Spaces & Setups

I realize this is probably on Apple‘s end of things, but are we seriously stuck using the Sonos app to get Apple Music atmos audio? Kinda sucks we can’t cast Atmos songs to the Arc, in a similar fashion to the way that Spotify works. I know about AppleTV, but that’s not the most ideal. The Apple Music app seems to only allow Airplay. 

Hi, a have a problem with my Sonos (bridge, Connect:amp, playbar and sub) I try to Connect to new system, but only bridge was able to Connect When I try with playbar it doesn’t work :( I reset a playbar and its flashing green light, Sonos s1 app finds a playbar (after that I push the buttons) but when I click configure its shows „not connected” and it says „Sonos product not found…” I also try with lan, but the same things happends Please help 

I know Sonos says they only support 6 speakers when using Architectural series speakers, however, has anyone had success with 6 8ohm speakers connected to a Sonos Amp?  If so kindly advise.  I’m looking to setup 6 outdoor rock speakers which are 8ohm and wondering if it might work.  I’m not looking to play them super loud and already limit the volume to 80% to prevent clipping on the current Connect: Amp that is powering 4 of them today.  Thanks in advance!

from prior home, i have a gen 1 system including sonos connect amp that feeds my patio speakers.  have moved to different home and would like to make the existing high quality speakers used for ceiling into sonos capability … do i need to get another connect amp?  or is there an easier solution? i have heard bad stories about connecting non gen 1 components to gen 1 items … is that something to be concerned about??

I just realized that some time in the recent past the rooms/speakers starting switching their position in the Rooms view if you select or deselect them. It seems to me that it wants to keep the selected speakers at the top and the deselected ones at the bottom, but that is terrible behaviour. If I want to transfer from one room to another now the list gets jumbled several times, and I alwas have to rescan the list and see where the item is I am looking for.If you absolutely must have the selected one at the top, do it only after opening the view, so that the order is kept while the screen is open, and if I close it and reopen it it gets build anew, but like this is is simply confusing. For a minute I thought I was in the Spotify app, that’s how bad it was ;)

Question: Do I need “high end” wifi infrastructure for 21+ players? Background:I’ve been a Sonos advocate and avid user since the ZP-80 was launched in the UK.  I now have 21players spread across an old four-bedroomed property playing mostly streaming services and line-in from a turntable.I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve switched between wired+sonos net and wi-fi installations.  Neither has been particularly stable with players regularly disappearing, playback dropping out, long pauses adding players to groups etc.A few years ago I settled on a wi-fi setup as I’d rolled out a BT Whole Home wi-fi extender setup and had good wi-fi coverage in every room and a large chunk of the garden.  Certainly everywhere I have a Sonos player.  (Also, it’s not practical to wire more than two Sonos players without the kind of upheaval I’m not really up for).All players report “Good” or “Excellent” wifi connectivity in the Sonos app.  The BT Wi-Fi discs are connected to a TP-Link Archer VR280

Hi,I’m looking at upgrading to the Era 300s for rear surrounds. I know that currently the center driver is disabled when used in this configuration.However, I spent quite awhile on the phone with Sonos support in the weeks after the Era launch trying to understand how the remainder of the drivers work (as surrounds) with various content. What I was told by Sonos support is starkly different from what I’m seeing posted on places like Sonos sub on Reddit.As a quick fact, some 5.1 content is mastered as 2Front 1Center 2Surround (side) LFE while others choose 2Front 1Center 2Rear LFE. This was the breakdown Sonos support gave as to how each audio format should be handled by the Era 300 (as rear surrounds): * Stereo content should be spread across the entire stereo field. So the center driver on the soundbar will be playing the centermost content on the spectrum while the drivers on the L (so all the drivers on the left of the soundbar plus the dual drivers inside & outside on the Era 3

I’ve got a rather old Sonos setup and it’s never really worked with audio sync, neither on my old or new TV.Setup:PlaybaseSubTwo * Sonos one’sLG OLED 65WX9LAI have tried fixing it so many times, but there appears no setting anywhere that can change it. I’ve read so many articles about it, but haven’t seen one that actually fixes the issue.Anyone had a similar problem and managed to fix it?  

Bonjour,Pour allonger la durée de vie de la batterie du SONOS Move, est-ce une bonne idée de le brancher sur une prise connectée qui ne le charge que 6 heures par jour?  Ou 6 heures tous les deux jours? Sachant que je ne m’en sers hors de sa base qu’une heure par jour environ.

I bought my first SONOS years ago, the S1. Absolutely love the quality, it exceeds many in the market.Found the app to be extremely inconvenient, frustrating, and unnecessarily complicated. Years after years I bought more of your product, I waited and waited for you to eventually improve your UX and UI, STILL AS FRUSTRATING AS THE FIRST DAY I BOUGHT IT -ALMOST A DECADE AGO. Setting it up today broke me and was a nightmare, please do something. All due respect to SONOS lovers, I respect you, but I need to be honest otherwise I would die with these words in my mouth. Please don’t try to educate me trust me I tried, I have been using it for years, and still is furious. To anyone in Sonos support, I beg of you, please stop it with the playlist only system for tracks. I just want to play my songs in library randomly. I had to create the playlist containing all my songs from the Apple Music library solely for your app. It was 10,000+ songs that I ticked by hand. You are making me so depresse

My Samsung frame TV’s can pop up a video alert on my TV when my Ring Pro Doorbell or Arlo Security cameras detect motion.  I received a motion notification on-screen along with the triggered camera’s video stream.  This works perfectly until I connect a Sonos ARC sound bar.  When I use the sound bar I get the motion notification on screen but no video from the camera appears.  If I go through the menus and trigger the cameras I can see the video on the TV but it will not display the video stream when using the Sonos ARC sound bars.  It does work if I use a Samsung sound bar.  Any ideas how to rectify this issue.  I’d hate to throw out 3 Sonos ARC sound bars due to this issue.

I have a brand new Sonos Amp that I just set up to control a set of outdoor speakers.  Everything is working great except that I cannot change the Sonos amp volume using Siri voice control.  I have the Amp added to HomeKit and it is listed as an AirPlay option.  Should I set the Sonos amp volume to a midpoint level and then use the volume option in say Apple Music to adjust the volume being said from the iPhone or is there a better way?Thanks,  

I am building a covered patio.  I want to use the Sonos Five.  Can the Five be wall mounted?  Is it also recommended to be used in this manner?  The overview states it is humanity proof.  The unit will be high up on the wall near the ceiling an not exposed to the elements - just humidity and heat.   Please advise.

Recently the sound from my Sonos Arc system sounds worse. Not as detailed and balanced as before. I feel that when there's a busy scene a lot of the sounds in the scene are quieter and a lot are just dropped. Initially I thought it was the specific content but it happens all the time.  I'm not sure why this has happened, no changes were made to settings or anything like that.  System is mainly used for TV audio.

I have made a simple automation with Apple Home on iPhone to start music when I got home. I have an Apple TV to manage Apple Home. It has worked at first attempt and also I made an interesting discover.Basically the music is played from the Apple TV and airplayed to my Beam and One, but the Apple TV stays off (at least: the led light is off). also the TV has not been turned on.So it seems that the Apple TV is capable of airplaying music without turning on the TV, but only with an automation. would be nice to use this features also from Apple Music, this would be a very good alternative to Sonos App, because basically your smartphone is not streaming anything, just link with the Sonos app

Thinking of replacing my old stereo setup that sits next to my tv. The TV is a Vizio that does not have a soundbar. Don’t really need surround sound because we really don’t watch those type of shows. It would be nice to have a better speaker setup for the tv to help clarify sound (announcers during football for example). I would also like to replace the stereo because I am digitizing my vinyl to load onto iTunes.I have a One SL that I’m using in the kitchen and am setting up our various music services and my own iTunes library. Now, I want to set up the living room.So, would it be better to have a Beam with maybe a sub mini or go with two One SL’s (or Era 100’s, although I don’t need the voice control) and a sub mini. I realize that I give up connecting the tv if I don’t do the soundbar. However, am I giving up the music sound quality if I do go with Beam over two speakers and a sub.Finally, the Five is a wonderful sounding speaker, but I think it is overkill in my 13x19 living room. I

Have had two ROAMS for about 2-years. Nothing but issues keeping them connected to WI-FI and Grouped.  Utter garbage!!!  Honestly the worst purchase I have ever made. What a waste of money.  Support system is about as useful as the speakers.

Anyone experiencing update error recently on their sonos product? seems like various discussions about this issue? maybe on their software?

Dear Sonos,It's time to support al DTS formats. DTS support is returning to TVs, for example with the lg g3 en c3. Watching 4k movies on Blu Ray is just amazing with the Sonos surround set and Dolby Atmos (arc+era300+sub). But many of the best films, like the Christopher Nolan films, use DTS and not dolby. So please, update the system:). 

I'm considering upgrade pair of One's to 100's and Sonos should offer this plastic base separately because rest of stand is the same and I would to use them with new speakers. I know that it’s not in their interest but sometimes be OK worth more. 

I have 2 sonos systems;  one S1 and one S2. I would like to copy playlists etc from one to the other.

Hi I have 2 Sonos One SL speakers, A Sonos Sub and a Sonos Play Bar set up as a 5.1 surround sound system. I have the two Sonos One SL speakers set up as rear surrounds. In general it's pretty good. But what is driving me a little nuts is that there is a definite bias on the right rear speaker (it's too loud and the left rear speaker is too quiet). What I need to be able to do is to manually adjust the balance, but for the life of me I can't find anywhere in the app, either on my phone, or on my laptop I can do this? I borrowed a neighbours iPhone to do the initial set up with TruePlay. But although the system definitely sounds better after doing this, I still need to be able to make some small manual adjustments, as I doubt TruPlay will be able to get this 100% right. I've repeated the process a few times and each time I get the same results. It seems a fundamental requirement to be able to allow customers the ability to fine tune their own EQ settings. If I disable TruePlay, the syst

I understand the first play5 is Sonos S1 compatible only. My question is how do you compare its sound quality (speaker power) to some of the newer speakers.  Is it equal to a Sonos Era 100?  Sonos Move?  Sonos beam Gen 1? I’m assuming it sounds better than the play 1 & play 3 but not as good as the newer Sonos 5.  Curious on what people's thoughts are. Considering getting one or two for my work office space and using it there away from my home.  Thanks!

Hey, I upgraded to ios17 beta last night and now cannot do trueplay. I borrowed my wife’s phone which has iOS 15.just a heads up

I am absolutely shocked after spending £1500 on SONOS home cinema speakers to find that unless you own an Apple Iphone or Ipad you cannot calibrate the system using their Trueplay. After reaching out to Sonos and being told “Borrow one from a friend” are you being serious?How about you make your product calibrate without needing a £600 Apple Product?Because I am an Android user, as well as all my friends, my system is technically restricted on its performance. I would love to know the legality of this. Restricting a products performance dependant on what 3rd party companies technology you own?Maybe SONOS can send a rep to my house, so I can borrow their APPLE device to calibrate Trueplay, to make their product work as intended. Shocking business practice. 😤
