Spaces & Setups

Hi guys, Ive been told to get anything changed we must gather many comments so Sonos will develop the change. So please comment if you think this would be good. You need to find a way that we can use Spotify (in the sonos controller) in OFFLINE mode. So we can listen to our play lists without using our bandwidth. The only way i can work out this can be done is using the spotify homepage and using a sonos connect, we all know these cost a further few hundred dollars and with some efforts we should be able to use the spotify features in the sonos controller with greater ease. Sonos is heavily advertised in regards to music services etc so please increase the features in this area in regards to the controller. With the new chrome devices on sale you need to keep up to stay ahead. Thanks Mike

After the release in April we'll see just how the Playbase aligns with different TVs, but until then, has anyone seen any product shots of the Playbase with a TV that has outer stands? I can only find ones with a central stand.

I need Sonos or Sonos-compatible wireless headphones. Any suggestions?

I'm hoping someone can help me with this problem. Before getting a new laptop I had no problems accessing my iTunes library and playing on my Sonos via my wireless home network. I could also play iTunes through my iPad Sonos app. Now that I have a new laptop, I just can't get the music library set up. Both laptops were/ are PC and my new laptop runs with Windows 10. I'm not very technical but I'm good at following instructions. This is what I have done so far: I have downloaded the controller, followed all the tutorials on managing the library settings (adding the new folder, disabling my firewall, setting my windows network to private), and still my library doesn't show up. I have removed and added the iTunes music folder numerous times and while I can "add" the folder, I am not getting the option to adjust sleep settings or any of the other screens shown in the online tutorial When I check my imported playlist, my music library is not showing up. I have tried indexing and still

My system has been connected and having no problems.  Then I started getting fairly regular error messages on all my controllers "Your Sonos System Not Found".  Then the controller functionality returns and I hit play again... only to see that same system not found message 5-10 minutes later.  I'd love some help trouble shooting this problem.

I was not too sure where to post this. 12 volt trigger threads seemed old so I started a new one. Context: ZP90 hooked to a Rotel power amp. I want Rotel to go on standby when no music is played. I read multiple threads and the consensus seems to be that this type of integration is either costly or not reliable due to extended silence between tracks in some records. Here is what I did: Parts: Xantech Current sensing block CSM1 Xantech Power supply 781RG Xantech Audio Sensor Module SMAUD01 Altronix 6062 Multipurpose timer Total Canadian landed cost $110 I originally installed the Xantech components only. So when music was sensed, a 12 volt trigger would fire to the rotel amp. I quickly found the solution to be unusable as the Xantech timer is only 15 seconds and probably less and therefore the amp would trigger on-off multiple times either at end of a track or during silent parts of classical music. I then added the Altronix timer. This is where it came all togethe

I recently purchased a Visio M550SV television. I have set the audio through the Optical Out to Dolby Digital and connected to the PlayBar via an Optical cable (of course {GRIN}). Every few minutes, I experience a brief dropout of the audio while watching TV. Any ideas?

Hey - Whats the best way to do this? When I try and connect these to through my TV optical output A: I'm not getting dolby 5.1 and B: I get weird beeping noises through the playbar. This happens ONLY on HDMI devices, never through the TV freeview Sonos was not much help with this, on the phone for half an hour and just suggested a problem with the TV output (GREAT!) Music and regular TV plays great but its a bit upsetting that a £1300 system is struggling with this. So what are my options? A new TV, but how do I know if it will pass the audio through correctly? Ive tried a cheap optical splitter, but that still beeped through the PS4. perhaps because it was cheap and it was still thinking it was receiving the TV signal? Who knows! A hdmi optical splitter? Again, there are so many of these and they all look so cheap and need remotes, not the best solution.... Current setup; NVida Shield TV and PS4 into hdmi > Samsung UE39F5000 TV optical out into > Sonos Pl

My Play 5 do not start when switched on. There comes a white light for a few seconds and no more happens

Hi, I have an issue with the Sonos App on my Sony Xperia Z1 Compact where the tracks regularly skip to the next one half way through a song. It's definitely the Sonos app as I've tried it through the built in Walkman and Google Play music players and it definitely doesn't do it then. Any ideas on what could be wrong? I've done a search but can only find one link which doesn't help. (I can't paste that link as this my first post).

Question ... If I currently have no Boost or Bridge does that mean all of my speakers are just running off of my Wi-fi network? &nbsp

My girlfriend and I have separate Spotify premium accounts. Both are registered in Sonos. But while I'm home trying to listen music selecting my account she's using Spotify in a laptop at her job and there's an error message saying we can not use Spotify at the same time. But as I said, she's in her account and I'm in mine. Please help. Diagnosis: 4703078

Have not seen this standard anywhere, it does not fit on usual suspects, PC mainboards pci-e, pci and it's way too big for any laptos, is it some industrial std or what, label do not give even partial hits. Maybe it's custom made card for Sonos, it's is possible but very expensive. One this interests me, how are they able to keep hackers out and users in, if they would use std computer parts, they be hacked within first 48 hours. Custom parts keeps huzzlers out and customers in because that is the hardest part, maintaining loyal user base that generates steady income and positive cash flow.

Dear Sir/Madam, I am an AV integration consultant. I am currently working with a residential customer on their sound requirements for a refurbished living space and they have shown a personal interest in your 5.1 Playbar setup. Having looked into this I'm afraid that I just cannot recommend this product to them at this time. It's a real shame as Sonos has always made great products in the past and I feel with this one you have dropped the ball somewhat. How can I recommend a setup that costs £1500+ that is not truly 5.1 without a specific TV or extra switching equipment and even then there would still be no support for DTS audio from Blu-Ray players. I have always loved Sonos. I have specified it to customers for their multi room audio requirements in the past on numerous occasions. With this particular product I just feel dissappointed by Sonos. I think they have let themselves and more importantly, a lot of customers down. With all that being said. What is to be done about this S

Not sure if I'm saying anything new here, but I've come to the revelation that DTS should not be a technical issue (users can't tell the difference between it and DD) but a user experience issue. It's not about sound quality; it's about ease of use. Users shouldn't have to start threads, do expensive research, speak with support, etc. in order to play a video source with DTS. Users can't tell the difference? Fine. But users sure as hell are frustrated when they have to research TVs, blu-ray players, switches and more just to make sure their Playbar or Playbase will work. Pay the license fee. Support the codec. Make your users lives a little bit easier. (Isn't that what Sonos is all about?)

Hi, Just bought a sub from someone and one of the speakers appears too be blown, pretty gutted as I had read that that was near impossible on these subs. Would I be able to buy a new speaker from Sonos? just looking for some options. I am considering opening it and seeing if it can be repaired, anyone have any advice on this please. Thanks in advance from a very wet and cold Dubai

How wel do the 5's do with metal music. Powermetal (manowar and such) and also heavier stuff like scar symmetry and meshuggah ? Thanx Geiri

Why 2 ethernet ports ? In and Out? Any benefit to daisy-chaining multiple Connect Amps?

Hi, I got 3 play:1 registered, but I never received the email confirmation. I'm sure I used my personal email account, but it is not registered. I created a new account, but non of my devices shows up in the registered list. What can i do? Jose

Great Idea! Not nearly wide enough however. I need one about 56 inches wide for my TV Base

So I'm new to the Sonos ecosystem. Last month I bought the P5Gen2 for my home office. Last week I bought 2 P1's for the living room. The next part for my home theater system will be the Playbar or Playbase. I'll wait at least another month for the Sub though. So my question is: does the Playbase has any features (except going under a TV) that should make me buy it over a Playbar? My TV is mounted on the wall so it doesn't matter which one I get. I'd buy the Base just because it's newer but than again, the Sonos page of the Playbar reads "thin is good for TV, but not for sound" - so will the base have worse sound than the bar? What could you recommend?

I have a Playbar + Sub + 2 Play 1s setup and maybe moving to a new house. As we plan the move, i wanted to make sure we get the best ambient setup for our Home Theater. What kind of distances are recommended for the Playbar. How far can the person be from the Playbar to hear good quality sound? The Play 1s are placed in the rear and mounted on Sanus WSS2 stands. I know that all houses vary in dimensions and acoustics, however If some of you can share your setups and experiences it will help me plan better

I'm experiencing sound dropouts between my Sonos Playbar and my new Sony TV. I used to have a Samsung TV and had no problems so I'm confident it's an issue between the TV and the Sonos system. Would appreciate some help/feedback as I've invested a lot of money in the system so far and it's disappointing.

Equipment: - Tivo Premiere HD - Sony XBR 65X850D TV - Sonos Playbar - Sonos Sub - Sonos S1 [two] Issue: If Tivo has Dolby Digital 5.1 Sound enabled the sound drops out for a few seconds [2-3?] when a 30 second skip forward is pressed. This happens *every* time the 30s skip is used. Actually, the sound drops out, then comes back momentarily, then drops out again for a very brief moment, then returns OK until the next time 30s skip is pressed I have worked around this by switching the Tivo output from Dolby to PCM - but I would prefer Dolby obviously. Any help? Known issue? Thanks, Jeff
