Spaces & Setups

c'mon sonos - please let us know when the outdoor speaker will be available. it would be an industry leader and i am holding off, as well as many others, until it's release. thanks guys and keep up the great work.

I seem to be one of the few people who are enjoying the new UI in 8.0. By changing the name of Sonos Favourites to My Sonos however, it's made me more aware that it is not really "mine", as I have two kids using Sonos who constantly add their own playlists and favourite albums into the list. This means my nicely curated favourites get lost amongst all the noise. Is there anyway of having multiple Sonos accounts attached to the system (we all want access to all speakers), separating out My Sonos accordingly? I guess in a similar fashion as we do with different Spotify accounts. Thanks.

Hi, I know energy is not a big topic in the US, because energy is cheap and wasted everywhere, but it is in Germany and other parts of the world. Avg spend for energy for two people in an appartment in Germany is usually anything bewteen 50 and 100 Eur/Month (energy prices are 0.25-0,30cents (EUR) per kw/h. I my setup (Playbar, 3x Play1, 2x Play3 and one Bridge) is roughly around 40kw/h on stand-by. So im spending around 90 EUR per year just for sonos stand-by. When I see that Amazon Echo dots uses 1.5W and play1 4W it feels like it could be less. Echo Dot is also always on, its always connected to wifi and keeps listening and waiting 24H/day. Some people might say "ok....Sonos is supposed to be like that..live with it..it has to be on and available all the time". I know many people using Sonos, most of them unplug them or use switches at the power plug. Why? Because all rooms are not always needed. I use one e.g. in sleeping room (because my GF lives abroad) and another one i

45 Day Trial Real Life Evaluation of the Sonos Beam Purchased Sonos Beam from the NYC Sonos Store on October 17, 2018. Connected Beam to a newly purchased Sony 49” Bravia X900E television with HDMI ARC. Connected Beam to wireless network. One room loft like apartment of approximately 1000 square feet. Listening area places two arm chairs approximately 13 ft from the Beam which is placed immediately in front of the TV on a stand that is 26 inches high. Set up Trueplay by only walking around the perimeter of the listening area. Unable to tune to the apartment's full perimeter since the app quits probably due to the presence occassional New York City street noise. Sony sound configuration: Speakers: Audio System Sound Adjustments: Clear Audio - on Sound mode - Standard Advanced Settings Input related Dolby Dynamic Range - Standard Dolby Digital Plus Output - Dolby Digital Sound sources: Spectrum Cable TV, Apple TV, Netflix,

Obviusley I know the sub ads a lot more bass to your setup but I'm wondering how it changes it all? Does is alter what sounds come out of the beam and 2 Play1:s I already have set up? For example will the beam stop kicking out bass and concentrate on the centre channel stuff like voices etc? I have suffered a little with the low voice volume and really loud action scenes so I'm wondering if having the sub and being able to adjust the level seperatley with make things better for me overall?

Will sonos support the new Samsung watch

Sonos devices on average consume about 5 watts each if idle. Having 5 sonos devices around this means 25 watts on average idle consumption. Over a year this is about (25x24hx365) 219 kwh. In Germany where 1 kwh is about 0,30 Euro Cent this then means about 70 Euro (about 100$) just to maintain an idle system. This is just too much and could easily be reduced. Looking at the environmental aspect this gets even more critical: There are around 2.5 million Sonos devices around. This adds up to 110,000,000 kwh or 110 million kwh.

Hi everyone, I have been reading these posts for the last few months and still can't seem to find a solution. I have an Epson 2150 projector which only has a 3.5 jack for audio. My chromecast is plugged into the HDMI port which is how I stream videos, etc. I purchased the beam and have recently tried connecting all of these together with an analog Audio to Digital Audio Converter but cannot seem to get it to work. I also have 2 play ones that are connected to my beam currently with no issue. I just need to get the beam connected to my projector. Please help!!!

I have a pretty open concept condo. On occasion it would be beneficial to be able to play my Sonos feed through my AirPods. For say watching TV and not disturbing others. Anyone else?

Please display volume settings as a percent or whole number

Hi, I've got a sonos connect connected directly to an integrated amplifier via optical connection. The amplifier has an I build DAC as well. Because if this, I'd like to ensure that I'm bypassing the built-in DAC in the Connect. With my current method of using the optical out on the Connect, am I doing it correctly? Also, I've got my hifi Tidal account connected on the Sonos app. How to I know if I am streaming in lossless?

For some reason I have 2 rooms showing in the Room Settings. How do I delete one within the app? When we have to reconnect our :one units because they get disconnected in the app, it's creating a new room.

how do i delete a room

Hey! The Sonos controller won't allow me to pass an update screen but when I try to run the update it says "An exception occured during a WebClient request." I reset the controller but it didn't help and can't find another avenue through which to download the Sonos controller installer. What should I do?

I have a Sonos 5 and am wondering whether there is a way to connect a CD player to it through Line In. My personal collection is way over 60,000 tracks and so was looking for a way for my wife to easily stick a CD of hers in and play it, if required, without the need for the system's original speakers. The system has the two wired outputs from the system and it to it's own speakers. I can see you can buy bare wire to 3.5mm leads so would two of them in to a 3.5mm splitter then plug in to the Play 5 and work ok? Thanks in advance for any advice.

My app (and Windows controller) is stuck in an endless "Check for update/No update needed" loop. I'm not enrolled in Beta. I've tried restarting my iPhone. I've tried deleting the app and uninstalling it. I've tried controlling through my PC (same issue). Help.

Hi, I've just added a Sonos Beam to my collection and connected it to my kitchen TV, a Samsung UE32H5500 via HDMI ARC. Things work okay, when I control the TV volume it changes the volume of the Beam, however even on 100 (which is maximum) the sound isn't what I would call loud. If I switch to play music instead of the TV the sound is insanely loud. There don't seem to be any settings on my TV to balance or increase the sound. I can't believe I've got to play this at full volume just to hear it?? Can anyone suggest anything to help? Many thanks

What would be better? A Beam or a pair of Sonos ones? Looking for music in a double car garage. Mostly pop / hi-hop type music. THANKS

Hi, I have recently seen talk of TV's looking to drop optical support in favour of HDMI. I understand why this would be the case, however this has me slightly concerned that my Playbase which I purchased only a couple of years ago will be useless in the near future. I was wondering if it was possible to get an adaptor much like Sonos are selling for the Beam but in the opposite direction. ie female optical to male HDMI? Any help would be appreciated! Danny

Hi everyone. I am permanently installing two Gen 1 Play 5's in my room. I want to mount them on the wall. The best wall bracket for my purpose is the Flexson tilt and swivel but they appear to be discontinued and out of stock everywhere, irrespective of what websites claim! 1 Does anyone know where I can get some of these in black? 2 Does anyone know of an alternative, probably generic, wall bracket that will work brilliantly? There is a bracket from Cavus but this only has swivel, not tilt. Tilt would be the more important feature in my installation. I hope someone else has battled with this and look forward to inspiration :-) Cheers Andy

It would be great if you could store "scenes", i.e. predefined groups and associated volume levels. They should be as easily accessible as the 'Sonos favorites'. An example would be "party" which could group all units in the house and sets the volume at the right levels between the units. Or "watching movie" which only turns on the playbar and associated Play:3 or Play:5's in the tv room, a the right volume level and turns off all other sonos units in the house. Or "OFF" which degroups all units and puts them all on mute.

Hi, Just ordered a sub to finish off my setup and I know they have a gloss black finish and I'd like to keep it as perfect as possible. I have seen a couple of fabric skins out there but I wondered if anyone here had come up with or know of any other solutions? Thanks, Andy.

Hey. My setup today: Kitchen: two stereo paired Play 1 Living room: Beam Daugthers room: Play 1 My question is. We often listen at low volumes, but I really need more bass in the living room. But I think the Sub is expensive “just” to get more bass. Is the SUB worth it, when we for the most of the time only listen to low volumed music and television. Do you got the Beam and SUB, and what is your opinion about the sound at low volume, or is it first when you crank it up, that you feel the bass. Can you even feel the bass in your body?

Similar questions have been asked before of the One gen 1/Play 1 offerings and whether or not they can be used as a pair with an AMP and a sub as part of a 2.1 configuration. The consensus appears to be a no, but wondering if the One gen 2 changes that? I am looking at getting the new AMP and a decent pair of bookshelf speakers, but before I take the plunge wanted to know if the One Gen 2s could be considered as option on my bookshelf shortlist. Thanks!

'leaving' used to be my method of exiting the sonos controller app. With version 4.0 there is no obvious way to turn off the controller...can someone help?
