Spaces & Setups

I was wondering if it’s possible to add a pair of Sonos Ones to my existing home theater setup. I currently have the below 3.1 setup, ideally I’d like to add the pair of Ones for a 5.1Current setup - Sonos Arc, Amp (powering 2 rear Sonos in ceiling speakers), Sonos SubIf it is possible, how do I add it to the existing setup via the app? The app makes it seem as if I can only add additional in ceilings (see attached screenshot). If it’s not possible, would adding an additional pair of in ceilings be the path of least resistance for what I’m looking to achieve?  

volume setting of roams is difficult. If the volume of one is changing, the complete system is also influated

Kan ik de app Anytune koppelen met een sonos one luidspreker. 

I have a Play 5 Gen 1 speaker for my garden. I have to play it through the S1 App on my Android phone on a separate network. I also have a Play 1 and Arc using my S2 App on an iPad. The Play 5 worked well for most of 2024, but started suggesting I update before Christmas. I have set it to not receive updates as instructed by Sonos. It will now not let me connect to my music services unless I update. Why am I receiving suggestions to update?Has it suddenly become compatible with S2.How do Zi break out of this mess - other than the obvious. Thanks

Hi,I’ve noticed that the Sonos app can show when my Sonos Ace headphones are connected to my Beam soundbar. However, this connection status doesn’t seem to be exposed in the Sonos API, which would make it usable in Home Assistant or other integrations.If the app can already report features like night mode, speech enhancement, and surround state, I don’t see why the API couldn’t treat the Ace connection as a sensor. Similar to how battery devices report their battery status, the Beam could report “Ace connected” or “Ace disconnected.”This would be useful for automations, such as adjusting playback zones or sending notifications based on the headphones' status. Are there any plans to expose this data in the API, or has this feature already been considered?Thanks.

Hi all! Hope to get some guidance.In essence, I've inherited one Sonos Play 1 speaker and two Play 3. I'd like to connect them to work as speakers for my TVs, which is one Philips from 2019 and a Samsung the Frame from 2023.Is it possible to connect the speakers directly to the TVs? As I've tried to read up on this, it seems like I need a soundbar to go with the speakers, but I'm not sure.. From what I understand as well, the Frame does not have the right "line out" which is needed to connect via cable.All advice here is highly appriciated!

Going to buy a soundbar.Sonos Playbar vs Sonos Beam Gen 2. Is there a big difference in the sound of these two? What would you choose? I can buy a used Playbar for around 300 euros or a new beam gen 2 for 370 euros. I'm going to buy 2 Sonos one/play one and a sub.

Hello!As I’ve seen more and more apps adopt Live Activities, I have begun noticing their absence for the Sonos app on iOS.  There are a few simple use cases that I think would be better achieved through a Live Activity vs having to do a heavy load of the app as is required today: Quick playback controls: play/pause/next/previous of current playing content Volume controls for the currently playing group Playing track information, including playback progress and album art. To keep things simple, I would suggest the Live Activity would only provide the above for the last selected and active (playing) speaker group from within the app. This avoids over designing the live activity to have to have a group picker which I think start to over complicate the experience.  This would make it incredibly simple to perform some of the most basic and essential functions of my Sonos experience from my device’s Lock Screen and even on my Apple Watch.  Thanks for the consideration!

I can not find any Directions and pictures for installing the Ultra Arc flush wall mount.

I’m considering replacing my connect amp so I can update my system from the s1 app. My question is what is the best option? - by best I mean bang for buck because I’m not planning on dropping g a load of cash on a load of new components. Current situation: my main listening is a connect amp running a pair of floor standing speakers - mission cirrus so decent enough but nothing special. I also have a pair of play 1s and a pair of one sl’s.Aim: I want to use the updated app so, short of splitting the system, the connect amp will need to be replaced. Connecting to the TV would be a bonus. I live in a compact open plan house so playing at high volume can disturb the rest of the family. Possible options I am considering: find a 2nd hand gen2 connect amp, connect a sub with a pair of either play1 or one sl, replace the amp with a soundbar with the option of using a pair of speakers for surround. Any recommendations please?

Hi all here.I have a Sonos Ray speaker that I’ve set up and connected to my system. I’ve also paired the remote control with the Sonos system, and it should now be able to control the volume up and down. The TV is a new LG 43" 4K LED TV (model 43UT91006LA). Although it was challenging, I managed to connect the remote control to the Sonos Ray multiple times. However, the system still isn’t able to adjust the volume. What could be causing this issue?Hope some knows what to do here.Moderator edit: Corrected Roam to Ray

I have a setup with HomePods 2 connected as a Stereo Pair to AppleTV. But I need a bit more bass.Can Sonos Sub or SubMini provide me that extra bass I’m looking for. Can they connect directly or will I need to use a bridge like Belkin SoundForm Connect using AirPlay2 to connect. As I do not have the option of Apple AirPort Express which seems to be the best solution and was suggested by many online. 

Heb voor honderden euro’s Sonos apparaten gekocht en het doet het niet !!!!!!! Alles al geprobeerd wat een troep is het heb spijt dat ik met Sonos in zee ben gegaan. Voel me aardig opgelicht en dan krijg je nog volop reclame zorg eerst dat het werkt SONOS!!!!!!!!! Moderator Edit - Translation by Google:I bought Sonos devices for hundreds of euros and they don't work!!!!!!! I've tried everything, it's a mess, and I regret choosing to work with Sonos. I feel pretty ripped off and then you get plenty of advertising, make sure it works first SONOS!!!!!!!!! 

I have 20 some Sonos devices, spread out over 3 locations. When is Sonos going to offer a full rollback to S1 ? S1 is absolutely bulletproof.  The Sonos company and their CEO need to stop all production and focus their energy completely on rebuilding this app and offering a rollback.

The modem has 4 connections one into my araknis router, 3 of the smart tv's connect direct into the other 3 ports. Running a Control4 smart home which is why I have the current setup Any tips or advice would be most welcome tia

HiI have a newly renovated garage/party room of 88 square meters where I would like to set up Sonos speakers.In addition to the mentioned square meters, there is also a very high ceiling, and the room totals 400 cubic meters. Walls and ceilings are covered with wood-concrete (Troldtekt) which is somewhat sound-absorbing.Would 4 Sonos Five speakers and 1 Sub 4 be able to fill the room with good and loud music?Thank you in advance for your answer.Best regardsNiels

I am sure all our issues has been discussed before but a search for anything around ‘volume’, ‘controls’, ‘slider’ or ‘app’ comes back with 100’s of results.Our Sonos products:- 3 Play one- 1 Sub- Newest/Latest Sonos app (iOS) S2- Sonos multi room/group (2 rooms/groups with same music but different volumes)- Spotify Premium Family account - Superior glassfiber internet (1.000 Mb up/down)- Stable WiFi 6 router and access points (Fritzbox). Many smart devices, all working correctly.We tried a Sonos cable connection and WiFi connection. The Sonos cable connection is even worse. - Good WiFi reception on all Sonos speakers- Apple iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro to operate the Sonos app. We have been using Sonos for 8 years now. At the first 7 years we were very enthusiastic about it. The last 12 months we hardly ever use Sonos anymore. The app updates we had to suffer are absolutely horrible!!!! Downgrading is impossible… 😔Most of the time we listen to music via Sonos for 15 minutes or so and

We recently bought a house that has an old speaker system built into it with approximately 10-12 speakers scattered throughout the home in the ceiling. All the wires come together at a central location with each individual speaker associated with an individual coaxial cable (1841A 2.25 ghz). The old owner took the old speaker system with them so I am unsure what the previous existing speaker system was. Is there a Sonos product that can adapt/connect to a old system like this or any product recommendations for something like this? Something that can connect 10+ ports or an adapter for those cables? Thanks in advance

Hello,I have a Sonos Arc Ultra and am looking to set up 2 rear surround sound speakers for it. Unfortunately the back of my room is difficult from a power wiring perspective so I’m thinking of using non Sonos speakers that don’t require power. I would buy an Amp to connect them into the Sonos system but just wanted to confirm if I would be able to set them up as rear surrounds under this setup? Or does it require purchasing Sonos speakers? Please let me know.Thanks,ZanderModerator Edit - Adjusted font colour.

Hvorfor fungere mine sonos 1 surroundhøjttalere kun på nogle få særligt udvalgte film og ikke på TV’et generelt?

Hey guys,I just purchased the Sonos Arc Ultra and Sub 4. I am super impressed with both of these.my question is - I wanted to activate credit towards my next purchase but can’t seem to do it with these 2 x items, is this because they simply haven’t been added yet or am I doing something wrong?  thanks in advance 

I have purchased a Sonos five and got the app. On occasion others in my home want to share their music. How can that happen?

I had to come here and let it be known. I just replaced the hdmi cable that came in the box with the arc ultra, with a high quality fiber optic HDMI e-arch cable; and the decrease in audio onset is very noticeable. I’d say the onset reduction is no less than 3/4ths (probably ~3/8ths) of a second. But significant none the less. Let it be known this took place on the the ultimate immersive set with the arc ultra.  

Will there be an update to make the volume louder while using TV SWAP on the Sonos Ace? It’s incredibly low compared to other headphones available. Please make adjustments .

I have Sonos era100 and mini sub I want to connect to my ceiling mounted EPSON CO-FH02 projector. What do I need to complete this?
