Spaces & Setups

The app works so bad it is unbelievable.How can a major company get away with this?The Apple music so called integration works really really bad! Any plans for a new ?

Hello community  I’m moving to a new house and planning to upgrade my sound system maybe to a somos 5.1.2 on my living room. The issue I’m facing i use a onkyo receiver 656 and many inputs connected to it and tv and projector on the output. With somos the sound bar just have one hdmi and I need to both tv and projectors working. I’ve spend sometime doing research but couldn’t find anything simple to. Does anyone has the same problem or have the solution for it?thanks in advance for any help.

I got a Beam + 2 One SLs to hook up to my JVC TV.The system sounds great but it simply would not wake up when the TV was switched on.  All the HDMI CEC and TV Autoplay settings were correct etc.  Only thing I could do to get it awake was reboot the TV each time (or unplug / replug the HDMI cable).  Not ideal.But I think I’ve found a fix.Also attached to the TV (by HDMI) is a Sky Q box and an old DVD player (never used but using an HDMI port all the same) so, in the name of experimenting, I moved the Sky box from HDMI1 to HDMI3 (my eARC port is HDMI2 which obviously is where the Sonos is patched) and unplugged the DVD player completely.And now the Sonos system springs to life when I take the TV off standby.

My neighbor can connect to my Sonos speaker, intermittently. How can I prevent this?

Want to know where I should focus my energy to get lossless / hi res supported on Sonos.  Is it Sonos that hasn’t had time to implement, doesn’t plan to etc, or is it Apple that is restricting access to the higher quality streams.Support should be provided through the S2 App.

We are nearing the end of construction for our new restaurant and I wanted to get some help on what to order. It will be one unit, about 3,000 square feet, divided into two units. There will also be a small outdoor patio.We are thinking to do 2 indoor speakers inside the larger part of the restaurant, and 1 on the smaller side, with two on the patio. We have 6 Sonos SL at our other restaurant (4 inside and 2 on patio) with a boost, and we have had a lot of issues with them. Speakers cut out and resetting them is so difficult. The boost isn't in a space that is provides much help. This new location will have more flexibility on what we get and where to put things. So my question is: What speakers would work best in this space, if we wanted one speaker to be separate from the other 4, and to avoid frequency/bluetooth issues, that require climbing up on a ladder and resetting each speaker and pairing and all that nonsense? 

Hi I'm a long time Sonos user with Arc, Sub, Play 1 surrounds, move roam, Play3 x 2, 3 x Play 5 and  Boost in general my system was stable until just before Christmas when I started to experience track skipping, speaker loss etc.Using the support matrix I discovered that ALL my Sonos items were experiencing high ODFM ANI numbers i.e. wifi interference they were all Red!After much messing about I realized that the issues only occured after sunset which is when I'd configured my Phillips Hue system to perform a Christmas lights show, in doing this I'd used dynamic scenes where the lights constantly change colour. The Hue hub constantly sends instructions to the lamps which all rebroadcast in a mesh system similar to Sonos (ZigBee rather than  Wifi B or G) .Hue uses different channels 25 in my case and usually a very short ZigBee transmission (switch on, at x brightness and y colour) which causes no problems. Dynamic colour changing of 20 or so lamps appears to flood the network, possibly

I have BEAM connected to a SONY Bravia KJ-49X9500H via HDMI.There is no problem with normal TV programs, commercials, movies, Amazon Prime Video, etc., but only during NHK news the audio stops working.I have tried various settings on the TV, but there is no improvement. Please tell me how to set this up.

My Sonos is not playing songs from certain folders on my Nas drive. These were playing fine until maybe a couple of weeks ago. I have tried adding the folders back in using the Music Library, which worked last week, but won't work now. Any ideas?

I’m debating replacing the Play 3 in the living room, which sits under the TV, with a Ray, for the obvious benefit of playing TV audio through it. Right now, the Play 3 just used for music and NPR and I don’t want to downgrade that capability. There’s only a slim chance of adding surrounds. (I know it sounds weird, but because of the house layout and available walls, the big TV with the beam is in a bedroom, and the living room TV is an afterthought.)

Hi guys!My first post here, so be gentle 😅I currently have one Sonos room with Beam/Submini/Ones, but am looking to get sound for another roomWhen looking at the prices now, the cost of two used, but good condition, Play5(gen2) is almost exactly the same as a new Five, here in Norway. What do you guys think I should go for? Can I expect the Play5s to lose its compatibility with S2 for example in the future?Thanks! 

Must say I'm disappointed that several years after launching Sonos Radio HD, Australia still doesn't have it. Somewhat embarrassing infact that I literally just heard a Sonos Radio HD ad between songs on the Hit List station. You'd think they'd restrict that ad to only countries where such a service is available.  Any word on if they actually plan to roll this service out to beyond a small handful of countries? 

I would buy the port if it had a digital HD tuner built in and could whole stream content to other devices on the sonos echo system. 

I'm trying to setup Siri for my Sonos system.I found the instructions on the Sonos site, so went into the Home app on my iPhone and went to add an accessory.  However, I can't find an option to add without scanning the product code.Well, I did somehow find the option once.  It displayed a list containing my Sonos speakers.  I selected one of them and it told me I needed a HomePod, which I don't have.I wasn't totally certain I'd picked the right thing, but now I can't find the option anywhere.I'm using iOS 16.2, and to make things more exciting I have VoiceOver enabled.Any ideas? 

Just setting up my new Sonos Roam that I bought for my daughter. I had wanted it so the she could play her music in her room in the evening without having to have her tablet. In trying to get it to work I find that it is extremely poor at finding any specific piece of music. It does not connect to Sonos playlists so cannot ask for a specific playlist. It does not connect to Spotify - which is probably about the most popular music service known to man or woman.It connects to Amazon Music - but cannot find “The Nutcracker” even though there are several albums of this name if I search for it.I say “Hey Sonos play radio four”. I get Dua Lipa - Hit List on Sonos Radio. I say “Hey Sonos play the song Borderline” - “Sorry I can’t find the song Borderline”.I say “Hey Sonos play the song Hotel California” - “Sorry I can’t find the song Hotel California”.Having tried several songs I have yet to find one that it can find.I would not recommend this to anybody in its current state. 

I have the same issue a number of people have complained about many years ago but I can’t see a resolution to what seems like a very basic function of any system.I have a lot of music (tens of hours) in a playlist and would like to play through it all without repetition. However when switching to other inputs e.g. the TV, when I return it does not remember where it left off so you can only re-shuffle the queue or try and manually remember the last song, scroll through the list, find it and start from there which is not easy if you have 1000’s of songs.This has been mentioned by many others but no solution is offered. Surely it is a basic function of any music system to resume from the last played song in a playlist so assume there must be a way otherwise why would anybody who loves music buy this system?Threads on the same subject that are many years old and no solution has been offered 

Hi alli just wanted to report my SONOS ARC literally makes a BOOM (explosion noise) during TV playback and then sounds stop. This never happened before.  Only changing point is my system was unplugged from electricity for about a week while I was on trip, I came back today and turn my system on and after some tv playback that strange noise appears. See diagnostics number: 673888573 

I’ve seen this topic before, but have never really seen any resolution.  I have had my system for about a year, and almost every day I have to reset it.  I have the Arc and two One SL for surrounds.  The Surrounds disconnect on a daily basis.  Now the sub has started doing it as well, and sometimes even the arc.  I will open the app and it can’t find anything in my system.  I unplug everything, and then it reconnects like nothing ever happened.  But it happens every day, and I can’t figure out how to fix it.  Does anyone know?  Thanks!

Hi All. Here is my dilemma. I need to get my Connect my Sonos Arc from My Sony UBP 7000 Blu Ray player and From My Sony Blu Ray Player to my Optoma UHD35 for watching 3D Movies. Is HDFury Arcana my only option? 

Hi all. Has anyone got LPCM from DTS blu-rays using these pieces? I can get Dolby TrueHD and Atmos, but when I play a DTS disc all I get is “surround pcm.” I know the LG can’t play DTS, but I thought I’d be able to get 5.1 LPCM. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

I used to have all my Sonos devices assigned to each room they lived in on the iOS Home App. I noticed after iOS updated devices showed up as “not supported” suddenly. I thought removing a re-adding them might correct the issue but any devices I removed will not re-add and error out with an AirPlay error pop-up “unable to connect to ‘speaker name’”  anyone experience this and figure out how to resolve it?  I tried resetting one of the Sonos devices back to factory defaults then attempting to add to the Home app but no success… thanks.  

I’m ignorant when it comes to sound and may have purchased the wrong thing. I have a Fluance turn table that does not have a built in preamp. I also have a Yamaha receiver is used to use to play it with in wired non-Sonos speakers. I now have two Sonos Ones I’d like to use for the turntable. Do I have the right equipment? I’ve tried to search for the right cord configuration and I cannot get it to work. Any guidance is greatly appreciated. Thanks!the back of the Yamaha is as follows.   

I realise there are previous threads about this, but I can’t find one which has not been closed for further comments, so I’m having to create a new thread to add my voice.Feature request Please enable Sonos Roams to act as rear surround speakers in a home theatre setup (or enable this on a future generation of the product if the current gen does not include necessary internal hardware).Why?1. Not everyone wants rear surrounds installed all the time. I only occasionally watch a movie where I want surrounds. It would be much easier for me to repurpose Sonos Roam’s from elsewhere in the house to serve as temporary surrounds for a few hours than it would with any other Sonos speaker. Furthermore, other companies seem to think there is a market for customers who want temporary battery powered surround speakers - e.g. see Philips Fidelio 7.1.2 and JBL Bar 5.1 / 9.1 / 800 / 1000. 2. Even for those who want surrounds installed all the time, I am expect there are some who would prefer to use sp

Bonjour.Est il possible de connecter ma sonos move avec un cable ethernet à mon routeur, à l’aide d’un adaptateur pour cable usb-c ? (pour éviter une connexion en wifi).la connexion wifi fonctionne très bien, mais quand je bascule sur le bluetooth, la connexion wifi de la PS4 de mon fils se perd.Merci.

Sinds kort verschijnt de tekst "NPO Radio 1is niet langer beschikbaar op Sonos Radio" wanneer ik het NPO Radio 1-icoontje aanklik. Vele jaren lang was NPO Radio wél beschikbaar op Sonos Radio en daarvóór op Tune in. Hoe kan ik nu NPO Radio beluisteren via Sonos?
