Spaces & Setups

Is it me or is Sonos integration within Homekit just sad/stupid? I can’t really do much in Homekit (except turn it on/off) with Sonos. I can’t control it or even simply see what’s playing. I can’t set an alarm in Homekit and tell Sonos what to play for the alarm (a Spotify playlist for example) so adding it to a scene is useless. It’ll just resume what was last playing in the Sonos app which is stupid. What I listen to at night is vastly different from what I want to wake up to.  Even when I Airplay to the speaker from my laptop that doesn’t even register as playing anything in Homekit. It’s almost as if it’s just a placeholder in the HK app so I don’t understand why it’s there taking up space. Am I wrong? As solid as the Sonos app is the way it works with Homekit is pretty bad. I have a fully updated Sonos One FYI and a fully updated MBP.

*** Update - its connected *** Hello,I have been experiencing continuous drop outs when trying to listen to my Sonos Roam. I read that I needed to connect to 2.4 instead of 5g. So I reset it while I temporarily disabled the 5g band.How do I now reconnect it to my WIFI? I’ve reconnected my iPhone to WIFI so it's (presumably on 2.4). Opened the SONOS app which helpfully tells me that the roam is not found and to ensure it's connected to WIFI. But that is what I am trying to do.How do I get the thing back onto my WIFI?The LED on the Roam is flashing green.

Hi all. First post after doing a lot research putting a theater sound system together. So far I will be doing an Arc and Sub. Unfortunately, due to my recroom design I will be using the Sonos 8” in-ceiling Architecture speakers and Amp for surrounds as opposed to the Era300’s. My question is in regards to the Sonos Architecture installation manual. It states that adding an additional set of in-ceiling Architectural speakers will yield 7.1. Being an actual Sonos manual, can anyone confirm if this in fact the case and see any benefit from adding an additional set of speakers in the ceiling as described in the diagram (Fig. 3)? https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/91d-oaAeSPL.pdf#:~:text=Place%20the%20left%20and%20right%20speakers%20anywhere%20from,listening%20position%20will%20help%20maximize%20the%20stereo%20soundstage.

Subject kinda sums it up. I have beam gen2 + sub mini and 2 era 100’s for surround. I am loving it. I was just curious if there is a quality difference playing spotify via my apple tv spotify app or changing from tv to music on my sonos app and listen spotify via sonos app? Thanks

This hasn't been a issue in the past but ever since I upgraded my LG C2 to new OS it is not a problem. Now with Playstation 5 not even powered on, if the HDMI is plugged in for Playstation my Sonos drops for the TV. Making me have to set up tv again. I am going upload my logs and see if I can get some help. 

Hi therewe have recently moved house and the new house has a Sonos connect, third party amp, 4 internal speakers, and 2 external speakers.. all hard wired to the amp.we have been kicked out of the login and have set it up new but now not all speakers are working, even though we haven’t touched anything apart from the buttons on the Sonos connect (so no cable issues). Previously the internal speakers were “one group” and external speakers were “one group”. I’ve googled so much and just cannot figure out how to fix this. can anyone provide some advice, please?  thanksLisa

I have read that the Brennan B3 cd player is the “only” CD player that connects seamlessly to the Sonos era 300.  Can you verify?  I just bought the ERA 300 and connects to my iphone perfectly. But i would like to play my CDs wirelessly and “cast” to my new speaker.  What CD players will work without all the hassles and complications i have been reading about on your forums.. yikes, spent $500 euros. Help!

Hi, I have a Sonos roam with a Submini and I would like to pair as rear speaker 2 Sonos Era300. It will be an overkill? Thank you.

Hi there. Can I connect the Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Sonos Ed. turntable to a conventional, non Sonos amplifier? C

Long but narrow room 17ft x9ft my seating position is 6ft away from sound bar and TV, my sofa is up against the wall so rears would be about 7or 8 inches behind me.So my set up Will be the arc and gen 3 sub and I'm thinking of getting the era 100's as rear suround, will the sound bar drown the rears out or will I still achieve suround sound. 

Hello, If all the speakers are connected in multiroom mode (TV & music), is it possible to play music on just one of them from time to time without disconnecting everything?When I watch TV, sound is played by the speakers, can I playl separately music on the one in the kitchen without disconnecting the multiform settings ? thanks for your help

Part of account greyed out

Does anyone else find editing a song queue a bit painful?Pressing edit I would have would have thought you could tap on the negative symbol on the left and delete as many tracks as you want in one go. But, you can only delete them one at a time. Swiping left also deletes but again one at a time, and also after you have swiped or tapped edit the track reappears in the queue.

Hi, we have purchased 2 Era100 and set them up outside. They are undercover and won’t get wet.But we are wondering how they will go with condensation due to cold weather? I see can they withstand humidity but nothing is mentioned about condensation. thanks 

Hello I have 2 Sonos ones & 1 Sonos SL.  I want to get a turntable with phono preamp built in and a Sonos Era 100 to play it out of.  Will the turntable play out of all my existing Sonos one/SL once it’s connected to the Era? And play records throughout the house. Or just through the Era and nothing else? Thanks very much Joe

I'm thinking about getting the Sonos Beam as I'm mostly looking to upgrade my TV speakers/current cheap soundbar (Samsung HW-N400). So I'm looking for an allrounder that I can use for streaming, standard TV program and movies.The Sonos Beam seems to match that requirements though I'm unsure if it works for my room layout. I'm living in a studio apartment (without terrace it's about 42 sqm and if I take out bathroom and corridor its probably around 34 sqm for the main room). See following link to the room layout. I just added the bed (from where I'm watching mainly from) and the TV. To the left there is the closet. To the right is the couch, desk, dinning table and in the top right is the kitchen.Distance to TV is around 3,5 meters. Wall to the left is close but wall to the right is several meters away. Does the Sonos Beam work with such a room layout? Since I would prefer not to spend more than 500€ the Arc is beyond that budget and from what I’ve read I’m not sure if it’s worth double

Hello everyone, My current set up: Sonos Arc SL, Apple TV (latest gen) and an LG OLED65CXPUA. I also have the latest HDMI cables. Issue: TV will turn off randomly at times, most notably when watching YouTube TV. Sometimes it will make a buzzing noise and the TV turn itself off and at times it will take a couple minutes to come on. Other instances it will come back on in 30 seconds. I have tried everything under the sun to try and fix this issue. Turned off CEC, turned off EARC, switched HDMI cables and even ports, power cycle, etc. I’ve come across other TV such as Sony and Samsung having similar issues even without an Apple TV. Was there a recent update that broke something with the connection with other devices? This makes watching anything almost unbearable.  I would say within an hour of watching TV the does its little reset at least twice and as much as 4 times. If anybody has a solution or a possible way to roll back a certain update please let me know. Thanks.

We have a pair of sonos speakers in the lounge paired in stereo, One & One SL, voice controlled by an Amazon Echo Dot, did try with the built in mic on the Sonos One but it didnt work that well, works great with the Echo Dot. I have just looked at buying another pair the same to use in another room and was dissapointed to see Sonos no longer sell them, i have looked everywere for some but just cant fine any for sale. There are a lot on Ebay but i am reluctant to buy from Ebay, past issues with purchases. The Era seems my only option, they are a bit pricey though, can they be paired in stereo, i see they have a in line connection, could i connect a compact disc player to them and play music in Stereo, i have a LOT of cds and being able to play them again on a decent speaker would be a bonus. i keep looking on Sonos Refurbished just in case they put any One’s or SL’s for sale. Any help or advise appreciated    

I’ve managed to aquire 3 old ZP100s which are still in working order. I have added them to my system but they aren’t showing in the upgrade pages.Are they part of the upgrade program or is there any way to check if they have already been used for this.

i am wondering if i can add a sonos sub gen3 to a setup with a sonos sub mini before i buy it.

I have 4 Play 1 speakers, I also have a projectorI would love to be able to connect the sound from the project to at least two of the Play 1 Speakers. is there any recommendation, I am willing to buy Bluetooth receiver, streamer, etc.

I want to create a new system with my Sonos Era 100 so I can move them to another room. My Sonos Era 100 both belong to other system I have in my living room. Is this possible?
