Spaces & Setups

Since I updated my Windows OS only my Windows 10 PC now has this issue of 'System not found'. I have reset all HW and removed and re-installed all SW and the problem still exists. I can access the system through my Android phone so the problem is with Sonos/Windows 10. Please help!

I currently have the Denon Heos system (Bar, 2x heos 1 Surrounds, and a heos 3 for the bedroom). I'm looking to get into the Sonos setup, but need a way to unload all my Heos items. Does anyone know of an alternative place to eBay to sell audio gear in the NYC metro?

It’s been a few days now and it still says processing. I know it’s around the holidays still, but seems like it’s taking a while. How long does this step typically take? The website says same business day

Hi guys, Has anyone got sonos playbase hooked up to epson tw6700w projector? Has it worked in your case? The wireless module has got optical and so I was wondering. Any advice much appreciated.

Do I need to buy a boost?

Hey will it ever be possible to control sonos with Apple Home kit ???

I know there are topics about the battery life of the devices running the Sonos app, but each have been dismissed. I am telling you that there is a battery life problem when the Sonos app is running. I have very specific daily usage requirements which average about 72% battery life left at the end of the day, unless I run the Sonos app. Then, at the end of the day, I have an average of 37% left. If Sonos wants to continue to blow this problem off, fine, but it is unacceptable to a long time user and overall fan. Not to mention a professional software developer. Get your head out of the sand boys and fix this usage problem. It is widespread and easy to duplicate.

I've had your typical "big iron" A/V setup for years. B&W 603 front and center speakers w/dipole surrounds, Hsu VTF-3 15" sub, Denon receiver, etc. We're moving and I'm getting rid of all of it and going full Sonos. New setup has a Playbar, Sub, and two Play 1's on stands. I also bought two One's, putting one of them in the MBR, the other one is "roving" for use in various locations. Looking forward to chucking the cables and bulk of my old system, hoping the performance is good enough for me not to miss my old stuff.

Can the playbar understand multiple remote controls? I have a media server remote control as well as a TV remote control. Lets say I have the media server remote in my hand, normally, this wouldn't be able to turn up the TV volume (as it controls just the volume output from the media server). Can the playbar understand both to save me reaching for the TV remote everytime?

Im having problems loading the sonos controller software, after downloading file it says does not work with the 32bit system, it there a specific file to download for 32 bit or do i need a 64bit pc ? Thanks

If you are, like me, not an audiophile and rely on Sonos ads for information, you may be sorely disappointed. Ads for Sonos One and Play1 both advertise connectivity to your "other smart devices." Based on this claim, I fully expected the Sonos One and/or the to connect to my smart TV. It is a smart device in my home. Nowhere did it say this claim excluded TV sound. Finally, Sonos support told me that route sound from my TV that I would need an additional Sonos device that retails for about $700. This is classically bait-and-switch.Good luck with these folks.

Would be great if I could stream stereo (I have 2 Play1s setup as a stereo pair) audio from my smart TV to my Sonos. Then I could all but retire my 300 watt amp and 4' high speakers connected to my TV/Blue Ray player. I can cast from my PC - I should be able to do the same from my smart TV. Choose the IP addresses as I do from my PC and broadcast great stereo from the TV of Blue Ray player.

i can not install desktop controller on my laptop

Surprised I can not find this idea in here. My house is not exactly small, and I am now running 7 Sonos players. When running the Sonos app on iPhone, it would be great to be able to select a sone (or a sone group), press a button and talk via my phone to that sone. I can not imagine it being a technically complex solution. I would be really excited about being able to use Sonos in this way, and so would quite a few others! (see discussion forum): http://forums.sonos.com/showthread.php?t=8672 Is this something that can be considered? If this could be a part of Sonos long term solutions, I would wait for it. Else I would need to start think alternative solutions.

I have a playbar mounted to the wall, the optical cable has to make a 180 deg turn to connect the the tv. What is the minimum bend radius or the optical cable for the playbar.

Anyone else keep doing this. You see at the bottom of the app in bold red your room name. So you intuitively think that to change rooms you need to tap it. You then realise that this isn’t for room selecting, this is for sending the current room’s music to other rooms. So you realise you have to go back a step to select the blacked out rooms logo at the bottom of the app to change rooms. Time after time I keep doing this. Please bring room selection back as a constant one tap function no matter where you are in the app please.

I have a 7 zone Sonos system which I currently control with the Sonos App. I want to use a recently acquired Google home device to control the Sonos system. My speakers (8 Pairs) are hard wired to the connect amps. How can I control access to my music both personnel and streaming and group and un-group my speakers like I do with the Sonos app using my new google device?

Is there anyway SONOS could look at introducing EQ settings into the app/software? Since purchasing the Sub Iv'e found that TV/Movies need a slightly higher EQ setting than say music. This results in me having to go into the Advanced Audio settings and adjust the Sub output between sources (which is not straight forward). What would be really good is a way of selecting these EQ settings on the fly, so I can choose custom (or pre set) changing the levels when I change sources. Not a big ask but surprised pre-sets are not included as standard. This ability for a customer would be an extra but surely appreciated by the community!! Apologies if this has been raised before but a quick search brought nothing back...

Sonos & Beatport

For any potential buyers out there, the Nintendo Switch only supports 5.1 LPCM, which can't be decoded by the Playbar and Playbase. It is likely getting downmixed to stereo and then getting sent to the Sonos. Also, the Switch will likely not add any Dolby support, as the Wii U before it could also only output 5.1 in LPCM. Sound will still play out of the rear speakers and the SUB, since Sonos matrices those to create "fake 5.1". The one potential upside is that the Nintendo Switch menu has an option to select "Surround Sound" as output. There is a very slight possibility that it might try to downmix the 5.1 source into 2.1 on the fly, mixing the surround information into the FL and FR channels but that's highly unlikely. That comes with the potential theoretical downside that if you select Surround Sound as output, you're losing some of the surround channel data since in a 5.1 encoded audio, a lot of the signal is encoded into the front center speaker with a lower level going to th

Hello Everyone. I am thinking of buying a Playbar for my Flat Screen, however the TV is mounted in a recess between two wall units. Recess is 16" deep and distance between the wall units is 48". Will the sound be significantly diminished if I wall mount the soundbar? Option 2 will be to build a bracket between the shelves to mount the soundbar closer to the face of shelving unit, so that the soundbar extends beyond the edge of the units. Not the preferable option as this will visuallystick out a bit more. FYI, the soundbar will have to go above the TV in either case, but I don't think this is an issue. Any opinions or advice?

Sigh. I wanna love Sonos. But lip sync is not working. Sonos imposes enough audio delay to annoy for TV use. Are there any work arounds? My understanding is that Sonos is imposing some latency due to wifi use. I read in one place 30ms, which isn't bad, but I read another place 70ms. The thing is my TV is already adding some delay compensation to the audio to match audio to video processing delay, such that what you see from the TV and hear from the audio is pretty much in sync... Its assuming that any soundbar I might be using won't be adding any more delay. There is no way for me to turn that off on my TV that I have been able to find: Sony XBR-65X850B. If anyone knows a secret way to disable it on the TV, I'd love to try it. Are there any other work around? If I put the sub and soundbar onto wired ethernet, will the latency on sonos be reduced? I have heard I might need to get an HDMI switch that splits out the audio to optical before hitting the TV, and feed th

I'm thinking of buying a z-wave hub and wondered on the compatibility of Sonos Play 1 and Play 5. It would be nice to get ridge of my Sonos bridge as I don’t want lots of different hubs in my house. Any idea whether this would work?

Option of changing the background color (in the full album view) to black would look cool

A longer version of this is stuck in the spam filter. I was looking on Amazon and they are offering Squaretrade service plans (extended warranties) for a very good price and I wondered why Sonos can't offer the same plans when you buy a device directly from Sonos instead of having to go through Amazon? Play 5 -- 4-Year Home AV Protection Plan ($450-500) -- $17.70
