Spaces & Setups

HelloI am looking for advise and recommendations on how best I can leverage my existing Sonos equipment in a new home. I currently have the following equipment3x Sonos ONE  1x Playbar 1x Ray 1x Beam Gen2 1x AMP  18x Sonos MAG-6R I am trying to use these in a new apartment in the below layout and figure out what additional devices I may need to purchase. Couple of requirementsEach room (BR) should be its own zone so that I can play music through the in-ceiling MAGs individually BR1 and LivingRoom need to have surround setup The Dining Room speakers should be such that they can be clubbed with the Living ceiling speakers for music streaming. When watching TV in the Living Room, only the ceiling speakers in the living room should be used. Based on my knowledge, I have tried to attempt the layout as shown in the image. Red indicates what I will need to purchase - which is what I’m trying to minimize :)My main area of confusion is the best way to setup the Living and Dining in such a way th

I've read a bunch of related responses here, but I'm still having trouble getting my Sonos speaker to play music from my Denon receiver. I have the two connected via the digital coax cable. The rest of my components are connected to the receiver. The sonos app is set up and shows the Port as one of the options to play. I'm set on fixed volume. I'm on Zone 2….but still nothing. Any suggestions?

First let me say that I am technically very adept, having been a DJ and software engineer.  I have installed or upgraded many wired (and more than a few wireless) sound systems.In November replaced my old Definitive wireless system with 3 100’s (2 of which are a speaker pair.)  Also purchased the Pro-Ject-1 turntable.Wow, what crap this is.  Oh yeah sounds great when they work.  BUT...speakers drop off, or the sound goes out, OVER AND OVER.  There is NO interference, the speakers are all close or even in the same room as the router.  Last night we had a party, and just as people were arriving, BOOM, the Sonos app/Spotify once again could find no products.  After unplugging everything (including the router) and firing them all up again, it sort of worked, but the speaker pair was gone and I had to set that up again. Anyone without the technical proficiency of myself would have been at their wits end. I got it work (again, this happens just about every other day) but I was so angry that

I recently upgraded from an Arc with ikea bookcase speakers for surrounds to Era 300 surrounds. Streaming content sounds great which is in typically Dolby Atmos or Dolby Digital 5.1. I tried out using my game console and am finding that the rear channels have a bit of a garbled sound. My console is outputting uncompressed 5.1 sound, and with the ikea speakers the rear channels sounded normal. My console specifically is a docked Steam Deck and I’m unable to output Dolby digital or atmos. Has anyone experienced this before and is there some remedy to fix?

I have a pair of Era 100’s set up as a stereo pair.  I have a CD player which is connected to the line input on the right ERA100.  When playing CD’s the left ERA100 suffers momentary loss of signal.  If I connect the CD player to the left ERA100, the right one suffers momentary signal loss.  I have replaced the cable and tried another CD player and also tried a hard wired connection from my iPad.  Again, no matter what the source, the transmitted channel suffers losses when using the line input.  There is no problem at all if I connect my iPad via Bluetooth, nor is there any problem playing radio or Amazon music.

Hi, I am currently have beam gen 1, 2 One SL as surround, 1 sub mini. I mainly steam movies through Apple TV. Should I upgrade to Beam Gen 2 or Arc and do I need to upgrade the 2 One to Era in order to have Atmos? Thank in advance

Hi, I know this question was already asked several years ago, so I thought maybe it’s been updated since.I’ve got an Arc Ultra, Sub 4, and 2 300s, and I’d like to use a different configuration when listening to music then when watching TV. Basically, I’d like turn off the surround sound, when listening to music.Anybody know how to do that easily?Thanks everybody.

I have 6 x Sonos Ones and SL’s, 2 x Sonos Amps and 3 x Sonos Ports which, as you can imagine, was a huge investment on my part to channel my YouTube Streaming Music via my Android phone across my property. Recently YT Music (YT) stopped working. When I try to play a YT playlist, I get the spinning circle of death on the play symbol. On the 1 time out of 15 it works, shuffle no longer works. Or it plays one different song then repeats the 4 songs its already previously played. Then it goes back to not playing at all.     I have unlinked my account, relinked, reset my router, ‘forgotten’ my entire system, reset and reconnected every one of my components, uninstalled the app, reinstalled it, relinked YT, and relinked components. Sonos S1 gives me a really helpful option to download a google chrome app instead of downgrading my system to work on the S1 App.I see you can connect to the system by bypassing the Sonos App completely and connect directly to the system via the Spotify app. Howev

Hello,A few days ago, I noticed that my Sonos speakers were "unresponsive" in the Home app when I was away from home.After trying several things (rebooting, removing and re-adding the speaker in HomeKit) without success, I reset all the speakers to factory settings. It took some time, but it worked.But this morning, I updated my iPhone and iPad to iOS 18.2.1, and the problem came back! My Sonos speakers are once again unresponsive in the Home app. Please note that I am not at home, so I can't check if it works when I'm on the same network. In any case, do you know a way to fix the issue without resetting the speakers again?Thanks for help.

Hi everyone!We are preparing for the opening of a new Pilates and Dance studio, which will consist of two rooms. The main room measures 7 x 8 sqm with a ceiling height of 4.8m, while the second room is similar in size but has a ceiling height of 2.5m.I believe that one or two pieces of Era 100 in each room should be sufficient. Does anyone have a different opinion or any advice to share?Thanks!

I’m running Google Home, with both Nest Mini (2nd Gen) and Nest Hub (2nd Gen) devices, and a Sonos system comprised Sonos Ones and Sonos Fives.I have added “Works with Google” to the Google Home for Sonos, and set my Sonos speakers as the default speaker for each of my Google Home devices. This worked perfectly to allow me to play music from Spotify and control it using voice commands to Google.In the last few months, it’s stopped working.If I ask a Nest Mini (2nd Gen) device to play music, it works as expected, playing on Sonos as it always has.If I ask a Next Hub (2nd Gen) device to play music, Google responds and says it’s playing on Sonos, but nothing actually plays. If I start music playing on Sonos from my phone and then ask a Nest Hub what’s playing, it can tell me - so it’s as if Google can get information from Sonos, but not give it commands.I’ve tried Sonos support and didn’t resolve the issue. It had me factory reset the speakers, remove Sonos from Google Home and reset ever

In the iOS app, I would like to be able to add multiple podcast episodes at once to the play que. E.g. by clicking the three dots of a podcast show and choosing “Add to End of Queue”. Today, in the TuneIn or Sveriges Radio channels, it is not possible to add multiple/all episodes in one click to the que. Unlike songs/albums/playlists in the Spotify “channel”, you have to add each podcast episode manually, one by one. Very tedious.It is a mystery why this simple ”feature” has not been added yet. After all, the ability to play podcasts has been around for 10 years or so.In the desktop app it is easier to add multiple episodes though, than in the iOS app. Another podcast related problem is to add podcast episodes in chronological order (or simply reverse the play order of the que). Many podcasts is published with the newest episode at top. But in some cases, as with audio books published by free public radio, this is creates a problem, since you want to listen to the book podcast episodes

Is the controller ever going to get better and actually be in control? Had to leave radio on today for 4 hours when out because Sonos wouldn’t let me turn off, having tried for 20 mins before leaving. Regularly have songs stopped and switched but most infuriated about simply not being able to connect whilst having speakers playing in rooms I’m not in. C’mon Sonos - SORT IT OUT!

I am redoing our office/game room and am upgrading the speakers. I have a dual monitor set up with a docking station with HDMI and 3.5mm connected to a MacBook Pro M2. I game and do some video editing and also just browse and wondering if Era 100 connected to docking station works or is there latency. Would it be be better off with a Beam?

My sonos One wont work today as it says I must reauthorise it. It asks me to also reauthorise Tunein. Do I have to have TuneIn to make my Sonos work? Is there a work around? 

Why can’t I use separate music on different speakers in different rooms? Had it before new update. What gives?
