Spaces & Setups

Just wanted to share the good news that I am successfully deploying the SMBv2 protocol on my Synology NAS (DSM 7.0.1-42218) with the Sonos App (version 13.4). Moreover, the NTLMv1 authentication is no longer needed. 

J'aimerais me procurer un sonos beam 2. Est-ce que le son sera bon s'il est connecté avec mon téléviseur intelligent Samsung 65 pouces et un plafond cathédrale haut de 22 pieds? Je ne recherche pas nécessairement un son extraordinaire, mais meilleur que celui de la télé. Merci.

There are a lot of people with questions regarding Sono Port sound quality, and the topics always seem to be closed.  I just acquired a Sonos Port because I was excited about adding that capability to my HiFi setup. I was excited about the functionality, and the Port accomplishes the connected and streaming tasks just fine, love the automatic input selection for the Aux input.But the sound: It’s flat, lacks detail, it even sounds like there is an arbitrary roll-off on high and low frequencies.  The imaging is horrible. Music sound “canned” and “lifeless”. For those just using background music while they have a dinner party, you wouldn’t notice. But if you intend to just sit back with a glass of wine and listen to music on purpose, the sound is sorely lacking.I’m using “good” quality components: vintage Marantz Receiver (restored) and relatively new BW Speakers. I’m not trying compare Spotify to listening to vinyl (which sounds great on my system), but I expected the Port to sound as go

We have a Sonos beam in the lounge, more than pleased with it, but we also have a spare Sonos One and Sonos SL, i see you can connect tem to the beam, but the placment seems to say they need to be behind yor listening/viewing position. Is this definate, as we cant get them into that position, the only way its possible is on brackets high on the rear wall, unfortunatley that is ruled out by the Mrs. it seems a shame to keep the speakers in the cupboard, what would happen with them in front of the viewing point, not near the beam about 4ft away on each side. If this is not possible i will get rid of them. Last question is re a Sonos Sub, is it worth getting a Sub just to use with the Beam. I missed out on getting one from the Sonos Refurbished, they only have white in,im waiting for them to get the black  refurbs in. Any advice appreciated

This is still a ongoing issue for me no matter how many times I reboot, reinstall, etcit now plays silence for the first 10 seconds of songs sometimes along with the usual faults - song not encoded correctly skipping past added next song.I used to love my Sonos set up but over the last 6 months it’s been absolute rubbish. Im still not sure if it’s a Sonos, spotify or router fault. will this ever be solved? I was at one point thinking of buying a roam but with how this lot performs I don’t think I’ll bother.  so frustrating 🤦🏼

Hi,I am looking for a suitable soundbar that can be connected to an amphifier / CD player / turntable. I am old-school, own more than 3000 CDs and 1000 Vinyl and even  though I don’t use any streaming services, an additional bluetooth option would be perfect to play mp3 from my phone / iPod. This combined with Atmos would be fantastic.Any recommendations are very much appreciated.Thanks!  

If I listen to music or radio on Roam and set the volume to, say 35 (because it is daytime and I like to listen to it loud) then there is a problem early next morning. Usually I will say to Alexa on Roam, “volume three“ then “What is the time?“. Even if Alexa says that the volume is three when I ask “what is your volume?“, Roam will shout the time at me (and the neighbours) unless I adjust the volume manually using the Sonos app. For example, just now the volume on Roam using the Sonos app is 33. I have just asked Alexa “what is your volume?” And she says “device is at volume seven.”

Bonjourj’utilse actuellement chez moi un SONOS one en partage de connexion avec mon PC (je n’ai pas de box internet)Je ne sais plus comment j’ai réussi a faire fonctionner ma sonos one comme ca (ca doit être l’âge) mais ca marche !j’ai acquis récemment  un sonos port pour écouter mes vinyles , mais je n’arrive pas à le connecter avec le sonos one…je suis donc preneur d’un conseil pour réaliser cette configuration si elle est possible Merci par avance pour vos réponse  

They always say that there are no silly questions, well here is my challenge.Just been reading up on the Sonos radio station, I already have an Apple Music subscription for me and my partner which we currently listen to on our current Sonos system, is there any advantages to paying for this service?  Do any of you guys have multiple streaming services?Cheers in Advance  Andy 

I have done loads of reading and know the generic answers but noticed the hive mind is really good on more specific scenarios too. So…. My daughter kindly bought me the world’s most expensive present… Graceland on vinyl which has got me experimenting with a turntable and buying more albums that force me to sit and listen. 🤷 😍I’m in a small British cottage with less than ideal places to put speakers. I bought a Five with the turntable.  On its own, it sounded nice but not better than the single One you can see on the shelf. I really can’t put my finger on why and tried re-doing Trueplay several times. I tried a stereo pair of Ones vs the Five and obviously that sounded great. I was all up for getting a Port and popping another One in the top left corner using a wall mount.Thing is I’ve been able to find a pair of Fives second hand for a great deal, albeit a bit more than I had planned.Although I know the Fives would be great in a big space would they actually be bad in a small space? 

I tried to connect my dad‘s new LG A9 with the Sonos Playbar. Unfortunately, I don‘t have the device here, so I can‘t recall the menu steps exactly, but the setup guides that you mostly find for setting up the bar as Philips Soundbar and then connecting to the remote, seem to follow a different version of WebOS than the most current one - so I can‘t exactly follow the tutorials I find online.I managed to get to the point where I go to Settings -> External Devices -> and can then somewhere set up a Soundbar, where I choose Philips. I am then instructed to press a button on the remote and direct it towards the soundbar - however, that button is the Power Button! It‘s not asking me to press the Vol+ button. So naturally, when I press that button the TV just turned off and nothing chaned.I also followed a tutorial where I go to the Sonos App at the abovementioned point - Sonos App then says to hit Vol+, but the TV says to hit the Power Button. When I hit Vol+, nothing happens. When I

I have audio dts file when I play it it says stereo pcm I have the latest Sonos app

Hi , I turn off CEC at night so that we can use the TV speakers ( soaps for the wife ) and when I come down in the morning and turn on CEC it doesn't turn on audio through the bar , I have to go in sound settings and choose hdmi . If CEC is on and I turn it off then put it back on a few minutes later sound comes out of the beam fine , just wondering why if it's left along time it doesn't trigger or wake the beam , thanks 

Hi, I think it would be great to add the same HDMI ARC input to the SONOS PORT as the SONOS AMP have today so PORT can be seemlessly integrated to a TV set in the same way as Sonos AMP can but then use an amplifier and spreakers of choice. This would be a great upgrade in my eyes. Thanks /Fredrik

Hi there! Just got a Beam. I understand to get sound to it from my fire stick I need to split the signal and send to the projector and then the optical/hdmi converter. I’ve never used an optical cable before and I can’t figure out if the long cable needed should have two different ends (a male/female) or the same end? 

Hi all,Been a few years since I posted so sorry about what could be a silly question.  I have just purchased the Move and one (part of a package).  Now, as I believe the play 3 has been replaced by the Move, am I assume that the play3 will still work once the Move has been activated?Another question, if the Play3 will still work (which. hopefully I assume it will), will I be able to move this into the lounge and activated with the beam? Or could I locate the Move into the lounge and use it for mulipurpose - Beam & Move and  Move by itself 

My Sonos app on my Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e gives the error, ‘To group, make sure Kitchen is connected to WiFi and is set up on this system” when I try to add or select one of my other 3 Sonos speakers. I can select any combination of my speakers from my PC or Galaxy S10 phone. If I select one speaker from my PC, that is the speaker that my Tab S5e will get stuck on, with the above message. I’ve tried restarting my tablet and the one Echo Dot in the network.

Hello All,  First let me apologize if this scenario has been posted before but i cannot seem to find it.  I have a Sony OLED A90J set up with a sonos arc+ sub and surrounds, using the tv apps and directv box and it works great. However in the same room i have a benq projector, on an older bose system, it is also running a an amazon firebox and another mini set top box from direct tv.  What i want to do is get rid of the bose system and someone toggle from tv to projector with both of them taking advantage of the arc + surround. is this possible?  

Good evening everyone, welcome back and greetings from Rome  I have been a happy owner of the ARC soundbar and the ONE speakers for a few weeks (waiting for the Sub ...) As you know better than me, we have the ability to listen to Dolby Atmos with our ARC.Unfortunately, the various Playstations 4 and 5 do not have the possibility to play this format ...What do you recommend for watching bluray and 4k movies and taking advantage of ARC's dolby atmos?Thanks to everyone as always! 

Hi everyone , my TV setting for hdmi input has pcm or bitstream ,my sky+ hd is connected to my TV via HDMI , sky box is set to Dolby digital .Beam 2 plus surrounds are on hdmi arc , shall I set my TV to pcm or bitstream ? Thanks  

Home do i connect sonos ti streaming device (e.g. YouTube)? Thank s a lot

Does the Playbar wall mount work with the Arc?

We are having an extension built with a sloped ceiling, the room will be about 9m x 4m. we want a tv on the wall at the far end on the picture below with a Beam and want some surround speakers; currently thinking ceiling speakers wired to an Amp. My questions are:Will ceiling speakers sound odd in a sloped ceiling?How do we position and configure the speakers to give ok stereo for music and ok surrounds for tv?Will 2 speakers be enough in that size room?  

How does the sonos turn of? I can't turn  it off

Hi everyone, I’m new to this and have tried to find the answer elsewhere, but cannot fully satisfy myself that I’m finding the correct answer and would really appreciate any help you can offer.We are about to (potentially!) purchase the home cinema bundle  -  Arc, Subwoofer gen 3 and x2 One speakers. Now, from looking at other discussion boards on here I am already doubtful that we can arrange the speakers and possibly the subwoofer as planned…. we are planning to put cutout shelves in a stud wall that faces our sofa ( - it should never have been installed in the first place as they boxed in the emergency stopcock behind this, so needs some action anyway, but I digress..)  Now our original plan was to have the x2 Sonos Ones on the left and right upper shelves, with the arc on the same shelf as the tv and the subwoofer on the very bottom shelf below the TV as per my diagram that I drew for the builder (please excuse my drawing ‘skills’!)I just wanted to keep everything as neat as possib
