Spaces & Setups

In the app my roam shows as offline and occasionally it decides to show itself! Is anyone else having this problem? Oh, and the battery life is horrendous so far. If it doesn't improve very soon I suppose I'll have to take it back. Can anyone recommend a good Alexa enabled speaker for the bathroom?? 😳

We are about to do an outdoor TV / audio set up. I just want to verify what I’ve learn and hopefully get some people’s input here. From what I’ve gathered…Option 1 - It sounds like we can either get a television that is bluetooth capable and then pair that with whichever individual speakers we would like.. correct?Option 2 - We can get a non-bluetooth TV and a Sonos sound-bar.  Then additional speakers will connect via the soundbar. Any suggestions here?  Is my thinking correct?  Anyone have input as the best way to go in utilizing Sonos for an outdoor television set up? Thanks! 

Hello everyone.Just bought ARC + Sub gen3 for my living-room and connected them after Trueplay tunning.After streaming music from Spotify via airplay, I've noticed I am reaching 70-75% of the volume to hear loud and clear, although in store which is x100 bigger than my living room, the arc managed to be even louder with it's volume.What am I doing wrong here? arc and sub are with version 14.4, no volume-limit applied, same volume via appleMusic service, same volume from ARC-HDMI connection from appleTv

I’m a new user of Sonos and purchased a Port to add to my analog amplifier and old speakers, enjoying Apple Music without computer apparently all right.  It’s just great! But I started to wonder, if I connect my existing (external) DAC to Sonos Port via RCA LINE-IN, does it mean the music signal (from computer) goes through DAC twice (external AND internal), of the internal DAC of Port is automatically by-pathed?  I wanted to make sure, before I buy a NAS and move all the music file in my Mac to it and connect it to the router via Ethernet,

the play menu and the library should show the length of the items listed. this would greatly assist in selecting items, e.g. different versions of the same songALSO - personally I am very frustrated with having to use my phone to setup the systems.  i have a dedicated desktop for my music and you have made it almost defunct :(

See attached article. It’s very interesting that Sonos is recognizing the need to focus and also differentiate its home theater products and potential services. Excited to see where this goes but just want it quicker.  https://apple.news/AWLpysg2gQ6OfPDFMvMAb_g

What are you thoughts on a modification to the Sonos software I believe should happen. i think it was be so much better that in the event of a power blip / power out that a ‘room’ should automatically connect to the last played music source instead of having to select music, when the power is returned.thanksfor your thoughtsPeter  

Use Case: As a customer of Sonos and other speaker products I’d like to connect multiple dissimilar products with little hassle. 

Hi all,I am needing some assistance with trying to get sound from my Sonos Amp zone in the Kitchen to play with my living room.My setup right now is as follows:Sonos Port connected to Receiver using audio out (Sonos Port) & Audio in (receiver) TV connected to Receiver via eArcWhen I am playing sound from TV to receiver via eArc, how do I go about adding my zone in the kitchen to play along with my living room speakers?  What is the proper input/output methods to getting this to work?Thank you!

Hello. I am posting this here since Sonos prevents comments on older threads.  Anyway, I am trying to determine what the official ohm range of the Sonos AMP is. I’m assuming it is 4-8 ohms or 250 watts at 4 ohm and 125 watts at 8 ohm. If this is the case, what I’m not understanding is how Sonos recommends wiring 6 speakers in parallel (when using their architectural speakers). Aren't these 8 ohm speakers? Wouldn’t a total of 6 speakers wired in parallel create a system that is only 2.6 ohms? Am I missing something here?  The Sonos Documentation that recommends wiring 6 speakers can be found here: https://support.sonos.com/s/article/4759?language=en_US Thanks to anyone that can help.

> > > > > > Maybe I'm being harsh, but wouldn't it have made sense for Sonos to raise memory sizes from year to year as memory became much cheaper? Take a look this web  at how little Play:5 Gen1 had to begin with.

I just bought a new Sony TV Bravia, in which I plug an Apple TV. I have a Sonos Roam in another room (kitchen). When I am looking at a movie there is a latency (delay) in the sound between TV and Roam that makes it impossible to use.The Apple TV is connected to the network via Ethernet, but the Roam of course with the WiFi of the same network. Is that the issue?In fact with the previous Tv the sound was going to a Linn amp, and not trough the Apple TV. How to solve the problem? A Sonos app in the TV?SuonO app, but every comments are negative about it?I tried to connect directly the Sony TV to the Roam but  it didn’t work. Thank you for your help.

Seems that since people would have to replace components when digital tech exceeds capabilities of legacy equipment (ie S1 v S2), a Modular approach might be better to upgrade your system products.  Separate the digital processing aspects from the audio/analog-power systems and provide modular pieces.  Provide a way to plug and play upgrades.  This way you may be able to update processing without people having brick components or separate between controller system versions and pay for replacing a perfectly good audio portion.  You might also be able to release audio system module upgrades as well.  Of course, this may not be your current business model, but some good System Engineering could help you solve these business issue problems. 

My Music Library is refusing to update, on both scheduled and manually triggered.This seems relatively recent. When I trigger a manual update, it says that my NAS drive is no longer available, despite it being able to browse and play music from it.This is effecting all installs of my controllers, on Mac, PC, Amazon Kindle and Android Phone. I’ve got multiple Play:1, a Play: 3, and Connect and a Beam connected to the network.I had thought about removing and trying to add the device again, but I’m concerned that it will just not find it.Any ideas?

There’s about a million other threads on this.  I’d love to know what the official solution is if there is one.  I haven’t seen anyone from Sonos owning up to the problem and giving out a solution (unless I’m missing it?).  The Beam will not play audio with a Samsung TV.  It will, but only briefly and when the TV goes to sleep and comes back on it doesn’t play through the Beam anymore.  This has been the most frustrating setup of any Sonos product I’ve ever had.  They are usually very simple and user-friendly, but I have spent all day on this and it seems like many others have as well.  Got this as a Christmas gift and feels like I just wasted $500.

Setting up a large room 25’ x 50’. 85” TV monitor at one end 25’ wide. Ceilings are 16’. Considering:ARC Sub G32 Fives on either side of TV2 One SLs as rear surroundsThe Fives are mainly for music, but would like to use with TV and ARC if possible. Want the Sub to work at all times. Will this set up work for a large room? Would a second Sub make sense in such a large space? 

Hi everyone, I have read that the Arc is designed to go below the TV, that there are upward firing speakers for the Atmos support, that home cinema speakers should be positioned around ear height..But in my set up I have a TV on the wall above a gas log fireplace. There isn’t room to fit the Arc under the TV because it will be too close to the fireplace and will get too hot. My question is how bad will it be having the Arc above the TV? I’m an 80/20 kind of guy and probably don’t have an audiophile’s ear, so will I notice much difference? Thanks in advance!Gavin

Ive been reading that Sonos is designed to connect to TV’s, not so much to Projectors.This is my epson 2250 https://www.amazon.com/Epson-Projector-Streaming-Enhancement-Interpolation/dp/B08GL4GB2MI have a Sonos Amp with two ceiling speakers and soon to be sub. Nothing is installed at this time.I read in another thread that I can use this box https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Audio-Stereo-Extractor-Converter/dp/B07KRWYN4R/ and the optical audio adapter https://www.sonos.com/en-us/shop/optical-audio-adapter to hard wire sound from the projector to the Amp.My Epson projector works with Fire Stick, and has an extra hdmi out.Do i attach the box to the spare HDMI on the projector, or inline with the Firestick? Any of that make sense? Thanks. 

Hi all!I’m about to dive in the Sonos ecosystem and buy the Arc + Sub Gen3 + Ones or Ones SL for surround satellites.Yet, I have one thing that keeps echoing in my head and gets me a bit reluctant: how well does that glossy finish of the Sub Gen 3 holds up with time?Being the sub a speaker that’s on the ground, it is prone to get hit in various situations, like when vacuuming the room, or other daily situations.I fear the glossy finish turns into a nightmare of scratches that would ruin the looks of it.How well does is cope with this?I deeply appreciate your inputs.

Hi does this angle and distance to TV work for the upfiring speakers of the Sonos Arc? Thank you in advance!

The latest MacOS update to 12.3 appears to allow the connection to Apple Music. 

Hello: What is the difference between the ARC model, the ARCG1EU1BLK and the ARCG1EU2BLK? 

Does anyone know or can confirm Atmos is fine xed with 15.4? 

I’ve had my SONOS setup for a number of years.  Hell, I’ve even enrolled on the beta test programme (I wouldn’t bother if I were you...you don’t get anything back from SONOS other than so many questions and video “proof” of the issues one has with the software!  Even though I am retired I am having to spend HOURS of my time trying to get the bugs and limitations of the software ironed out...all for no reward!  My biggest issue is that the software seems incapable of coping with the volume of my music library (stored on a local NAS Drive/Server.  It can’t search more than 66,000 tracks, and causes all sorts of issues if I try and add another music library (for my classical collection, stored on a different network share!).  I realise this is all trying to direct me towards utilising a streaming service, but I have amassed my music collection over 40 years, so don’t see why I should pay a monthly subscription to have access to music, which I already own!  Is anyone aware of software whic
