Spaces & Setups

All of my components are in white in my living room, aswell as all of my sonos play:3 and play:5.... Are there any plans on bringing the Playbar in white?

What generation of sonos play 3 is the latest? When will the next one be out?

What have you done to the interface This is a retrograde step, plus why do the icons have to be so large. Extremely disappointing and irritating. Please sort out something better !

I would like to use the Philips Hue Motion Sensor to play music while I'm in the kitchen and stop the music, when I leave the kitchen. Is this possible? I have Philips Hue all around my appartement today and in the kitchen, the light is controlled by the motion sensor. I basically want the music to turn on, with the lights and off again, when the lights turn off. If possible, I would also like speaker to stream a radio station on the morning hours and an Apple Music playlist in the evening. And if I'm playing something on other Sonos speakers, I would like the kitchen speaker to play the same, when turned on. I don't own any Sonos products today. I'm asking before buying. I'm looking for a sound system for my appartement.

I have a Moto 360 with Android Wear and every time I use the Sonos App in my phone the notification in the phone keeps persistent. Even if I quit the app in the, the notification remains. I can't kill the notification swapping to right. I can only hide it for a few minutes swapping down. I'ts really annoying.

Hi has the play 5 2gen got microphones built in for voice commands (which havent been switched on yet) cheers all

I have a macbook (Sierra) and a touchbar. Could you change the Sonos application to support this touchbar?

Im trying to purchase about $1k worth on sonos, but I need to use 2 cards. I dont see a way to do this, can someone let me know how i can get this done?

It stopped working all of a sudden and they want $200 for replacement. I barely used it for less than 2 years and the playbar stopped working. I've recommended this to many of my friends, but wont be doing that any more. I paid $2200 for the whole 5.1 and an additional Play 1 and they don;t even last 2 years. When i spoke with the customer service manager, he said its very rare that they hear about their product going bad. It seems like he never read the posts on here. They all just lied out right. They do like this and they wouldn't last long. I asked what if my SUB goes bad in the next 6 months and then i should pay another $200, and he says 'Yes' that's how it works. Sorry, but this is not how you stand by your customer. I understand that things go bad after few years, but certainly not in less than 2 years when I spend $2200. Its disappointing to own the SONOS.

Of course it is almost impossible to figure out how to write a review on this site. Just want to say that although I really liked my Play 5, it has quit working after 11 months and the whole return policy is a pain in the ass. I have a stereo that is 30 years old and was cheap when I bought it. It still works like new. $650.00 Play 5 is DOA.

Just read the announcement of the new Google Cast for Audio (http://chrome.blogspot.com/2015/01/introducing-google-cast-for-audio.html). I don't see Sonos listed as an early supporter, though. Any chance something is in the works?

An often requested feature, on the community forums and the beta forums, has been progressive (gradual) volume configuration for alarms. There are tens of threads that have been posted in the past, each with more than a few users voting or commenting; it seems likely that if the interest were aggregated there would be a clear majority of community users that want this feature to be configurable. This thread alone is five years old: https://en.community.sonos.com/controllers-software-228995/please-add-an-option-to-adjust-the-fade-in-and-fade-out-time-for-alarms-and-sleep-4441758/index1.html#post15977567 and there are others. The definition of this feature is to take a start volume, an end volume, and a ramp time and progressively increase the volume over the ramp time from start to end volume. In releases prior to 8.1, the ramp time was locked at a small number of seconds. In Sonos's competitor's products, ramp time is very flexible - in fact this was a feature in the Squeezebox

I have various alarms setup in the house for different speakers and although I know you can set the duration to no limit, once the playlist reaches the end, the music just stops. Is there anyway to configure the alarms so that the playlist runs on repeat? I have had to set up eight different alarms for the one speaker, so that music constantly plays, otherwise the music would stop once the playlist ends.

Hi, Team Sonos. I remain one of your biggest fans. The SONOS system is one of the best investments I ever made. Thanks! Here's a suggestion for future development: in the player, when choosing "Play All" for a selected musician, SONOS organizes all songs alphabetically. Another nice alternative option would be to allow sorting by album / track order.

These are two quite common problems I have with my Sonos system. 1. I've noticed that quite often when a new unit joins the network (someone coming home with their iPhone, waking a sleeping computer e.t.c.) Sonos will mute and often skip to the next song. I'm quite sure this has to do with DHCP-intervals. So for some reason when a unit gets it's IP refreshed Sonos will lose connection for a while. This could be an issue with my router but since it's a year old Airprort Extreme I would expect it to hande these things quite well. Is there some other Wifi router that is considered more superior in the Sonos context? 2. Another issue I get quite often, especially with the Mac OSX Sonos controller is that it fails to refresh completely. So if I open my laptop and switch to the already running Sonos Controller it's either completely blank or it fails to update to the songs currently playing. Since there's no refresh button a complete restart of the contoller is the solution which feel

New to Sonos, have the app on iphone 5c. i have created a Sonos playlist and the onscreen instructions tell me to pres the 3 dots when browesing or listening to a song and then select add to playlist. when i press the 3 dots this isn't an option i am given. while a song is playing i am only given the option of crossfade and sleep timer when i am scrolling through songs i am given the options of play now, play next, add to que and replace queue. no option to add to a playlist am i doing something wrong?

I have a Vizio P65-C1 model TV and a Comcast (Xfinity) cable box (Model #Pace PX013ANM) setup with a Playbar, a sub, and 2 play 1's is where I am having sound distortion issues, mainly a deep distorted bass sound occurring while watching content from the Comcast cable box. It happens on a daily basis and can occur while watching live TV, content from the DVR, the Xfinity Youtube app, or the Xfinity Netflix app. It seems to be a problem with the Vizio TV in connection with Xfinity I would assume, because if I disconnect the optical toslink cable from the default location (back of the TV) and connect it directly to the cable box, the distortion issue is resolved. ALSO, if I leave the optical cable connected to the Vizio TV, but change to the input to the Apple TV and watch content, or play with the PS4 it NEVER gets distorted. So something about my TV in connection with my cable box is causing this problem, and it is quite bothersome. I can't leave the audio cable connected only to

I have installed the Sonos Controller app on my Windows 7 computer, but when I attempt to add my Music folder I get the following error: Sonos was unable to add the music folder Reason: Unable to add the shared folder "\\Computer\Music" to your music library (1002). I have tried connecting to other shares without success.

This new app is a real turn off, not intuitive at all, the colour white against white is awful. Doesn’t flow at all. Sonos, you need to fix this fast

I am now the unhappy owner of two Sonos Play 1s falling for the scam of a "partnership" with Amazon allowing users to send music from the Echo to a Sonos Play 1. Turns out the Sonos is WiFi and the Echo Dot is bluetooth!!!! I will be publishing more on my YouTube channel. I will also mention the junk software that other users complain about skipping to next song before the current song has completed playing. Please feel free to see my review of the Play 1 versus the UE Boom 2 on YouTube. Moderation Edit by Ryan S: Removed self-promoted youtube video link which is against community rules.

I have been using Sonos since it came out and really never had a problem. Today my app updated and phone is not able to see either my Mac music library or the music on the phone itself. What happened? Gabriele

I'm playing Pandora Shuffle through SONOS system.  Occasionally I'm hearing tracks that I really don't like and the Thumbs Up/Down functionality is missing.  What's going on with that?

I saw posts up to six years ago asking for more options on the duration of the Sonos alarm function. Seems like a simple request yet nothing has been done. Lets face it, we mostly use the alarm function as a scheduler because it's our only choice. I use it daily so I don't miss my favorite Internet radio shows. Problem is I need it to stay on for 3-4 hours, the length of the show, and my choices are either 2 hours or "indefinitely". I've seen others who need shorter alarms too, say 30 second to 5 minutes. I say why not just let the users decide exactly how long to set it for? Can we PLEASE get this on the next software update? Even just adding a 3 hour and a 4 hour option would solve my issue. Ultimately though, Sonos needs a separate scheduling function so the alarm can be an alarm and the rest of us can set Sonos up to work with better our lifestyles. Thanks, I hope someone at Sonos reads this.

This isn't one of those table thumping demands asking Sonos to stand to attention and fix what I don't like. I know these forums don't work like that. However it's been nearly 2 weeks since Sonos's rather bullish launch of the V8 app, and I'm sure they weren't expecting the tidal wave of dissent that has followed. Now, before I go any further, I know there are people out there who jsut love the new app, and there are those who love the new black and white colour scheme. And I totally get that the the people who are unhappy are more likely to post on these forums than those that are happy. However, regardless of which side of the fence you sit on, this very public display of dissatisfaction is not a very good for the company or its users. So maybe it's about time Sonos now made a statement -- not in reply to this or to me, or even on this forum, but something to say where the company stands which v8. Is it the vision the company sees for the app (and something we'll ha

Hi All, A while ago I posted information about a Kodi addon controller (XBMC at the time) . Since then it's home has changed location and some poeple on the Kodi forum have struggled to find it. It's new hosting is the following repository: http://www.urepo.org/Addon.php?t=15520 Thanks Rob
