I understand the Sonos Ace supports AptX Lossless and AptX Adaptive. Does it also support AptX HD and AptX?

Tidal on the new app. Cover art is missing from the playlists and you’re not able to add anything to the Sonos Favorites. Is this going to be addressed?

How to downgrade S2 to S1 downgrade tool in IOS where is the tool and whatwould be good doing this, i have 1xNew amp, 2xplay3,1 play1, 1xSonos ikea lamp.

I added a new amp to my existing five amp system. All 5 A play and operate. New amp shows it’s added correctly and appears on my app however, when I attempt to play music, the selected song does not play in instead. Sonos app begins scrolling through my playlist. If I select another song, same thing happens.

I used to listen to my local NPR station on Sonos using TuneIn. However, now it seems I have to pay for a premium subscription to TuneIn in order to do so. Do you have any suggestions for alternative ways I can listen to my local NPR station on Sonos without using TuneIn?Thank you.

I’m having trouble getting Amazon Music to play through my Sonos system. What troubleshooting steps can I take to resolve this issue, and how can resources or guidance from Amazon Oddit and SwiftStart assist in addressing connectivity problems between Amazon Music and Sonos?

Something I have noticed is that if you switch to radio you lose your queue.

updated to the latest firmware today and can’t control the volume via the iPhone’s physical buttons anymore through airplay.  is this another strategic move to keep the users locked in the sonos app, and not able to control music and volume via airplay and other apps such as apple music?   

My basement bar has a TV, four wired speakers, Sonos Connect, two Play Ones and chromecast.I ran everything through an AV receiver and an old DVDO video processor (which just died) - the setup allowed me to listen to either the TV on all 6 speakers or music on all 6. Now that that video processor is kaput, does anyone know a simpler solution? 

I am trying to understand minimum upgrade options on my legacy system. My configuration is 2 Sonos Play:1 speakers, 1 Sonos Connect, and 1 Sonos Connect:AMP, all currently connected via Sonos Bridge. All were purchased in 2013 except for one Play:1 that was added in 2016. I am interested in utilizing the upgrade discounts to add Airplay capability. Not sure if I can mix and match old with new or if I need to upgrade everything. Question: Are any of these legacy components compatible with the newer Sonos S2 iOS App? According to the Sonos website, When an AirPlay compatible Sonos product is playing AirPlay audio, you can group it with any other Sonos product in your system for multi-room playback.Question: Does that mean I could upgrade one Play:1 speaker to an Era and stream music via AirPlay to that speaker, and then group it with the rest of the legacy system (or maybe at least the other Play:1 speaker)?

I have a Sonos sound bar attached to my telly. If I buy the Sonos Roam can I connect that so I can have the music wherever I go in the house with the music still playing on the sound bar 

Hi there,I am suddenly unable to group speakers. Individually they all work fine, but unable to group speakers with the most recent app. Also, “manually grouping” by holding the play button for 3 sec, doesn’t seem to work anymore. How can I make this work again ? Any help is appreciated.

Headed on vacation. Wondering if I can lug along my two Play 1’s, connect my computer without using a vacation router of any ilk? Thanks for your help.

My parents are hard of hearing. I want to make the surrounds (Era 100) not play as surround sound but play the same audio that the Beam plays. Basically the three speakers are playing the exact same thing. Is that possible?

I’m looking for some guidance on setting up a multi-room audio system. Living Room: This will be the main area for TV watching, so guessing the unlimate immersive set?Master Bedroom: I plan to do some TV watching here as well, so I’d like a good audio setup, but not as extensive as the living room.Dining Area: I’m unsure how to effectively cover this space. Any recommendations?Bathrooms: I was thinking of using single Era 100s. Would that be sufficient?Balconies: I’m debating between the Roam or Move for these areas. What would you suggest? I’m looking to achieve full coverage without going overboard.  Thanks!  

I have been using my turntable with my Sonos Amp for years. I want to add a cassette deck. Obviously only one will be playing at a time. Would a simply RCA Y-splitter work so I don’t have to manually unplug and plug into the Amp input? Thanks!Adam      

I’m running an LG C9 with a Panasonic UB820 Blu-ray player and a Sonos Arc setup with Sub Gen 3 and One SL surrounds. Despite the recent multichannel PCM update, I’m still getting only stereo PCM 2.0 from DTS encoded Blu-rays, not 5.1 PCM. My setup includes 48gbps HDMI cables, eARC is enabled, and all devices are up to date. The C9 is set to PCM with eARC enabled, and DTS output is set to PCM on the UB820. Additionally, my room is decorated with a balloon garland from HouseofParty.com, which might be affecting the setup. Has anyone managed to get 5.1 PCM output with a similar setup, or have any ideas or settings that could help resolve this issue?

What happens when Sonos receives an audio stream (say from Amazon Music) in excess of 24/48?Does Sonos reduce it to 24/48 or something lower or even not play it?

I’ve been awaiting a fix to whatever broke my Local Library support a few weeks ago. I had already applied the workaround since the April update, of sharing the local Music folder on the Mac as a network drive, then re-adding the library using that location. It had worked fine through May, June, and early July until the update then came which broke it.So I’d like to try the new 80.06 version, but so far it’s only showing available for the Android or iOS versions. Has anyone seen info on when the MacOS version will come? I’m growing tired of only being able to listen to my Spotify or Pandora playlists.

Can I connect my google tv box to my Sonos system?

Hello, Just purchased a Sonos Move 2, which i enjoy very much, Was expecting to have Notifications-Style Audio Controls - just like in other music apps ( tidal, spotify, youtube music ), yet they seem to miss in the Sonos app, Noticed from the current discussions that other users might experience the same thing, Hopefully this will get solved in the next patches, doing my job to report it, In order to resolve this, i’ve tried :reseting app from Sonos Uninstall and reinstall Clear cache and data and then restart sonos restart phone have allowed Sonos notifications in Android app config( multiple times in different combinations ) Maybe it’s related, i’ve tried following this guide, but that option does not show up https://support.sonos.com/en/article/control-sonos-volume-with-a-mobile-device-s-hardware-buttons  Have attached screenshots with :the issue with Sonos Sonos is actually running Youtube Music correctly displaying much appreciated audio controlsMissing lock screen buttons ( mayb

I just bought a new TV and sonos arc. I also have a speaker system wired through the house that is powered by two stand alone amps and a reciever that is routing the source for that sound. I am considering a sonos port but want to know how i would connect the amps to the port and if the port will replace the receiver which is very old. 

I could not connect to my Sonos system and noted in another conversation the Sonos recommendation to try resetting the app on my iPhone. So I tried doing that, it took me to a page to accept the Terms of Use, License and Warranty agreement, but the accept button is grayed out the only option is to cancel.  What am I missing, or is this another issue with the “new and improved app”?

Good afternoon!I’m in the process of renovating my basement.  I’ve included a schematic layout and I need the best way to power and control the speakers I’ve installed.  All speakers have been hardwired back to the AV rack in the utility room.  They’re cheap Micca 6 Ohm in ceiling speaks I got off Amazon.  And I’ll only be using speakers for music as I have a dedicated home theater elsewhere.  Ideally I would like to have 2 zones.  The first zone would be in the gym where there are 2 speakers.  The other zone would be in the remainder of the basement where there are a total of 5 speakers.  My first thought was to have 2 Sonos Amps, but I understand that since I have an odd number of speakers in total (7), that would cause an issue here.  Second thought would be to get a multizone amp and connect 2 sonos ports to keep the zones separate.  I also have an old S2 connect I could implement somehow.  However, based on my initial research, this option would likely be much more expensive than

Hi I am installing 6 ceiling speakers in my home with 1 amp. A pair in each room so I am after 3 separate wall volume control.
