Spaces & Setups

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

Hi, I have been facing the following problem since many months now and none of the solutions seems to work. My set up is Playbar connected to LG smart TV via Optical cable, 2 Play 1s and a Sub. Tv is connected via Wifi, Sonos Playbar is hard wired to the router. The problem of sound not coming at all happens a lot of times but following are some of the instances I have noticed it over and over again. When starting a video on youtube app on tv, Also again when a new video starts Also while switching apps on tv like to Netflix I loose the sound. To get back the sound I go to Sonos app and select a song (while the video on tv is still playing with no sound) and the sound comes back. Please help to resolve this?

Planning on getting 2 play1 speakers for surround speakers for use with a playbar and LG OLED TV . Would play 3 or play 5 speakers offer any advantages?

Hi - We have a nexus 7 running the sonos controller (version 3.8.3 build 19459140). Everything looks pretty good except i cannot "share track with facebook". I can share with google/gmail/google+ no problem! please help thanks

Is it possible to save volume presets/profiles ? I've had a good look around and can't seem to see anything of the sort. Just wondering if I'm missing something. Would be good to be able to save presets ie. dinner party, sunday morning, whole house etc Where as for each defined setting each speaker had a saved volume

New listing on FCC today for Sonos product 'S15' Label is totally square so could be a new connect type device ? Let the speculation begin !

Never had this issue until iOS update 10.3.1 on iPad Air . But still plays perfect from my iPhone 7 on iOS 10.2.1. Controller software is 7.2

I just purchased a new home. Previous owner left behind an older Bose Acoustimass SE 5-Speaker System with a Rosssound Impedance Matching Speaker Selector. The home is hardwired with two speakers on an outdoor porch, two wall mounted speakers that face the television. I have two goals: I would like to be able to use my existing speakers to play music, and later add a play 5 to create a third zone inside. I would also like to be able use two of the existing speakers and the existing subwoofer along with a playbar to enhance the television sound. I hope that makes sense, I appreciate any feedback you can provide.

I have a Tivo Romio, LG OLED TV and Playbar that work great together. I recently swapped over to the Playbase, and ever since, I get a feedback popping noise whenever I switch channels, and sometimes the audio just goes away altogether. If I switch my Tivo to PCM from DD, the issue goes away. Is there a beta firmware I can test to see if this is corrected, or do I need to just return the playbase and go back to my playbar?

Noticed alot of people place their play5 next to their vinyl player on the same table. Does anyone have experience if this works at all? There is alot of bass punch and I'm worried there will be disturbance. Second question. Is there big difference between streaming and directly connected with rca to the play5?

Hi Is there a way to pair the sub with 2 group of speakers I have 5.1 surround with playbased and 2x play 1 and a sub I also have a pair of play 5 gen2 which I like to play music on it. The surround sound setup I don't like the sound of it for music, great for movie. I like to setup so the pair of play 5 use the sub when I listen to music and in surround setup when I watch movie

I'm creating this thread as a place to share how PLAYBASE performs with the Samsung JS/JU line and whether audio issues may occur as it is the case with PLAYBAR - https://en.community.sonos.com/home-theater-228993/samsung-jsju-model-tvs-audio-issue-with-playbar-6736004 I personally own a 55" TV of this line (UN55JS8500).

I have a turntable connected to an old Marantz amp. I have a Sonos Connect running through the tape-out so that I can play my turn table through my 5.1 system (playbar, sub, 2 play 1's) I am also considering purchasing a pair of play 1's for another room across house...and also to move / setup outdoors on nice days. My other option is a play 5 in place of the pair of play 1's...... which would represent better sound for turntable?

My sonos keeps switching to rooms currently hidden

I already have a nice Subwoofer that I'd like to integrate with my pair of Play 1 speakers. The Sonos Connect seems like a possible way to do this. First question: Can I pair the Play 1's with a Subwoofer via the Connect? Second question: could the Connect be used with the Playbar (if I were to get one) for home theater?

I currently live in a small ish apartment and have one play 1 for the living room I want to expand and am debating Between a play 1 or play 5. If I went with the play 1 I would create a stereo pair and leave them in the living room. If I went with a play 5 I'd keep that in the living room and move the play 1 to the kitchen or bedroom. I worry that the play 5 would be To much for my living room but I do like having multiple zones Thoughts are welcome

I have my Sky Q connected to my Playbar using HDMI in and Optical out through my Samsung Smart TV. The sound quality is poor, very tinny. I find if I set Sky Q to Dolby some channels have no sound at all, so I have to set it to Normal. My TV audio is set to PCM. I don't have a Sonos sub, and I am finding I have to set the bass to maximum to get any depth at all to the sound. I also have two Play 1s set up for surround sound but when using Sky Q I hardly hear anything through them, just the occasional almost undetectable sound. Playing music through the system is fine, and playing Netflix on my TV through the Sonos system is fine as well. it's just Sky Q. When I switch to Spotify or Netfix from my Smart TV the volume blasts out all of a sudden, the Sky output volume is extremely low. I don't want to connect Sky Q audio optical out directly to the Playbar as then the playbar won't receive any other audio source from the Smart TV, e.g. Netflix, Amazon Video, Spotify etc. and I don't

My Sonos Connect is only providing an audio output intermittently to my hifi amplifier. I know it's the Connect that is at issue, rather than the amplifier, because my CD player is also connected to my amp and that is working just fine. I have also checked the Network Matrix, and the connection from the Root Bridge (a Play 3) to the Connect is fine (inbound/outbound is 43/38). Any ideas? Thanks! Mike

Hi there. New to Sonos here. I am trying out a Play1 for the first time and enjoy it for the most part. But I am having an issue with the volume randomly turning up to a very loud state. There is no one else using the app to control the volume (which was my first thought). Does any one have any ideas on this?

Hi I bite the bullet and try out playbase, I spent the over the long weekend and got surround sound to work with Kodi via passthrough and all my media that has surround sound works in 5.1, including Transcoding DTS to Dolby 5.1 Today it gone silent no matter what I do when I send DD 5.1 I get the video but audio is silence I check under about my sonos system and it said the playbase audio in is silence. everything else works though, TV, Netflix DD 5.1 works. What is going on do I have a faulty unit?

Had no problems before and in music mode no problem. But in TV mode the sound is cracking

I have Sonos Play 5 that is wired and Play 1 that uses Wifi. Spotify is skipping songs. Sometimes every song skips, and sometimes one, two songs play fine until next song skips after 30s - 2 minutes. I have tried to change wifi channels but the problem still continues on 1, 6 and 11. I have a 50 mbit internet connection and Airport extreme AC router.  I have sent a diagnostics report with number 3956286.

Is there any possibility of having a 'custom' option for duration times associated with Alarms and Sleep Timer?

Hello! I have 3 rooms grouped together. In one of the rooms (Play:1, The toilet), I loose power to my Sonos every time I turn off the lights. I was hoping it would start playing again once lights were turned on but I can`t find anything about "autoplay" or similar in options. Obviously I have to group this room up again with the others every time the lights has been turned off and its kinda...irritating--:rolleyes: ...espescially on beer-nights where this light goes on and of quite often... If this isnt gonna work out as I planned Im afraid I bought one Sonos too many, since I never play music "in-here-only". I just wanted the feeling that my whole house was full of music all the time(: Any tips is much appreciated, thank you

Hi So I purchased the playbase on day of release. Absolutely love it but I do have a slight concern. I previously had a sound bar with a separate sub. Because I watch most of my stuff late at night I would just leave the subwoofer off. But now with the playbase that isn't possible. Even with night mode on and the bass set to lowest.. there is still a definite 'punch' to sound. I'm just wondering how far this 'thump' travels though a big wooden tv stand, floorboards, a small gap then concrete. I hear the guy downstairs something's walking about and yelling at his cats and he must hear my floorboards freak if I can hear his.. Why haven't I approached him? Because he's mental. I try to keep interactions to a minimum. He keeps himself to himself though. I'm hopeful he doesn't hear any thumping but was curious Thanks for any info on this Jon
