Spaces & Setups

I absolutely love my current Beam + 2 Play-1 surround setup, and have gotten proficient with the available EQ, TruePlay, Speech Enhancement options. My only issue has been when watching live television musical performances where the singer(s)' vocals are far less clear and muddled with higher musical instrument and crowd cheering sounds. I recall during the Grammys and the lile tinkering with the TV EQ bass/treble volume levels on-the-fly and the speech enhancement option but this approach is very inconvenient and wasn't ideal. It kind of ruined an otherwise pleasant surround sound TV experience. Am I doing something wrong? Could this be a new feature for live tv musical performance vocal enhancement?I also have two One SLs in other rooms. Should I switch out the Play-1s for the SLs?

Few days ago I got my own Sonos one …..but I cannot get its guide with it ….is there anyone who give me the guides ….that how to connect them with the other devices…..

I have 2x Sonos Ones in a Stereo Pair in the kitchen, its only a small room so 3.5m x 3.5m and it sounds good but I am looking to expand the Sonos system to upstairs and I am thinking of moving the One’s upstairs and splitting them so I have one in the master bedroom and one in the guest bedroom to maximise sound.I have been reading online and it says the Stereo pairing is really designed for home theatre so presumably I would better off splitting the Ones separately and sticking one in each bedroom? Bedrooms are 3.5m x 5m each.Would probably look at getting a Sonos Move for the Kitchen which we can take into the garden if needed as kitchen music is not needed all that much. Thanks

Qobuz opened up in Sweden last week and I have an account. But Qobuz music service is not available in Sonos setup. Any thoughts?

Hello all,I’m converting most of my home away from Chromecast / Chromecast audio (too unstable), and I’m  not certain which (if any) components to keep from my existing HT / Surround system. Most of the time we listen to music in multi-channel stereo.The room in question is about 900 square feet (20’ wide x 45’ deep) with 20’ cathedral ceilings.Currently I have a 7.0 system including:Denon AVR-X2300W L/R: B&W CM-1 (vintage floorstanding speakers) Center: Definitive Mythos 3 Surround L/R and back L/R: Definitive BP2XMy plan is to convert to:Sonos Arc (L/C/R) Sonos AMP to power the definitive surrounds Use the sub out to feed a new external sub (thinking Hsu ULS-15 MK2 or SVS Micro 3000).  Alternatively, if I were to get rid of the Definitive surrounds I’d add Ikea symfonisk table lamps for L/R surround. This would obviate the need for the Sonos AMP, in which case I’d get a Sonos Sub.Questions:Does this seem like it will be a reasonably effective setup for the intended use, or am I l

I have created a new applet in IFTTT. In short, it is triggered by a webhook and then it plays a favourite track on my Sonos system. It works great as long as I choose 'include all rooms' and my favorite starts playing. But when I choose 'this room only' nothing happens.  I would like to play the song on an Ikea Symfonisk, but the result is same when I try on my Sonos One or my beam  

I have a TCL TV with roku built in and I used it with my Sonos beam with two One SL speakers as a 5.0 set-up. I connect the TV to beam through HDMI-ARC. I realize I can only receive surrounding TV audio when the output is dolby digital (e.g., the Dolby roku app), but not dolby digital plus (e.g., all other apps including netflix, hulu, disneyplus, etc.). How should I correctly set up my speakers or TV?

HiI have a One and One SL set up as surrounds to my Beam which work great.  I want to keep this so that the One/SL kick in with the Beam as they do now when I turn on the TV.But I was wondering whether there is a way to have the One/SL work as a stereo pair (isolated from the Beam) when the TV is off so I can stream from my Android mobile for stereo sound, but then revert to surrounds automatically when the TV is turned on..I know I can do this by ungrouping the One/SL as surrounds and manually set them up as a stereo pair, then changing them back to surrounds when i want to watch TV but i was hoping there was a way to set this up automatically?  Is that what Ungroup on Autoplay would do?Cheers

Afternoon all. Have a reasonable size Sonos system built over time covering inside & garden on S2 now. All working a treat. Over time I’ve acquired more of these Philips Hue lights than I realised and they are rather good on the whole. I have about 15 of them in the garden I think.I’ve a need (later year - birthday event) to get the two working together.I have the Philips Hue Entertainment App installed on Win 10 PC and it talks to all the lights very happily and I can create multiple entertainment zones. But I do not know how to use Sonos as the source to get the Hue lights to do their thing i.e flash and change colour in time to the music. Probably sounds naff but looking to play the opening quiet 3 mins of The Prague Philharmonics version of Blue Danube outside with a gentle light performance before the remaining 7 mins to a professional firework display. Hey you not 60 every day and I met her in Vienna during this performance :-)I guess I could buy and configure a Port and use

Pre-ordered on March 9th - the very second you could do so.  My Roam has been in “preparing to ship” status since last Friday (April 16th).  Unless it comes tomorrow -- which seems unlikely now, barring a shipped email in the next couple of hours, I’ll be a little disappointed in Sonos.  (note that I'm super happy with my Sonos system -- 4 Sonos Ones and a Port thus far).But based on this experience, what was the point of pre-ordering?  I can literally do curbside pickup tomorrow at a nearby Best Buy and get a Roam tomorrow at 10 AM.   I thought pre-ordering meant you got it ON or BEFORE the release date (not after)?  Technically the release date is in about 4 hours here.Current status, just checked -- again: Placed on March 09, 2021Order SummaryPurchase Subtotal$169.00Discount total$0.00Est.

Just signed up for Sonos Radio HD, but can’t for the life of me find the ‘Sleep’ stations with white/pink noise etc. Do they exist? I know they were mentioned in all the press releases when the HD subscription was launched in November, and a ‘Pink Noise’ channel image is shown at the bottom of the promo page.

I have a pair of ones (a one and a one sl) in my living room that I have paired in stereo which is great for music.Thinking of getting a beam so I can have surround sound for my TV too but wanted to know if I set my ones up as surrounds for film/TV, can I still use them as a stereo pair for music?Don't want to commit to buying and then find out they can only do one or the other!! 

So I am moving from Arc(Sub) to a stereo setup with Amp and Sub.First of all would like to confirm... The Sub pairs with the Amp wirelessly as with a soundbar, through the app? How does crossover work? Does the Amp detect a 2.1 setup and adjusts a default crossover? If so is it adjustable (70Hz 100Hz etc). Much appreciated. 

I’ve got a large open floor plan room.  At one end Yamaha RX-A780 running a 5.2.2 Atmos config.  This is connected to the Sonos system via the digital audio output of a Sonos Port and is configured as the “den” zone.  At the other end of the room Sonos AMP running  4 in ceiling wired speakers configured as the “dining room” zone.   so here’s the issue:  when using the Sonos app to send music to both the den and the dining room zones simultaneously, the den zone is very noticeably behind the dining room zone I’m sure due to digital processing in the Yamaha receiver.  My efforts to adjust Yamaha settings to minimize digital processing haven’t helped.  Also the Dinning room amp set up has an audio delay setting but this seems to have no effect.  What I’m looking for is a way to delay the dining room to get it to match the den.  If Sonos delay settings don’t work can I get a hardwired physical box to introduce an adjustable delay?

My favorite feature of Spotify is that it autoplays a radio station after I finish listening to an album. Despite having autoplay enabled on Spotify, when playing to Sonos through Spotify Connect the autoplay just doesn’t work; the music stops after the album ends.Spotify says this is a Sonos problem, seems like Sonos says this is a Spotify problem. Any ideas how to get this bug worked out?

Going to order the Roam online today. Will the wireless charger work for other devices such as iPhone? Unsure whether to spend the extra money on the wireless charger but definitely would if it were able to charge other devices 

I've just repurposed two Play:1 speakers to act as rear speakers in a surround sound TV setup. I have a Beam connected to my LG TV via HDMI ARC which seems to work fine, receiving Dolby Digital 5.1 from the TV.The first problem I faced was getting both Play:1 speakers connected. For a long time they refused to connect as surround speakers, with the setup routine failing with a non-descript error message ("failed to connect" or similar). After resetting both speakers to factory settings, they eventually connected and the app shows them as "Play:1 (Left)" and "Play:1 (Right)". So far so good!​​​​Unfortunately I'm still not getting full surround sound since the left speaker stays completely silent, whether watching TV or playing music from Spotify. It successfully controls TV audio (e.g. for volume adjustment) but it's not playing any sound. The Beam and the right speaker are both working fine.​​Suspecting a latency issue, I re-installed an old Sonos Bridge and restarted all my speakers t

I can’t possibly be the only Sonos user who wants to use their Sonos Ones for stereo versus surround sound am I? My beam is connected to my Google wifi and TV but my speakers are over wifi. We have vaulted ceilings and my Beam is about 10 feet away on the wall. It’s hard to make out words from a speaker so far away and I want to use my Ones as stereo but my only option is to “group them” which is a pain because we have to manually regroup them on our iPhones every single time we turn the TV back on. Don’t even get me started about adjusting the sound while you’re watching the TV. I have to find my phone, then log in with PIN or face, then open the app, then adjust the sound EVERY SINGLE TIME I WANT TO ADJUST THE SOUND. All because I want stereo instead of surround. We can literally fly a helicopter on Mars and Sonos can’t fix this?? Really?? Had I known this I never would have bought the Sonos “system” which isn’t really a system. It’s just a bunch of component pieces. The sound qualit

How does the Roam compare with the Tap?

My sonos five, unable to detect my 5Ghz Wifi. It only appear the 2.4Ghz Wifi. All my other device connected to my 5Ghz Wifi just fine.I try manually type the Wifi network but still unable to connect. 

Can the roam charge wirelessly while laying horizontal?

I just bought an Arc and two Ones. I ran TruePlay and music is fantastic. TV dialog is hard to understand, I've tried several shows and movies.Can I adjust at all? The TV controlled don't allow for HDMI output.Thanks!

This new feature doesn't seem to work for me with any of my Play1. Works great with my playbar but nothing happens for the Play1 s. 

Any idea when preordered white Roam will be available?

I needed to reset my Roam, but the controller is still showing the device as ‘offline’ despite it being removed from the system. Any thoughts? App all up to date.
