Spaces & Setups

Hi everyone,Here is my setup Playbar - Sub - 2x Play:1Here is my issue :I run Trueplay calibration every goes well and calibration complete.  I can enjoy the sound of my TV calibrated as long as home theater does not automatically switch off.  Once I switch back on the TV, sound is extremely low (I have to put it to 50% to ear any sound) and stutters very badly (nothing can be understand from a dialog for example). If I reboot my Playbar during movie is playing, sound will come back but if I press “pause” or switch off and back on the TV, same issue appears.    The only fix is to erase Trueplay calibration and reboot the system.   I search everywhere online and nobody seems to have a similar issue. It’s a shame as Trueplay really improved the surrounding on my system!Does anyone have an idea please? Thanks 

The Sonos controller for Mac OS has a major memory leak. I first reported this to Sonos several years ago. Sent them all the data, etc. Others have done the same. This is not something new and not something they’re unaware of. Here’s an old closed thread on the topic.Meanwhile, here we are, years later, and it still leaks huge amounts of memory. When first loaded, it uses a bit less than 150MB. After running for a long period of time, I’ve seen the memory footprint as high as more than 9GB!  That’s absurd.  Why doesn’t Sonos address this? Probably because the average consumer doesn’t know (or care) what a memory leak is, as long as it doesn’t crash their machine. They don’t realize that the ever-increasing memory footprint gradually slows their machine down with more and more swapping. C’mon, Sonos. Fix this.

Yo compre sonos para escuchar musica solo eso, entienden, y si no estas suscrito a Sonos music no puedes escuchar música en  Apple Music ,  Voy a hacer basura estos altavoces , y cuando apple tenga los suyos los compro , eso es lo que quieren, son una basura, no vuelvo a comprar en Sonos, por cierto invertí en sonos 10000 dólares y perdí 70 por cierto y ahora esto, menos mal que no seguir perdiendo, por que vendí las acciones , pero me quede con la mierda los altavoces.

I’d like to add occasional music capability to a fairly large (450 sq ft) room, 15’ x 30’. It would likely only be occasionally used. Does anyone have any thoughts on a Playbar vs. a pair of Play 3 speakers connected in stereo?(We have a pair of connected Play 5’s in a smaller room that are used daily, the primarily listening space, and a Playbar connected to a television in a medium sized room that’s used for both music and the TV.)Thank you!

Can Peloton bike stream through Sonos (wifi) One SL or do i need to hardwire?

I have a Sonos ARC Soundbar connected to an LG OLED65C2PSC TV and after several months of trying I am still unable to successfully establish a connection that allows the LG Magic Remote to control volume and mute.I can get sound through the Sonos when connected to the TV’s HDMI2 (ARC) port but no remote control functionality.If I use the Optical->HDMI converter supplied by Sonos and connect the Soundbar that way I can get full remote functionality, and the Sonos App completes the connection process without any errors. Perfect but I want full HDMI so I can get the Atmos channels.I have tried every TV setting on this blessed earth but the Sonos App always fails during the process of trying to link to the TV when connected to HDMI2(ARC).For completeness yes I have set…TV eARC to On TV Audio Stream to passthroughDuring these failed attempts to connect I have observed the following…If the TV audio out is already set to HDMI2 it will sometimes switch to TV speaker when the Sonos App tries

Hi everyone, In a local shop I've found a new Sonos Arc with a 30% discount, but I bought the Beam Gen 2 in January... Do you think is possible that Sonos releases an Arc Gen 2 in this year? Or any equivalent?

Thought I'd play some vinyl this evening on my turntable which is hooked up to a pair of Fives. I was playing with the line in level and found I can actually have it set to the lowest - level 1, and still get decent sound volume through the Fives. Is it better to have it set as low as possible or doesn't it really make a difference to the sound quality? What do others have theirs set to? 

Hello EveryoneI know I broached this subject early on during the initial release of the Era 300 series, so please forgive any redundancy. Let’s begin...IMO, the Five as a single speaker or in stereo pair is better than the Era 300 in the same configurations; but not by much. I was able to do an extensive A/B comparison in the same room with my Five’s and Era 300’s. The Era 300’s have since been moved to another room.My music preference is smooth jazz as I prefer instruments for making comparisons versus having vocals disrupt (color) the mid-range. The music source was SiriusXM Watercolors and Apple Music downloads.Room dimensions19 ft Long 13 ft Wide 8 ft High (slightly textured ceiling and hardwood floors)Speaker Distances and Separation3 ft from front wall (single and stereo pair) 10 ft Listening distance from speaker position (single and stereo pair) 6.5 ft from left and right wall spacing for single speaker  3 ft from left wall and right wall spacing for stereo pair (7 ft separatio

Hello everyone,I own a beam gen 2 + 1 Era 300 and i was a bit confused when i realized i could not use a single Era 300 to pair it with my beam gen 2 as a surround but needed two of them.Anyways, now i am wondering if i should better go for another era 300 to create a home cinema with my beam gen 2. As i do everything with it. Home cinema, music, video games.OrTo sell my era 300 and get a pair of Era 100 instead ?so beam gen 2 + a pair of Era 100.knowing that my living room is quite small ( 291 square feet ).Is it not too much to have a beam gen 2 and two era 300 for this kind of room size ?Last question: Do i still get the dolby atmos feature if i am pairing two era 100 with a beam gen 2 when watching movies, as the era 100 are not dolby atmos ? And when playing apple music spatial audio? Thank you very much ! 🙏 Max 

I have 2 networks at home.  One for the family and one for my business.  I have a MyCloud EX2 Ultra Nas in my office and have some music that I would like to play in my home on the family network.  I want to add the \music folder to my Sonos music library but I’m not sure on how to do it.   I know that in order to stream from the nas when connected to the family wifi network, I need to do some kind of port forwarding on the office router but not sure what settings to use.Any help would be appreciated.

Have 4 Sonos Amps stacked in a closed cabinet. The sound volume on one of the amps keep going back down each time I tried to increase it. Checked the amps and all were too hot to touch or handle. The amp that I was trying to increase the volume had a red  blinking light. Opened the doors of the cabinet and after a while the amps cooled down and the red light stopped blinking. Is this normal? If so why has Sonos not documented this to the consumer?

What is the best value speakers to pair with the Sonos Beam?

Roughly a little more than a year ago I noticed that select tracks from compilations ignored my metadata and opted to treat them as a single track.To give more detail. I am an avid music collector and have many albums that are not genuinely a compilation. I have “fixed” metadata to treat the album as a single collection of tracks under a single “artist” name. In some cases these are scores/soundtracks that I wish to keep as the movie title as the “album artist” name and leaving each track as the artist. Also there are times were a guest artist is featured on the artist name where I remove the guest artist and add their name to the track title.I am one who cares more about keeping the album track integrity over being able to single out an track’s artist. When building playlists by artists, I like to keep a simple and not have to adjust parameters to comb through “artist feat, another artist”; especially when they are merely a guest vocalist on a single track.All was good, and I was able

Hi guys, I’m having a big question so I expect that someone can help me to resolve this, recently I acquired one Era 300 and I’ve played some content with my Apple TV, and is really cool, but now im planning to upgrade my setup with one bar to stream from my Xbox with games in Dolby Atmos , (beam or arc) but Im not sure if I need to acquire another 300 or  upgrade later , my really question is if I can buy the bar and try to have a half setup with one 300 and the bar or it’s necessary to acquire the second 300, because atm I just have the cash to acquire one of them, thanks ppl

So I have Plex setup on a NAS with one Server with 3 Managed accounts, each account has their own playlists. Plex doesn’t allow sharing of playlists between accounts. When I add the Plex App to Sonos it lets me see all the playlists for the Plex Admin account but there’s no way to switch to any of the other Plex accounts. When using the Plex app on a mobile device you can switch between the different Managed Accounts but that has no impact when using the Plex Sonos app. Any ideas?

I’ve recently realized that Sonos is not updating my iTunes playlist when I “Update Music Library”. New songs are added, but no changes to the Imported Playlists. I know there’s the 65K limit, and I know that there WAS a trick to remove iTunes playlists from the indexing if you added a “- “ to the beginning of the playlist name. Is this still true? 

Forgive me, I am a week in to owning my first Sonos product, the arc soundbar.  When I originally set it up, I was able to use the Spotify android app to connect to the arc and play music.  I do not have a premium subscription to Spotify.  Today, I cannot connect and play music to the arc through either the Spotify android app or by launching Spotify through the Sonos app.When Spotify first launches, you can connect to the arc but no sound will play.  If you fallback to the device you are using, Spotify will play music just fine.  When you then attempt to connect to the arc, the Spotify app will tell you that a premium subscription is needed to use this feature.So my question is - has this changed recently?  A week ago everything was great.  Today I need a premium sub to just play music to a speaker over wifi.  This seems backwards in the extreme and a warning to everyone over DRM and subscription services.  If I buy a network speaker I would expect to be able to stream music to it ove

Hi everyone i currently one a play 5 and play 3 and will probably be buying a Sonos sound bar very shortly but my question is ….id like to buy a radio or small receiver (?) nothing fancy, which would work with my current sonos speakers . Any suggestions to point me in the right direction?thank you in advance best

Basically as the title says, I’m trying to play shared audio in two rooms (these are in ceiling wired speakers) from a home theater receiver. This setup works well when I play streaming music through the Sonos app. But if I want to use a service like YouTube TV, I’ve only found success by directly connecting to the TV and using its own apps (thereby bypassing my media player and my receiver).  Is this really the only way to do this? It feels like I’m  90% of the way there and a little silly that the app is limiting this so hard. 

I'm configuring my home network and want to add speakers to different rooms. I'm considering using CastleOS as my controller software because I currently have a Ring doorbell and Nest thermostat and am interested in the Sonos speaker options.I know I can control the Sonos speakers by talking to them, and I can control the speakers through CastleOS, but can I control CastleOS (or another controller software like Home Assistant) by talking to the speakers, or are the onboard mics only capable of controlling the speakers?I'm looking for alternatives to buying a few Kinects to add voice commands to my home's CastleOS setup, and these Sonos speakers appear to be ideal in giving me multi-room voice recognition while also filling the sound system role, but only if they also let me give CastleOS commands, such as turning light switches on/off or setting the temperature.Thank You In Advance, 

On the UK IKEA website the Symfonisk controller is showing ‘last chance to buy’ Perhaps their making an updated version to go with their new hub?

Hi Sonos team,The only way I found to play podcasts with my current service suscriptions is throught TuneIn, which works fine.However, when setting an alarm on my Sonos system, in the source/alarm selection, TuneIn shows/podcasts can be used, but when selecting a specific podcast for the alarm, the “recent episodes” appears, and only a specific existing episode can be selected. This is nice but it feels like a limitation considering the dynamic nature of RSS feeds and their usage.Could there be an option that would select the LATEST episode of a given podcast, and therefore would play dynamically the most recent one even if it hasn’t been published when the alarm was set?Perhaps this can be implemented with another service provider than TuneIn but the limitation seems to be “by design” in the Sonos alarm source selection (one specific song, one specific playlist, one specific episode...)I saw such a request from 3 years ago in the archives but couldn’t spot a suggested solution. Thanks

At the moment I have to hold the power button down for a few seconds to power it off. Sometimes this doesn’t work and although I don’t let go of the button it thinks I have. So today it took 5 attempts before the speaker powered down.I don’t use the feature where it will shut itself off and go into sleep after being idle for a while because, annoyingly for my use case, it powers itself back up again when I open the Sonos app. This is not what I require because the Roam is only used occassionally in the bathroom. If there was an option to not do this then I would use this method.Given the above, I would like to be able to power off completely using either the app or a voice command. I know I probably need to create a request but I doubt they will do anything if only one person requires it!! 

My setup is the following. Xbox series x connected to tv (tcl c935).  Sonos arc to earc on tv. 2 Era100 speakers as surround rear left nd right. My problem is, when choosing my sound output on tv to arc I get sound delay, most noticeable when playing fps. When I change my sound output on my tv to pass through the sound from my rear speakers chopps off the sound (silence for 3 ms) here and there. Can someone here explain why and what I should do to get rid of these annoying problems. Best regards
