Spaces & Setups

We’re new to the Sonos world and just installed the sonance outdoor 6 speaker / sub package that included the Sonos amp.  We’ve also got two Yamaha outdoor speakers mounted on our back porch and a surround sound receiver that is connected to our TV and ceiling speakers in our main room.  Trying to figure out the most efficient method to sync the two outdoor speakers on our patio and the surround sound system inside to the Sonos amp to create two additional “zones” to our existing sonance zone - any suggestions? It looks like I could get a Sonos port to sync one or both of those? Or would I need one port for each of those?

I currently have an Arc, a Sub and pair of One SLs, which sound great. I’m thinking of trying to connect my old Technics 1210s via an analogue Pioneer DJM-300 mixer (which should have the necessary pre-amps) and then a PORT.From what I’ve read, this sounds like it should work OK, and my primary purpose would just be for playing vinyl, but I’m wondering if it would be feasible to use this setup for actually mixing tracks. Would there be too much delay for that purpose?

Greetings. Currently have older discontinued Sonos multiple room set up and looking to upgrade. All rooms have in wall speakers that came with house (not sonos speakers) and set up with older Sonos amps. is it better to get new Sonos amps (would need 4-5) and connect to existing in wall speakers or just get a bunch of Sonos wireless sound bars and speakers for rooms?4 of the rooms have tvs, other rooms/patio do not

I've been a big fan of Sonos Radio HD since i started my trial and couldn't bring myself to cancel. It just sounds so great, and the station options are great so far; but I can't figure out how we don't have a Bollywood music station yet, or any Indian music at all, really. This seems like an obvious oversight; it's kind of a low-hanging fruit that would be a big crowd-pleaser. Do we just need to throw suggestions out there? (If this isn't the best forum for station ideas, I'd love to be pointed in the right direction.) On a more heartfelt note, the Metal music selection leaves so very much to be desired for fans of the more Nordic Metal styles. I think you could do quite well with a Swedish Death Metal station, or generally Nordic if you want to catch more content. The metal that is on Sonos Radio so far is just absolutely nothing like what I look for in metal music. I would call it more hard rock than anything, but I know I'm biased on that regard. And that's fine, but if you're look

I have an arc and would like to pair a speaker with it so a hearing impaired person can use it when watching tv. Can this be accomplished?

How to add existing Sonos product to the new room?Please let me know on this 

Is there still no way of removing the Sonos Radio menu option?

New BT router. Now no operating Windows S1 controller!All parts of the Sonos S1 system working, except the CR200 controllers, which now display the BBC Sounds and Qobuz Music Services, but cannot access either. S1 mobile apps working, but what a drag they are - sucking the life out of the battery and never with you when you need a controller!However, back to the Windows S1 Controller. It states it cannot see my (existing) system. I have tried all the suggestions: restarting the router, restarting the Bridge (I do not use WiFi to connect), uninstalling and re-installing the Windows Controller. On set up of the re-downloaded Controller, set up states the “app” is ready, however the Conroller continues to state it cannot see my system.Any advice gratefully received that does not include ditching the Controllers and solely using the mobile and iPad apps, or using WiFi to connect (it needs an ethernet cable to the nearest speaker, which being a Play 5 is not easy to situate to connect by ca

Just wanted to say I will never buy another Sonos product. With all the tech updates and going through wifi, it is far too frustrating to just get the damn speaker to just work. With all the other over-wifi tech solutions out there…..happy to say I CAN NOT WAIT TO SWITCH!!!!! 

We have two Sonos surround set-ups, one we use much more than the other, and I’m wondering whether to reconfigure to maximise the sound quality of the one we use most.  Current set-up: Room 1: Playbar and 2 x Play:3 Room 2: Beam, 2 x One, Sub We use room 2 far more than room 1. We’ve already moved the sub, which was originally in room 1.  But now I’m wondering whether also to swap the surrounds. Swapping the sound bars themselves would be more hassle so I’m disinclined to do that. I care mostly about music playback, and have the surrounds in ‘full’ mode, but improvements to TV sound would also be nice. On the face of it, “three” is better than “one”, right? So I’d assume swapping the surrounds would improve room 2.  But… given there’s already a sub in room 2, does that render some of the Play:3’s advantages redundant?  Similarly, the Play:3 is older tech than the One. Does that matter?  Finally, I don’t want to completely ruin room 1 so if downgrading the surrounds there will make thin

Hi guys, I’m going to get a Sonos soundbar and I also have to change my old tv. The matter is that it looks like Sonos soundbars can’t work with any tv, as allo the models I’m considering (above all LG C1 and Samsung QN90A) have many compatibility issues with Sonos.So I would like to understand.. which tv will work for sure with Sonos sonundbars? Any suggestions?

Hello everyone,  I just set up my Sonos Arc on a new samsung tv model and everything works fine, but the tv doesn't shows the volume level with numbers. Using the tv remote (ore the Sonos app) I can turn up and down the volume, but I can t see the level of the volume. Is there some setting that I missed? Thanks

I have 2 Roam and they both have issues connecting to bluetooth and have never been able to get them to find the wifi. These are terrible. We have done all the troubleshooting. Anyone have this issue and find a trick where you don’t have to re- set up 10 times to use them? 

Hello,I have tow Pay:1 units that were connected to Sonos 1 controller app. Then I moved to Sonos 2 app. Since that day one of my Play:1 is considered “not compatible”. Error 30 keeps popping… Is there any way that unit can be updated? I don’t really want to operate 2 Sonos with 2 apps as recommended by Sonos. Tks.

I’d love a widget that shows a list of speakers with volume sliders to allow quick volume adjusting. Does such a thing exist at all for iPhone?I know there are a number of third party ones but not sure if any do what I want?  Cheers for anybody info 👍

In looking at my profile there is a Playbar that should be removed.  It was sold with my house some time ago.  Is there a way to remove this item from my account?

Hi,  I want to ask you, yesterday connected Sonos ARC to my Philips Oled, very easily achieved Dolby Atmos from TV to Soundbar. At this moment ARC is standalone (without Surround and sub).  And What i noticed:  Movie - very good quality - everything is fine - bass more then enough for my needs, surrounds effects quite well. (it this situation i plan to add only Sonos One as a surround speakers without sub)   Youtube music from TV - the same as above - bass is very good for me and sound quality more then good. At evening sound volume - ~25% is enough.  Music from S2 app with TV off - very disappointing -- no bass - flat sound, I’m not sure is it better then my Sonos One sound . I need to increase volume to 50% to fill the room (from youtube i need only 25%)I little better when playing form local media then from Spotify but still have some doubts.    So Hardware is ok - plays very good but why i notice this loss of bass and quality using Spotify or playing from S2 - and why i need to inc

First of all I have an Arcana in this loop. But everything was working fine until it quit working fine. So today I unplugged Sonos Arc HDMI cable from the TV and the Sonos Arc, unplugged power cables from the wall for the TV & the Sonos Arc. Waited like 5 minutes. Plugged the HDMI back into the Sony Arc port and then the Sonos Arc. Powered up the tv and the Sonos Arc. Sound from TV to Sonos ARC worked. Unplugged the Sonos Arc HDMI  from the Sony TV arc port and plugged it back into the Arcana. Went to the Sonos iPhone App, System, Arc + the surround sounds, including Sub, TV Setup, Let’s get your Sonos Arc SL connected to your TV, Connected cable to Sony Arc and sometimes it will go to the next screen but only to give me a failure something like not connected. I’m befuddled. Everything was working and now it’s not. 

I am about to test if i am actually getting the right bandwith when streaming from Tidal. If not - no need to pay the extra bucks.But i can not find that information anywhere in controllers:I find the status page for the players: http://x.x.x.x:1400/statusBut no - I can not find that information here? Anyone?  

We have the PlayBar, Sub (gen 2) and two architectural ceiling speakers driven by Sonos Amp.  These makeup the living room.  Bedroom we have two Sonos One SL’s configured for stereo.  Wondering if we can move those One SL’s into the living room to potentially improve dialog when watching movies.  Our default movie streaming is Apple TV+ 4K connected through LG 55SK9000.   Have tried setting Apple TV+ audio format both to 5.1 and then Dolby Atmos.  Most movie dialog comes through muffled or low volume.  Cranking up to hear dialog then blasts us out with action scene audio.

HiThe only non-Sonos speakers I have is a Bose SoundTouch 130 sound bar & Sub in my basement. I’m wondering if the Sonos Port will allow me to add the Bose system to my Sonos app. The Bose has a co-ax port, is it as simple as buying a port, running a line from the digital out into that port on my Bose then setting it up? Or am I way off and oversimplifying this whole thing? I’d like to avoid buying an ARC and Sub for the basement simply because we don’t use it that often. Thanks. Bose Unit for reference: https://www.bose.ca/en_ca/support/products/bose_home_theater_support/bose_soundbar_and_1_speaker_home_theater_support/soundtouch-130-home-theater-system.html#v=soundtouch_130_black

Hi, haven’t purchased yet but ogling & can’t find answer to this specific question.Will Roam link with Symfonisk Bookshelf? I don’t want the Picture Frame or Lamp Base…Thanks in advance!!

At the moment it takes 30mins for the Roam to completely switch off and I’ve measured that the battery drains about 4% while waiting for the battery saver to work.  I would like the option to reduce this to 5mins or even make it immediate in the Sonos app. This should not be difficult to implement!Thank you!

I have 2 Move speakers , mainly for versatility of indoor and outdoor. When indoor, I’d like to get a bit more bass. Would getting 2 Fives to work with my 2 Moves be worthwhile to achieve this? Or would it not offer anything? Assume if all connected to WiFi they would work in synchrony?
