Spaces & Setups

I've had my Playbar for a couple months now and can't seem to get the lip sync issues worked out. My setup consists of Xbox One S, PlayStation 4 Pro and Apple TV 4th gen to hdmi switch. From the switch it is HDMI out of HDMI Switch to HDMI input on TV. I've tried different sources and all have issues with lip sync. I thought it may be the switch so I took it out of the mix and still same issue. Tried lip sync on Sonos App still same issue. Tried lip sync on my tv still same issue. Has anyone else has this issue. If so, what was your fix? Thanks in advance.

How about showing the lyrics of a song while in the sonos app on your smart phone of tablet. My son likes a bunch of the music we have on our network and it would be great to use this awesome set up as a way to learn the song while listening to it... Matthew E

Hi everyone, I am looking at buying a projector screen just for my 3.1 by 3.6m bedroom. What brand/product would recommend? I am looking at connecting it to my brand new Sonos play5 (gen2) system. What are all the ways I can connect it up? from the cheapest budget option .... to the high end option where my sound quality isn't lost. But probably looking at. Cheapest option with biggest image possible. Also worth noting looking into a getting to play1 speakers to create a soround sound system in my room. Thank you for your time.

As a full time wheelchair user I like to have all my connected devices all connected in one place, will I be able to add my sonos music system to Apple Homekit? As more and more people are joining the home automation system I'm hoping sonos will add there support to Homekit.

Hi all, Recently bought a play:3 and Play 1. Now moving onto buy a Playbase and a Sub, which I am super pumped about. I have an open plan flat, please see the images. The play 3 sits behind the blue sofa, underneath our bookcase. The Play 1 it currently sitting on the white kitchen ledge on the right of the photo against the wall at the back. I think its cut off in the image, but its the same ledge as the black mug is on. Basically as the playbase and sub are being installed, I want to achieve true 5.1 surround sound. I believe I can only pair two of the same unit? so 2 x 3's or 2 x 1's? It would be ideal to pair the 1&3 is that possible? The issue is, there is no where I would ideally want to put another play 3 in the kitchen, I don't like it standing up on the side. That's the reason I bought a play 1. So I think I would need to buy another play 1? Would I have to move the speakers closer to the blue sofa? Or could I get away with the play 1 being on th

I have a fire stick in a home theater at my house. I would like to plug my fire stick directly into the HDMI of my projector, but I don't want to run audio cables. Is it possible to get the fire stick to communicate with my Sonos system over WiFi? Also, would there be an audio delay if I were to do this?

Dear Sonos- This weekend I streamed Rogue One. It was Dolby Digital Plus 7.1. Time to upgrade your equipment to make it compatible with Dolby Digital Plus 7.1 (DTS support would be great too). I'm willing to wait a year before I sell my Sonos and get either the Axiim Q or Klipsch wireless systems.

Hi Does it make any difference in term of sound quality and output if I mount my play 1 upside down on the wall? Reason I do this so I can easily see status light access to the button

I have a Play Base-1, Sub and 2- Play 1 surround speakers. Case1: PlayBase1, Sub and Play 1 all in same room and use as home theater - Issue: -->I barely feel any sound from surround Sonos 1. Unless I go and stand next to it, I cannot feel any sound. Case2: PlayBase and Sub are part of Room1. Sonos 1 speakers are paired as speaker-pair as part of Room2. Issue: I can feel the surround. But there are sudden drops in connections for a moment. This happens almost every minute when I directly playing from TV and almost every 30 sec when casting to TV. This is very annoying. BTW I have connected Playbase to router via ether net, creating a dedicated Sonos Network. My entire purpose of getting Sonos is wasted.. Please help me getting a solution, or I have no option but to return these.. As this is really annoying..

I recently added a play base to my system. I find the tv requires much higher volume than music streaming therefore there please sonos introduce two baseline settings. At the moment if I try to play music e.g. When I get home it blares way too loud having watched tv the night before. Similarly if I try to watch tv having listed to music the night before, the tv is way too quiet. Did not have this issue when I was using another brand tv bar!! Hopefully an easy software enhancement sonos?

As part of moving to a new house I just upgraded all our televisions to Samsung UN65JS8500 SUHD 4K TV's. Unlike our old house, however, our new home isn't pre-wired for 5.1 and 7.1.  I am an avid SONOS fan and have quite a few SONOS devices and decided to move to using it exclusively for surround on the TV's (to avoid sheetrock work!) .  However I am looking for advice on setting up the system because many of the TV's will have an Xbox One, PS4, DIRECTV, and possibly and Apple TV.  I was thinking possibly an optical only switch as a possible solution but liked the HDMI switch option (if it supports a Logitech Harmony universal remote).  However I don't know of an HDMI switch that support HDMI 2.0a and allows for the 4k or HDR pass through. Thoughts?  Any ideas on a setup?

Does the ambient vs full setting on play 1 surrounds bonded with a play around and sub affect the 5.1 with TV and movies or is the difference only applicable for music listening?

How do I stop the "volume is fixed" error message on my Sony XBR-55X850D, run through a Playbase? I don't see a fixed/variable audio choice on the TV's menu. Relatedly, is it possible to show the Playbase's volume level on the TV, i.e., a volume bar just like normal? It kind of feels like I'm flying blind when changing the volume in the absence of that visual representation.

I have an investment in sonus that I am thinking of ebaying and moving to a DTS play-fi compatible system.. due to My 2.4ghz wifi and saturated and i have band overlap from neighbors Sonos goes goofy things with STP on the ethernet side that gives my managed switches heartburn This results in dropouts and poor performance and questionable future proof with Alexa -- yeah I know there was an accountment for future support from sonos but I hate the clumsiness of skills " tell so and so to do XYZ" .. far easier to tell echo dot to "play music" in addition, Amazon announced play-fi support for streaming and voice commands Also I like teh idea of more of an open platform than closed sonos -- My system is the sonos sub 7 play:1 and a connect to distribute amazon music from an echo dot So what are the community thoughts on DTS play-fi in general and definitive tech in particular?

I've read several posting about why I cant get them to connect, and I think the solution is an HDMI switch with optical output. Can anyone tell me if this is what I'm looking for? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QJGAKCW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 And if so can you further explain the switch and TV settings that I need to setup. I was unable to figure it out on my first try. Thanks!

preordered a black playbase 05-04-2017 on the local elgiganten8svågertorp) in malmoe(sweden) and still waiting for it. they got the white playbase but not the black. frustrating becouse they doesn`t have an exactly date for delivery. how long does it take ´???

I've set up a new playbar with my tv and disabled the volume is fixed message. However now I have a volume message which moves when I raise and lower the volume but it does not seem to correspond with the app. I think I saw a solution to this previously but cannot seem to find it. I'd appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction. My TV is a Sony KDL-55HX850. Thanks.

Any references to differences when listening to a stereo PCM feed into a Playbase vs. a 5.1 single, assuming no additional sub or surrounds? Not sure sweating the lack of DD 5.1 signal from my TV is worth it if not actually having the additional speakers available. I understand the Playbase will matrix a stereo signal into a simulated 5.1, but any feedback if using an actual DD 5.1 feed is sonically better in a playbase only environment?

At the shop where I work, we use pandora on sonos speakers. We pay for a pandora account so there are no ads, but a couple of weeks ago, ads started popping up. We renewed our Pandora subscription and then I went into sonos settings and updated the account information for Pandora. Unfortunately, we are still getting ads when we use a pandora station. What should I do now?

My Sonos system sometimes plays all the songs on an individual playlist without a hitch but there are times when it starts a song and never finishes it before going onto the next then the next song will play through fine and the it starts short cutting songs again. It's very annoying ! What is up with that?

Hello I have just purchased a playbase. I already have an existing sonos system which i run from my iMac or iPhone, which comprises of 5 play3's spread around the house. I'm not using boost i am on a standard set up I have now added the playbase no problem and everything works fine when I'm playing music. However, when using it for tv ( Panasonic Viera TX L47ET5B ) I'm having a problem, Im grouping all my play3's with the playbase , and 1 or 2 of the speakers will have intermittent sound , not always the same ones. It also happens if i just group 2 of them to the playbase. Any ideas anyone. Im not that technical so nothing too complicated !!!! Thanks

I find the Sonos logo on the front of the Playbar unit to be downright irritating. Its going to be right in front of my face all the time that I am in the lounge room. There should be an option to remove the logo and replace with a blank plate Why do vendors always put banner ads on their equipment ? I paid to own it not advertise it.

Hi. I really like Sonos and Sonos App...but I wonder why all we users, do not have an updated volume showed in numbers or (volume bars) Example: My daughter have a speaker upstairs.(Play 1) If she wants some music upstairs in her room, controlled from an iphone downstairs. How Do You know what volume level to play with? Do i really need to walk to every room, to hear each volume level??? My home has levelmeters showed on: Philips Hue lights have % Light volume Apple products have volume bars and battery % Samsung TV's with number volume ...and I can see how fast my car are going:)🆒 , and also the volume on the car radio? ...Can You control that little dot in sonos app. with your much larger finger?:) How can You control the music volume in the bathroom, when You have guests, without going into the room??? ------ QUESTION: Would You like to have the next Sonos App. Updated with volume levelmeter? Bars/Numbers ------ Kind regards Morten Wickstrøm, Denmark
