Spaces & Setups

I currently have one play5 in my living room for listening to music. I would like more room filling music, so I would like to get a pair of in-ceiling sonance speakers with an amp.I enjoy the play5 and would like to keep it in the same room with the sonance. Would that work well?if I could add another play5, I would, but do not have the space. Also thought about the ikea symphonix picture frames, but my wife thinks they are ugly. 😂I really just want more even sound through the living space which is open to the kitchen, foyer and dining room too. I don’t necessarily want full sound in the adjacent rooms, just be able to hear it as background.There is a TV in the living room, but it’s not really the TV used for watching movies, gaming, ect. We already have a gameroom TV with a full surround arc setup with sub that is fantastic. Don’t need another one.Any thoughts or alternatives welcome. 

Again requesting a widget, has been requested before , but I am unable to add my voice as a customer since that thread was closed: I own 10 of your devices. I would only consider adding to the system if the focus was taken off baby monitors and put back on things that improve basic usage of your devices. And easier to access volume control would be a big improvement  thanks

As the subject line says - I can play to my neighbour's Sonos system via Airplay - should I be able to do this?As backgrounder, I had an issue when I paired my Move with their Move, via wifi - just to see how they sounded as a pair.I then ended up having all kinds of issues with my Sonos system becoming entangled with theirs.Despite not being connected to their wifi and resetting the Moves to their rightful owners/wifi, I was still seeing their Sonos speakers via the Sonos app, when logged into my wifi and their email address intermittently appeared in my App log in page, instead of my own - it seemed their system had become baked into my app...After resetting the iOS app didn’t stop this happening, I appear to have eventually resolved this by:Wiping my iPhone and reinstalling the Sonos app Factory resetting my router Factory resetting/re-adding all of my system in the Sonos appMy Sonos system appears to now be stable, though I have had one of my surround One’s drop off twice.However,

Bonjour à tous le monde, je possède plusieurs produits sonos chez moi et je me suis séparé d une sonos Roam ,je ne possède plus l enceinte mais par contre elle apparaît toujours hors ligne sur l application….comment l enlever ??d avance merci

I’m running 5 for 5… Sonos requires an update, and my system completely stops working.  I mostly use the system for playing my record player.  LOVE the speaker when it works.  It’s a doorknob right now.  Infuriating.  

I am sure this has been discussed before but a search for anything around ‘volume’, ‘controls’, ‘slider’ or ‘app’ comes back with 100’s of results.As a user of the Sonos app on IOS, do I need an excessively small thumbprint to stop the slider attempting a sneaky move as I lift my thumb off the dot? I like even numbers. If I set the volume to 8, I don’t want the app to sneak to 7 or 9 as I take my thumb off the slider.Add slider clicks, take away the sneaky AI that decides it prefers its own volume setting.Thanks.

Hi I've just ordered a beam 1st gen, however I have only buried an optical cable in my wall, I know there is an adapter for HDMI to optical however Is there any kind of adapter which converts Optical to HDMI so I can use the optical cable, I've googled it but can't find an answer, thanks in advance

I am by no means a sound engineer, but the mid and low range frequencies are much richer on my passive Bang & Olufsen architectural speakers (which are powered by the Amp) when I stream through my Android TV versus other devices (laptop, tablet, phone, etc.) that aren’t directly connected to the Arc via eArc.  I understand how many permutations are involved there.  I have tried to control for as many of them as I can.  What I am really wondering is if the Arc woofers produce frequencies from the passive speakers in certain configurations with the Amp and not in others that seem almost identical?Thanks for any insights. 

As a Sonos fanboy, i've listened to Marshall Stanmore Ii today. Must say, I was impressed. Gbe detail, the power, bass. Can the Move (I plan to add it to my system) compete? Have you heard both?Neven

I recently acquired the turntable. There are 2 issues that are different than all other turntables I have owned. I would like to know whether what I am experiencing with the Pro-Ject T1 a defect or if this is how it is supposed to function.Once the LP playing reaches the end, the arm is supposed to come to it's resting position but it stays at the end and keeps spinning. This cannot be good for the needle or the record. Even if I manually return the arm to it's resting position, the turntable keeps spinning. I have to switch off the appliance for the turntable to stop spinningThanks for any guidance. 

It seems that another way for users to view and manage their saved Albums and Playlists would be in the ‘My Account’ section of the web app. The phone app stores this data, so it can’t be difficult for Sonos to upload and publish the lists in a personal Profile section titled ‘My Sonos’. Then using the web app interface, a user could edit/delete/export the album/song listings - but not add to it. It would be ideal to review the albums & songs on these lists, check for duplicates or simply to edit them. Does this sound like a useful idea?   

It would be nice to be able to split a sonos one that is paired in 5.1 surround audio zone to use for music while leaving the remaining pieces of surround running TV audio. It makes sense that audio quality might degrade but for simple tv watching and cooking in evening to split up a surround and move speakers around without major reconfiguration of entire system would be extremely useful. For example being able to go in the app and have the option to stream individually Apple Music to the right rear while watching YouTube. 

Hi folks. I have a Move and a Roam. Is there any way to get them to work together when outside (i.e. not on a home wi-fi network). I know that many of the portable speakers like UE Boom or JBL allow multiple speakers to work together while connected via Bluetooth to one phone. Is this functionality available with Sonos? If not - any work arounds - eg hotspotting? Thanks in advance! 

Hey,I currently have a Beam Gen 2 and 2x One SL as Surrounds but don’t have a TV or anything connected to it. I only use it for music via Airplay. My Beam sits on my desk and behind where I sit is my bed, where I placed the Ones left and right of it for a surround setup.Now I’m thinking of adding a stereo pair to my desk (on either side of the Beam) because i want more stereo sound comming from the desk when I’m laying in bed or even if I sit on my desk.The options are of course a One Stereo Pair or one with 2x Fives, but I think the Fives would be to much for that. (I’ve also considered if I’m going five to put them as surrounds one the place of the ones and to put the ones to my desk at the front)Whats your thought on that or do you have any recommendations for me?Thanks and sincerely

One problem is old another appears to be new.The old problem is on just 1 PC, and, it is the PC where the controller app was first installed. Whenever there is an update to the PC controller application, it causes the system to reboot. I’ve learned to anticipate this when the menu shows an update is available. But I’m getting tired of this behavior. Having multiple Windows computers, the PC controller updates do not cause any of those other systems to reboot, why just this one?Today while the system which has the reboot issue was busy, I did a few music library updates but when I tried to select Update Music Library, that was disabled. Going to a different system to use the PC controller there allowed me to trigger an update of the Sonos music libraries.Seems like more hoops to jump through and IMO that’s not good.</rant>

Would be nice if Sonos create an alamarm clock that indicates the time.Is there any news regarding this?

Can someone kindly help please?firstly are all the arc known problems resolved with the latest software?I have a playbar, gen 3 sub and 2 play 1s, hand on heart is it worth “ upgrading “ to an Arc? I probably play 75% music, 25% films from Amazon and also blu ray. I don’t play games. The tv is a 55” Samsung with arc and not earc. I am aware of HD Fury Arcana and know how it works for sound formats from tv and blu ray. The current set up is fine but I’d like to have Atmos and hd music.Bear in mind the cost the cost of the arc plus another £150 for Acarina which is the best part of £1000Thank youMartin

My remote for My Lg tv no longer work ,and dont have the option of taking it off the wall and take into a shop. The remote doesnt work to control the tv on/off,input ect… so the ir on the tv seems fried …. my question is can i use a repeater that i can plug in the tv that will allow me to use the T.V remote . The remotes all work fine to cablebox but can turn on the t.v so its definatly the tv.s Ir…. any hlep would be much appreciated . 

With such an utter useless controller - the speakers just take up space & power! I have a 1, 3 & 5 if anyone wants them - time to find a system that actually just work!!!! 

Guess there was another “update” (to improve the user experience- funny) - as the app has got even worse - if that is even possible. A proper tech firm should buy Sonos and fix the basics! 

I own an Arc, 2 Subs, 2 One's and a Move. Today my system performed a hardware update  but there is nothing listed on Sonos Website under release notes regarding this update. Is anyone familiar with what this hardware update included?Thanks in advance for any answers 

It can’t only be me! I have a 1,3 & 5 (gen 1 & 2) the sound is great…..but the app - with its S1 & S2 - keeps dropping speakers off - then “can’t connect” - is there a different way to control the speakers? 

Once again my frustration has reached a peak with this company. There are incessant problems and customer experience seems to be unimportant to the company.A week ago my SONOS Roam disappears from both the iPhone app and the desktop app, the usual run around begins digging out this and that “How to” article because I forgot exactly what I did two months ago the last time it failed, anyway SONOS don’t care.Yesterday too I was forced to update the iPhone app (but the desktop app worked fine!). So I upgraded it. Then I found that the desktop app too now had to be updated so I updated that.Today I see no devices listed in my desktop app and when I restart the desktop app I am told to “Register my products” and must now do this before I can use the app and my devices. I don’t want to stop what I’m doing (I work as a software developer and I’m very very busy) I just wanted to listen to a classical radio internet station.So I try the iPhone app and that immediately tells me I must finish sett

Are there any plans to build out he desktop app with more functionality; e.g., bringing Roon labs features? The desktop app seems stuck in a 1984 UI look/feel/function form? There is no recommendation engine or artist/track background information provided, like in Roon Labs. Roon Labs does not provide mobile functionality, you can only use it at home. Hence, two build outs are necessary.Thanks!

any one know what is the Power cable’s material? is it recycled material?
