Why for the love of god are you still require users to use SMBv1 voor NAS Support? This is unacceptable from a security standpoint and your responsability as a company towards your end users.   Closing topics like below one is not a solution to your flaud implementation for NAS/Samba support. https://en.community.sonos.com/setting-up-sonos-228990/sonos-support-for-smb-2-0-protocol-6739642/index9.html   What is Sonos gonna do to properly support NAS/Samba.

I have a simple setup in a small room - Play 5 connected directly to a Teac TN-300 turntable (AT 95e cart and integrated pre-amp).  I’m upgrading my turntable and don’t know whether it will make much difference to get a stand alone pre-amp.  While I like the Play 5, this is certainly no audiophile setup, so I’m not sure I would realize enough benefit in sound quality going with a standalone to offset the convenience of an integrated pre-amp.  Have any of you experimented with this?

Hello Sonos family,Today I've bought Sonos Five speaker and right after unboxing I saw two strange things at the front. You can see it here:https://imgur.com/a/LNAFwQXIs it normal look of these speakers? Should I do something to make it disappear?

I have a large collection of live music.  Currently it is stored on the hard drive of a windows desktop pc, backed up on an external hard drive).  I am due for a new computer that functions as my stereo, and I have been slowly moving off windows, so I may upgrade to Ubuntu for the next generation of computer that stores/plays music in my house.  But that isn’t my question (but if Ubuntu is a bad idea, feel free to tell me)….I am in the market for some wireless speakers.  I want to be able to play a playlist (which is a concert) that is currently stored on a hard drive on a computer in my office.  Ideally, I’d be able to play whatever concert I wanted in one or more rooms in the house.  Bonus points- I also need a nice sound system for the TV.  If the same speakers can play music from the computer OR play sound from the the tv in the living room, that’s pretty much my perfect setup.  And then I could get another speaker for the kitchen (we need music when we cook), and maybe an indoor/o

Is there a way to copy sonos playlist from S1 setup to S2? I am running a dual setup in my house and I have playlists from S1 that I would like to bring over to S2.

I have the following components connected to my home theater:Sonos Amp Sonos soundbar Left and Right rear speakers Non-SonosI would like to connect a Non-sono sub woofer through the Sonos Amp sub woofer port.  I plugged in the subwoofer but I am not hearing any boom boom when I put stars wars on the home theater?

Hi! I bought I very nice setup for my new house (ARC, SuB Gen3, pair of One SL, AMP and 3 pairs of Architectural speakers…. I am very disappointed since I though the amp had more than one zone…I have wired my house for the ultimate experience…. I have also wired my backyard but it’s useless since I only have one expensive amp that can’t make the difference between my backyard speakers and my architectural speakers…Yes!!!  I saw some cheap speaker selectors that could make the trick but you need to select them manually… This is pretty basic stuff to be able to power up 1 set of speakers in that SONOS amp… I have something to tell to SONOS manufacturer.Why there is not a possibility to put something in the architectural speakers to be able to select à zone???? That would be good marketing too. If you need to use a specific zone, you need our amp and our architectural speakers…Now, I would need to purchase an 800$ Amp per each zone…. But my bathroom only has one speaker… This is crazy mon

I have a roku TV with e arc... I have the beam and want to add 2 Sonos one speakers for surround. My question is will my roku remote adjust the volume simultaneously on both the beam and the Sonos ones?...or do I have to use the Sonos app to adjust the speaker volume in unison? 

Hi,I don’t understand how it works. I received a email asking me to send my Sonos Amp via UPS…. why?I readed we could keep or old product… so why do I need to send it?If you will replace it by a new one, what’s the price therefor?KR, David

Is there anyway to play Apple Music from the Apple Music app to my SONOS group as is possible with Tidal?What I think I know is that Air Play is available to SONOS ONE but not when they are linked up in my group?Any advice on how to do it or for work arounds would be gratefully received.

Hello Everyone,We’re building our basement and adding a family/theatre room.  The space is fairly large (~35x20) and I’ve had them wire the ceiling for two in ceiling speakers where the sofa will sit.  I’m trying to decide what route to take for the best Sonos surround sound setup.  Does the Sonos Arc support a setup that includes both  In-Ceiling (Sonos by Sonance) and Side Rear (2 One SL’s) speakers?  Said differently will it feed Dolby (Atmos, Dolby Digital, etc.) and other surround formats to all 4 rear (both the side and in-ceiling) surround speakers?  For example if rain is falling will the ceiling speakers kick in with that effect while sounds coming from the side would be driven through one or both of the side speakers and not the ceiling?  I’ve noticed in the Sonos Home Theater Speaker Comparison chart it shows the Sonos Amp (required to drive the In-Ceiling speakers) doesn’t support Dolby Atmos, Dolby Digital Plus and some other formats, which I assume means anything playing

I upgraded to the Sonos S2 app on my Mac awhile ago and notice that the Sonos S1 Controller is still in my Applications folder. Will dragging the S1 app to my Trash completely remove it or are there additional steps to make sure any related files are removed from my system?

Hi there, since the Mac mini has no optical out I was wondering if someone can guide me what usb dac or other converter should I buy in order to get the best out of my Mac mini. Want to use the playbar with a 5.1 setup in my home office. (Mac to playbar+Sub+2play1) thanks for your tips!

Hi everyone, I’m new to the community. Have been a huge fan of Sonos and own quite a few of them. I was wondering if anyone can help me with this question - I have a connect amp, and just purchased a pair of Sonos outdoor speakers. I know the recommended amp is the newer Sonos amp with 125w per channel. Will I get away with using the Connect amp I already have?  And will I get good results from it?  If not, what are the downside?  Thank you

I have installed Sonos Desktop Controller 1124 (Sonos.exe version 6.0.0.34230) on a Windows 10 Pro host.Clicking the application results in the grey dialog box “Sonos” opening, and then nothing happens.  I have waited 5 minutes.  Looking in Task Manager the Sonos.exe is using no resources (it appears to be waiting?).I am able to use the Sonos Android Controller S1 with the same Sonos system.I am able to use Spotify with the same Sonos system.I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Desktop Controller. What gives?

Hi, I’m considering purchasing a Play 5 to connect directly to my HIFI. I have a Naim NAC122x amp. Could anyone please advise how I would hook the speaker up and what type of cable I would use?Many thanks,

I cannot create a new playlist, when i press the edit, there is no option of creating a new playlist, what do i need to do? SO frustrating

When playing an album from my music library, sometimes it doesn't move to next song. The 3 bars next to the song still move up and down to indicate that it is playing, but the song has ended and the timer is on 0.00. If I  manually select another song, then the app will still show the original song.

Hi, I have all current gen 2 paired 5   sub which is grouped fine. I just paired 2 Ones which are in another group. Is there a way to group all together and sync? Not used for home theatre, just music. TIA

Hello. My sonos arc recently stopped show its splash/video output. I have Samsung qled Q75R. Previously had similar issue but rebooting arc(power cycle) fixes issue, but now nothing helps. Hdmi cable is fine. Sound also works. 

I have a long room in which I have two Play:1s set up as a stereo pair.  I’d like to put another Play 1 in the room so that there is a L-R-L setup, with the R in the middle of the room.  That way I have stereo sound on the left side of the room, and stereo sound on the right as well (albeit reversed).   Is there a way to add a Play:1 as a left-only speaker?  Whenever I set it up, it is only available as mono.  

Can anyone please tell me what was changed in the S2 App update issued on March 2, 2021 and was there any problems regarding the update ( i.e. dropping speakers, glitches, etc)? Thanks in advance for any answers 

Hi,I am planning to buy a turntable and connect it to the small Sonos system I have: 1 Beam connected to TV via HDMI Arc + 2 Play:1 as surround.What should I buy? It is not clear to me if Port, Amp or Five would be best in my case.Question: after connecting the turntable (using any of the product available), will the system still work as a 5.1 setup when watching the tv?Thanks.

I’m looking to order the Sonos Dolby Atmos set. Now, I know that’s not the name. But when I e-mailed customer service, they said it was a surround sound system. I realise that their set isn’t “true” Dolby Atmos (it offers upfiring sound, not speakers above your head) but I just want to check that it is Dolby Atmos?I realise I need an eArc to get this.
