Spaces & Setups

Would love to add my playlists to the Sonos favorites. There’s no way to easily pull up my favorites once they have moved out of the “Recently Played” section or use automation to play a default playlist. It takes digging into several menus to get back to my perferred playlist. 

After updating to 15.5, the arc and sub have lost their punch and actually are being overpowered by the rear 300s. Anyone else experiencing this?

Have 6 Sonos in ceiling speakers with Sonos amp. Bringing amp down so it doesn’t cook in my attic, using wall plate to connect. Wiring in parallel per Sonos guide, can I just use a 4 binding post (2 pair) wall plate and consolidate in the attic combining 3 speakers per banana clip? Or is it better to have a 12 binding post (6 pair) wall plate and then consolidate LR ± in the Sonos amp. Would prefer to do the first as the mess will be on the other side of the wall vs in my cabinet and visible. TIA

Since my Sonos app was updated to version 14.18.2 I get constant the following notification:Sonos: Stopping the service may interrupt playback notifications I can disable it if I uncheck the Background Services Notification, but this should not be the solution…Samsung S21 Ultra running Android 13 

Hi I’m a little bit of a novice when it comes to audio tech.  I have a Sony PS LX310BT bluetooth turntable, an Arc and two One SL’s. What do I need to pair and integrate the turntable with my Sonos system?

Does anyone know when v11.9 was released on sonos s1?.. there is a bug with this version I discovered and am wondering when 11.9 came out… many thanks in advance 

https://developer.sonos.com is down, complains about a DNS issue. In the USA if that matters.

Since Sonos is having so many problems, playing Apple Music. Is there a quality difference between playing airplay or Sonos app? Does it sound better coming through the Sonos app versus straight from airplay?

I have had a Sonos Roam for a little over a year and a half now… It’s without a doubt the most dysfunctional, glitchy, defective speaker I have ever used… I have multiple HomePods and HomePod minis and several Sonos products that work flawlessly but the Roam stutters across multiple Wi-Fi networks and often has difficulty connecting to Bluetooth…but the biggest problem is the transition from one to the other.  I have reset the device literally dozens of times and had to forget and re establish the Bluetooth connection and it will work for a day or two and crap out again. This is clearly a well-known problem and I have tried a multitude of fixes that I have researched on these forums and nothing works. It  simply is not worth the trouble. 

I’m considering getting a half decent CD player - perhaps a Marantz CD6007.  Highly rated, decent DAC, looks good - what’s not to like.  My only speakers are my Sonos - Five / Play:5 in a fairly inaccessible location in the kitchen, Beam 2 / Sub / 2 x Symfonysk lights as my TV surround in the living room, and 1’s dotted around the house.What’s the best way to connect the CD player?  Logically the answer is the Port, but I see people say a Five is “just as good” an option.  it’s just mines are high up and  not necessarily in the right room to listen or run a 3.5mm cable to!At some point I’d perhaps consider Era 300’s for the living room, though (and this is tragic) the fact the Symfonisk’s are decent side lights is actually one of the draws to keeping the Symfonisks, and I’d need new lights to replace them, and have to figure out how to fit both Era’s and replacement lights on to very small tables.  As I said, tragic, first world, stupid problems! 🤣   What do you think my best option i

I have the Era 300 which I LOVE! But I would love it even more if the Sonos controller app on the Mac supported displaying the [Dolby Atmos] Indicator Logo when playing Dolby Atmos tracks from Apple Music.

Ever since I upgraded to the Sonos S1 iOS app a few years ago, I’ve been having connection issues. Here’s what’s happening: I have a Sonos Connect:Amp. The amp is in a basement cabinet with router and cable modem. I have 2 exterior rock speakers that are hard-wired directly into the amp. The amp is connected via Ethernet to a small hub that’s connected to the WiFi router right next to the unit. The Sonos LAN settings are configured for Ethernet (says WM:0) in About My System. I have 2 WiFi networks. Call them Primary and Secondary. The reason for the Secondary will be explained below. The Primary WiFi network is an Apple AirPort Extreme (located on 3rd floor) with AirPort Express repeaters at different spots around the home (garage, basement and pool cabana, all Ethernet wired). I have full strength no matter where I am. It’s been rock solid for years. Secondary WiFi is actually the cableco provided router with a WiFi option that I have turned on. Here’s the Sonos issue: While connecte

Why my music can't play he said Song Not Encoded Correctly.. Let me know how to fix thankyou

Did Sonos just increase price across its product line on June 22, 2023 without any notice? I was looking at Play 5s and Outdoor Speakers and while still researching they both went up by $50 each from one day to the next. What’s going on, it’s the same product and no a newer release so why the price increase. 

Hello all!I currently have an old "all in one" home cinema system in the Sony bdv-N590 (5.1) and was wondering if somebody else out there has had a similar upgrade experience to a Sonos surround package? My current system stands up pretty well to be honest both as tv sound and music (I've moved a few 1ns and era 300 into the living room to compare and simply put, 5 speakers are better than 1 (or 2)). I'm looking to upgrade because my system lacks the newer encodings, I always find speech a bit muffled and I also have a burning desire to Sonos-fy everything!! My only reluctance is whether the upgrade is worth it or should I wait one more generation (plus the electrician costs to get electrical sockets installed behind the rear 300s.... :s).Any input would be appreciated 👍 

I am a long-time Sonos user and I recently bought a Sonos Roam. I am disappointed that the basic thing about having a dual orientation USB-C charging port was not implemented: the device charges only if a USB-C to USB-C cable is plugged in on the Roam’s end in one orientation, but not the other. I tried a few cables and a few chargers and concluded that it was the Sonos Roam’s fault. Considering that Sonos is a premium brand, I wonder why this wasn’t implemented.Sure, the included USB-A to USB-C cable works both ways, but the world is moving towards USB-C only, so this design is a missed opportunity.

Large living room (20X23), 12 foot ceilings.  Seeking whether to split up 2 Sonos 1 across room with Sub Gen 3 in same planeOR2 Sonos 5 across room in stereo mode.For hosting parties, music, and potentially setting up to a mounted TV later.Listen to alternative, higher pitch tunes, along with classic rock.  Will listen and low AND high volumes as well. Thank you!

Really irritating that it seems only a Sonos line in adapter will work with my new Era 300  (how very Apple!) but absolutely infuriating that they don’t have any in stock and I can’t find them anywhere. How do I get hold of one, please? 

My ARC tends to rob the microphone over my Amazon Dot in a nearby room. So, when the ARC Alexa responds, it really can’t be heard from the other room where the Alexa wake request was issued.is there a way to make the microphone less sensitive on the Arc? I don’t want to disable it entirely as I do use the functionality when in that room, but want it to play well with my Amazon Echo and dots in other rooms.

I have a turntable and my own speakers what device do i need.  No TV no gaming.

Hi allI am seriously considering buying the Arc, sub gen3 and 2 era3 speakers for a dolby atmos system. The only think keeping me from pushing the buy button is the price. At over £2500 it's not cheap. Has anyone on here bought these to make a atmos system, if so is it worth the outlay. Many thanks

Guys, it is time: TIME for you to get with it and offer some Sonos Widgets for your iOS and MacOS apps. Also, I should be able to control my Sonos system with my Apple Watch. The iOS and Mac apps are getting pretty long in the tooth and both need some love. Widgets would go a long way in both scenarios.If you need some help, I suggest you just go ahead and offer a cartoon bag of money to these projects and bring them in-house:Menu Bar Controller for Sonos:https://apps.apple.com/us/app/menu-bar-controller-for-sonos/id1357379892?mt=12Lyd:https://apps.apple.com/us/app/id1451243766Good luck!
