Spaces & Setups

Are you kidding me? after spending $1000’s of dollars to make my entire house sync together I now can not link my new with my old? I use to tell everyone that this is the best system ever and now you have just lost the trust of all your customers….. this is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard of! not supporting your products when they are the most expensive out there is amazing. I hope there is a fix to this and if not shame on you!

Is there any way to arrange your speakers in the app.  I’m assuming I could possibly rename them but I was hoping I could just drag and drop them into a new order. 

It took me a while to crack this,  I could not find anyone else writing about their success online, and I’m SURE I’m not the only one with this problem. I hope someone else finds this helpful:I have a projector set up on one end of the room, and want the sound to come from the screen in front of me, not the projector.  Without a TV, I’ve got nothing to generate an HDMI ARC signal -- Sonos doesn’t create it, my reciever can’t create it, and even the projector can’t create it, so Sonos wouldn’t let me use HDMI at all.  Even if they could have, I can’t run an HDMI under my floor or through my walls, and I really didn’t want to trip on the cable.  My reciever has plenty of optical input slots, but no optical out. Bluetooth has been serving us well for carrying the sound across the room -- quality is WAY better than I expected -- but the BEAM does not accept Bluetooth Input.  After trying and failing with a lot of different ideas, here’s what ultimately worked:Fire TV Stick → BenQ HT2050A p

Just updated to 14.12 only noticed 2 things Truplay had to be redone for my arc,sub and surrounds not my 5's and sub Also volume level seems lower on the  arc

Hello any HK Sonos fan here? 🙋🏻Any idea on supporting more HK local music service Moov/Joox on Sonos? Is there anyway we can send feedback to the Sonos team?A bit frustrated that some of the most common local music service cannot be found in the app. Though Sonos has amazing sound and user experience. 

My current living room setup is two Ones and sub on hardwood floor (part of the room has a rug). The hardwoods are new and have a thick layer of soundproofing, like gym floor mat, and it works amazing. My downstairs neighbor can only hear bass when Im listening at a decent volume at night.  My question -- since the sub frequency is resonating on the ground, I assume it’s always going to be a problem. Would swapping to two Fives fix this? I want to be able to listen louder without disturbing. Thanks

Hi there, I want to add sono devices on my website. Can I do affiliate marketing with sonos? I have thousands of visitors on my website. Can I earn income from affiliate?

I purchased the Sonos Arc, Sub and two one Sl's. While I was sort of happy with the Cinema Sound stage, I wasn't happy with the sound of music through this set up. In my opinion, the arc is an awful sound with music only, great with Home Cinema. While I get that this set up is primarily for Home Cinema, I have changed the One Sl's for two fives. However, I only wish Sonos would allow the user to disable the Arc when playing music through the Fives. You can disable the sub and the surrounds, why not the Arc? At the moment I have set the One SL's back up with the Arc and sub and set the Fives up as another room within our living room. A pretty overkill option just to use the Fives as a standalone pair. Im wondering as a work around, if the option of disabling the WiFi of the arc in the app would work? However, I see you need an ethernet cable connected to do this. Maybe if I put an ethernet cable and don't connect to the Router, this will enable the user to use the toggle within the app

Sonos Arc with Front and Rear Surrounds! How to connect! Ultimate Sonos surround system with 7 speakers and 2 subs.Setup:  1)Use digital audio splitter2) and 2 Sonos HDMI digital audio adapter. Connect everything via 1 optical cable and 2 hdmi + 2 Sonos HDMI optical adapterThen you have to install 2 system in Sonos app:1) In Sonos app you can connect Sonos Arc with 2 Sonos fives (or Sonos in wall or Sonos ceiling with rear Sonos AMP) + sub2) And second you have to connect Front Sonos APP with Sonos in wall (or Sonos ceiling) + Rear Sonos AMP with Sonos ceiling (or Sonos in wall) + sub. I highly recommend connecting a subwoofer as it will take the bass off the speakers.  Since I had a problem that the sonos in wall vibrated a little.  But after connecting with a subwoofer, everything became fine.At all you will get fantastic audio experience. How to connect in this video:  Moderator Note: Made corrections requested by author. 

Hi All - I am wondering what amplifier people use for Sonos Connect products. I have been using Audiosource amps with Behringer EQs for in-wall JBL speakers. The system sounds OK but it’s a lot of components, IMO. I’m curiuos what others have been doing.Also, I am getting a hiss in one of my systems that I have to troubleshoot and that’s adding to my interest in a more robust, reliable set up. Looking forward to hearing backDave

Hi,I am trying to figure out the best solution for my family room. The size of the room us 18X 25. I like live and acoustic music and was wondering what the best combination is? Are 2 Five speakers worth it?

Have just added sub mini to my existing Beam (1) and 2xPlay 1 setup.  Appreciate there are other setups ( more £s) but this is the best home cinema setup I’ve experienced to date.  Think I’m going to enjoy this upgrade :-)

So, the long awaited sub arrived yesterday, and I've immediately set it up in my living room (which I believe falls into the Sonos definition of small-medium size) and paired it with Arc and One's as Surround and so far is one of the biggest disappointments I ever had from a piece of tech.I've played music, movies, tv shows and to my hears, I couldn't hear any differences, the sub at 0 is almost not audible, at 5 you can hear something, and bringing it at +15 finally showed some heavy bass, but I don't think that it is normal. On top of that, to me seems like the Arc and Surrounds are still playing those bass notes, instead of handing it down to the Sub and mid - high seems exactly the same as before, and I've expected it to sound better.So I've started experimenting: Tried turning the sub off, made no tangible difference to my hears Tried moving the sub to another room, so that I couldn't hear it, and to my hears the arc was still playing low frequency sounds. Tried turning off the

I’m not sure how to contact Sonos regarding feature requests so I’ll just add it here and hope for the best: I would like to be able to adjust the amount of the “night mode” effect used. I live in an apartment and there’s only maybe a 2-3 hour window in each day where I can fully enjoy my surround system. Unfortunately that’s during the day when it’s bright in my living room.Because of this I have to use “night mode” almost exclusively when watching content. While it sounds great, it’s a bit too extreme for normal daytime use. If I could bring the effect down 50% it would be perfect. I think that a lot of users would appreciate this function and a lot of purists might be less disgusted to hear it was being used. 😁

With your time with your Sonos setups, what would you like to see Sonos add in future software updates that Sonos currently doesn't offer via software?

Hi All - Just started my journey into using Sonos following some research and guidance. I’ve purchased an Arc for TV viewing and impressed compared with flat screen speakers. However, I need to improve on the Music atmosphere in the same room as the Arc (base seems lacking for my taste for general Pop music). I know general guidance for music depends on what music you play so a good example is Kyrie by Mr Mister using Apple Music. This song has vocals, base, stage, etc. Question then, should I consider adding pair of Sonos One SL or Sub Gen 3 or some other configuration (reluctant to add both at this stage)? Thanks all for any feedback.

Is there a maximum number of times a single song can be repeated? I have a track which I want to loop and play all night. The track is stored on my device (android).Every night I start thr track and set it to repeat loop, it plays for 4 hours or so and then just stops. Same thing happens if I play the track through sound cloud. Does the Sonos app impose a maximum plays limit? 

I want to be able to use my Roam as a bluetooth speaker connected to my Mac.  I can pair it and everything works fine, except during the periods where I’m not playing music or generating computer audio, the Sonos disconnects from bluetooth and reverts to wifi. Is there any way to stop the roam from automatically disconnecting after periods of inactivity? It’s very annoying. 

I am trying to figure out a way to get a Spotify playlist by an artist to show up in the native Sonos app so I don’t have to play it from the Spotify’s app. Absolutely driving me insane. Accidentally did it once but have no idea how I actually did it. I am an Apple Music guy so this is foreign. I have a Spotify free account. Went on the Spotify app and added the playlists to my library. They do not show up anywhere in the Spotify account on my Sonos app. It’s just generic Spotify generated crap. Adding it to Profile does nothing. I can Airplay it to the speakers and then it shows up as Recently Played in Sonos under Spotify. From there I have to add it in as Sonos Favorites and finally have access to it. That is about 4 steps to long. Any way to clean this up would be helpful.

Hi.I’ve bought Philips TV. OLED806. I have Sonos Arc and Ones.And lip sync wasn’t correct. Adjusting to step 5 (the highest) helped a little. But it seems as it needs at least step 7. Or more.Is it possible to “hack” this setting to allow higher number? :)Thanks.Josef

Hey guys, so I’m a bit of a novice when it comes to this kind of stuff. I’ve searched a few times on here and I’ve been able to ascertain that the ARC can’t play DTS-HD tracks, but this is where I get a little lost.I have a LG CX OLED connected to a Panasonic 4K bluray player with a Sonos Arc + Sub + 2 x ones for surrounds.  Trying to play Scream 2 4K which has a DTS-HD 5.1 track. The Sonos app says it is playing Multichannel PCM 7.1 and it sounds pretty awful. Very soft and not at all powerful.  Am I doing something wrong ? Or is there a bit of a workaround ?  Sorry I do appreciate that this has probably been asked ad nauseam but just feeling a little lost :(

I have Sonos Arc since 2020. and a playstation 4 pro. Sonos never worked with PS4 like its other straight-forward features.  I wonder if there is anyone in the world has succeed connecting them? will there be any PS support come to Sonos? Since Sonos overrides settings and doesnt support PlayStation mutes everything; and the forgot putting a turn off button on it, i have to plug it off while playing PS Sonos drastically decreases my gaming comfort, fyi who has a PS and would like to consider buying Sonos system Moderator Note: Combined two posts so it doesn’t look like topic has been replied to already.

Requesting Sonos to have the option by end of 2022 to early 2023 to be able to install front right and left front speakers to a home theater setup to get dedicated right and left sounds from it's own front speakers.

I have a projector, Arc, Amp and 2 Subs. I had purchased an HDFury Arcana and had nothing but issues with the unit their tch support helped as much as they could.So I purchased a new Epson projector, LS12000, with eARC. Source is a 4K Apple TV.The CEC works perfect from the Epson remote control. The system is now reliable enough for my family to use. I’ve also remapped, using Pro Control, a Lutron Pico to control the projector and lighting in the room. One button turns on the projector and lighting and another turns everything off. Next, I’ll be looking to hack the Atmos and install in ceiling speakers and use the internal amplifiers, hopefully it’ll offer better sound.  

Any advantages to Toslink/Optical or Coaxial connection for using an external DAC with a Sonos Connect?
