Spaces & Setups

I want to give a shout out to the Sonos engineering team for FINALLY moving the EQ settings to a spot that requires only one click instead of going into a deep dive into the system settings every time you wanna make a simple adjustment to bass or treble!  I suggested this more than a year ago.   I also like that new app version allows you to change the volume incrementally using the plus and minus icons and how it switches between volume and EQ settings, depending on where you click. Very good design. 

When will this new version of Sonos Voice Control be available and how do I set it up if I currently have the normal Sonos Voice on my speakers?

When will Sonos integrate AI, such as Grok, into its software?

With Ace Ultra around the corner, the early feature list and reviews look genuinely strong. It seems like Sonos listened to feedback, and that deserves credit.But for those of us who bought the original Ace at or near full price, the launch leaves a sour taste. Ace Ultra is a clearly better product at the same price point, and resale value for the original Ace is already dropping fast. That's the nature of tech, and most of us accept it.Even harder to accept since it seems the original Ace isn't eligible for the Sonos trade-in program. Many of us bought in early, stuck with the product through its rough patches, and sent feedback that likely helped shape Ace Ultra. Being left out of the upgrade path makes it hard not to feel like we paid a premium to beta test.Just asking Sonos to recognize its early Ace customers, whether that's adding the original Ace to the trade-in program, offering a loyalty discount, or something else. It would go a long way toward keeping longtime fans like me i

Hallo all. Sonos is great. Especially the round the house music. Question - can a setting be put on for auto switch off? Quite often I wake up in the morning and realise I didn’t switch it off. Laziness / forget about it in other room / fall asleep on sofa etc. The sleep timer is useful but don’t want to remember to set it every day. Would be easier to say ‘always switch off at midnight’. Automated smart house so would like that to fit in also!Many thanks! 

I have been using Sonos for over 10 years mainly hassle free, but I have just moved from the S1 to S2 because of getting new hardware an now all my Compilation albums are showing as single tracks in my library. I see from posts, this was a problem before but can't understand why this has happened now?I am using the latest app build and my system is set up to auto update. 

I mostly use tidal as my fav streaming service. In tidal I can create a playlist that then will appear in my sonos app (Android).When in sonos if I search for a song I can add it to a sonos playlist... Great! But then where are my sonos playlists? I don't see any "my sonos" button in my home screen. The only way I can see my playlists is by adding a song to them and pressing on the notification I see among the lines of "the song has been added to 'your playlist'".

Thank you all for your input in the community. I have an older Sonos soundbar with an optal icconnection cable, but my new TV lacks the port to support it—is there any way I can still use the soundbar?

I use my Beam to watch tv and listen to music, requiring two very different sound profiles, which means every time I swap I have to adjust BassTrebleLoudnessSpeech enhancement Night soundSub levelThis is tedious, would it be possible to have a simple “button” to switch between profiles?Thanks, Neil. 

How to toggle shuffle in Amazon music

I have been trying to connect for some time now and have exhausted menu options between the two. Any help greatly appreciated. I have a new LG C5 TV connected to the Sonos amp via approximately 12 feet active HDMI cable running from the TV to the amp in the basement. Well, I can get sound initially though ultimately cannot switch to another tv audio source. I can never revert back to television speakers nor play music from the amp. Additionally I have found that this will put the amp into a protected mode (blinking orange). I did not have any power source connected to the HDMI cable (active). I have read throughout this forum the incompatibility between the CEC HDMI arc and the LG line. I also have two HDMI cables routed in opposite directions.  I have tried every menu option available on the amp via Sonos as well as the television. (Powering down and restarting as well). I even tried a new amp.  But before I go about changing the cables, (which would take considerable work to reroute)

It is clear that Sonos will not be updating the controller to run on Apple silicon. That’s where we are. Using a web based app concerns me:Internet access is not universally good Privacy concerns and the value our choices of music etc have to Sonos to either use or sell on. Our “options” would be a zero sum game. Given that I am almost certainly not alone, there are folk who have third party apps that are more players than controllers, by which I mean many configuration aspects like adding speakers etc. aren’t an option. They just play stuff on Sonos hardware. So, where are we to go once Rosetta gets canned and using a web based app is either unattractive or technically unviable?  Recommendations please 🙂 

 Quería plantear una cuestión relacionada con la configuración de Home Cinema y la entrada de línea mediante USB-C.Actualmente tengo un sistema compuesto por una Sonos Arc Ultra, un Sub Mini y dos Era 100 SL configurados como altavoces surround. Cuando los Era 100 SL están vinculados al sistema de Home Cinema, no puedo utilizar de forma independiente la entrada USB-C de uno de ellos para conectar un tocadiscos y reproducir el audio a través de todo el sistema.Considero que sería muy interesante que Sonos permitiera configurar dos modos de funcionamiento dentro del mismo sistema, sin necesidad de desvincular o volver a configurar los Era 100 SL cada vez:Modo Home Cinema: Arc Ultra + Sub Mini + Era 100 SL como altavoces surround. Modo Música: utilizar la entrada USB-C de uno de los Era 100 SL para conectar un tocadiscos y reproducir la música en todos los altavoces del sistema.Desde el punto de vista del usuario, sería ideal que el sistema pudiera detectar la entrada USB-C y permitir sel

HiI bought an era100 speaker for my daughters bedroom specifically to use with voice control via tidal. I was unaware at the time that this was not compatible in the UK. My question is will this be fixed with the S27 software upgrade in the UK?

I have a few older speakers that still work great. I would like to take advantage of Sonos's upgrade discount when I buy a home theater system. Can someone show me where to find the "update" (or is it "upgrade")? Thanks!

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!!

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?
