Spaces & Setups

I have changed between Alexa and Google Assistant on my Ones about 4 times. All of the “fixes” from all the forums aren't working. I have tried EVERYTHING. Alexa just stops when it’s time to play the news and Google Assistant says “I don't understand”. Is there and update coming from Sonos to fix this anytime soon? 

To start…The Beam Ultra is an impressive upgrade over the Beam 2.Setup of the Beam Ultra is straight forward and very easy using the app (iOS_iPhone 17 Pro Max). No one should have difficulties unless their network is mis-configured or has been experiencing intermittent issues prior to installation. I upgraded from a Beam 2. Important note but hopefully most have TVs manufactured after 2012.The Beam Ultra is not compatible with CCFL-backlit TVs (manufactured 2004-2012)Read it under Tech Specs for Power and Connectivity.However, if your TV is an LED-backlit LCD with HDMI ARC the Beam Ultra will work. I connected my Beam Ultra to a 2010 Sony KDL-46HX800 that is LED-backlit LCD with HDMI ARC (soon to be replaced) 😂.Beam Ultra vs Arc UltraRoom Size (Feet/Meter):Length 25/7.62 Width 16/4.87 Height 8/2.44Sonos AccessoriesEra 300 surrounds Sub 4 x 2TuningAdvanced TruePlayVolume setting46 via the appTV size65 inch LGIMO the Beam Ultra does an excellent job with Dolby Atmos content.

This is more of a feature request, but could Qobuz please be added to the list of searchable and controllable music services via the new MCP connection to AI models. This is a really great feature, but annoying that it doesn’t work with Qobuz.

Like the title says, I have “Feel Good Piano” saved in my Spotify library. I don't have “Gentle Classical Piano Mix” saved in my Spotify library. But despite telling it to “play Feel Good Piano”, it will always play Gentle Classical Piano Mix”, on Spotify no matter how specific (or a-specific) I make the command. The only way to get it to obey is to tack on “on Spotify” at the end of my command. Which makes no sense, since both playlists are on Spotify. And no, neither playlist is in my Sonos favorites or anything.

I want to give a shout out to the Sonos engineering team for FINALLY moving the EQ settings to a spot that requires only one click instead of going into a deep dive into the system settings every time you wanna make a simple adjustment to bass or treble!  I suggested this more than a year ago.   I also like that new app version allows you to change the volume incrementally using the plus and minus icons and how it switches between volume and EQ settings, depending on where you click. Very good design. 

With Ace Ultra around the corner, the early feature list and reviews look genuinely strong. It seems like Sonos listened to feedback, and that deserves credit.But for those of us who bought the original Ace at or near full price, the launch leaves a sour taste. Ace Ultra is a clearly better product at the same price point, and resale value for the original Ace is already dropping fast. That's the nature of tech, and most of us accept it.Even harder to accept since it seems the original Ace isn't eligible for the Sonos trade-in program. Many of us bought in early, stuck with the product through its rough patches, and sent feedback that likely helped shape Ace Ultra. Being left out of the upgrade path makes it hard not to feel like we paid a premium to beta test.Just asking Sonos to recognize its early Ace customers, whether that's adding the original Ace to the trade-in program, offering a loyalty discount, or something else. It would go a long way toward keeping longtime fans like me i

Hallo all. Sonos is great. Especially the round the house music. Question - can a setting be put on for auto switch off? Quite often I wake up in the morning and realise I didn’t switch it off. Laziness / forget about it in other room / fall asleep on sofa etc. The sleep timer is useful but don’t want to remember to set it every day. Would be easier to say ‘always switch off at midnight’. Automated smart house so would like that to fit in also!Many thanks! 

Since installing the MacOS Golden Gate Beta, the Sonos app will not find the system.Firewall is off, so the only help in the Sonos app about that is of no effect.I know the app is vintage anyway, but has anyone worked out how to get out working?I know everyone will say use the web app, but it’s crap. I want the app and its native experience with notifications etc. 

Moderator Edit: This post was written/formatted by AITL;DR: Expose a local, opt-in microphone audio stream API so users can run voice assistants in any spoken language -- not just the handful Sonos and its partners support today.Submitted by: A Sonos ownerAffected products: Arc Ultra, Era 100/300, Beam (Gen 2), and all current mic-equipped playersCategory: Voice / PlatformSummarySonos players ship with excellent far-field microphone arrays, but voice control only works in a small set of supported languages, through first-party and partner assistants. Hundreds of millions of people who own (or would buy) Sonos cannot talk to it in their own language.We are asking Sonos to add a public, opt-in, locally-authenticated API that streams post-wake-word microphone audio to software on the user's own network. With access to that audio, the community and third parties can pair the mic with modern, open speech-to-text engines that already understand a hundred-plus languages and dialects -- and pl

I mostly use tidal as my fav streaming service. In tidal I can create a playlist that then will appear in my sonos app (Android).When in sonos if I search for a song I can add it to a sonos playlist... Great! But then where are my sonos playlists? I don't see any "my sonos" button in my home screen. The only way I can see my playlists is by adding a song to them and pressing on the notification I see among the lines of "the song has been added to 'your playlist'".

Long-time Sonos owner, first post here because I'd love to see this happen. My situation: My whole home runs on Home Assistant, including a custom local voice assistant that already controls my Sonos system (native integration + the new MCP).The workaround: I built a custom Alexa Skill just so I can say "Alexa, ask Jarvis to..." — using Amazon as a laggy, cloud-based relay to reach an assistant running on my own network.What I want is simple: Say my own wake word to my Sonos speaker and have the audio (or just the transcript) handed off to Home Assistant on my LAN, with the response played back on that same speaker.Here's why it's feasible: The MCP is already half the job done. Sonos 27 lets third-party AIs reach into my Sonos system. This is just the reverse direction. The HA community would build everything else (wake words, pipelines) — we only need an opt-in hook for the mic stream. I'd be happy to beta test anything in this direction.Thanks for considering it.

I use my Beam to watch tv and listen to music, requiring two very different sound profiles, which means every time I swap I have to adjust BassTrebleLoudnessSpeech enhancement Night soundSub levelThis is tedious, would it be possible to have a simple “button” to switch between profiles?Thanks, Neil. 

I have been trying to connect for some time now and have exhausted menu options between the two. Any help greatly appreciated. I have a new LG C5 TV connected to the Sonos amp via approximately 12 feet active HDMI cable running from the TV to the amp in the basement. Well, I can get sound initially though ultimately cannot switch to another tv audio source. I can never revert back to television speakers nor play music from the amp. Additionally I have found that this will put the amp into a protected mode (blinking orange). I did not have any power source connected to the HDMI cable (active). I have read throughout this forum the incompatibility between the CEC HDMI arc and the LG line. I also have two HDMI cables routed in opposite directions.  I have tried every menu option available on the amp via Sonos as well as the television. (Powering down and restarting as well). I even tried a new amp.  But before I go about changing the cables, (which would take considerable work to reroute)

On Alexa > More > Skills and Games > Search Alexa Skills for “Sonos”The skill does not appear.Confirmed with Sonos Support 22/09/26 - “Sonos and Amazon engineers are looking into the issue” You may be unaffected if you have previously enabled the skill (so it’s cached) I guess ?

SUGGESTION:I just found an inconsistency between the mobile app and the web app that possibly needs attention, to be aligned. The new iOS app is great in that if you tap the volume slider, you get a + and - to allow you to increase and decrease the volume. BUT if you click the volume slider on the web app, it immediately jumps to where you clicked! I just clicked the slider, expecting to see a + and - like i get on my phone, but instead instantly turned the speaker up from 2 to 51 (which can’t be good for the speaker), and gave myself and my family a fright until I could turn it down again…!If improvements are being implemented on the iOS app, can that intuitiveness be carried over to the web app for consistency and ease of UX?

Hi All, I am currently in the middle of an extension build, the end result will be open plan dining, then kitchen and an additional seating area at the end, this space is roughly 4.8m x 11m, 3m ceilings... I would like to incorporate speakers for music, and then TV/Movies and PS5 around the seating area. I like the sonos for simplicity and expanding at some point into the garden for summer BBQs.I was thinking either 1) Arc Ultra alone OR 2) Beam2, a sub mini and 2 x ERA 100s on the back wall (either side of the art on the picture) at the tv area, and a ERA 100 at the other end between the dining and kitchen for filling the area when only listening to music.We are at a point of electrics in the build, now I am thinking do I need 2 x 100s wall mounted at either side of the sofa for rear surround? My concern is that I obviously don't have the room to sit them behind the seating area, so will they be too much 'in your ear' for surround sound AND also if your lazying on the sofa listening t

Sonos please deactivate voice reply. It is so annoying and completely unnecessary. Awesome, great choice etc. Nobody wants it!!

This thread is aimed at all of us whom has a Sonos Roam product (and probably a few other Sonos products as well).This thread aims to solve the following issues:Sonos refuses to add google assistant as a voice assitant (getting stuck during onboarding) Google Assitant commands can only Stop and Say what it is playing, but not Resume / change it (timers still work) Sonos Roam only plays if directly adressed, otherwise responds with “I can not do this on this device”.I have already solved these issues, the step by step guide is posted bellow as a answer.The solution i found to these problems are as follows:Issue #1:This requierd me to do a full unlinking of the product to my google account,Remove assistant from Sonos app, as it tends to get added but not work Press the Cogwheel (Settings) in the top right Press General Settings Select Voice Assistants then remove Google Assistant from your device Remove the connection from the Google Home app Open the Google Home app Click on your p

Hey hey! My name is Nate, and this is my first post here! I wanted to describe what I’m working on, and see if anyone’s interested in it! It started out as a little project for me. I love having lyrics displayed for songs, and I wanted to figure out a way to have them display automatically. Turns out, it’s possible!  The current state of the project: •Seamless integration with any Sonos ecosystem•Connects to both Sonos and/or HomePods AUTOMATICALLY •Syncs with Philips Hue and Nanoleafs•Weather and photo Idle screens (Kinda like Aura Picture Frames)What you need:•Computer connected to WiFi/LAN, or Docker Container•Device that can access the internet browser (currently laggy on a fire stick, buy if you’re able to stick a mini pc behind a device it works like magic. I’ve gotten it to work on smart TVs, Xbox’s, and even just a chrome tab) (Do note that the help of AI was included in the making of this)I would love to hear feedback on the project, and if anyone would like to test, please le

I have sonos one with Alexa installed  when I ask Alexa to play a radio station it ill say now playing but i hear nothing

Looks like there’s some changes coming to Hue that gives further integration with Sonos. Use all Hue remotes and switches to control Sonos speakers. info is sparse at the moment but this was leaked on the Hue website so seems legit.  Lots going on at the moment!
