, for when leaving the house, for example)

Is this replacement easy for a consumer to do and how is it done? Thanks 

I bought the latest IPad only to tune my Sonos and still waiting for the update so I can use trueplay. Any idea when this will be released???

I’ve had an odd problem for just over a week now in that when I turn the LG 77CX on there’s a split second of sound from the Arc and then the volume immediately goes to “0” and the Arc volume has to be turned up again after which everything is fine. This happens virtually every time the TV is turned on, playing audio/music only, the Arc works fine. It’s definitely a problem with the Arc as unplugging the TV to Arc EARC cable and then turning the TV on works fine as audio reverts back to the TV internal speakers without the need to adjust the volume. I’ve had the Arc since release and not had this problem before, any helpful advice would be much appreciated. Thank you.

I’ve had Sonos for many years and use it all the time.  I have a large system.  I would like to find a way to block the incessant messages to upgrade to the S2 system. I don’t want to spend the money on the new equipment, and I don’t want to run both S1 and S2 as separate systems.  Is there a way to block the messages?   They are annoying to say the least, and I’m not interested.

Can I pairing a Sonos move with a Sonos SL? If I said "OK google. Lauter": the Sonos SL will follow my Sonos Move? Thx! 

Just subscribed to Free Trial, so 30 days remain for this to work out or then it gets cancelled. I get ads - infuriating, on all stations, and I can’t skip tracks so maybe I don’t really have HD sound either.Read some threads, re-booted all Sonos components, just upgraded to S2, in the app it says Free Subscription activated.  What’s up with that?H

Hi! I am designing a new cinema / sport room set-up as part of a major renovation. I have a 65” LG OLED being recess / flush mounted above a 100cm bioethanol fire. I have rear ceiling speakers and a sub to connect as well. My question is - Sonos Arc surface mounted below the TV OR in wall hidden speakers below the TV? I am worried that a surface mounted Arc will look stuck on the wall and ruin the design. Recessed amp powered speakers will look smarter, but will they give good sound quality?  Thanks! 

I am an owner of a Sonos Beam and I am curious about the support of Dolby Digital plus (DD+).  The only surround codec that is supported by the beam is Dolby Digital 5.1 (DD5.1).At the moment the beam doesn't support DD+. Nowadays the standard audio codec within streaming services is DD+. Streaming services like Netflix and Amazon prime only use DD+ as audio codec for surround sound. Sonos profiles itself as a company targeting on  delivering good sound for streaming services.In my opinion it is the Achilles heel of the Sonos beam not supporting DD+. The beam wil produce no sound or poor quality PCM stereo using Netflix or Prime on older TV's that can not transcode DD+ to DD5.1. In the reality it will often result in no surround sound and the beam is preforming under its ability.Adding the support of DD+ wil solve this problem and make it up to date with nowadays standards.So my question will DD+ be added in the future as supporting audiocodec for the Beam?  

It’d be great if there was a ‘Shuffle Albums’ play option for Music Libraries.  Apple Music (iTunes, not the service) has this and is it is a great way to re-explore your library.

My S1 controller on my android phone has, up to a day or two ago, controled all devices on my system, some “legacy” S1 devices and others newer S2 devices.  I presume an update has occured and as a result all the S2 devices have dropped off my system.  I have tried resetting the S2 devices but they remain unseen by my S1 controller.  Quite apart from the irritation and time wasted  I am appalled by the plan, by Sonos,  to effectively cause perfectly functioning devices to become obsolete.  This can only have a commercial motive, ie to rip off and treat their customers as cash cows.  If I cannot get a solution to this nonsense I will never buy another sonos device ever again and will council any of my well heeled friends to avoid this company with a seriously problematic business model.If any sonos advisor would like to contact me and talk me through a solution...and it all works when he finishes the call then I may be tempted to rivise this view 

My Speakers are kicking on all by themselves without anyone prompting from anyone in the home playing them.  It appears as if it is being triggered from a Spotify list being played elsewhere (not on wifi at home).  Is there anywhere this can be changed/addressed/modified?It’s as if the speakers are turning on by themselves every day.

I’m thinking of buying the Sonos Move and need some advice?The main purpose for me buying the Sonos Move will be to stream and play music from You Tube. With this in mind, I intend to pair the Sonos Move to my Samsung android S10 plus (or new S20 as I’ll be upgrading very soon) and connect via my home Wi-Fi. That said, I have been informed that this is only possible on an iPhone and only possible on an android phone via Bluetooth. Currently I’m using the Bang and Olufsen Beo Plus speaker paired to my Samsung phone and use it as described above without any problems. I want to be able to do the same on the Sonos move without any problems. If it’s not possible to do this via Samsung phone via my home Wi-Fi, then what are the implications of using and relying on Blue Tooth instead of Wi-Fifi? Many thanks,Doug

In short: I have an issue where my Beam keeps loosing it’s connection to my TV requiring me to reconfigure it (disconnect all other devices on the TV and run the Sonos app) every time I turn my TV on. In more depth… I’ll start with my equipment: Sony XBR-65X900E TV has 4 HDMI ports, two of which allow ‘enhanced 4K’, and one of those two is the ARC one).   Bravia Sync is enabled sound is set to output to Audio System running latest firmware (v6.6520) Beam - connected to the HDMI ARC port (#3)  also have the Sub and two One’s attached for 5.1 SGEYR SGHD501 4K HDMI Switch - connected to the second enhanced 4K HDMI port (#2) switch iis connected to a Vero 4K+, PS4, PS3, and Xbox 360 All HDMI cables are from Monoprice (Ultra Slim Certified Premium High Speed HDMI Cable, 4K@60Hz, HDR, 18Gbps, 36AWG, YCbCr 4:4:4) just in case it might have an impact My issue is that my Beam keeps loosing its connection to my TV every single time I turn the TV off. So, here is my process: I turn my TV on. I

small bug but bloody annoying, the sonos app does not appear if you try and search for it in the iOS search menu (pull down on home screen)No matter what i type, s2, sonos, the sonos app just doesn't appear.i use this shortcut to get around my iphone so be great if this was working again, it certainly used to be in previous releases.  

Hello,To keep costs down, I am think of getting a pair of SYMFONISK speakers to play music in my store in two different rooms, instead of purchasing a “real” SONOS system for now. Basic setup: Deskstop computer (iMac) running Spotify and Airfoil with wifi coverage in store.Question: Can I purchase 2 SYMFONISK speakers from Ikea and have them play Spotify from my computer over wifi without any other elements?Thanks in advance for your help!Kind regards
