Hi Currently, I purchsed two sonos amps and would like to set up a few in ceiling speakers around my house. I think I'm in need of a speaker selector switch to control the volume outputs, do you have any reccomendation on something with 6 or more zones?1 zone - for the theater room 1 zone - for outside 1 zone - den 1 zone - master bedroom 1 zone - kitchen   

I am adding a new Product (the Ikea Symfonisk) to S1 and my current setup of playbar and x2 Play 1s (which will run fine on S1 app), but takes me tot he page that states the sonos app needs updating, even though I have already the updated S1 app -- when I click update it takes me to update to S2, and there is no way to get around it, and add a product to S1 app.  

Hello. I’m more than happy to airplay from Apple Music to my Sonos speakers but I have a question for you. I’ve been taking a look to Cambridge audio cxn v2 and the new Evo unit (this one is a bit redundant as it comes with an internal amplifier). The idea is to haga a device that I can plug an hdd unit with flac music and connect it to the Sonos speaker. As an aside, it also provides a display where you can see the cover art, title etc. which is also neat. Questions are: can the Cambridge audio be connected to Sonos via wifi or only via line in? are there other solutions that provide a display and the capability of playing hdd files?thanks ! 

Hi,I've tried searching, but everything is linked to getting a Nvidia shield or Roku box...Can I use the Sonos Arc (without hdfury arcana) direct from a smart TV without eARC?I know it won't be lossless Dolby Atmos, but will it be 'OK'? Or is the Sonos Arc a waste of money without eARC?Or shall I just invest in an Nvidia shield (even though it doesn't do anything different to my smart TV - other than eARC support)Appreciate the advice!

Hi All, I have a Sonos Beam upstairs and ARC downstairs. I have been thinking of getting A eufy wireless doorbell and I know that you can set it up so when someone rings your doorbell your Alexa device will chime. BUT sonos products apparently don’t support this strangely and a separate Alexa device would need to be purchased, which makes no sense to me when you should really get the full works in the sonos devices. I would like to request this feature to be added to the Sonos device please @Sonos   

0 repliesHiim looking for recommendations for best most suitable Sonos set up for our morning room which runs into the galley kitchenthe Morning Room is 12ft x 12ft and the kitchen is 17ft x 9ft. At the moment I just listen to music and radio on a 2nd gen play 5. We are putting a tv in the morning room and I’d like stereo sound, I’d also like the option of having a speaker at the far kitchen end for when I just want music or radio in the kitchen. It’s rare that the music is played at any great volume, just want the quality therefore thinking of Sonos Beam with Alexa under the tv, poss 2 x SL Ones in the morning room and then 1 x SL One at the far end of the kitchen, and then sell the play 5. I gave an arc in my living room but don’t want to spend that much on the set up for these two rooms. any thoughts/ suggestions for the best system for this room combination  thanksdave 

ok my thoughts on this, maybe (probably) not yours but interested in constructive opinions and viewpoints (excuse typo in heading). I’m not sure how many in here now will have ever used the CR200. I’m sure back then it cost a lot to make and that Sonos didn’t sell too many and that phones/tablets seemed the way forward. We now have voice control which is of course amazing, but it’s not good for browsing and discovery.  And the app we have now is — well, it’s ok.  It doesnt look great, it works and it’s ok. But does anyone else think it doesn’t feel like 15yrs of evolution from the CR200? Android tablets can be bought cheap from China in bulk and I don’t understand why Sonos don’t just buy in an unbranded model, lock it in with the Sonos app and have a known stable hardware platform that they can develop on, and that will appeal to the install market they are courting.  A dedicated controller feels premium as a controller in a way your phone doesn’t.   I love my Sonos and would never be

I’ve been a Sonos user at my primary home for over 10 years, having a very simple Sonos setup that works well for me since I already had a high end stereo system. However, I now live up to 50% time in a second location - a 1 bedroom flat. I’d like to port my music there as follows: attach an external HD with the Sonos music files to a generally idle computer and play it via Sonos without benefit of a stereo system.A friend has volunteered to give me her old S1 components, but I don’t understand the set-up without a conventional stereo & stereo speakers to know whether I could put something simple together from what she has (and which components I should claim). My modem/router is a different room than the one where my speakers would be, so I assume that I would need a Sonos bridge. I have a good quality pair of Bose computer speakers if that would be useful, but have no other stereo equipment other than a cheap 1-piece stereo for playing music on an iPod (so of no use for Sonos). I

Hi,I have a playbar that i would like to connect together with my Sonos Amp that powers 2x3’rd party speaker and a 3’rd party subwoofer. My goal was to get 2 front speakers, 1 “center”-speaker(playbar) and the sub. is this possible? - if yes…. Then how? :-)

Hi I have a Sonos Roam and really like the sound quality etc from this small speaker. But there is one thing I don't like, or I cannot figure out.When I don't use the Roam and store it charged to 100% and it is near my other speakers and within WiFi range it turns on for a few minutes every time somebody opens the APP and/or. I have more that 10 speaker and 4 active users so this happens very often during a day. As a result the battery level is getting lower and lower over a few days and when I would like to take it outside the battery level is (to) low and at least not full anymore.What I would like is to fully power off the Roam to be sure it never turnes on and uses any battery power when not In use. I tried bij using the button on the back but still it turns on every now and then. And I don't want to have it placed on the charger 24/7.What is the trick I'm missing (if any). ? Regards, Jeroen Arends 

Hopefully a not so crazy question: now that the Roam is coming, will we ever be able use it as a calibration device for other Sonos speakers, e.g. home theather setup, etc.?I don't own any Apple devices to use trueplay and I imagine it's even annoying for Sonos to keep up with multiple device / mic profiles as even the latest iPod / iPad iterations are not yet supported. This wouldn't be a problem with Sonos Roam as you are already in control of what goes in them and we could finally have a solution for this whole "no trueplay on Android" topic.

Hello,I would like to have your thoughts using a pair of Sonance/Sonos architectural wall speakers in a pair of DIY wooden speaker box specifically prepared for these speakers (instead of putting them in the wall).Would it be possible? How would be the quality of the sound?I don’t want to make halls in my walls, and to be able to benefit from Trueplay feature in a Dolby Digital 4.1 setting using my Sonos Amp, Sonos Sub Gen 2, and a pair of Play 3s as surrounds.Thank you very much in advance for your responses.

I currently have a bridge (8-9 years old) needed for outdoor speakers. It’s my only component that operates under the S1 app and, ideally, I would like all components under S2 now. What is the appropriate piece to buy...a port or boost? I’m assuming port but I’m not finding the answers I need. Or is there another option? 

Hi can the roam play at the same time as the one and 5 and sub? the Sonos app doesn’t allow me to play music on the whole system including the roam.   it’s either roam on its own without the rest or all the other speakers on their own without the roam.   is this normal or am I doing something wrong? thanks.   

2018 Vizio TV connected to new Sonos Beam. Every couple of minutes the audio cuts out for a few seconds. Similar experience to all the others that have posted here under same title. Diagnostic confirmation number: 1230383811. Please help. Beam was a gift from my girlfriend and she is really upset.

Having an issue with my Beam where the bass sounds like your in a cheap car trying to play songs the sound system can’t handle - unsure if clipping is an accurate description of this. I can only use the volume at low levels so this doesn’t happen. Bought the Beam in October and have never gone overdrive with the volume. It occurs when I’m listening to music, watching TV, playing games, the whole lot. Connected with HDMI 2.1 to an LG CX and connected via Ethernet cable.  Diagnostic number is 485750751. Thanks 

I have a network of two Sonos Ones, and on a daily basis, or at least a few times a week the S2 app doesn't connect. This has been going on as long as I remember. I can still perfectly use the system through my SmartThings hub, but it's obviously limited.I have read in the app review that many others seem to have this problem.I assume this is a bug, as the app itself (and with recent improved functionality) guides through the process of restarting the speakers. This helps most of the time, but it's not good enough in the long run.I assume Sonos are aware? Is this bug going to be fixed, and if so, when? 

I was really excited to receive the roam to extend my music to the other rooms - but am as much more disappointed of its functionality. It doesn’t keep the charging - turns on and off without instruction and is hard to get connected when needed. Quite annoying and demotivating for such an investment - knowing there are other and cheaper loudspeaker systems. As much as I am impressed by the beam the roam is a flop ... 

I turn on the device start playing music and without warning the device turns itself off

MorningDoes anyone know if the sound quality on my sub would sound better underground or above ground?

I can’t see a way to add a station to an alarm. For example, I listen to Folk Alley through Sonos Radio, yet there does not seem to be a path to create an alarm with this channel, as only certain stations appear in the list of available alarm music choices. Am I missing something in the Alarm setup 

I like many others over the years have invested thousands of pounds in sonos. I am completely fed up with sonos removing my ability to get updates deeming  my system archaic, always being asked to upgrade or buy new with 30% discount!.my sound bar and subwoofer are now in a box in the garage! Not good enough Sonos! I invested Thousands in your product to be let down!!!!!!

I’ve recently noticed my Sonos Arc is slightly curved – if looking down from above. I wanted to ask if this is a part of the design, or a defect? I don’t have mine mounted, but if I did, the bracket on the back would NOT be flush with the wall.Has anyone else noticed this?

Originally with my Pro 6’s I had some WiFi issues, which ended up being caused by my wireless subwoofer (Sony HT-ST5000). I fixed it by locking my subwoofer to a single 5.2 ghz channel and turning on “secure link”. My theory at the time was that eero would learn that that particular channel was too noisy and not bother with it.Since the 6.2 update the same WiFi issues seem to have resurfaced, sometimes my connection is fine and other times I have incredibly slow speeds (sub 1mbps on a fiber connection 10 feet from the eero). My subwoofer is having intermittent connection issues too. Granted this could all be a coincidence, but it started happening the day 6.2 was installed on my network.Is anyone else experiencing anything similar?
