Spaces & Setups

I’m hoping to use 4 Sonos ceiling speakers (2 front, 2 rear) with one Sonos amp for tv viewing in a 21’ w x 18’ d room.I know many folks normally don’t recommend only using ceiling speakers for tv viewing because it’s odd to have sound coming from a different direction than to tv, but does trueplay and the virtual center channel in a larger room eliminate that problem?

Looks the names of my zones have been changed somehow in my sonos profile and it is causing some rooms to play music and one of my rooms I can’t get music to play. I looked at my setup and it looks like the names are different from what was originally set up I need to redo my configuration and start from scratch.  What is the best way to do that?

The Sonos Roam is constantly dropping from my home PC and iPhone. Yes, it’s set up properly via wifi with the Sonos app. Yes, I follow the instructions on the Sonos site (incl. factory reset). Yes, it’s fully charged. Etc, etc. I even get it to work sometimes (for several consecutive days)...until it doesn’t (dropping randomly with me doing absolutely nothing).I have looked in several Sonos community threads to investigate and a lot of feedback is not helpful (things I already did repeatedly) and usually condescending (the equivalent of “try ctrl-alt-del you dolt”).My gripes -Why does my Roam keep dropping randomly when using Bluetooth (on my phone or PC) - Actually, don’t answer this - I give up. Why does the Roam not have a Bluetooth button if it is intended to be primarily a Bluetooth device (using the on/off button to pair the device is an idiotic design flaw in my view)? Why do I need to link it with my wifi to get it started in any case (few if any other Bluetooth-enabled speaker

 Hi, I am having a kitchen refurb done in a couple of months and I'm thinking ahead about a sound system.  Sonos seems like a good solution, but I have no sonos products and could do with some advice please on what to get. The space is fairly large and open plan - see pic.  What I am looking to establish is:-What type of speakers?   Should I consider ceiling speakers? How many? Where would they be positioned? Do I need an amp?Some random info:-Stereo or Surround - I'm not into home cinema and so I reckon a stereo system will do unless surround sound will offer some advantages in filling the space? That said, will it be possible to even create a stereo field in a room of this shape? Perhaps surround is the best option? The system will need to be good enough to support a party so fairly loud! I like house, techno, D&B, bass, chillout, and ambient. Mainly electronic. Maybe ceiling speakers would help, but I thought (maybe incorrectly) that I'd need 6 of these and got very confused wh

I have two Sonos Connect devices (in different rooms) running S1. Device A is connected by ethernet and B by wifi. RIght now, my router reserves bandwidth both for the Ethernet connection to A and for the Wifi connection to A, along with the wifi to B. (The router recognizes 3 Sonos connections.) The problem is the router partitions bit-speed, and I'm at the limit of what my ISP can do. So I want to make the A connection eithernet only, bringing down the denominator by one in the division of bandwidth. Sonos does have a setting for that, but when I disable wifi to A, mysteriously B disappears from my system. Can anyone help me fix this? 

Hi Folks,I just got a Sonos Arc with a pair of Era100s and a Sub (gen3). I would love to pair it with my BenQ W770ST projector that has served me well for movie viewing for the past 10 years. I know, projectors aren’t exactly the intended companion for Sonos Arc, especially old ones without eARC, but my research prior to purchasing the Arc indicated that it was possible if I set it up with an HDFury Arcana. So great is my desire to have this work that I purchased one of those too.   I got my projector’s HDMI cord connected into the “HDMI out” port on the Arcana. I connected the HDMI from my Sonos Arc to the “eARC” port on the Arcana. A third HDMI is connecting my XboxOne to the “HDMI in” port on the Arcana. I initiated the set-up, which first asked me to turn on CEC on my “TV” (in this case projector). Fortunately my projector has the option to turn on CEC. However, the next part asks me to enable Audio Out on my “TV,” and here is where I’m currently hung up. I can find no Audio Out op

Have 2 Sonos Ones that have worked well wirelessly for years. I have some devices in my house I prefer to hardwire and need more ports so added a network switch to the router. Now the speakers don’t work/connect. The Sonos speakers are the only wireless devices in the house that don’t work now. Spent over an hour on phone with Sonos, restarting, removing, reconnecting, etc. No success and they were unable to help me. Said to call my internet provider for help configuring the router settings (who wants to charge for support with no guarantee of success).Any suggestions for how to configure router settings?

New to the Sonos ecosystem so this may be a stupid question 🫣 have an Arc, sub gen 3, connected to 2 Era 100s as surrounds. Let’s say I’m watching a movie and accidentally touch the volume buttons on one Era 100, does that throw off the volume of just that one speaker or does it do nothing? 

I’m thinking of buying a pair of Sonos Architecture speakers to use outdoors but I’m not comfortable with leaving them in the elements because the grills will eventually rust and the speakers will break down sooner so I plan to disconnect them and bring them in after use. Then I thought why not just spend a few more bucks and buy a pair of Play 5 which I’ll be able to use indoors and bring them outdoors when needed. My only concern with the Play 5 is if it rains while I’m using them outside they could get wet if I’m not able to detach them and bring them in fast enough. Will any amount of water penetration ruin the Play 5 or do they have some level of water resistance. Thanks. 

I confirmed “Radiko” not in service.But Japanese customer want to use “Radiko.”Are there any plan to add “Radiko” in the future?

One my friend is travelling from Houston to Pakistan and he is willing to bring Sonos era 300 stands pair, colour white. which i will purchase online and deliver to his address in US, the only problem i will face will be if my order is pushed back.

I have a Sonos Beam and sub connected to my TV ; it works very well . tried adding a pair of SL 1’s but it thinks they are a separate system and I cannot group them with the beam. How do I rectify ?

Hello, I have located a TV and Sonos beam in a separate room to the sonos amp and a HDMI matrix that connects to multiple HDMI input sources. These sources are connected to the HDMI matrix and the TV is one of the outputs that connect to the matrix over ethernet connection via the TV's HDMI ARC port.I'm wondering if I can connect the Beam to the Amp via ethernet in one of the Amp ports, connecting the other Amp port to the network. And then use the Amps HDMI port to connect with the Sonos converter to optical audio to connect to the matrix?My objective is to group the Beam and speakers connected to the amp together and have them play sound based on switched devices on the HDMI matrix, without any audio delay between the Beam and speakers.Many thanks for any help you can provide.

My System Runs flawlessly when the “Associated Product” is a Wired Sonos Play Bar (Gen 1) wired as part of a 5.1 System.Regularly the “Associated Product” switches to a Play 1 (Gen1) on the Sonosmesh. This causes songs to skip to next track halfway through etc … all the regularly sonos issues. How Can I lock the “Associated Product” to a wired ethernet producted??

Hi.I have a Sounder and am thinking of purchasing a Project T1 turntable. What other unit do I need to make this work with my sounder?ThanksRon

Hi all, I am trying to achieve an atmos setup in living room area. I have the Sonos Arc, Sub (gen 3) and an Amp powering rear in wall sonance. I believe that this will achieve the 5.1.2 system ? I would like to know if I add additional pair of sonance in ceiling speakers to the same amp, will this still achieve the dolby atmos or is it unnecessary to have the ceiling speakers ? 

Can i connect a Move and a Roam?

I have Sonos and it is on its own network yet guests are now accessing my system from the guest network. If they are on Wi-Fi they can access my Sonos system. This is new and something I can’t figure out how to fix.  any help is appreciated. I have a netgear orbi system.

It is only cosmetics but still bothers a little :) Why no picture for OneSL when Arc, Sub, 300s are showing a picture - Is it because they are now deemed obsolete? I can see this when I go to Sonos.com > My Account > System

Hi - I am at a loss on how to connect the above products.My Epson LS800 UST has 2 HMDI ports. HDMI1 and HDMI2 (ARC) (It also has a HDMI 3 for Gaming, but that's not part of this concern.My Denon AVR - X2800 as the usual HDMI port plus one HDMI (ARC) port.The SONOS Soundbar ARC has a HDMI ARC port.The Cable Box has one HDMI1 port.I am currently configuring connections as follows:Epson LS800 HDMI2 (ARC) to the Denon HDMI (Arc)Epson LS800 HDMI1 to the cable box (HDMI1)So.. Where do I connect the SONOS HDMI Arc port?(I have previously connected the SONOS to the EpsonLS800 UST HDMI (Arc) port and that works fine (for sound from Sonos). But then I have an available HDMI (ARC) port on the Denon and no available HDMI (ARC) port on the EPSON (since SONOS is connected there) If I then connect the EPSON HDMI 1 port to the Denon HDM1 (cable/sat) port where do I connect the HDMI1 port from the cable Box?
