I want to extend my Sonos System (Playbar in one room and a PLAY:1 in another room) with AirPlay 2 functionality. If I extend my Playbar with two ONEs as surround speakers, will I have full access to AirPlay 2 functions?

Hello! I want to see a playbar with hdmi support. Or if you manage to decode Dolby TrueHD to Dolby 5.1 with your current playbar so we can keep enjoying good sound with sonos. It's actually a shame that such a good sound system like Sonos, and if we consider what it costs, doesn't support Dolby TrueHD or at least have the ability to decode it to 5.1. Instead we end up with stereo sound when watching today's movies. If you use chromecast Ultra, the sound is stereo. Google movies, stereo, if you don't choose to play the movie through Youtube... and so on. That's just...old...out of date. Please make this happens. I promise you it will be an win-win situation for both you and us. I know this has been discussed many times before but it seems that you just keep looking the other way. Best regards!

My Connect was working fine. All of a sudden it stopped working. Went to check on the unit and it was off. No lights on. I tried turning it back on and I get a white light for a few seconds and then it goes off. Tried pushing the play button while plugging it in and the same thing happens.

I have just seen the review for the Sonos Play 5 on what Hi-Fi, and their credibility is beginning to crumble. Firstly they tout high-res audio as a must have game changer, now they say that the audio quality of the Play 5 has been superseded by a £300 speaker called the Audio Pro C10. Looking at this objectively, there is more inputs on the C10 but c'mon What Hi-Fi... two tweeters and a woofer? How does that deliver the "impressive scale" of the sound... with two tweeters. Okay. And the design isn't close to what the Play 5 has. Now I haven't listened to this speaker, but if anyone has let me know what it sounds like. I just can't objectively see how it can deliver superior sound to a Play 5 with the drivers it has. Here's a quote from What Hi-Fi's 4 star review: "But, viewed as a wireless speaker in its own right, it’s impossible to deny that the Play:5 can now be beaten for sound quality, not just by the more affordable Audio Pro Addon C10, but also by the more expensive Bl

Hi and hello, Was just about to pull the trigger on Sonos Playbar or base, sub and 2x Ones but then I see the June 6th announcement and am concerned that I should have held fire before spending not inconsiderable amount of cash (c.£2k). That being said though, I'd like everything place before the World Cup.....any thoughts suggestions? Part 2 - I'd rather the Playbar than base but my TV stand has legs running through it on either end that the bar would have too sit behind, will this affect the sound? Thanks A

Hello, I'm new to Sonos speakers having just invested in 2x Play 5's, 2x Play 1's and a Sonos One. I was wondering if it would be possible to connect my old speakers to this system, or at least control them through the Sonos App using the Sonos Connect/Connect Amp. I'm not sure if anyone knows but the main problem with the Phililips Fidelio AW5000/9000 range was a completely flawed Airstudio app, which in practical terms rendered the speakers redundant, so it would be nice if I could get some use out of them as they are of good build quality and nice sound. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks, Oliver

How can I lock the speaker group in my Sonos app so I do not have keep grouping when I power the system on and open the app everytime?

What's best to replace the CR100 ?

I purchased a Playbar this weekend. I attached it to the wall and went through the setup process. In setting it up I was able to get Sonos to recognize and work with my Comcast TV remote and I was able to play and stream music from my iPhone through the Playbar (it sounds excellent BTW), but I have been unsuccessful in getting my 8 year old Samsung TV (UN55C7000) to connect with the Playbar. My TV has a digital optical output, but it requires a male connection and not the female connection that Sonos provides with the Playbar. I bought an adapter to connect to the TV, but no luck in connecting to the TV and producing sound. I also called Samsung tech support to ensure that there was no setting on the TV that could be the cause. Can anyone provide some suggestion on how to resolve this issue?

Hi all, I have purchased a sonos play:1and I'm missing the airplay feature. I have been searching and I found that sonos one will support airplay 2, but I couldn't find any information about airplay, does it currently support airplay or only will support airplay 2? I only have a sonos bridge and a sonos play:1 so I can't use airport express or apple TV.

We bought a Playbar and surround system setup about a year ago. It’s been working fine except every month or two it stops working for the cable tv. If I switch to Netflix, the sound is fine. I’ve tried resetting everything: tv, cable box, router, Playbar, and nothing works.

Sorry if this has already been discussed, just thought I would share my experience with the new Sky Q boxes and Sonos for anyone looking for Airplay/bluetooth support for their Sonos system, or are considering upgrading to Sky Q but haven't yet. As the new Sky Q boxes come equipped with AirPlay support (and Bluetooth), I have 3 Sky boxes attached to TV's around the house which are linked to two PlayBars and a Play:5. This adds seamless airplay/bluetooth support to your entire Sonos system from any sky box, I can use my original phone music player or even youtube audio and not have to use the Sonos controller. This also turns your TV screen into a nice music visual if using airplay. Other benefits are the full HD/4K aspect, meaning better use of your home theatre set up using DD sound. Previously only available by additional subscription on Sky+. For me these benefits alone for my sonos system are worth the upgrade to Sky Q, there are also many more improvements on the Sky bo

have two systems in two different homes but want to put one under another account is there an easy way to change details without having to re setup etc

I recently purchased a connect amp and have it powering 2 in ceiling episode speakers and an in wall sound bar. I just added an svs sub which is connected via the subwoofer output on the connect amp. It sounds amazing, but I cannot find an option to adjust the volume specifically to the sub or even an on/off button for the sub through the sonos controller app. Does this exist? And if not, it seems like this could be an easy update for the amp software. Thanks.

I have a question for which I have found half the answer, but not all of it so far... Situation is as follows: - My only speaker at home at the moment is a Playbar, it might get extended with another Play (1/3/5) at some point. I have no passive speakers to use. - I would like to use the playbar with a turntable, which I would operate as a stand-alone device, i.e. not connected to any further system / receiver. The turntable has a built-in pre-amp. - I gather I can hook up the turntable with the sonos system using a connect device. --> Question: does this setup require a connect:amp, or would a connect be enough? Again, no additional passive speakers to use, all I want to achieve is linking the turntable with the playbar. Thanks for any insights 🙂

Hi everyone, Fairly new to the community but not new to Sonos. Been using it for a while and loving what it lets me do. I've got two play 1s, a play 5 and a playbar and just want more! I'm massively into my music and have recently been missing the physical nature of having CDs/Vinyl that I can call my own. With this in mind I've been doing lots of research into turntables and have whittled my choices down to three. Pro-ject Debut Carbon, Rega RP1 (w. Performance Pack) and the Audio Technica LP120. I know the first two are supposed to have better sound quality but having read on here that I'd need a phono pre-amp between either of the first two and the Play 5 but wouldn't have that issue if i went with the third one as it already has one built in. Since reading that I've then come across a number of places where people seem to be saying they have wired their PDCs directly into the play 5 without a pre-amp and have then just turned the 'line-in' volume up to the max. They are all ver

I have a new Connect which I want to hook up to my analogue hifi set up but it is too far for a wire to my router. I set up the Connect and the Sonos app by hooking it directly to the router. But when I move it in situ using just WiFi, my Sonos app cannot find the Connect. Does the Connect have to be plugged into router. If not why

I just bought a new Samsung TV, Q8. Unfortunately I'm not able to turn volume down or up with the Samsung Remote. I added the Onkys home theater, since Sonos is not officially supported and after that I'm able to adjust the volume, but only as long as I use the setup box. If I use Netflix or Plex, than the remote stops adjusting the sound. If I switch back to the setup-box it works again. My question: How come Samsung does not support sonos? The Remote may only be bluetooth, but the TV has Infrared and can send the Signal to the Playbar. However it's not everything works how it should be. Does anyone have an idea, is there another way?

Hi, Although I love the fact that Play devices are wireless, the reality is that for someone like myself who wishes to mount them on a wall in various rooms, I still need to run power up to the speakers. Running power cables in the wall is even more trouble than running network cables. Worst, there is no way to do a clean job if you don't want to have ugly power outlets at the top of your walls and then you have an ugly power cable that is visible... Furthermore, if you want to avoid buying the Bridge, you need to run AT LEAST one network cable to the device anyway. Why bother having to run both power and Ethernet? So, I think my proposition is pretty simple (although it would need to happen on future versions of the hardware): Why not make the Ethernet port be PoE, which means that a PoE switch could supply power to the speaker. I do read that PoE have a maximum power of 35W (I also read 50W wat possible in a non-standard installation).. so maybe this will be an issue. But

How do I connect my Samsung TV (49" KS9000 Curved SUHD Quantum Dot Ultra HD Premium HDR 1000 TV) through the smart remote to enable sound adjustment? The SmartRemote does everything but change the sound through the optical connection

Sonos stinks. I am listing all my speakers and everything 'Sonos' on Craigslist. You cannot get through to customer service, minimum 1 hr hold. MINIMUM. System often won't play. System drops whilst playing. Last phone call the rep now says there's too many wifi networks in range! God thing I don't live in the heart of the city or a condominium with more networks. All the updates, it gets worse. Imagine spending a few grand and not being able to use it or having it cut out all the time. Such rubbish. Wish I had never spent the money. I wanted Bose yet they were not doing the streaming speakers at the time so I bought Sonos. I've seen it continue to go further and further downhill. What a mess!

Hello, maybe someone in 2018 has found the solution. Do you know if are there any “boxes” like an audio extractor that convert an HDMI INPUT DTS in a optical output DD 5.1? Even optical in and out will be ok. Unfortunately I only found extractor that separate video from audio from HDMI input to an optical output, but don’t do the DTS to DD transcoding. It means that if the HDMI source is DTS, the optical output will be DTS, and if the HDMI source is DD 5.1, optical output will be DD5.1. I’m searching for a converter that with DTS HDMI input, will output a Dolby Digital 5.1. Thanks

Hi all, just curious, my wife won't use the Sonos kit on the house. She says the Sonos controller app is too hard to understand. What aspect she finds to hard, I am unable to say as she won't even launch the app to show me what she finds hard. Frustrating situation to be in, but I thought I'd ask on the off chance, are there any 3rd party control apps I can get her to try? Especially if it were really simple and easy to understand. Thanks. Bloggs.

Such a shame my life line is going. I have 2 working CR 100’s. They have recently been the ONLY way to upgrade SONOS during upgrade issues. Now I’ve received an email saying I’ve to disconnect them and recycle them. The best way to manage music. Share sla selectioncevice with friends at BBQ’s etc. Almost unbreakable. Certainly ground breaking in its time. Such a shame that SONOS are now 100% dependent on somebody else’s devices and technology to be able operate ANYTHING they make. What a bizarre business model we drove nowadays.

Hello - I just got a Sonos Playbar and Sub a few months ago. At start, everything was great. I updated it a few weeks ago and ever since I lose connection only when playing music. This happens about 2-3 songs in. It'll stop and say it can't connect to music service. If I try a few minutes later I will have the same issue. Listening to anything other than music via the controller (Mac/iPhone) I do not have any issues. I've rebooted the system, changed my wireless channels, and reset the channel with no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Greg
