Spaces & Setups

I have a Play:5 that I take back and forth from my primary residence to my vacation home. I have searched for, but have been unsuccessful in locating a padded carrying case to protect for transport. End up wrapping in a beach towel, and then in a backpack. Are you aware of any plans to produce a carrying case? Or any existing 3rd party case that might work well for the Play:5? Thanks. I'm loving my Sonos system.

I have a sonos playbar, connected optically to a sony TV with optical output with TV speakers turned off, the bar is connected to the bridge as I also have a play5. I got the bar prior to Xmas and have had the following occasional issue which in the last two days has progressed into a regular issue The volume goes out of sync with the displayed volume level To remedy this I turned the volume to zero, sound would still be played at low level from the bar so would then press lower volume (TV still showed zero) till sound stopped coming from the bar. This would normally correct the issue, now more often than not it doesn't. The sound now plays at a low level (some times no volume) even when turned up to max. Have tried powering down all components, checking all connections and settings on T.V

Hi. I have a Play 1 in a small room of about 5m2 and I'm thinking of adding another Play 1 to listen to stereo music. Will it sound good or will the room be so small for 2 speakers? Thank you

I recently bought the Sonos Playbar, Sub, and Sony XBR65900E 4k TV, a Sony UBPX800 Blue-ray Player and an Apple 4k TV. What is the best way to connect these devices to obtain optimal sound and video?

I know it's only cosmetic but I would prefer a connect in black. Does anyone agree?

So I have my entire home Sonos, 8 zones, including ceiling speakers in bathrooms, garage, Play:1, 3, 5's Sound Bar, Sub etc. Except for my backyard! I wanted to mount 2 Play:3's and 1 Play:5 but then thought better of it with the rain, dust etc. I was thinking I could put covers over them when not in use, but don't really see any good covers like cover mate makes for outdoor furniture. So I guess I am stuck with another Connect:Amp. My yard isn't large being in Vegas, its 80' by 30' but then also has a 20x25' covered patio. So Pool just was finished, and really need to decide what I am putting out there now, because if I have to wire speakers, I want to do it with PVC burried 6" under ground before I landscape. Question is, I use a Sub inside when I have a Connect:Amp to Ceiling speakers, so what speakers is recommended or is someone using outside right now? Do you also have a Sub hooked up? How is the sound of the system, is there enough bass? My yard isn't large so I only nee

Hi Has anybody tried out the combination LG 75sj955v and Playbar. Does the optical output of the TV has all capabilities for running the Playbar with all sound features? is there a list of compatible TV's? cheers Manuel

I love that I can make a playlist from different streaming apps but it would be so awesome be able to easily add to queue with a L>R swipe or delete using R>L swipe. Like how Spotify has it. So convenient.

I have a samsung tv with optical out, HDMI in, exlink. I currently have my roku connected to my TV through HDMI, but I don't think its outputting 5.1 How Can I remedy this situation. Thanks for all the help!

Sonos has the option for an audio interrupt but there is no option for a resume playback. I would love to see this feature be implemented so that when I am listening to music outside or if I am inside and the music is loud, the volume will either cutt off and play the chime, then resume, or it would significantly lower the volume and play the doorbell notification similar to using maps on an iPhone when playing music.

I own an Insignia receiver ns-str514. I am looking to purchase a Sonos system. Not sure if I could use it on the receiver or do I just need a Sonos. I have it connected to the speakers in the yard for the summer and in the winter I connect it to the speakers in the house. I am trying to avoid that. Want to keep it connected all the time to all speakers. What is my best way to go about this.?

Hi everyone, I work for a company that provides IPTV software to service providers. We recently discovered that some of our set top boxes that have DLNA capabilities start crashing when SONOS devices are seen in the user's homes. I am pretty sure the set top boxes are able to discover the SONOS player with UPNP. We are planning to purchase some of the SONOS players for testing, but I need to know, if all SONOS players are the same in terms of UPNP capabilities and if they are DLNA certified, etc. Also does this maybe depend not only on teh model of SONOS but the software version of it. Please let me know! Thanks, Ina

Hi Everyone, I just wanted to share my quick hack to get some placement of my Sonos 1 for my surround sounds. Due to the lack of reasonably priced and safe stands (have kids) I didnt care for the options out there. I decided, until then, I could make my own and place them behind my couch. Essentially it's a 1x4 cut at an angle and a 6 inch piece to act as the speaker stand. The wood sits behind the couch cushion, I have sticky tape on the bottom of the Sonos 1 and route the cord through the couch. It's not the prettiest, I could paint it but this was my first go. Also, if I redid it, I would have it sit slightly above the cushion, which would be accomplished by just making the angled piece longer, though it would be less stable since the couch back would no longer support it. Thoughts?

Is there a device which will input tv audio and stream it somehow to my two Sonos1?

Right now its only capable of showing the white light. A few hours ago it was connected to my router (ethernet) and from cable box (digital audio cable) and working. After what appears to be a controller "update" its unresponsive: 1. will not play audio from the digital audio in 2. refuses to even show up as a connected device on the router after repeated power offs of the router, the playbar, the entire network, etc so I cannot connect to it or configure it 3. won't even factory reset - after power down, I have play/pause held down, power on and its white unblinking light forever. No amber, to light flashes for amber. I held it down for a solid 3-4 min. I guess I'll write in to support but I think at this stage maybe there's no point with this temperamental piece of garbage? Are there any other avenues I can try? Shutoff all power to my house and then hold the button??

I would like to be able to reorder the Sonos favourites. I'm seems like a basic function and frustrates me. I just want to reorder my favorites on my iPhone.

I know this is more of a SmartThings question, which I have posted in their forum, but wanted a bigger audience, so posting here also. Using Speaker Companion SmartApp in SmartThings to say: When contact opens/closes then play notification sound, also have the "Resume currently playing music after notification" enabled. Two scenarios going on here.... 1) Music is playing, someone opens the front door. As expected, music pauses, notification sound plays, then music resumes. Perfect! 2) Music NOT playing, someone opens the front door. As expected, notification plays.... but then the music queues up from whatever was previously being played. Wondering if anyone has done something like this and is experiencing the same behavior?

Can we please have the option to choose what tapping a song in the list does. It used to be that when I tap the song I would get an option menu to added to the end of the Q, play now and now it just instantly play goes to the end of my queue and start playing that song or worse entire albums. This is crazy. I understand it's because dumb people don't understand how a queue works but it destroys the controller for people that have an idea of what's going on. Please let us choose what happens, i liked the menu but it would be even better if we could choose a default action for tapping song then the three dots gives you the little menu.

I have a play:5 in the bedroom and is connected to a tv via the line input. I also play large playlists in this room. If I pause in the middle of the playlist and select the line in for watching tv, I cannot resume the playlist where it left off after I’m done watching tv. It seems like the queue is still intact with the playlist but it doesn’t have a way to resume playback from where it was paused. Since the playlist is large, it’s a pain to have to scroll down and find what I remember played last. Can we get a resume function somehow?

After much testing trying to get my new Play:5 to connect to my network music library share on my Windows Server 2012 R2 server, it appears that Sonos does not support NTLMv2. It would appear from another post on this forum at https://ask.sonos.com/sonos/topics/sonos_with_osx_mavericks_server that OS X Mavericks now requires NTLMv2 by default for SMB share connections. Requiring users to lower the security of their system to enable NTLMv1 connections is not really a viable solution as NTLMv1 is a very old protocol and has many security vulnerabilities and is exactly the reason why Apple have decided to move to blocking NTLMv1 connections, something Microsoft will no doubt do at some point in the future (by default as it's already possible to configure a policy to block these connections). Sonos need to add support for NTLMv2 and cease using NTLMv1 connections. Additionally, Sonos should support the NTLMv2 Session Security and 128-bit Encryption optional suite components in NTLM

My sonos play 3 says its unable to connect to the wi-fi while going through the set up process, help would be appreciated! 

Playbase without a TV

It is clear that Sonos does not want to be another Bluetooth speaker otherwise they would have done so by now. But is sticking to the WiFi only model going to allow Sonos to survive? Sonos is so much focusing on a niche market of users who need to play music in multiple room (who does that?) and are total Audiophiles who can tell the difference between Bluetooth and WiFi streamed music (remember that cell phone cameras destroyed the amateur High end camera market). People want convenience over complexity. Water flows in the path or least resistance. If you read the WiFi vs Bluetooth argument for Sonos, you see it is all just one argument, "Do you want to play different music in multiple rooms?" This is not enough for Sonos to keep going. Why not allow users to choose? Add Bluetooth and keep the WiFi option. I am sure it is not an issue with cost as adding BT to a speaker costs pennies. The reason I write this is that Sonos makes great sounding speakers and it is a shame that I have t

Does anyone know of any solutions to mount the new sonos ones to a stand other than the ones sonos makes. I have a pair of speaker stands I wanted to use with the new sonos ones and without any mounting holes I am forced to find another solution. Was hoping maybe there would be some cool custom wood base or 3d printed base the speaker could sit in that could be mounted to other stands....i don't know...just hoping SOMETHING is out there as I hate the look and design of the ones made for the sonos one.
