Spaces & Setups

I have 2 Play5 a playbar and a ZP90. I used to control all from either my iPhone or my Mac. After being nagged for the last few months to upgrade the controller, (by the way I also have a CR200 which has not completed an upgrade and has locked itself out for 2 years, not that I was that concerned as the iPhone and Mac worked fine) I finally succumbed and upgraded to S1. Now only the playbar can be seen within the app. As that is in the lounge attached to the telly, and the ZP90 is in my study near to my Mac, I am extremely annoyed. I guess I should have known that this was going to happen, but there you go.Can I have an older version of the controller software to install on the Mac and get my ZP90 back, as well as the Play5? 

I recently was forced again to update the Sonos controller app.  Now I cannot access the system.  No matter what I do I either get only a few of the speakers or none at all.  I am absolutely besides myself.  This use to be such a great product but as they matured it has really been a nightmare that seldom works consistently.  I DON’T WANT YOUR UPDATES...THEY SUCK!!!  I just want it to work.  I have invested thousands of dollars in these products over the years and I feel like I just want to give up and start all over.  It is just so frustrating.  I am really hating on SONOS right now. 

I have an old Onkyo receiver that is fine for radio and manages 4 wired speakers.  I want to add streaming abilities and likely a new CD player and some other wireless speakers.  The Onkyo has analog input/outputs for different devices.  I am looking at the AMP Port to start.  How would it be connected to the Onkyo?  I recently tried to add bluetooth to this receiver and couldn’t get any ports to work.

I just got my Arc and using it with my TCL 6 series and Shield Pro over eARC. I love the Dolby TrueHD with Atmos but I notice that after a while I lose the TrueHD on compatible media and get the DD+ Atmos instead. I can fix this by unplugging the Arc’s AC cord or HDMI. Any ideas? I am using the Arc included HDMI cable for itself and 2.1 cables for my Shield and Apple TV 4K.

why i cant use google assistant in israel? on beam? why its matter what country?

I’ve been using Sonos since they launched about 13 years ago, but have always bought the black components. I’m planning to buy the Arc surround sound kit with the subwoofer and two S1s. However I’m looking to buy them in white. It will be placed in a south facing very (Very!) sunny room, do I need to worry about the white plastic turning yellow over time?

I have 2 play 5s out on my patio by the pool.   I want to connect a third party sub to those for more base outside.  Can I use a connect amp S2 to connect the sub through the sub port only and not use the speaker connections as the play 5 will be in use instead?

I have grouped Beam and two One SL speakers in one room for surround from TV and music stream. I get sound from Beam, but nothing from the two One SL speakers. When I tried to tune, message said one speaker not working,.  

From what I’ve been reading to achieve 5.1 surround sound all I need is a Sonos ARC, 2 in ceiling speakers with a Sonos AMP, and a sub...Is that correct? Sonos ARC right under the TV, sub close by, & the in ceiling speakers should be placed a few feet back from the main sitting area in the living room is that correct?  

I have 1 “Playbar” and 2 “Play:1” speakers. The instructions for using the Trueplay function for SONOS  S2 App Version 12.1.1 latest update as of 10-16-2020 is as follows. From the Settings tab, tap System and then select the speaker you wish to tune. Tap Trueplay > Trueplay Tuning and follow the in-app instructions to tune your speaker.When I tap System and select the speaker I don’t see any option for TruePlay.  All I have for options is “EQ”; “Surround Audio” and “Volume Limit”.  I’ve been all over this App and nowhere is there a “Trueplay

I have been running the S2 Controller on my PC without any problem until yesterday when I attempted to install an latest update  I was unable to complete the installation.  Has anyone else had a problem, if so, how has it been solved?  Thanks.

I found this thread and the people replying are completely missing the point.  https://en.community.sonos.com/home-theater-228993/night-sounds-for-living-room-music-6799459 I don’t want to change the volume on my speaker for every song. I want Sonos to boost quiet songs and limit loud songs.

Hi all! I’m thinking about going with a Sonos based design for a home theater setup in one of my rooms.  I’d love some advice/thoughts on what I’m thinking.  I’m going to get an 85” 4K tv prob a Samsung.  I was thinking of going with a Sonos Arc soundbar, a Sonos Sub, then a Sonos amp to power 2 in ceiling speakers to provide the rear left and right.   Any thoughts on how this would work, or alternative recommendations? thanks!  

I have an older Connect Amp for my Patio speakers and a Connect for my living room speakers. I would like to upgrade but not sure what to get, can someone help? Thanks in advance  

I am looking to purchase another One SL. I know it can’t just play directly to a TV, but am I correct in saying that if I chose TV everywhere from another room and grouped them together that it would play the Tv through it?

Don’t want to run SMB 1 on my NAS.  Have 3 older Play 5’s so am on S1 and my workstations are all Macs so no Sonos-native HTTP sharing.Thinking of running NAS at SMB 2.1 (I think that is required for Time Machine; will test with 3.0 only and see) which if course breaks access to Sonos for my music files on the NAS.Has anybody run a Docker container of Samba on the NAS (with its own IP address) and mounting your audio files and allowing that container to share out your audio files via a separate IP as SMB 1.0?

HiHow do I set an “alarm” that turns off the music in a room at a specified time ? This was possible earlier by setting an alarm that had the function “turn off”, this is no longer available, so how do I set my system to automatically turn off music at eg 23:45 ?

I have a new Samsung 65 in OLED tv. I have linked it to my existing surround sound system with 5 speakers a sub woofer and a 7 year old pioneer amp. I’m using ARC to route the sound through the amp to my system. I am having problems in the following areas :--powering the system on without having to use 3 separate controls-the pioneer software is dated and doesnt allow the full quality of picture.-the sound isnt everything I’d hoped forIf I replaced the amp with a new Sonos amp would it solve my issues?
