Spaces & Setups

Hi!Is there the possibility to use a Sonos speaker connected via Bluethoot to the smartphone, in order to listen music even if in the house you do not have WiFi/Internet avaliable?For instance, I could use my smartphone connected to the speaker in order to listen either music stored in the smartphone itself or in streaming.Is that possibility vailable somehow?thanks!

The  split the system idea to S1 & S2 is straight garbage.  I  have over 15 sonos speakers in my home and Im supposed to start over again because Sonos wants to play games with the controller?   Now Im an angry customer whose taking a new play 5 back to the store.  Way to lose sales sonos …….brilliant idea to make new equipment that isnt compatible, if I wanted that, I wouldve bought a different and a cheaper brand of speaker.  I guess i get an old play 5 off ebay.  Because new speakers wont work with the previous models.

I just received my One SLs that I ordered from Amazon and I noticed the box says “Shadow Edition”.  Any ideas on what this Shadow Edition is and how it may differ form a “normal” edition?  Thanks. 

Some way or another I got my Roam connected to my TV Speakers. How do I separate them? I have TV Speakers + Roam. I don’t want the roam in here.

I previously used a Connect and an old Pioneer 100Wx2 receiver in one of my rooms. I decided to upgrade to the AMP and sadly, even though the AMP is more powerful I cannot get the same sound out of the amp. I would love to be able to boost frequencies to my liking, but the included EQ is too basic.I would hate to have to go back to the old connect and receiver. Please consider this my vote for a multi-band EQ in software.

Hi Every one.I am not a sound expert. I have been watching movies like 6 underground on Netflix and my Sonos app was showing that it is ATMOS. since few days now, the same movie is now showing “Dolby  multichannel PCM 5.1My Setting: ARC + SUB (gen3) + 2 one SL. With Samsung QA75Q60A to get ATMOS working I remembered I set eARC to auto. but now with the same setting ATMOS is lostIs Dolby Multichannel PCM 5.1 better than atmos?what can i do to get ATMOS back?

I have about 12 Sonos speakers - and all of them are connected to SonosNet - except for my Move (which must use Wi-Fi).  Whenever I play music - even if I’m not using the Move - as soon as motion is detected on my Ring cameras, the music will stop and I have to manually press play.  Most of the solutions I read here were to ensure at least one speaker was hard-wired to router (4 of my speakers are) and rebooting each speaker so that it joins SonosNet.  And that’s what I’ve done.  Still no luck.  Any ideas?

Hi all!I have researched, and researched without finding any true direction over the past few months. I have a 65 inch TV, and I am looking to get a sound bar, but not sure if the Arc is better than the Beam. I am also looking to set up surround sound, and a subwoofer would be great too. It’s obvious to me the Beam is going to be less pricey, so wondering if I should go that direction despite the size of my TV. I’m new to Sonos, so curious about a couple of things, like how many speakers could I pair with my sound bar? For example, would I be able to pear speakers throughout my apartment to it? Also, what does it look like when changing the volume on a Sonos sound bar? I haven’t had much luck seeing it in use on YouTube, just setup videos. Any help is appreciated here, I’m fairly new to this, but excited to (hopefully) one day watch my TV and listen to music in style. Thanks!

Can you pair a Sonos Playbase to a iPhone using BlueTooth?

Hi, I have a philips 10bdl4551t with Android 8.1 that I would like to install the Sonons App S2 on to control the sonos speakers in the office. But the philips 10bdl4551t is a pro screen and don´t have a playstore, I have manually downloaded akp, but it fails to install. Is there an official APK to install?

Hello all! I have a Beam (gen 1) that is connected via ARC to my Samsung TV. The default TV settings were PCM but I saw that there were Bitstream. I decided to try that but now the sound feels a bit quieter and more hollow. I then selected DTS Neo 2:5 and its hollow but I feel like it has more surround sound to it. Should I revert back to PCM? Whats the best? Thanks!Setting pictureshttps://ibb.co/jy8MGsxhttps://ibb.co/XjFBBmZ

Building a new home.  We’re going to have a TV outside under a covered patio.  I will most likely use a Beam w/ the TV.  My goal is to have a pair of speakers paired with the Beam to use as surrounds and mostly to be used as music for the back patio and pool area.I really don’t wanna buy the sonos amp (go passive).  So what are my options?  One SLs (which will need power and a wall bracket; are those OK to be outside if under cover? Can (2) moves be paired with the Beam to act as surrounds or are they only for music?  I figured the (2) Moves would serve as the best flexibility and they’re water resistant, but do they work with the TV?

Hello, i would like to ask you. I have a specific room for proper Sonos setup. And my questions is:Is it good to have soundbar (Arc or Beam) above the TV?    Will be a proper spacial audio from movies and music, when i have a angled roof and high roof? I am adding a picture, how the TV (55inch size) is situated.  Thank you for any answer.RegardsOndřej

hello, I am looking for a solution to connect my Epson EH-TW7200 projector to my Sonos system (beam+sub+one x2).The goal is to be able to connect my PC, my apple TV and my ps5 to my projector and have the sound come out on the sonos system when I choose to play the ps5 for example. are there boxes like this? To be able to connect all my devices to the projector and also have sound (dolby atmos)? wireless maybe?

What are your thoughts on using Sonos one (gen 2) as a sound system in a wedding venue.  Currently have 3, but could add to it for the day. Looking at ways to keep costs down by not hiring a DJ.  Thanks

I have a Move & Beam, they pair for music no problem. The Beam is connected to the TV with Hdmi arc and they both pair when watching the TV except the Move drops off regularly, how can this be prevented? 

About a few months ago my Spotify stopped playing songs 30 seconds into playing then on my wireless Sonos Playbar home theatre setup. It would also skip songs, and sometimes out of the blue it would start playing another song without any input from me, all using the Spotify App on my iphone. I researched many threads online and even contacted Spotify. I tried alot of the suggestions provided to no avail. Then I tried the Spotify App on my smart TV and it worked flawlessly. So why doesn’t the Spotify App work on my iphone?This got me wondering why. Then I read that Sonos only uses the 2.4 ghz wireless band and not the 5 ghz band. So I checked the wifi connection on my iphone and it was connected via the 5 ghz band. So I changed my iphone wifi to the 2.4 ghz band and now Spotify works flawlessly again. At least for the last week or so. I thought I would relay this to others with similar problems. Good luck.

I recently purchased a new AV set up: 2021 Samsung Frame 55” TV, Apple TV 4K, Sonos Beam (gen 2) with 2x One SL and Sub set up in 5.1 configuration (on the Sonos app). The Beam is connected to the TV (One Connect Box) using eARC cable The Apple TV is connected to the TV (One Connect Box) using HDMIWhen I play any Apple TV content (Netflix or Plex etc), the Sonos app only shows Stereo PCM, not 5.1. I have played around with the Audio settings in the TV (including changing the setting to Auto or Passthrough - neither fix the problem). I have ensured that all software is the latest version.The only way I can get the Sonos to play anything in 5.1 is when I use the Netflix app on the TV which is really patchy in terms of performance. I presume that this is because the HDMI that connects the Apple TV to the TV (One Connect Box) is standard HDMI only (not eArc). The problem is though that the One Connect Box only has one eArc port which I need to use for the Beam connection. Any help on how t

I have 2 x Play 1 speakers stereo paired and using the S2 app.  Can I but an additional single "one" and pair it with an old play 1 in stereo mode and put the other old single Play 1 some where else?

I have been using Sonos Desktop to play my stereo enabled Roams since Alexa just keeps telling me to get the skill I already have :). Now I have a problem using Sonos desktop to search music. Nothing is coming up at all except for “my music” that’s on the PC - none of the subscription tracks are showing at all. I saw this in a few dated threads but never saw a solution. My Sonos S2 desktop app was recently updated a week or so ago. Just wondering if anyone else has this problem or has a solution. (And other services are fine on the desktop app, and I can see my amazon music subscription fine from my iphone)
