Spaces & Setups

After researching, tracing and trying multiple config changes finally got my Sonos S1 working with TrueNAS-13.0-U6.2. Here my configuration, hope it will helps others: Services / SMB:Enable SMB1 support: checkedNTLMv1 Auth: checkedGuest account: nobodyAuxiliary parameters: unix extensions = No Sharing / SMB:Name: MusicPath: </your/path/to/music>Purpose: No presetsEnabled: checkedEnable ACL: checkedExport Read Only: checkedBrowsable to Network Clients: checkedAllow Guest Access: checkedAll other checkboxes: uncheckedAuxiliary Parameters: public=Yes Sharing / SMB / Share ACL:Share Name: MusicSID: S-1-1-0Domain:Name: EveryonePermission: FULLType: ALLOWED  Then on you Sonos S1 phone app, go to Settings and "Music Library Setup" and add://<IP_OF_YOUR_NAS>/Music(leave user/passowrd blank)

I have a large living room and am biting the bullet and moving away from a surround sound receiver setup with a sub to use Sonos speakers.   i plan on buying an Arc , with a sub and two surround speakers.   First question is if i’m paying over $2K for the setup should i go ahead and pay $100 for the Arc Ultra (inclined to do so) .  Next question is a bit tougher.  I’m a senior citizen  I enjoy music but rarely listen to music through my TV setup.  The speakers will be used 99% of the time to stream TV shows and movies.  As best i can tell the Era300 speakers are terrific but may not be worth the extra $$ for my intended use of them  ie surround sound.  I do like a full room sound when watching movies but I suspect the Era100 will be more than adequate (and likely a big improvement over my existing setup).  My wife is more concerned with how many remotes she will have to master and whether we can get rid of massive amounts of wiring behind the equipment ?Trust the answer yes to both :) 

Available app update as of November 4 but the release notes in the app store are exactly the same as 80.11.39 and the Sonos release note site hasn't updated yet. No noticed changes in user interface on iOS 18.1. No associated hardware update. Nothing for the Ace.What's the point? 

Sonos will lose market share if they don't make their selections for a  diverse audience. After spending several hundred dollars for Sonos speakers I am finding their audio selection very limited.  These are my speakers, I should be able to listen to more than the Sonos limited selection. For example adding a podcast like Wondery. I am researching other systems. 

I’ve lost connection with my play and I cannot find it again

I am running a 2 year old Arc with a Sub gen 3 and an Amp powering Klipsch 8” wall speakers in a vaulted ceiling configuration as surrounds (they work well). I can afford an Ultra, keeping the Sub and the Amp. Or I can retain my current Arc and purchase a pair of Era 300s and stands. My screen is a 65” Bravia approx 12 feet from the couch. it is mounted on my fireplace mantle with my Arc underneath. Any height signals only need to travel approx 3 feet before hitting the ceiling. The vaulted ceiling rises from 8 feet to about 11 feet, bisecting my living room from left to right, then back down to 8 feet. It is my understanding that this divide will partially defeat the Atmos effect.So which choice is best? Ultra/sub 3 with Klipsch? Or existing Arc/sub 3 with era 300s? The 300s would encounter the same ceiling vault from the opposite direction.Thanks. 

Am considering Arc Ultra, my first foray into sound bars, and wondering if this new product is worth the hype?

What is the voltage coming out the subwoofer out on the Sonos amp?

Hello all!Building a house, and in our main family room (not a great room, but a separate space for TV and hanging out), I want to have a good theatre system.But, I (and definitely my wife), don’t want to have Era 300’s sitting on stands.  She couldn’t handle that, aesthetically.So, what is my best option for a Surround Sound system?  Is Atmos possible without Era 300s?  I could possibly mount Era300s on the wall, but I know she won’t like that either.I would prefer doing ceiling speakers, an amp (or two), combined with an Arc Ultra and Sub.  What would you recommend?

Hello all!I read in the Arc Ultra release that Truplay for Android is now available.  Does anyone know if it’s available for everyone or for just Arc Ultra owners? If for all….how do I get it?Here’s a snap shot of the Arc Ultra release…bolded by me…. Thank you! Theater Sound in Your Living Room: Arc Ultra delivers a massive sound stage that precisely places every detail of sound in your room to envelop you in content. The all-new architecture features 14 Sonos-engineered drivers, including a Sound Motion™ woofer and a cluster of tweeters with waveguides on both ends to deliver a 9.1.4 spatial audio experience. Tune with Trueplay™ to pinpoint the best sound for your space, now available for both iOS and Android.

Simple question as a dealer/installer/user:  When will the ability to select and control “Line-In” return?  On the “gold” app, it was part of the “Browse” screen at the bottom of the list of services.  IT IS NOW GONE.  One may presume it should have been in the “Your System” area, but who knows?  Whereas I have reviewed many complaints and issues with the deprecation of features in the new app, the inability to control Line-In is not only a devastating loss, but a liability as many users have purchased the products specifically for their ability to support a Line-In.  I am referring to the “Keith N” response of two days ago and the bullet list of the five features/issues that there is a supposed date for them to return.  See image below and there is NO LINE-IN: 

Looking to upgrade to a living room Samsung 55” frame tv with some older Sonos (I think play:3s) components that are presently used in the room solely for digital music, but I’d like to incorporate the TV. Also have a Sonos Pro-Ject turntable I’d also like to add to the system from a side room. Obviously I need to add some components, but not looking to go nuts (don’t really need/want crushing Atmos sound, but would appreciate a bit more than just the Samsung built-in speakers) and don’t want to use a soundbar (don’t want to see another component - I prefer the low-impact of a frame tv with a hidden in-wall box w Apple TV) to keep it super clean and simple. The turntable is in another room, so think I just need a Bluetooth enabled remote speaker to add that to the overall Sonos system? And as far as the TV, can I use the Play:3s in tandem with the TV speakers? I’d be open to adding a sub under the couch or otherwise hidden and MAYBE a central speaker if it could be hidden. Thoughts/adv

Has anyone found a fix to sign in to Amazon to add Alexa? I know this was asked 6 months ago but wondered if there has been any update? As everyone else was saying, get all the way to sign into Amazon then it fails.....

Can I use the mini sub with the arc soundbar?

I have the ARC. Is the new one that much better that I should spend the $$$? thanks. 

Just a word of warning before you face a new world of angst/hurt, the new version of Norton (version 24) appears to suffer the same failings as the sonos app supposed  ‘upgrade’. They are using the customers for QA !!! Head on over to the Norton forum for further info and turn off auto update till you see if the issues affect you. *This has been a public service announcement by someone who is fed up of tech firms thinking ‘if it aint broke, then lets break it!’

Long story short, I have a "second system" because the buyer of my old Sonos Roam will not register it. I wrote them and they said they just use it as a bluetooth speaker and will not be registering it (at least they got back to me?). How can I get Sonos to remove it from my account? It's causing issues with playback by confusing the two 'systems'.Please note I've also already contacted them via chat, no success, no help.

I have been reluctant, for over a year, to update from the S1 software to S2 software on my devices. The  speakers on a whole house system that are integrated together. I want all my devices on the same system. Sonos updated without my permission a year ago and I lost a speaker because once it was updated to S2 it could not be changed or downgraded back to s1, this was a One SL speaker. It was frustrating  I worked with Sonos for months for a fix or a resolution, but never got one. I still have my first Sonos item I purchased  a Zone Player  S5, the original, It still works and sounds great. If I update to S2 this will not work with my whole house integrated system. I just want to know if anyone can give me any answers of what the advantage would be to upgrade to S2 from S1 I am currently have been using for years. I am not having any problems with the S1 software. Please help.

I’m the happy owner of 2 play:5 gen 1 speakers. The speakers are paired and I use them to stream classical music mostly from Apple Music. I would like to replace them with 2 sonos fives. At first, replacing them with the fives seemed like a nobrainer to me, but now I’m wondering if chosing a pair of era 300’s wouldn’t be better. I read that the fives are punchier, but are they also better for classical music ? I know this is also a matter of taste, but I would really like to hear experiences from others. There is probably no bad choice.

I know many threads exist with this exact feature request and Sonos staff acknowledged it over a year ago.So, SONOSWhy can’t we remove SONOS Radio? We never listen to it and please don’t force things on us 

Music library not found. Tried everything with no success. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance!

I would like to upgrade my existing Arc gen 1 to Arc ultra, but I cannot claim the upgrade discount mentioned by many on the Sonos website. In addition to my registered products under the system tab, the update option is not offered. Arc + 2 x Sub Gen 3 + 2 x Era 300After a little research, I was surprised to notice that Hungarian users are not eligible. It is more interesting, considering that all neighboring countries do. There is Hungarian support and service, but no upgrade discount? So how is this?Moreover, it is the same with my friend who lives in London. He also has the same Sonos products, but the upgrade discount is not available there either.Do you have any ideas how we can get the 15% discount?

Been trying for days now done all what people say to do reboot the beam reboot the router uninstall Sonos app and reinstall it same as Alexa app and I still can't get Alexa to work on my Sonos beam 

Hi all 👋So my playlists are now in Favourites My question is, how do we create a new one ie best of an artist or fav tracks, or add to exsiting?Is this  feature coming back?Also the main album artwork is not showing but it is agains track listing Thanks  

Why the new system is not the same in Apple IOS like in Windows? In windows I can make new playlists and add a song or a directory from home network BUT NOT in IOS? Or (maybe) I'm idiot? 😄
