Spaces & Setups

The title says it all. The new app does not have that function anymore. Please bring it back or black-out the background in the now playing mode. Thanks!

Hi. I have 2 era 300’s set up as a stereo pair. One is connected line in to a Sony turntable so I can listen to vinyls. I want to be able to switch now and again to make them part of surround sound set up in same room. I want them as rear surrounds to a beam and Sub when watching movies. I understand there is no quick way to do this. (Which is frustrating) so I have to unpair the dress then set up as surround sounds via beam setting. My issue is, I cannot unpair the 2 erra 300’s. Just keeps saying unable to unpair check network. I’ve tried unplugging all devices, factory resetting the erras. Still can’t unpair them. Spent an hour on the phone to Sonos and still facing the issue. They’ve told me to unplug everything inc router, sky boxes etc. I can't do that everytime I want to switch from surrounds to stereo pair. Any advice is welcome. 

Hi Folks, there’s an unofficial Android TV app being developed, the developer (not me!) is asking for people to trial it before it’s released.The developer has been really responsive and communicative re. anything I’ve suggested so far, and the app is looking really promising. It may well be the exact thing that I’ve been looking for to replicate the “now playing” screen used by John Darko in his YouTube videos when reviewing audio equipment- but the Sonos.There’s a reddit community here with details of how you can join: https://www.reddit.com/r/TVONOS/And github here: https://github.com/robwebset/TVONOS-Public

HiI've noticed on the new awful app that when I ask alexa to play anything on bbc sounds on my sonos products that it does play but on the app there is no information of what is playing or any logos. If I play bbc sounds from the app it works fine. I've disconnected my bbc sounds account on sonos and reactivated and disabled the sonos and bbc sounds skill on the alexa app. Any ideas?

This may (hopefully) be a very easy question, but how do you set up a synchronized multispeaker (2-4) wireless system?  We have a large, echoing training building that is 75x50x20’ and want to be able to play a single source synchronized across all speakers at the same time using bluetooth or wifi.

Hallo,ich habe eine Playbase +Sub. Meine Frage bezieht sich auf die Soundeinstellung. Höhen, Tiefen, alles eingestellt, gehen diese Einstellungen nach ein paar Tagen verloren. Gerät vom Strom nehmen und wieder anschließen, lassen sich diese Einstellungen wieder herstellen. Was ich getan habe, Apps neu installiert…..Problem besteht weiter hin…hat jemand eine Idee….Danke….

Hi. Getting an extension built and currently trying to plan all wiring etc so we don't need to retro fit anything. I want to set up a Sonos surround system in the living room section of the new living/dining/kitchen space. I have had a play3 for many years and plan to put this in the kitchen where it will only be used for music. For the living room I was thinking to get a beam, mini sub and 2x era 100 to put on the wall behind the sofa. The total room size is 9000mm x 7700mm. The living room section is 4800mm TV to wall where era100s would go, 4300mm wide. Sofa will sit around 1500 in front of the eras, 2500 back from the TV&beam. Will this work? Is there a better option? I was considering amp and ceiling speakers instead of eras but much more expensive and means I have an amp to find a home for. Anh and all opinions appreciated!

There’s a five year old thread (now closed) asking for this to be addressed and many comments agreeing and proposing potential fixes.I’d like to revive the converstion because it’s so much part of a good playback experience to be able to change what’s coming without stopping play in order to do so. Surely this is a necessary functionality for any music app!!

With the new app is there a way to create multiple households?  Does the concept of multiple households still exist in new controller app?

Buenas, Estoy pensando en adquirir una barra Sonos arc, sin embargo mi salón tiene una particularidad, y es que el techo además de ser más alto de lo habitual, está abuhardillado, por lo que no sé si esto podría afectar a la experiencia atmos. La inclinación es ascendente de izquierda a derecha del mueble de la televisión. Gracias. 

Hi, I have my Project turntable connected to my pair of Sonos 5s. I have always known that there’s a delay but recently has been bothering me lately and now long for real time listening l, probably makes my analog vinyl ineffective. I’ve read somewhere but have forgotten where or how to resolve this. Is there anyone on this community that can help me to eradicate the delay as it would be greatly appreciated.Kind Regards,Will 

Hello, I would like to know if a Sonos Ray would be compatible with an XGimi Mogo Pro 2 projector. The Sonos Ray has an optical input and the XGimi has an arc output and a jack output. How do I make the Ray work with the XGimi?

Does anybody know how exactly the Sonos Music Library update process works ?I get intermittent update failures when initiating the update from my PC Sonos Controller app, but the proverbial “//nas/music_share folder is no longer available” message will always appear within the first few seconds of the update. If it gets beyond this then the update proceeds for sometimes hours, but will work.I just wonder what exactly is happening in those first few seconds that causes the error and then when you get past this point what is then happening.My understanding from Sonos is that once the update is underway all communication is between the Sonos speakers and the NAS drive (in my case) and the index is then replicated around each of the speakers or Amps. Apart from initiating the update, the Controller (PC) plays no part.It seems there’s some initiation process right at the start that frequently fails, throws the error message to the Controller and doesn’t move on to the main update.Out of int

HiI need help.. I want to connect my beolab 8000 to a device so I can stream music by bluetooth/phone.  Is the Sonos Port the right way to go or do they have other, better alternatives for this? The speaker has rca connections. thanx for help

Hi I’m currently building my home and we’re getting to the first fix electrics stage and I’m stuck on the design for my home cinema.  My open plan living room is around 11 metres x 5 metres. The lounge area will be around 4.5 metres x 5 metres of that. My viewing sofa will back onto a wall and the projector screen will hang between the lounge “zone” and “dining” zone without any substantial furniture below (i.e not something I can put a Arc - not that I could then wire back to the projector without a very long hidden cable run). I really want Dolby Atmos set up with clear dialogue and great effects. I have yet to buy the new projector. I will be using an Apple TV for connection. My current idea is 2 x Era 300 for rears and a Sub but I am stuck for the front.  I can mount speakers in or on the ceiling. In my last home I put a centre speaker in front of the projector screen on the ceiling. The more discreet however the better. Can anyone  help solve my problem???

Has Sonos/Last.FM scrobbling been dropped? It’s not working for me (at least from my iOS app). This article seems to support the observation. For those of us using Sonos to stream otherwise unScorobble-able services like Apple Music, it's such a loss. I know Sonos has bigger problems, but if anything can be brought to bear from this end to get us scrobbling again, we'd be so grateful.

I have 6 and unless you want to play un plug one plug in other down load sonos 1 download sonos 2. redownload app, delete app plug in holding button until light blinks white and red. Hold button down until green light blinks complete trash 

Hi everyone newbie here, I’m looking into purchasing some Sonos speakers and sound bar. Now in regards to sound bars which is better the old play bar or the beam or arc? Also what rear speakers would you pair with it the play 3’s or play 5’s gen 2 for a surround sound setup and sub? Now the last question what speakers would you have in the rest of the house I.e kitchen etc for just music? Thanks in advance 

I’m sorry, Patrick should be fired. I watched his new video and his comments are weak and frankly a bit to late. When they announced and forced us to use the new app, he was silent and then when he did speak up, he defended the app and pretty much told us to shut up and deal with it, that it was for the best. He does not care about the loyal customers. I have SONOS products all over our house and we take the portables everywhere. We have multiple outdoor speakers. We have multiple of each Move 2’s, Roam’s, Arc’s, Era 300’s, Era 100’s, One’s, Sub Mini’s (Just ready to upgrade to Sub gen 3’s then the new app was released so I held off...THANK GOD). The new app update was a disaster and once the thousands of complaints and obvious mistake on releasing the app, instead of bringing back the old app until the new one was fixed or re-created, they told us to chill out and deal with it. Then they told us they would be fixing everything..WRONG...Every update KIND OF fixed some things, but then

**Alternative app that works perfectly with my Sonos system**The Sonophone app works perfectly and now I can finally use my Sonos system again.The new Sonos app is unreliable and unresponsive.  For Sonos to release this update with so many flaws was negligent and incompetent.  It made my (extensive and very expensive) Sonos system unusable. 

Hi everybody, My question is simple : What is the best way to read/bypass the DTS’s codecs ? Setup : LG OLED C1 + Sonos Arc + Sub Gen 3 Thank you for replies
