Spaces & Setups

Hi everyone,I’ve seen that in the iOS app you can access directly to the equalizer from the now playing screen.In Android app we don’t have this option, could you add this shorcut? I think is very useful and reduce a lot the time to modify equalizer settings.Thanks!

For my future basement renovations i’m thinking if I have left over budget in the project to buy some in-celling speakers and in-wall speakers but, I like the aesthetics of the in-celling speakers better so will the sound be compromised and not being tuned correctly beacuse they were designed differently verses in-wall + in-celling speakers? I could have all the speakers be celling but people say that sounds less room-filling than having celling and wall speakers. My current plan is to have a pair in-celling, pair in-wall, and a sonos beam.

When watching TV, the single most useful button on any remote is the mute button.The Android app has mostly handy functionally in the icon tray for quick access: play/pause, skip, back, adjust volume (which takes you to quick access to be able to do so, or to mute).  But it would be great to just mute right there in the icon tray Especially so because there is space available for it... presently there are options to do two things that seem random to me:  turn speech enhancement on/off and turn night sounds on/off.  It seems to me you'd want the icon tray buttons to allow you to quickly do what you do most often, and I can't think of why either of those things meet that criteria, whereas mute absolutely does.My vote is to replace one of those buttons with mute... Long live mute! Long live mute!

I believe the Roam and the Record player connect - both displaying blue light BUT no sound emerges from the Roam speaker. Can/should this work?

Hi, having sonos app running in win 10 would be possible adjust volume level of the sonos app from windows volume settings in the task bar?In the same way as we are able on android phone to adjust volume with phone physical buttons. In this way i could be able to adjust line in volume on play 5 using a remote controller connected to my minipcthanksregardsRenato 

Hi,I bought Optoma HD28hdr projector and sonos Beam Gen2 ( with subwoofer ). Can someone please suggest which HDMI splitter I should use. Please share the link, Beam Gen 2 has arc port and HDFURY arcana is very expensive.  Thanks

@Chicks, thank you for the port of your touchscreen controller to a view only HDMI code.  I’ve got your code installed on my Pi Zero W, auto login to shell, the Sonos.py script auto-running and edited to my named speaker group, and it connected to the HDMI on the big-screen.  Unfortunately, the Pi isn’t showing the artwork/music on screen, just the bash prompt after the linux boot menu.Can you direct me to what I am missing from the auto-run or the python or the output variable for the screen? Is there one more utility to be the front end?  Maybe my systmctrl of the Sonos app isn’t running?I needed to chmod your utility to executable, so that should be OK now…. Thoughts?

Is it possible to add  2 ( gen. 3 ) subs with a pair of play 5 using S2 software (same room) Thanks.

Hi, I have two questions  regarding my Sonos Roam which I hope somebody can help me with. Can I place my Sonos Roam in the bathroom? Will it be destroyed due to steam/moist from shower? Can I wirelessly charge my Sonos Roam on an ordinary QI charger (like what I use for my iPhone) or do I have to buy the special Sonos charger if I want it wirelesslybr, Alexander

Considering upgrading my system from S1 to S2 but slightly nervous that no sooner have I done so but Sonos will release S3 products that are not backwards compatible with S2 products. Does anyone have any thoughts or insight into whether such a release will happen, and if so how far into the future. S2 was released I think about 10 years after S1 so by that logic we are not far off an S3 release. If there is a future new gen on the horizon I'll hold off from upgrading now. 

Hi, Can you send me the tracklist for your pindrop radio station for the 20/21 & 22 January please? 

I have an LG OLED55CXPUA  TV and I'm using the Beam as my audio device.  It works perfectly thru the ARC HDMI port of my TV.  However, I want to extract either optical or analog audio using a HDMI Audio extractor and feed the HDMI thru to the Beam.  However I can't get any audio thru to the Beam or out of the optical or analog outputs.  Does anyone know a brand or model of an extractor that will work?  thks/Roger

So when I made a playlist on YouTube music I got all the other playlists and put it in one big one which I’d 1,500 songs for some reason on the YouTube music app it shows 1,500 but when I play it on Sonos it only shows 999 am I doing something wrong? 

I have an XBR TV ARC port connected to a SONOS AMP with speakers above the bed.Occasionally, I want to switch to the TV speakers instead of the Overhead speakers driven by the SONOS AMP.  When I open TV settings and switch to TV speakers, it does not switch.Even if I turn off auto playback on the sonos app, TV won’t switch back to TV speakers. in fact the TV insists on sticking with the ARC channel and I get no sound at all out of either locations.If I disconnect the HDMI cable out of the ARC port, the TV switches input. any thought ideas on this?  

I have a Sonos amp and I want to wire 4 speakers to it. 1 pair of svc speakers in bedroom, 1 dvc speaker in bathroom, 1 dvc speaker in closet. Can the amp handle that? All speakers are 8 ohms.

It seems that i have wifi and internet in order to play music on my sonosIs it so?

HI! So am trying to simplify my current setup which works with less stuff.  My PC is connected to the Beam via an old SoundBlaster X-FI USB and it’s SPDIF port.  Would love to get rid of said SB device so I tried two HDMI dummy plugs (the first is this one and the second is this one and I suspect it’s the same chip in both) as they list that audio will be passed through in 2.1 - so add a middleman to fool the PC graphics card (NVidia 1650) that there is a monitor connected in the HDMI port while the monitor is in the displayport connection for maximum refresh rates.Alas, with these 2 plugs, no sound whatsoever is coming to my Sonos Beam. So before I RMA the 2nd one as I RMA’d the 1st one, am I missing a setting or something to look out for?  Changed default devices, rebooted, nothing come out.If this is not working and will never work, anyone has a suggestion?  I could get a PCIe soundcard I guess, and look at displayport splitter (which does not meet the goal of removing external devi

Hi!  I am new to Sonos Family so I apologize if this is a really basic question.  My current set up is I have the Arc and two Ones and a Sub.  Typically- for TV I am watching/listening through Apple TV- sounds great- love it.  Noticed the other day that there may be a difference in how songs sound when I play them through Apple TV or through the Sonos App directly to the speakers.  Should that be the case?  Are there settings I should update on my apple tv?  Any help would be great.  Thank you!

My original optical equipment audio cord no long successfully connects the Sonos Playbar to the TV. Playbar works fine with other sounds sources. The Sonos Playbar using the original optical audio fails to make a working connection with two different TVs leading me to conclude the optical audio connector cable is the problem. The cord appears to have "female" to "male" plug-ins on both ends of the cord. I am unable to find such a replacement cord from the normal after-market suppliers. Does any  one know of a source for Sonos replacement parts? I am unable to find online connection to order a replacement optical audio cord that works with the Playbar. Unfortunately, I now own 3 replacement optical audio cords that will not connect with my Playbar and a TV and the orgianal which connects but does not work.  

I recently transfer my playlist from Spotify to apple music but it isn't working properly. should i use MUSCONV tool? anybody uses this before.

I treated myself to a sub for Christmas and one thing I noticed during the unboxing ceremony was how the casing didn't quite fit perfectly together along one edge i.e. the inset panel doesn’t sit flush with the outer casing. It is not something I'd think twice about normally but I am mindful of the premium price I've paid here and so was surprised to see it, not to mention somewhat disappointed given that both sides of the sub will be visible.I have included some photos to help illustrate (although I’m not too sure how well I’ve captured the issue - I think it looks worse in real life) and I was wondering if anyone else’s was like this i.e. is it ‘normal’?  

which is more recommended? use sonos roam connected to the electrical current or disconnected since I do not move it from place

With a traditional AV receiver, there are setting to adjust the distance (delay in ms) of the various speakers to align to the main listening position.  I’m adding the Play1 to my beam setup, and do not see that manual adjustment.  My question is does the auto setup actually account for the difference in distance and adjust delay to time align the system, or just simply adjust volume levels.  I ask because my beam will be about 14 feet from my listening position, an the play1’s about two feet.

I’m designing a new apartment and figuring out the best Sonos setup. I do have a bunch of products but want to do it right. Whats ideal setup for each room?To use wireless only? Or a mixture of wired and wireless?Thanks 

I’ve recently bought a Sonos Beam (gen 2) and want to connect my other Sonos’s to create surround sound from my TV. I have a Sonos Play:1 & a Sonos one. When I click on “Set Up Surrounds” it states it can’t find 2 compatible devices but I thought both the Play:1 & One can be uses in Surrounds. Is there a way to make these work together?
