Under General Settings - About Your SystemPlease could the BSSID be displayed for each speaker.This information is already available under the Device’s Network Settings but having on the About Your System display would make it easier to check for any anomalies when trying to understand possible network issues for Speakers in a Room.

Hi all, I would need your suggest. I like to listen music on Spotify. My favorite music is trance/progressive/melodic. I know that Spotify doesn’t have Dolby Atoms and so what type of Sonos should I choose? Maybe Era 300 could be useless. What do you thing? Thanks in advance.

Hey Sonos fam,Quick sanity check before Christmas.My mom wants Sonos speakers for her kitchen. The room is roughly 5 x 10 meters, open, fairly lively acoustics. Mostly used for music while cooking, hanging out, not critical listening.We have a fixed gift budget. That leaves me with two realistic options:•    Two Era 100s (stereo pair)•    One Era 300Two Era 300s would be ideal, sure, but that’s outside what we agreed on.My dilemma:Stereo separation and room coverage vs. the spatial / fuller sound of a single Era 300. I’m leaning toward the two Era 100s for balance and coverage, but I’m not sure if one Era 300 would actually outperform them in a room this size, especially without a second one.Anyone here with real-world experience in a similar space?Not looking for specs, more for lived experience.

Please integrate Sonos with Samsung SmartThings locally. 

I live in Iceland and I purchased ARC ultra and wanted to connect it to my Google home account, like any other devices I have are connected to. When I try to connect the Arc to Google home I am told that Sonos is not supported in my country, even when the product is being sold in Iceland.  When may I expect the service available in Iceland? The product is not cheep, I would like to be able to use it. 

Hello,I have started to plan my speaker setup for my living room. Instead of a TV I am gonna have a projector since there is the perfect wall for it. I don’t own any Sonos products yet so I don’t know their limitations and so on.Problem is that the projector is gonna be about 3 meters up in the ceiling 6 meters away from a wall. I don’t want to pull any cables from my projector and all the way to the soundbar (if I’m gonna have a soundbar) so I’ve been thinking about using a Sonos AMP instead with HDMI ARC.If it turns out that I would like to use a soundbar, can I use the Projector and connect it to the Sonos Amp and wirelessly play on the soundbar? Or could I create my own 5.1 system using Eras?Or… Is there a better way to do this. At one point I had an idea about using the Ray as a connection point for multiple Eras but that seems to be hard to make it work since it’s designed to be a master? or am I missing something. I hope someone can shed some light on this matter.Thank you,Bende

I have a fairly unique use case and I’m having trouble finding the right solution. Application: A mobile (portable) campervan setup, audio will be transmitted mostly via Airplay 2/Bluetooth from a portable projector and the content will majority be streamed TV shows with compressed audio. Van is appromately 150sf in it’s entirety but speaker would be placed directly in front of viewers, mounted at ear level and at about a 4’ distance away. Viewing will all be indoors. Goal: A portable, easy to setup/take down, speaker(s) that can do a decent job presenting dialogue and a decent cinema experience when necessary.I realize there aren’t any single (or at worse 2) speakers that are going to reproduce anything close to a home theatre experience so I’m going for the best I can get.Speakers I’ve looked at;Sonos Beam Gen 2Sonos Move 2Sonos Era 300Sonos FiveSonos Era 100 (pair) I’ve only heard in person the Beam Gen 2 which is decent but it’s pretty long so it is a bit hard to store and needs a

Dear Sonos developers As many of your Sonos users are now elderly, but your app on IOS is far too complicated for those users. I am having to always fix my elderly parents speakers and if your suggestion is use voice control you don’t understand the older generation. Either create a widget or shortcut just to play their chosen radio station or make an option in your app for a simple screen hiding all those unnecessary functions away, like Uber app does. Think out of the box for the needs of the older generations, which is a growing user base and please make your app available for all, not just youngsters!!!

Hi the problem I have is what is in the title, when I stream music directly to Sonos Arc I can control the volume using the TV remote, but only if the TV is off, if the TV is on but the source is still set to a streaming service or AirPlay the TV remote is not able to change the volume. I have an LG G1 and use the magic remote.

Probably elementary, but I’m from the vinyl age.  I’ve set up a pair of Roam2 for use with my home Sonos system.  If I take them when I travel and connect them with another device, will I then have to set them up again for my home system when I return.

I’ve got about 10 rooms of Sonos.  Have held off updating to S2 for a couple of years due to all the negative feedback on S2 and there being no compelling reason to upgrade.Spotify Lossless finally provides something that makes me want to do the upgrade.But I can’t seem to find anything that gives me the detail as to the current functionality differences between the 2 apps.  I see lots of historic stuff about not being able to search local libraries, edit the queue etc, as well as problems like lagging volume changes and speakers dropping out.Is there a good comparative list of functionality differences that anyone could point me too, and/or an up to date thread on usability?Thanks

One of my Sonos Five pair just spontaneously died after just a little over two years. Just outside the warranty. It will not turn on. This happened while in standby during the night.  Both Sonos and the local reseller act as though its expected and normal. And are not interested in fixing or replacing the 2 yo speaker.Im told the speaker cannot be fixed, only replaced. I have also found comments online saying this malfunction is not uncommon - but i cannot corroborate that.  Does anyone have any experience with Five going dead after two years?and was anybody able to find the magic words to say to Sonos to make them own up to this disgrace rather than sending you off to buy a new one with a shameful discount of 30% like a cheap brand?Also, does anybody know if there are  repair labs that can benefit from the almost brand new working parts (other than Sonos themselves)?

Porqué SONOS no hace para poder ordenar las listas ¿de reproducción alfabéticamente?  Es un engorro tener que estar buscando las listas y si tienes muchas como me pasa a mí es un incordio. 

We’re having problems with many podcasts from Amazon music that used to work (on S1 systems).When I try to play This American Life, for example, on an S1 Sonos using the Amazon app, it doesn’t work.  When I look at the Sonos S1 app, I see a pop up dialog sayingUnable to play ‘This American Life’ - the connection to pfx.vpixl.com:443 was lost. Other podcasts have triggered similar dialogs with “prfx.byspotify.com”, “chrt.fm”, and “www.podtrac.com”.I’m told these are ad trackers and some form of redirect is required.  Perhaps S1 Sonos cannot handle these correctly?

I saw Qobuz was compatible with the app and never considered this would be separate from the very critical voice commands feature. So happy with the speakers but can't help but be disappointed about this. Is this on the horizon?

I’m unsure whether the Beam or Arc would be better for my apartment. I don’t want to bother my neighbors. My living room is about 15 feet wide (though one side only has a partial wall with the kitchen extending another 10 feet, if that matters for sound wave reflection). My couch is about 8 feet from the tv. The room extends another 12 feet beyond that, where I have a dining room table. There is another 10 foot room after that to reach the wall I share with my neighbor. The wall the tv is on is at the end of the building, so no neighbor there, nor above me. If possible, since it’s one big room, I would like to also use the soundbar for background music while sitting at the dining room table. Given the large extra cost if I get the Arc, I’m unlikely to get anything else; if I get the Beam, I’d consider a couple Era 100s for rear speakers (not sure if those could be used as regular speakers for the dining table when not using them for a movie).  I’m not an audiophile, so I’m not sure the

Recently replaced our standard TV with HD projector in our living room.  Looking for speakers that would provide a surround sound and at a loss in comparing the Sonos products.  Anyone have Sonos they use with their home projector? 

Bonjour je vais acheter une arc ultra et je me demande si il y a besoin d'effectuer un rodage ? Merci d'avance.

I listen to music occasionally ; thinking of ERA 100 to replace Gen 1 in my den. I have another Gen1 on my outdoor patio that will remain. Would I hear a difference? 

hi quick question as novice. Im buying a new tv and sound system for tv and audio for new open plan room. Being old i assumed i needed to provide an inset in the wall and provided a space 8cm deep big enough for 65 inch tv and sound bar.  I was talking to richer sounds and realise the tv are only 11mm deep so thought as they had  a deal on samsung 77 95 id put it over hole. they said i could put a sonos sound bar unnderneath resting on the inset. this would mean the sound bar stuck out 2cm from the tv. Richer sounds said this would be fine s speakers on the front. But reading install sonos says needs 100mm above bar, i would want to make this minimum i could as gap between two would show the inset and might look strange. Also they said if i bought the arc it could play the music for the room aswell, the room is approx 10m long 6m wide and tv just off middle of width wall. The other option is to go with tvs sound bar (free at moment with tv)   and put in seperate eras for music, Any sug

Songs with accents or special characters in the titles missing on Sonos Controller App when imported from a playlist on macOS.For Windows users I found this topic that will give you more information about this problem. For those who are on the macOS side here’s the way I used to fix it. I’m running macOS12 « Monterey » but it should work with many mores. My Sonos Controller is 17.2 and the Sonos OS is S2. First create *m3u file and locate the songs in the playlist with a text editor. I use TextEdit but you can choose whatever floats your boat. Depending on the app you used to create the playlist (I use Mp3tag) you’ll find the path of the songs as: /Users/polo/Music/Jean Jacques Goldman/En Public/CD1/Pas l'indifférence.mp3Where polo is my username. Now we have to modify the path of each song in the playlist to be accessed by the Sonos Controller app as follows: In macOS the url location doesn’t (at least for me) work like in Windows. I’ve found that you have to change it with the name s

set up , totally new to this , just moved house and ceilings are full of speakers , probably 15 years old , lots of ends coming out walls , what do i need to get them to work

I’ve been using Sonos devices since long and I’ve always preferred to wire them because, well, I wire everything whenever possible (less radio noise, more reliable, some rooms don’t have good wifi signal, etc). I’m saddened to discover that the new models force me to buy extra adapters (I suppose other not-Sonos adapter won’t work) just to connect the home speakers to the ethernet network. It’s actually extra annoying because Amazon don’t sell them and the Sonos store don’t deliver to freighter services (as Amazon does) so I can’t get them where I live (Dominican Republic).If you know other shops who sell the combo adapter please let me know, thanks. 

I just bought a Sonos Arc refurb for a good price and it has not shipped yet...the Arc is a little bit "old" now haha. Anything I might be missing out on? I just use my TV with an nvidia Shield Pro and will use the Arc with the eARC port on my TV. Nothing too fancy in terms of use, just a PLEX library and some streaming services.Also I see that only Apple iOS is supported for their room configurations. I do not use Apple products. Am I missing out much by not being able to set up the speakers and map the room so to speak with an iOS device?I am using a 65” LG G5 OLED. Bedroom setup, I opted to not get the subwoofer.Thanks :)
