Spaces & Setups

 Hello everyone,I have an Xbox SX, a Panasonic TX-65JZ1500 TV and a Sonos Arc home theater (Arc + Sub + One x2). I encounter a problem with this configuration when I want to run a game at 120 Hz and in Dolby Atmos.In this configuration, the sound skips regularly and sizzles, while I have no sound problem when I set the console to 60 Hz. Or else I have to sacrifice the sound part (use the PCM for example) to keep the 120 Hz.It's extremely frustrating. Do you have any advice for me on how to enjoy my games without sacrificing sound or display frequency ?

I’ve got an old ZP80 that I use in the garage on its own S1 system.It works fine except today when I tried to add a new service I couldn’t log in. It said my password was wrong, which it wasn’t but I reset it anyway. And it still won’t let me log in.Logging in to my account elsewhere, including the S2 app, works fine.Can anyone shed any light on this please?

In you are using Home Assistant, I found this great HACS for Sonos. https://github.com/johanfrick/custom-sonos-cardIt allows easy grouping/ungrouping, ,individual and group volume control, quick my sonos or stations selector.  

Hello guys, My budget is tight but my husband wants a sound system for his birthday. Suggest me a quality one and in a medium price range?

Wasn’t sure if this would be of interest to anyone, but I recently had a chance to play with and review a VIolet Smartswitch Lite. It’s given me Sonos control at the wall switch as well as Philips Hue control. I’m looking forward to Http requests because then I can wire it into node-red and home-assistant, but if anyone’s interested in my write up it’s below:https://www.thesmarthomebook.com/2021/11/10/violet-smartswitch-lite-review-set-up/

Been using sonos products for around ten years. Recently I’m absolutely sick to the back teeth of how unstable the app is for connecting devices. Particularly the move. Had it 2 years, not changed my internet provider or moved my modem. Sick of needing to find the move on the network. No logic to it. Just a bad service. 

Hello Sonos family - I am building a home and need help determining how many Sonos in-ceiling speakers I need. They will be used primarily for listening to music (I will get a bar for the TV). Below is a breakdown of the first floor with the outdoor patio. Everywhere you see a blue circle is where I am assuming I need a speaker. The interior space is about 42 feet long from the red stove on the left to the fireplace all the way on the right and about 32 feet wide (16 feet for the den area and 16 feet for the room below the den.The outdoor patio: this one seems pretty straight forward and I will want to do two outdoor speakers in the top corners. Should these be Stereo or Mono? The indoor space: I have heard the in-ceiling speakers are pretty loud. Therefore, do I need 2 in the den and 2 in the kitchen or can I do one and one as mono speakers? The two rooms below the den and kitchen (bar and office) will each have one mono speaker but let me know if this is the best thing to doLooking f

Do you think we will notice a difference?

OK. I just bought a pair of SYMFONISK bookshelf speakers, great price, nice looking, Sonos electronics, what could be better? Basically these are to be used as stereo and surrounds in the lounge in our holiday home in Spain. Smallish lounge etc. Perfect behind the settee facing the Beam under the TV. One thing I didn't check, & why would I as my HomePod Minis do this automatically, was when not used via the TV & Beam they’d perform instantly as ordinary stereo speakers. After all, who’d want a pair of good looking decent speakers sitting there all day doing nothing? Sigh. So after creating a stereo pair I join them as surrounds with the Beam, easy peasy. Then play my music. They're silent, gulp.Then I think, oh no Sonos strikes again! Yep. It’s all or nothing. Just like the ‘not being able to join two different speakers as a pair’ even though the kit inside is identical etc’, and all the other can’t do’s in the Sonos range. And despite ‘updating’ technology. So I eventually nav

I saw that this answer/suggestion has been closed but I think it’s time to realize that customers with thousands of dollars invested into a SONOS system would like to see the functionality of a MOVE system paired with the PLAY 5 Subwoofer once and for all. Yes, the MOVE is designed for playability around the house and in outdoor settings but there are those of us that might have need for the MOVE to be used with a PLAY 5 Subwoofer. SONOS, get to work on this!

It's easy to add a Bluetooth playback device to Logitechs Media Server.  Several independent apps provide playback which can be routed to Bluetooth headsets and or speakers.  Adds another facility for using LMS across devices.Sonos insistence on a closed system might have a certain commercial logic but does inhibit innovation. 

Hello All, I’m a little surprised this hasn’t appeared to come up.I have a Sonos Port connected to my AudioLab Stereo Amplifier. I use the 12v trigger to turn on but I’m also looking for a way to control volume on my AudioLab using the Sonos app. Ability to select the proper input (Dig2) would be a bonus and nice to have. I envision this making use of some external device that can read the Sonos commands and output via an IR blaster.  I tried building an Arduino based interface box that almost worked but my limited programming knowledge and time prevented success. I looked at something like a Harmony, but with that being ended by Logitech it seems like a waste of efforts. Plus I’d really like to use the Sonos app primarily. I don’t necessarily want a smart home interface just for this one function. It seems a waste and semi costly.  I’m open to any thoughts or solutions.  Thank you.

Which karaoke machine do you guys recommend to work with sonos

Hi I had this problem with my Music Library on my Synology NAS server. Eventually the Sonos Tech Team came up with an answer that worked for me. The problem was I only had one user account for the NAS server and all my Sonos Speakers and iMac and PC etc used this account. It appears the NAS drive thought this was a security risk and stopped my two One SLs for accessing the drive. The other speakers worked OK. The solution was to create another user account specifically for Sonos. As soon as this was created and the library rebuilt with the new account all the speakers worked correctly and I can play music from the library from any speaker. Hope this helps with some of these access problems.

I see the subject of unexpected/unwanted explicit lyrics appearing through Sonos Radio stations has been raised a few times over the years and I was wondering where Sonos stood on the issue and if there are any plans to enable filtering?For some father-daughter bonding today my 5yr old asked me to dance with her so we put the ‘Hit List’ station on and were having a great time (my dancing could do with some filtering but that’s a subject for another thread!) when the song Kiss Me More by Doja Cat came on... A lovely little number but one which got a little fruity as things went on to the point where I couldn’t assume her brain wasn’t picking up on the words and phrases that I don’t think she’s quite ready for just yet so had to mute it until then next track came on (which then just drew more attention to the song we’d just had and I’m sure she was mentally ‘rewinding’ in an attempt to decompose what she’d taken in and work out what all the fuss was about!).Any chance of one day being ab

Where do I find the songs I have added to my Sonos Favorites on the iPhone App.I am sure like many Sonos users we add songs to Sonos Favorites.On the desktop controller - it is at the top of the Select a Music Source page that you see when first opening the app.I have been unable to find Sonos Favorites as a source in the iPhone app.Help!

I really wish sonos would release a 7.2 Surround sound package I would prefer 11.2 But I guess that's pushing it And I wish I could hook up more subs for underneath the couch

I updated my ipad and iphone operating systems (as usual) and now SONOS will not play my (3rd party) streaming radio stations. Problem appears to be an incompatibility issue with iOS 15.4.1. I can’t be the only one with this problem. What’s up?

I just ordered a sonos amp from the sonos website. Backorder until late june. Ok no problem, everything is late, delayed, backordered in this countySo why are they available for next day deliver on amazon? I do not think these are refurbished or used products. And they have return policy to amazon as well.So what gives? These ok to get on amazon?

I have a pair of speakers that are 30 years old now and looking a bit ropey.They are Denon SC-M1 2 way loudspeakers.  They claim to be 8 Ohm, 100W..  Used to be part of a stereo system that has long gone.I have recently upgraded to a SONOS AMP from the old ZP100.I mainly use this for a turntable as well as my music library.Thinking I would like something new and wondered if there were any suggestions.Will I get the same power in a smaller speaker (imagine so).  Maybe I should stick with the mid-size of these speakers.  Or maybe I should go for a set of big 5ft speakers.Open minded about it but looking for a good match that I can crank up from time-to-time.

It seems a shame that I cannot add a second sub to two Fives. I already own two subs.  I have no interest in home cinema but think that a second sub may enhance my 2.5 channel music system. Any chance that this feature could be added?

Interesting article positing that the Dolby vs DTS battle is over, and Dolby are the winner.https://www.whathifi.com/features/is-the-dts-vs-dolby-war-effectively-overThere is a new soundbar that has no DTS support at all, and the quote from the maker (not Sonos) is:“The reason for this is that DTS is not used by any of the streaming service companies and therefore is limited to people watching DVD/Blu-ray connected to the TV with the audio passed through the ARC/eARC. However the vast majority of TV companies do not support this on the ARC/eARC.”(By “vast majority” I assume they mean Samsung and LG, so they have a point)Thoughts?

Maybe not what everyone here wants to hear (no pun intended), but I have just purchased a One SL (awaiting another One to Stereo Pair) for my office workspace at home - I already have a Home Cinema set-up with a Beam and 2 Play 1’s. I am absolutely blown over by the SL and cannot wait for the other One to be delivered, because if the other One delivers as much as the SL does at the moment, I will be in music nirvana.
