Spaces & Setups

So I own several Sonos One and a Sonos Beam and am very happy with what the system does. Having said that I am very frustrated with what it doesn't do. I have a Sonos product in every room in my house except my office. I work from home and do not like having headphones in my ear and prefer to work through a speakerphone. Unfortunately Sonos does not have a product that works as a speakerphone and the most frustrating point is that Sonos does not support Alexa phone calling, texting or any other outside calling feature. And NO, I do not want to buy an echo dot. So now I see that the Sonos Move is coming out and am very interested in the Bluetooth feature with the Far Field Microphone array. Unfortunately, I only see from the marketing about how great it is for talking with AI assistants like Alexa and absolutely no information about how it will work as a professional speakerphone. My Question is: Has the Sonos Move been tested as a Bluetooth speaker phone? If so how well do the far f

Hi, this is my 1st post so please be kind.I have a 2 month old LG OLD65BX and this supports Atmos - I have recently spent a fair bit on a Sonos setup that includes the Arc & 2 x 1sl’s. (Received the Arc yesterday)  I am trying to get Atmos through the Apple TV app from the TV and others but all I am getting is Stereo PCM 2.0 - can anyone please assist with what i can try to get this resolvedIt’s also worth noting that the TV has eARC and the Arc is connected directly into this port 

Is it possible to use upgrade program? if i have a connect that is not working ( not showing in My account) 

Hi all. Just got an Arc. Really bad audio delay when using Xbox series x - seems to be about 100ms. I have tried all the options in this forum but can’t improve it. Any tips before I return the arc? There is also a delay with my sky Q box but not as bad. Apps on tv play fine.thanks 

Wanting to hAve  singalong at Christmas … is there still a delay problem on Sonos move or can you get a Bluetooth microphone that works ok? 

This keeps happening all the time, any clue on why? Its not my wifi

hi i am having trouble deciding on the ceiling speaker placement… i did look at a few previous post but they are all slightly different and i would like to make sure. We have an open ish floor plan. and looking to have in-ceiling speakers for 3 zone ambient music.Zone1: lower left part there is living room (16x15), which i was thinking to have 2 pairs of L/R in-ceilling speakers.Zone2: Family room is at the upper right, and i am thinking to have the sonos arc set for watching TV (tv will be on the right side of the wall). Zone3: My main question is for kitchen, which is on the lower right. right now i have 1 pair of L/R speakers, but i wonder if i put a small table between living room and island for dinning, will the L/R be very unbalanced (2L from living room, 1R from kitcken? or i am over thinking here and don’t really need to worry about it because it is ambient music anyway? if this is indeed will be unbalanced and a bad idea…  Is it better if i put 4 on the right side? i also try

We have a pair of Play 5’s: Generation one speakers. Will they stream lossless 24bit FLAC from primephonic? I think I understand that the Generation 1’s will play FLAC - but not the 24 bit. Thanks to anyone who can clarify.

Hi Eveyonereading up I can see that using a AMP for back speakers disables the sub output!So I would need a Sonos SUB! But if I use an AMP for my existing B&W back speakers would I still be able to use Trueplay and calibrate them to the ARC and SUB? Or would two ONE SL be better?I already have a old 5.1 wired surround setup in my living room!and for music I would like to keep my bigger B&W 800 series front speakers but not sure that an extra AMP have the power to drive them… (I might miss my Center speaker? HTM1 ) Don’t know the quality of the ARC as Center?The TV should be eARC compatible OLED77C9PLAAlso my Shield Pro should be able to transcode DTS?But I have to make a decision to either go the SONOS way (User friendly and easy to use - no more HDMI inputs or buy a new surround receiver and some ceiling speakers also my TV is on a special mount where I pull the TV 65cm from the wall creating the perfect distance to the sitting position - So the ARC need to be mounted undernea

Why is Sonos radio not playing SHEIN FM 88.9 in Calgary any longer I’ve been listening to it and as of yesterday it says it’s no longer available

Hi combined with a Sonos ARC what is the optimal height of a set of ONE SL’s as rear speakers. The back of my sofa is to a wall. All of the official images picture the rear speakers Behind and at head height, when sitting in the sofa. My question is if i can mount the rear speakers via flexson brackets high up on the wall close to the cealing at 7ft 10inches (2,4m). Will it affect the surround experience when the speaker is basically above my head rather than behind?

Hi, the S1 app on my iPhone isn’t working at this time. It says it is connected when I press the 2 buttons on a speaker then reverts back to not working. my wife’s iPhone has no problems using the same app. thanks

How can I connect to my mobile router? Currently I just have internet via a mobile minirouter. Subsequently I cannot connect the ethernet cable to the router as advised in the set up on the Sonos app. I’ve tried connecting my Sonos One via the ethernet cable in my apt. and leaving the mobile minirouter close to the speaker. No success. Any advice, please? 

Hi guys newbie here but absolutely pulling my hair out with adding my surrounds to my beam.Beam works fine but when I go to connect the surrounds - it says that I need compatible speakers and check they are on WiFi.ive gone through the whole power down everything routine and start up one by one but nothing…I have even connected via Ethernet and nothing, it’s as if they are not even recognized at all as they don’t show up….. any help would be much appreciated 

Hi. I have just bought an LG OLED55CXPTA. The magic remote does not work to control the volume on my SONOS Playbar.    I understand that the issue is because the Playbar requires an IR signal and the Magic remote uses Radio frequency.    However I have found many solutions to this problem online for the LG C8 and C9 models to resolve the issue. However, the interface on the  LG CX models is not the same, it doesn’t give you the option to select a ‘Remote type’.    On the CX models you can select SONOS as a manufacturer of soundbar in the Device Connection Settings, but this doesn’t make it work. I almost got it working by using the ‘Phillips’ option saying no to the power option and then a Vol+ option case up which worked with the SONOS app instructions and I could see the IR light flash on the SONOS unit when doing so, but then the SONOS app asked for the Vol- button to be pressed and that option wasn’t available on Device Connection settings.    LG’s response is to simply say the

I’d like a nice stereo setup I can use with my tv as well as for streaming music and have settled on the Sonos Amp to act as the hub due to the compact size and it has all the connectivity I want.  I want to add on Sonos Ones in other rooms eventually. Now I really like the Wharfedale Denton 85s, but am slightly confused by all the different power ratings.  These speakers have a nominal impedance of 4ohms (min 3.8) and the manufacturers website recommends an amp of 20-120W.  The Sonos Amp is rated at 125w at 8ohms but that goes to 250w at 4ohms.  Would this be a problem?  Can an amp really have too much power for passive speakers?  Or will it just be overhead I’m not using? Any advice appreciated, cheersPete

Would be a problem using the original cover on SubG3 ?I just want to keep it clean and protect it from dust.  Thanks !

I have tried both sonos apps and neither work. When I press the app to launch it, all i get is the splash screen and that is it. No errors no nothing . The splash screen is all I get. I just got a new phone running iOS 14.2 and installed the apps from my backup of the old phone. Allow Network access is on for both app versions.  What the heck do i do now.

 Recently disposed on my Playbar, and considering a beam or Arc as a replacement.big price difference, but if i can’t make use of all the features of the arc might as well get a beam and put the difference to a sub and stick with the two play 3 for rear speakers.this is the tv will the arc connect and make use of eARC the Atmosthanks & Merry Christmas   

My lounge is approx 8m by 14m. we don’t have a TV here, so the playbar etc is elsewhere.it’s not a “party place “ either , but I would like to acheive “punchy” sound that can fill the room. Should I plan for an in-ceiling set ? Apair of  Play fives  ? Alternatively more Play threes or perhaps four or more play 1’s and a sub ?  What are your thoughts ?   

I’ve seen similar talk a few year back but nothing recent. Is it not possible to Airplay a Beam when it is bonded with other speakers? the suggestion seems to be to Group them instead but I’d have no proper surround if I do that. I’ve seen the explanations on the older Playbar etc but my three speakers are a day old and are sold as AirPlay compare ale with no mention of that being disabled when using them bonded.Are their any ways around this at all?

HeyI would like to purchase a set of Sonos ones but I’m not sure if I am wanting them to do to muchi currently have a large open plan space which has 2 echo shows and an Apple TV. I would like a pair of Sonos ones to wirelessly attach to the Apple TV (which I know is possible) but also wirelessly attach to BOTH echo shows so the one pair of speakers outputs all of the audio regardless of where it’s coming from (obviously only one decide will be steaming audio at any one time!)Am I asking to much, or is this possible?Thanks 

Hi,ive plugged in the amp, connected to my system and connected the hdmi arc cable.Slund is coming through the tv fine, but how do I turn off the tv link to play music instead?with thanksmark

So I have the Sonos Arc and like many many people here I’m getting audio dropouts while streaming through my android TV (Sony X900h).  I have it connected to port 3 (eARC port) and have changed the port to enhanced etc.  I also have a PS5 connected to port 4 (so both are on hdmi 2.1). I’ve never had a dropout or sound loss etc. from the PS5 so clearly sound can travel from one to the other, however I constantly get sound dropout from the Arc while streaming. I’ve seen advice to hardwire the Arc (difficult but I could do it) but how does it actually receive audio?  If I’m streaming through my TV (say the netflix app) and my TV then relays the sound to the Arc through the hdmi cable then how does hardwiring the Arc do anything?  Isn’t the data coming first through the TV and then to the Arc?  Is the video data somehow coming to the TV but the audio data getting sent via wifi?  Or am I mixing this up and the wifi is only an issue if you’re streaming audio to it say from your phone or thro
