Spaces & Setups

This double notification has been a thing for many people and for quite some time now. Is there a fix?  

Just started with Apple GarageBand music production software. Bummed to learn that I can’t use my Submini and pair One SLs as my “studio speakers” because of Airplay latency. If I connected the Mac Studio via HDMI to Sonos Amp to then play through to the Submini/pair One SLs, would that solve the delay problem? I’m thinking it would not, because even from the Sonos Amp, I’m then dealing with “streaming” via wifi and I’ll have the same delay.Any ideas? Thanks!

Are there any standards to what kind of adds Sonos accepts on Sonos Radio. There is a porn add running on danish Sonos by a compagny called Sinful.Are there adds on payed Sonos Radio ?

I know there was another thread here 4 years ago with no much traffic, hopping now both sonos and beatport are more mainstream and ready for an integration. 

We have multiple existing Sonos products and have just purchased an Arc to use with the new TV we are purchasing.  We want to get a Samsung, as we use Philo as a streaming service and they support it in their Apps, where no other TV maker does.  We are looking at a SAMSUNG 75" Class QN850B-Series Neo QLED 8K Smart TV - QN75QN850BFXZA at Sam’s club.  It is a 2022 model, and it is not a FRAME TV.  I am aware of the issues with older Samsung TVs and Arc, and just want to make sure they have been resolved before I move forward with purchasing this TV.  Thanks in advance for any help with this!

Wondering if anyone is having problems using direct control from the Pandora app to Sonos?  When I choose the “casting” feature in the lower right corner of the Pandora app I’m presented with a list of “devices” that I can cast to.  I have no problem with google devices, but when I choose a Sonos target I have problems.  At first the music gets sent to the Sonos device, but after a few minutes the controls in Pandora become unresponsive.When the song finishes and the next song begins, the Pandora app does not update, but continues to show the screen for the previous song.  At the bottom pf the Pandora app screen I see a message “Buffering...Your music will be back shortly”.  At this point the app has lost communication with Sonos and remains unresponsive.  The only way to reset is to start a different station from Pandora. This problem is the same across multiple iOS devices, phones and iPads.  I have updated all apps, uninstalled and reinstalled pandora and sonos.  Also restarted mode

As noted in the post here:TuneIn, and by extension, Sonos Radio, will soon be losing the ability to stream the BBC. Check out the details in that post for other ways of accessing the BBC, for both those inside the UK, and for those outside the UK.

I have just managed to resolve this issue with technical support as a workaround until the permanent fix is deployed and the steps are as follows:Using an iOS Device from a Friend, Relative or Neighbour.Connect their device to your Wi-Fi network. Download the Sonos App Download Apple Music (if not already downloaded) On the iOS Device click Settings > Their Apple ID > Media & Purchases > Sign Out Launch the Sonos App Click Join Existing System Login to your Sonos ID Click on Apple Music in the Sonos App Click Re-authorise Follow the journey in Apple Music. On the iOS Device click Settings > Their Apple ID > Media & Purchases > Sign OutThen your Friend, Relative or Neighbour can sign back into Media & Purchases. Finally uninstall the Sonos App

Hi, I only have two rooms in my system but I can’t create a permanent group with them. The group option is greyed out and it says I can only create groups when three or more rooms exist. What is the purpose of this limitation?

With the rising energy prices Sonos idle (standby) power consumption is getting more and more costly. With 3 Amp’s and a Play 5 I’m at 22,5 Watts or 197 kWh a year. At the October 2022 energy price in Holland this accounts to about € 149/Year or about € 12/Month. I'm seriously considering switching to Bluesound who seem to be able to build devices with seriously less idle power consumption. Please Sonos, figure out a way to solve this long standing issue.

I would like to use my Audi Q4 Etron SONOS in-car sound system via CarPlay or Android Auto to play my music like in my SONOS One home system.

Sonos S2 system.  Latest updates.  Just deleted and re-added Plex; no change.  Plex software is current.  Running Ubiquiti Unifi system for network gear.I can see my library, and for the most part, play music files from Plex.When I try to play much larger m4b audiobooks, I see a whole bunch of ranged gets (with 200 status code) of 6144 bytes in length (For a 200+MB file) and then it eventually fails and I can’t play back the book.  Each of these gets is from a different source port on my Sonos, which I think is excessive.I do have Remote Access for Plex enabled but do not have any ports published (for Plex or anything else).Any idea what is going on and what I should do here?  I’d like to be able to play Audiobooks through Plex on my Sonos.Thanks

V14.20 two instances dropouts/missing sub&surrounds since setting it up. One happend after trueplay retuning when I was gonna use the system later in the evening the surrounds were missing. Today the surrounds and sub were missing. Nothing else has happend with the router, I have different SSIDs and tons of IoT devices that report no issues. Got Beam gen 2, 2 Play:1s and a Sub mini. No mesh. Wifi6 enabled asus router. Connected to LG CX55 via eARC. Connected the beam on ethernet on the last dropout. Seemingly this is the solution for the “wireless” system. (And this time I didn’t have to reset the surrounds, just a reboot of them, the sub and the router.)

Hey guys!I am moving to a new place and in my head I am planning how and where to setup my TV and my Sonos Gear (Sonos Arc, Sub, One surrounds).The living room is quite large, has a lot of big windows, angled ceilings and therefore a lack of opportunities where to place the TV with the Sonos system. I highlighted the area in the photo where TV is supposed to be mounted. (please note that all the furniture in the photo will be replaced.)I am concerned that the sound is going to be compromised due to the rooms setup. So I would appreciate some suggestions and opinions on this matter. Thank you and cheers!

So, there were not any explicit answers that I could find. I found it when I prayed about it.So:On the Firestick: Home>Settings>Equipment Control>You my have to enter your PIN>Manage Equipment>Add Equipment>Scroll Down to Soundbar>Select Sonos.It walks you through the rest. It took about five minutes.

Y a t il une solution pour la connexion Beam 2 avec TV ayant une sortie son en SPDIF COAXIALE

Is anyone else having issues with the system and upgrade tab on the website?   I keep getting blank screens and it never loads or http error 502.   This has been for two weeks.   Unfortunately no help from Sonos support.   I have followed troubleshooting for my end but feel it is on sonos end.

Hi,I currently have a Beam Gen 1 set up with two IKEA Symfonisk bookshelf speakers as my surround sound system. I have just upgraded my TV and wanted to upgrade my sound system as well. So I bought a used Play 5 Gen 1 to utilize the trade up offer. And now I have my eyes on a used Sonos package with an Arc, Sub Gen 3 and One. I was wondering if I could downgrade the Beam Gen 1 to the S1 app to pair it with the Play 5 Gen 1 and One and then play with the rest of the S2 system over AirPlay? Either through Spotify or Apple Music. Worst case Youtube. 

Hi, I’m running Sonos 2 v12.1 on Pixel 4a (though I had this same issue on Pixel 2).When I browse “On this Mobile Device” my music appears just fine under Albums, Songs, and Playlists. However, there’s no discernible sort order of Artists and my Genres are all empty. I’d appreciate some thoughts on how to resolve these. I’d like Artists in alphabetical order (or for someone to at least tell me what the sort order is) and for Genre to be populated. Thanks so much!Artists - what order?eh? 

Few years ago many users suggested to add the option to make presets for the sound settings on the app and its still didnt happened. Can i ask you pleeeeease to make presets for the whole EQ settings (10 slots to customize) such as for music we will be able set height levels to +4 and the Loudness on etc. And just by pressing on ‘music’ for example, it will change all the settings. Thanks in advance.

Is it possible to use my current receiver and phonograph to play vinyl records through Arc?

If all I have is the Sonos Move and the Port, I could stream CD player and Turntable (with pre-amp) to the Move without an amplifier/receiver, correct? Your thoughts. 

Hi everyone,I’m wondering if I should set up beam + sub + 5’s as surrounds on my TV OR whether I should have beam just on TV then have separate ‘music’ setup with stereo paired 5’s + sub. I listen mostly to music and I feel the latter option is the best use of the 5’s and subs for music as they’re stereo paired vs the first configuration where the 5’s are not stereo paired… What does everyone think?

Is SONOS working on a turntable that will connect to a SONOS Amp?  (A turntable not named Victrola)
