Spaces & Setups

Having all sorts of bizarre issues with portables as rears all of a sudden. Anyone else had this in the past few days? Was working sweet when the update came out… is it a ios27 thing? Speakers are showing, they’re optioned to be used as surrounds, but now they’re immediately going offline. Is this a known issue?

Hi All, I am currently in the middle of an extension build, the end result will be open plan dining, then kitchen and an additional seating area at the end, this space is roughly 4.8m x 11m, 3m ceilings... I would like to incorporate speakers for music, and then TV/Movies and PS5 around the seating area. I like the sonos for simplicity and expanding at some point into the garden for summer BBQs.I was thinking either 1) Arc Ultra alone OR 2) Beam2, a sub mini and 2 x ERA 100s on the back wall (either side of the art on the picture) at the tv area, and a ERA 100 at the other end between the dining and kitchen for filling the area when only listening to music.We are at a point of electrics in the build, now I am thinking do I need 2 x 100s wall mounted at either side of the sofa for rear surround? My concern is that I obviously don't have the room to sit them behind the seating area, so will they be too much 'in your ear' for surround sound AND also if your lazying on the sofa listening t

Sonos please deactivate voice reply. It is so annoying and completely unnecessary. Awesome, great choice etc. Nobody wants it!!

This thread is aimed at all of us whom has a Sonos Roam product (and probably a few other Sonos products as well).This thread aims to solve the following issues:Sonos refuses to add google assistant as a voice assitant (getting stuck during onboarding) Google Assitant commands can only Stop and Say what it is playing, but not Resume / change it (timers still work) Sonos Roam only plays if directly adressed, otherwise responds with “I can not do this on this device”.I have already solved these issues, the step by step guide is posted bellow as a answer.The solution i found to these problems are as follows:Issue #1:This requierd me to do a full unlinking of the product to my google account,Remove assistant from Sonos app, as it tends to get added but not work Press the Cogwheel (Settings) in the top right Press General Settings Select Voice Assistants then remove Google Assistant from your device Remove the connection from the Google Home app Open the Google Home app Click on your p

Hey hey! My name is Nate, and this is my first post here! I wanted to describe what I’m working on, and see if anyone’s interested in it! It started out as a little project for me. I love having lyrics displayed for songs, and I wanted to figure out a way to have them display automatically. Turns out, it’s possible!  The current state of the project: •Seamless integration with any Sonos ecosystem•Connects to both Sonos and/or HomePods AUTOMATICALLY •Syncs with Philips Hue and Nanoleafs•Weather and photo Idle screens (Kinda like Aura Picture Frames)What you need:•Computer connected to WiFi/LAN, or Docker Container•Device that can access the internet browser (currently laggy on a fire stick, buy if you’re able to stick a mini pc behind a device it works like magic. I’ve gotten it to work on smart TVs, Xbox’s, and even just a chrome tab) (Do note that the help of AI was included in the making of this)I would love to hear feedback on the project, and if anyone would like to test, please le

I have sonos one with Alexa installed  when I ask Alexa to play a radio station it ill say now playing but i hear nothing

Looks like there’s some changes coming to Hue that gives further integration with Sonos. Use all Hue remotes and switches to control Sonos speakers. info is sparse at the moment but this was leaked on the Hue website so seems legit.  Lots going on at the moment!

Has anyone fiddled with the Apple Shortcuts automations for Sonos?  I created an automation to play every Sonos Room.  I know I could have just said “Hey Sonos. Play Everywhere”, but using that option plays the Rooms at whatever volume they were last set at.  The beauty using the Apple Shortcuts app is you can preset a volume for each room.  Unfortunately when I looked at what music can be played the choices were only radio stations in the Favorites list.  Has anyone been able to access Sonos Playlists as well as Radio stations?

I’m considering getting a Sonos Arc Ultra for my living room, mainly for PS5 gaming and movies. I’m interested in how well it handles Dolby Atmos, especially with games that support 3D audio.For those using an Arc Ultra with a PS5, how is the dialogue clarity and surround positioning? Do you normally use Dolby Atmos, LPCM, or another audio format?I’d also like to know whether the sound remains balanced at lower volumes. Any advice about TV eARC and passthrough settings would be appreciated.

Hello :) my Roam 2 speaker has a hissing noise when playing music. It’s like background static. Does anyone have a fix? thanks

I am trying to play classical music from SiriusXM and get the message that it can’t locate the server. I am using my Sonos speaker app. 

Being a quadriplegic I used to use Alexa to run a routine to operate the callbell in the nursing home. Since Alexa plus became available it continually fails to run the routines correctly. I understand sonos and EWElink can be connected to run routines by that System… how?

I have 2 samsung TVs in the same room.  I want the option of mirroring video content.  One TV has an Arc Ultra (with 300 surround x2 and sub 4) . When mirroring, I want sound to come from the Arc Ultra/home theatre set up.  How do I accomplish this?  I am a novice and would appreciate guidance. 

I’ve just seen on my Mac (running Tahoe 26.4.1) that the version of Sonos app I have on my computer will not open in future release of MacOS. Running Sonos S2 version 17.2. (the message directs me to an apple website to learn how to update to Apple Silicon version).I wondered if there will be a solution going forward or is this the end of the app for MacOS?  

I have a bedroom on the larger size. My bed sits against a wall with a slope above it. Opposite is a chair and ottoman, adjacent to that a chaise lounge. I like to listen both while in bed, and reading in bed, and would prefer stereo sound. I have two era 300, but am now rethinking. My options would be utilizing the two era 300’s, one by the bed, one across( doesn’t seem optimal) and either two era 100’s beside the bed or opposite, or four, two beside, and two opposite. I love even just the single era 300 I have, but two I think is overkill and won’t give me the stereo sound I’d like. Would love the communities thoughts!

I just recently set up my ArcEra3pairSub3 for the first time in 5 months. I swear, regardless of Netflix, HBO, Apple et al. app, the TV or Movie visual meta data showed up in the Sonos app play screen in the past. It certainly does now, when AirPlaying, but on from “TV Source”. There are many changes in the app from my last use, but I just can’t figure this out. First pic is AirPlay, second is “normal use”.  Thanks so much for your input

Hi, Another update, another problem.  Not sure where the issue lies, but within the Desktop app today, I noticed that my playlists didn’t display all tracks (around 450).  I opened Amazon’s Music app, and matched it to around 220 showing in Sonos.“ah well”, I thought, “I’ll just use the Android app instead”.  Same in there too…I see the service status for the Amazon service is green, so ‘all good’ apparently, hence the ask. Is this a new known issue introduced?  Is there an ETA on a fix for this? Thanks

I’m getting a message on my MacBook that the Sonos app will soon need to be upgraded because support for apps built for the Intel processors are being phased out. I have Sonos app version 17.2 and MacOS 26.4.1. Is a newer version of the Sonos app available?

In my front room, I run the TV audio through a Fire Cube. I have two Sonos Amps connected by HDMI-eArc.  One of the Amps powers a pair of front L/R main speakers and the second Sonos Amp is connected to a pair of in-ceiling rear speakers.I have used this setup with no issues for over a year now until recently I started having issues with the Fire Cube losing internet connection sporadially.  To test whether or not it was the Fire Cube or if it was something else, I swapped out a different Fire Cube from my Master Bedroom (MBR).I took the Fire Cube from my MBR and connected it to my front room TV.  Everything works fine, the sound comes on through my Sonos Amps EXCEPT now I am not able to control the volume of the Sonos Amps using the little Fire Cube remote.  The volume is adjustable through the Sonos ap, but that is not ideal.Is there some setting on the Fire Cube that I need to adjust so that I can adjust the Sonos Amps volume using the Fire Cube’s remote?

Can I set it up so that a music request to Alexa on the 100 is played on the 100 and 100 SL simultaneously

I have a few questions regarding how Headphone Linking, TV Audio Swap, and app control are going to work  for Ace Ultra in a couple different situations.Say you have a Sonos System with the following rooms setup.Room 1 - Arc UltraRoom 2 - Era 100Room 3 - Era 300Room 4 - Ace Ultra Scenario 1 -Action - Room 1 is playing TV Audio.  While in room 1, with the  Ace Ultra, press (hold) the content key to transfer TV audio to the Ace Ultra.  Audio stops on Room 1 and plays on the Ace Ultra.    Press the content key again while still in room 1.Result  - Audio stops on Ace Ultra and returns to room 1.  Standard TV Swap scenario. Scenario 2 -Action - Room 1 is playing TV Audio.  While in room 1, with the  Ace Ultra, press (hold) the content key to transfer TV audio to the Ace Ultra.  Audio stops on Room 1 and plays on the Ace Ultra.    Move to room 2 and press the content key.Result  - Audio stops on Ace Ultra and returns to room 1? (or does TV audio transfer to room 2?) Scenario 3 -Action - Room

Hi,since the last update Sonos Voice Assistant’s volume is fixed to a constant unintelligible low, one is unable to hear it nor is it possible to set it via the master volume. Would it be possible to give the users a separate Assistant volume control? Thank you. Moderator Edit: Thread is now a feature request to have a separate volume setting for SVC.

I have had my Sonos One device for 6 years and have never been able to connect Alexa to it. I recently tried again and it still will not connect. When it prompts me to log into my Amazon account it says my email address is already in use on another account. I have checked the devices under this Amazon account and there is nothing there for me to delete. There are no devices at all linked to my account. I have factory reset my device, the app, tried to create a new Amazon account (not possible without a new phone number) and am still unsuccessful. I am very close to giving up again, any suggestions would be appreciated. 

Feature suggestion: I don't understand why the equaliser and surround sound settings are not quickly available from the 'now playing' panel. When you are seeing what you are playing, that's when you might want to adjust sound/surround settings - it's the natural place for it - not hidden away deep in the settigns four or five clicks away. Makes zero sense to me. Please fix this!
