Spaces & Setups

So basically looks like my options are Sonos Branded Mount (only seems to be sold on Sonos.com)  Flexson Mount (which supposedly is easy to install) but almost as pricey as the Sonos Brand or the Sanus one which is supposedly ½ the price but seems like its the most complicated to install. Can’t find any reviews on the Sonos branded one but both the Flexson and Sanus have pretty decent reviews with the Flexon leading in the amount of reviews.

In the sorting of playlists, could the app consider any numbers as numerical values, instead of as a strictly alphabetical string?I imported numbered playlists from iTunes but the S2 app orders them like:playlist 1playlist 10playlist 2playlist 3 … edit: I supposed the same question applies to sorting artists, album titles, and songs with numbers in the names, but it’s less of an issue here for me.

We have problems with Beam and TV Sony KD49XH8596. For only TV audio ( no music streaming, no control by App ), we found that the problem is solved deactivating  wifi from Beam. Anyone else had found this method working?

I’m considering changing my Ones in the surround setup for two fives (moving to a bigger house) and am wondering the following: As Fives behave differently horizontally from vertically, what is the best position in a surround setup? I will also be using it for music a lot so it should be the best setup for both.  Thanks!

Reading a lot of topics on the issues people are having with Symfonisk and the drop outs and poor WiFi connections.They seem to be around a year old most posts, but then a few 3-4 months old.Have the issues been fixed now, perhaps with Firmware or Software upgrades?Considering the Lamp for surrounds for a Beam or Arc. Thank you 

Hi,im confused and hope you can help. I’m trying to work out how to achieve the best possible sound output quality through my sonos system using quboz do I have to play qobuz content through the sonos S2 app to get the highest quality sound playback through my sonos system or can I use the qobuz app and stream via chromecast or airplay?  the other option I have is to chromecast to my Sony tv and then output the sound through the Arc and sound system...  side note but within the sonos app I can’t see what sound quality the playback is playing through qobuz. For all I know I’m playing the CD quality version of an album when there are multiple options . It’s very frustrating ! 

Just downloaded the new app (June 2020) as requested by Sonos. Despite their email stating: “Just download the new app to your phone or tablet and delete the old one. All your services, favourites, and settings will be saved” I can’t even get the app to find and connect to my Sonos Beam. Anyone else having this issue?

I just purchased and set up a Beam connected to a Samsung smart TV and two Sonos Play One speakers that I already had.  I set them up as a group for surround sound.  My TV remote only controls the volume of the Beam, and not the Play One’s.  Any solutions?  

Hello, I have a sound bar connected to my tv. I want to be able to control the volume without controlling the tv volume. When I pair the bar to a tv / Sky remote it controls the sound bar, but obviously still controls the tv volume too. Therefore if I turn it up the sound bar, the tv also turns up so there is an echo because there’s two sound sources. Is there a way to pair a tv / sky remote without it also turning up the tv itself?  I can control with Alexa but it’s a hassle.  

I am trying to play my music that I have uploaded to my iTunes account through my Sonos One speaker. I have Apple Music app on my phone, from which I can access my music library & listen to through phone or earphones. I do not have a monthly subscription to Apple Music, I just use the app to listen to my library. I have installed Sonos app on my iPhone but when I try to add Apple Music it says I have to subscribe to Apple Music? Am I able to listen to my library in my iTunes account on a Sonos speaker or do I have to subscribe to Apple Music too?

I have an older sonos connect amp so can not upgrade to S2 (which in itself is ridulous enough - surely there must be a way to make the S2 app run in a kind of limited S1 mode, but anyway, ok). The issue is the S1 app keeps telling me and all other users that the S2 app is there and we should upgrade. How do I turn off this annoying notification? Can this only be done by the general notification toggle (meaning we won’t get other notifications anymore either?

Hi.  I have an Amp playbar and would like to add rear surround and sub to the this by integrating to the ARC.  Clearly, I can do this using Sonos speakers.  However I have a perfectly serviceable Sub and pair of rears already wired in.  Consequently, I’d like to double check a few points.  These are probably obvious but before I place an order…Can I connect in a Sonos AMP and configure this in the ARC setup to be recognised BOTH as the Surround and Sub (i.e. identify AMP under the ‘+ Connect Sub’ and ‘Set Up Surrounds’? Can I in the AMP set a level for the surrounds and then allow the AMP volume control to change the volume of the 5 speaker set together?  (I’m assuming here that the sub level can be set on the Sub itself against the sub line out level from AMP)? Hoping that the answers here are both yes but I only have the ARC so not quite sure how the Sonos connectivity plays here.       

I am experiencing some weirdness when trying to select Sonos Radio Stations as the source for an alarm using my iPad Air iOS v14.4.2. I am using Sonos S2 v13.0.5. It will not allow me to view any of the Sonos Radio Stations past the main menu below:For instance, when I select the Sonos Presents folder, it flickers for an instant but kicks me back to the same menu. Same for any other choice. If I close the Sonos app, reopen it and try again it will strangely allow me access into one folder but only once.  So I may be able to see the station choices in Sonos Presents, for example, but if I back out and try any other folder (Trending Now, Featured, etc.), I am again rejected and sent back to the same menu shown above.  I re-booted my iPad but no change. I then realized there is a new iOS v14.5. So I downloaded that but no change. I then deleted the Sonos App from my iPad and re-installed it. No change.So then I pick up my iPhone 12 iOS v14.2.2 with same Sonos S2 v13.0.5 and I was able to

I picked up an ‘untested’ CR200 - intending to use it with some old S1 speakers.Charges and holds its charge well, but the touch screen isn’t functioning, (at least at the bottom) so I am unable to connect it to my network.Having searched in vain for repair guides etc, I realise this is likely to be a dead end, which is sad because it is in otherwise excellent condition.My only thought now, would be to see if i could use it for a trade-up, but the Ts and Cs indicate it needs to be connected to a system in order to be eligible.is there any way I can connect it to my network/speakers, or anything else I could do with it ?  

I'm confused over the upgrade discounts.I knew when S2 was announced, those that were not compatible got the 30% upgrade and i have 2 of those. But i now also see a Connect Amp, another Connect that are the newer versions OK with S2, giving 15%off. Why is that?Will the newer Connect Amps and Connect that are good for S2 now, somehow be no good for S2 in the future, and its Sonos way to try and get you off them now? Or can I be confident they will always be ok on S2 app? 

Is it possible to combine ARC under TV & Beam behind the couch? 

I’ve noticed in the last month or so - dialog seems to be very muffled on my Arc (paired with a Sony X900H). It seems to be consistent across sources. Very noticeable in Netflix with 5.1 audio - changing to Stereo mostly fixes it, but not perfect. Also notice it with Discovery+.

Hi there all,I recently purchased a new 65” Sony 4K 120HZ TV to maximize my gaming and theatre experience at home. Come to find out, in order to get the 4K 120HZ gameplay, the Xbox Series X must be plugged into the eARC port….. the port that the Sonors Arc is already plugged into.What is my workaround here? Is there one? 

Roam is arriving shortly, and I was wondering if there are any plans for a discrete wall mount? It would be great to be able to put it somewhere which is not a table or desk! 

I like seemingly many others have a broken port. Today I unplugged it to install a new TV and now it won't stay put and falls out. Are these easily replaced? The playbar is perfect apart from this crappy component which appears to have fallen apart. I know it was lose a couple of years ago but now it needs replacing. Can these be replaced easily or is it part of a board? I really don't expect such poor component from a high priced product. Thanks in advance

I am switching out my old sound/speaker system in my 1400 sq. ft. hair salon.  No more ceiling speakers (6).   What I need is help with the system, I’m completely confused.  Do I need the Five Wireless and then bundle with several OneSL?  If so, how many?  They will be installed on top of the styling tower stations.  Thanks for your help!

How could I move a Bridge and Sound bar to another room?(I may have incompatibility problems between S1 and S2. I want to maintain version S1 but maybe these equipement has been automatically upgraded to S2) 

Hello Everyone...I am looking at a Andover Audio SpinBase amp/speaker for a spare bedroom. My turntable will be connected to the Spinbase amp/speaker which I’d like to connect to the Sonos system in my house. There is only a Line Out and Headphone Out on the SpinBase. Both are single 3.5mm outlets. Can I connect a Play 5 using just one 3.5 mm cable from the SpinBase to the Play 5 to connect my vinyl to my house Sonos system? Thanks. 

Graag ervaring van personen die al de roam gebruiken. Volgens verschillende topics zie ik veel klachten betreffende batterijduur die geen  10 u en ook geen 10 dagen in stand-by. Klopt dit ? Of zijn er gebruikers die hier geen problemen mee hebben? Mod Edit: Added English translation:Like experience from people who already use the roam. According to various topics I see many complaints regarding battery life that is not 10 hours and not 10 days in standby. Is this correct ? Or are there users who have no problems with this?  

Hi! I would really love to join the Sonos ecosystem, but I feel like Android is only rudimentarily supported, Sonos advertises Trueplay and AirPlay like two of the main features - but doesn’t provide a similar feature set for Android. Are there any plans to support Android fully in the future?
