Speakers

I’m looking for some advice on getting the best possible audio performance from a Sonos system.I’m particularly interested in recommended settings for improving sound quality, maintaining a stable connection, and reducing interruptions when streaming music. I’d also like to know whether network configuration, Wi-Fi performance, or speaker placement can make a noticeable difference.For those who have used Sonos systems for a while, what settings or troubleshooting steps have made the biggest difference to your overall listening experience?Any practical tips or recommendations would be appreciated.

Hi!I own 2 Sonos 1 gen 2 since many years ago and I’ve recently been contemplating to buy 1 or 2 more speakers. But after digging around it seems Sonos 1 is no longer produced. If I buy for example era 100 will it give significantly different quality of sound that it will spoil the vibes when the speakers on or do you believe that it’s okey to mix and match different gen of speakers?

Any hope of a new Sonos 5 speaker for hifi listeners? It seems Sonos are concentrating more on surround speakers and portable.I would another high end hifi speaker.And they never replaced the Sonos play 3.Still have my stereo pair.Great sound.

I have a huge property where I’ve got 37 Sonos devices of various product all hardwired except for my subwoofers. Is there a way to get past or something I can do to jailbreak the limitation of 32 devices because of the universal plug-in play built into the software.or if somebody has a better suggestion idea or information, I would love to hear about it other than creating a second network

I ended up with my Era-300s sitting behind an inch high trim piece, didn't hurt the sound but didn't look great. As the stands here would be out of sight appearance wasn't a big problem, short, sturdy and a solid mount were though.Looked at a number on Amazon and picked inexpensive ones, pretty quick delivery from Nancheng, CN but they are very well  made and attractive. Several similar ones are available at varying prices and delivery speed.The ones I bought: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FW7Y29ZKConsidered: (Comments are for my space)Look similar, cost more: https://www.amazon.com/HeyMoonTong-Acrylic-Table-Wireless-Speaker/dp/B0C4HJ3P95/ref=sr_1_4Nice but too tall: https://www.amazon.com/Wooden-Desktop-Speaker-Compatible-Decorations/dp/B0CJRKKBC3/ref=sr_1_3Too short: https://www.amazon.com/lmrwTO-Desktop-Speaker-Compatible-Management/dp/B0GYRJL4Q6/ref=sr_1_5_sspaNice, screw mounts too:https://www.amazon.com/Flexson-Stand-Sonos-Black-Single/dp/B0D2RXKGBC/ref=sr_1_8 Not what I was lookin

I have factory reset my old Play 1s, can I now gift these to my daughter to set up in her new home on her own account/wifi network?

I have 5 older Sonos speakers, all require being plugged in, If I want to add speakers can I buy the newer wireless and will they all be able to be grouped together and played at the same time? Thank you!

I own roughly $2,800 worth of current-generation Sonos hardware:- 9 × Sonos One SL- 1 × Sonos Sub- 1 × Sonos Play:3 All on the same LAN as a self-hosted music server (Navidrome, whichspeaks the Subsonic API). Every one of these speakers is physicallycapable of streaming HTTP audio from that server, and Sonos used tosupport exactly this through the custom music service / SMAPImechanism plus the Sonos Desktop Controller.I would like a supported, first-party way to add my local music serveras a music service on these speakers, without:  - exposing my private music server to the public internet,  - paying for a third-party iOS controller app to do the registration,  - or running discontinued Sonos Desktop Controller software.Here is what I have already tried and why each path is currently blocked:  1. Auto-register via SMAPI from a local bonob bridge on my LAN     (10.0.1.204): the speakers' /xml/device_description.xml is     reachable, but the SOAP registration call to port 1400 is     re

I have a Dining Room/Kitchen room, and open to that is the adjacent Living Room. Currently I have two Sonos Ones paired with an original Sub. I have ordered a Beam 2/mini-sub/2 Era 100’s for the Living Room, which is where the TV is. It is sad that Sonos does not let me share the Sub with Both rooms, but what are you going to do? My guess is that the original room DR/K, which is where I play music from Spotfiy, would benefit most from the Era 100s. If that were true, then I would make that room with the Era 100s and the original Sub. The Beam, for the TV room, would be paired with the mini-Sub and the Ones. Do you think this is sound reasoning? Finally, would it ever be a good idea, musically, to play music to both rooms simultaneously? Each room is about 12’ x 12’

I would like to request a software feature that allows users to quickly switch Era 300 speakers between two configurations:1. Era 300 x2 as a stereo pair for music listening2. Beam / Arc home theater setup with Era 300 x2 as surround speakersMy main use case is music first, movies second.I started with one Era 300 and was very satisfied with the sound. After adding a second Era 300 as a stereo pair, the experience became excellent. For stereo music, the soundstage, impact, and overall sense of scale were much better than expected.However, after adding a Beam and configuring the two Era 300 speakers as surrounds, the experience became less flexible. Dolby Atmos content is enjoyable and the home theater setup works well for movies and Atmos music. But for regular stereo music, the front sound is now mainly handled by the Beam, and the overall impact is lower than when the Era 300 pair was used as the main stereo system.In this setup, I do not always feel that Era 300 speakers are necessa

We have an existing Arc which shows up in the voice assistant for Alexa. I’ve set up two new era 100 sl but they aren’t appearing in the voice assistant in settings. It says that if a product is missing, to add it in Settings But where?

Is it possible to install a Beam 2 soundbar at my mother-in-laws home, and still be able to control it with my Sonos app that I use at my residence for my Sonos products? (Of course I would need to be at her home with her own WiFi).In other words, Is there a way to do this with my current Sonos app that I use at my home for my products, so I may go to her residence to and control her Sonos devices, too while I’m there?Thank you.

My Playbase is cycling through all the light colours but is working Ok.

How do I factory reset a port device? 

I have a Sonos Symfonisk (from Ikea). It works on Wi-Fi but not Bluetooth. If I’ll buy a SONOS Era 300 and I ‘ll  connect it to the SYMFONISK, will the system (2 speakers symfonisk +ERA 300) work on Bluetooth? thanks best regards

Hi I'm done screwing around with Sonos BS and all the money they swindled from me on these speakers.  Has anyone had any luck finding a class action attorney?  Any suggestions on a law firm to contact?  It's time for us to take action.Thanks.

I am setting up a stereo pair with Sonos One speakers on both my bedside tables. Call them A and B.  As I face my bed, speaker A is on the left and speaker B on the right. But when I am in bed, speaker B is heard on my left and A is heard on the right. I want to use this stereo pair to listen to Binaural Beats, which plays music in a slightly different frequency for each ear. So my question is -do I call speaker B the left and speaker A the right?

I’m trying to get better sound balance without cluttering the room. Any placement tips that worked well for you?

I just got a Sonos Line-In Adapter which I want to use to attach between the analog line out of a small radio and a laptop. I then want to pass the signal through the laptop to a bluetooth amp.I started out first just trying to get the signal to the laptop and selecting the audio capture device with VLC. I had just one option on the drop down list, hw,0,0.  I selected that and could hear the signal with earphones and it sounded OK.I later ran into some issues making the bluetooth connection and it looks to be an issue with a missing dependency. I tried a number of suggestions and uninstalled and reinstalled some drivers, etc. It still doesn’t connect to the amp via bluetooth.I went back to VLC and the signal from the radio through the Sonos adapter. I noticed two things. First there was lots of static and noise and I could hear the signal, but it was very weak. I also noticed in the drop down box there were two options listed, hw,0,0 and hw1,0. The first one had all the noise and if I

Hi all,I’m looking for a bit of real-world advice before upgrading part of my Sonos setup.I currently have: 2 × Play:1 1 × Play:3 Sonos One Sonos Port Era 300 We’ve recently switched over to Apple Music and are mostly using AirPlay / Apple Music integration alongside the Sonos app.I’m considering replacing the two Play:1s with two Era 100s, and I’m trying to get a feel for whether the upgrade is genuinely worthwhile.A couple of questions I’d really appreciate views on:1. Sound quality:Is the jump in sound quality from Play:1 → Era 100 actually noticeable in day-to-day listening, particularly with Apple Music (lossless / Atmos where applicable)? Or is it more of an incremental improvement?2. Apple Music & stability:Since switching to Apple Music, I’ve noticed occasional dropouts or odd behaviour when: Switching between the Sonos app and controlling playback directly from Apple Music Adding/removing rooms mid-playback For those who’ve moved from older speakers (Play:1 / Pla
