Spaces & Setups

I want to add Pro Ject turntable to my existing home theatre set up. Play bar, play 1s and sub.Once I connect via amp, port or play 5 etc. will the sound broadcast over all speakers? or just one?  

I can’t connect Spotify to my Sonos system 

Would be great on the desktop controller if we could click on the now playing artist / album / track artwork to make it full screen.At the moment you just get a slightly larger pointless thumbnail on the mini player, it would be great if this could go fullscreen.I understand that the image is square in shape so wouldn’t be able to stretch to fit to a rectangular screen, but a larger image against a solid colour backround (white or black) would give the desktop app a great look when music is playing. Just like the mobile app but landscape for a desktop screen. Surely a possibility in 2022?

Hi Sonos creators,As u may know I do have the whole sonos collection in order to play movies at its highest level…...BUT…..Is it possible that Sonos will work someday with Dolby Atmos company in L.A. on a  possibility of adding more units and upgrades in order to run this new sound system as good as those 11.2 domestics home theater sound systems from today. For instance:1- using the arc soundbar at a lower center and another one above the television, using the sonos five for the lower fronts, two sonos ones for higher fronts….and same thing for the sides and the rears?Presently I have the arc soundbar, a pair of Sonos Five for surrounds and 2 subs (1front and 1 rear), of course it sounds real good….BUT…….some’s really missing…….the heights and the sides !!!…..I know, would cost a fortune to add all those units but damn it’s sound terrific wooffff……...By the way nice design….very small units for their power capacities…...very high end components…..see I’m not even using my kit in my ow

I just bought a sonos beam gen 2 and a denon avr-S760H receiver. How do I connect my Tv (TCL) and blue ray player (SONY)  to use both of them?  The only speaker I want to use is the Beam. Should I plug in the AVR to the TV’s hdmi-arc but then how do I connect the Beam? Do I connect Beam directly  with the TV’s optical audio output? Or I connect the Beam  with the receiver’s somehow? Thx.

I updated the S1 app on my iPod Touch this morning, to version 11.6.1, and now when I try to launch it, the splash screen displays for a few seconds and then it quits. This is a 7th gen iPod Touch that had been running iOS 15.6.1. I noticed there was an iOS update and updated it to 15.7.1: same result. Is anyone else seeing this?

New build. Need help with in ceiling speaker placement for main living and kitchen area. This will be for music only. Do not intend to try and do a tv surround sound. Thanks.  

So I’ve had a longstanding issue with DTS on Sonos, where I can play DTS Blu Rays, but only if I turn off the ‘eARC’ of my TV. This is better than nothing, but frustrating as turning eARC off causes other issues with my setup.Sonos today told me that this is due to my Blu Rays outputting a form of DTS called ‘DTS 4’ which apparently Sonos don’t support. I’ve never been aware of DTS 4, and it seems all/most Blu Rays output DTS using that.Apparently the reason it works with eARC off is that my TV then downgrades DTS 4 to DTS, and Sonos plays it.But I really don’t understand why this is not supported as standard if it’s the only form of DTS on Blu Rays, and why there isn’t a way to just automatically downgrade it (without turning eARC off)? Does anyone know if Sonos are likely to add support for this soon?My setup:TV - LG B9 OLEDBlu Ray Player - Panasonic DP-UB820Sonos - Sonos Arc + One SLs

What would you prefer for regular home (living room 30m2) acoustic.  Sonos arcSonos beam 2 + 2x Sonos one 

I’ve requested this of Sonos but I always get the standard reply we’ll look into this. Suppose it’ll ever happen?

Recently purchased the Sub (Gen 3) and noticed that the plastic at the top of the sub seems to stick out on one side (most likely the serviceable side).  I checked the store display which did not have this issue and also got a second Sub (Gen 3) which had the side sticking farther out than the first one.  Just wondering if anyone else noticed this or has any info.  Thanks Community!!!!

The Sonos Amp goes into ‘idle’ mode when it doesn’t detect an audio signal for more than 3 minutes. It’s a shame that the Amp doesn’t automatically wake up from idle mode when the TV it’s connected to is turned on. Every time you switch the TV on, and begin playing content, you miss the first 3 seconds of audio as you wait for the Amp to wake up.  This problem also occurs when you pause whatever content you’re watching for more than 3 minutes - the Amp goes to idle mode, and then you miss the first 3 seconds of audio when you begin playing again. Every other audio receiver turns itself on when the TV is turned on, using HDMI CEC control. Surely the Amp could do the same? The Amp should wake up from idle when the TV is turned on, and stay woken up until the TV is turned off.

If you wish to know why your Sonos sound system keeps losing connection with your BT hub 2 The answer is pretty simple? How do I know. I tried every single possible configuration in order to resolve, with no effect, until I began to replace everything.I decided to purchased brand new Sonos SL play speakers at great expense, as mine were a few years old. Guess what! I had exactly the same connection issues.I disabled the 5ghz Wi-Fi frequency on the original BT Hub 2 router and  consequently my Sonos speakers started working. Not exactly an ideal solution but still a bit flakeyI then bought a new unused BT hub 2 router on eBay. Updated the firmware to  v0.31.00.10253-BTOnce setup, everything worked perfectly. No wi-fi or Sonos issues. Even with the 5ghz band enabled no wi-fin issues whatsoever.Plugged in my old BT hub2 . Yep most things worked as normal, but Sonos again started to dropped out. Swapped back to the new hub and then all fine,I can only deduce that BT hubs have an inherent d

ok, so i’m starting from zero. Going to buy a cd player and receiver, and i want to be able to stream music.My question is this: Do i need to buy a certain type of cd player and receiver so that i can then hook up a Sonos speaker? And do i need to buy bookshelf speakers as well, or will the Sonos speakers be enough?I’m looking at a Sonos port and a couple of the SL speakers.

Hi all,I’ve seen various topics about this , all with no clear answer, so I’ll try to spell my issue out simply and clearly.I have a Samsung Q70AA 65” tv, an Xbox Series X and a Sonos Beam gen 2.The tv is set to allow audio pass through and to allow Dolby atmos.The Xbox is connected via the 2.1 hdmi port. The settings are set to allow pass through and for Dolby atmos.The Sonos Beam is connected via the e-arc port of my tv, e-arc is set to on.Games in Dolby atmos have significant sync issues. Blu rays, tv and streaming apps do not. The Sonos app displays Dolby atmos when it should do. The tv dialog sync setting on the Sonos app makes no difference.The audio delay setting on the tv makes a slight difference but games in dolby atmos are still unplayable.I guess it’s an issue with the Series X? Has this been confirmed?I know I could turn Dolby atmos off for games but that defeats the point of me buying a Sonos beam with Dolby atmos. 

I just updated the SONOS V2 app to V14.0 Build 67125130 on an iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus and they both will randomly not show the playlist that have been previously created. If we force close the SONOS V2 app then it will some time show the playlist. Both iPhones have been updated to iOS 15.3 and have been rebooted numerous times. All music has been ripped to the FLAC format and is stored on a SYNOLOGY DS1821+ NAS running the latest DSM 7.x operating system.

If you select an album the music that plays is not the album of choice and album contents (songs) not shown

Moving into a new house and looking for a setup for music listening (no movies) in a large open-concept space (entry, dining room, living room, kitchen). The speakers would be placed on top of the mantel. Listening levels would range from background music to fully cranked. My wife would listen to mostly classical (piano) and I would listen to a wide range of genres.Considering whether stereo paired Fives or Ones would be better, and whether a Sub or Sub-mini would be better. Significant price differentials here, I know. I wish the Fives had voice control.For reference, the home theater (very large) space will probably have dual 15” subs.Thanks for the advice!

Sonos released another minor patch 14.19.1. No details are provided yet.  Has anyone updated? Any feedback?

Hi - I had Comcast as my wifi with my Sonos and had no issues. When I added eero with three nodes, while keeping my Comcast router, my sonos playbar would no longer connect. I direct connected the playbar to eero with an ethernet cable, opened the Sonos app and forgot my wifi system > network > manage network (even though it has the same name and PW), and went through the process to “fix the connection”. I tried to connect to the wifi once and it failed. So I tried again and unplugged the Ethernet cable while it was connecting. Fixed all my issues and works great (without resetting a bunch of settings). Thought I’d share if it helps!  

I Sonos planning to fix this or is my Play 5 now junk?

I have a Samsung Frame tv. In the same area, I have 2 Sonos amps connected to ceiling speakers. I can't connect a cable from my tv to my amps. What is the cheapest way to have my tv sendind the sound signal to my amps?

I’m new to all of this, so please excuse any novice questions!  My wife and I are finishing the renovations on a new house and we’ve been in a little bit of a battle with how our entertainment area will be setup.  We have an open plan den/kitchen area and I was planning on using an Arc, Sub, and two One SLs to provide a decent audio setup.  Unfortunately, the TV is located close to a design element that my wife doesn’t want to crowd with electronics and view the Arc as a hindrance to her vision (interior designer).  I’m now exploring in-ceiling options so that I can keep that “clean look” she wants and limit immediately visible electronics.  I was wondering if I would be able to utilize 4 in-ceiling speakers and a single Amp and a sub.  All speakers would be used primarily in a theatre manner for movies/tv (sometimes music, but not as often) and would play from the same source at all times. Is this a feasible setup or do I need to make some changes?

Surround speakers OR Stereo Pair option in S2 App?My current set up is an Sonos Arc plus 2 x Sonos SL one’s in my lounge.Will Sonos ever create an option in their S2 App that would allow you to switch the same pair of Sonos speakers between a surround set up OR a stereo pair with one button press ?Music sounds much better when I set the SL ones a stereo pair when compared to set as surrounds ( with the surround option set to “Full” and an increase in the music volume in the surround set up menu ).I don’t really want to buy another pair of Sonos speakers! I have seen quite a few other threads looking for this same option. Is this perhaps a marketing ploy by Sonos to generate more sales over end user functionality?Many thanks.
