Speakers

I got a pretty good deal on some play 1’s. I am wondering if anyone has used these in a covered lanai.  It is a permanent roof built as part of the house. There’s no chance of getting wet. However the humidity in south Florida is fairly high. I currently use a connect amp and outdoor speakers. But I think the play 1’s have better sound.  I’m looking for anyone that has done that in this humidity and the success of it.  

Hi there,I am suddenly unable to group speakers. Individually they all work fine, but unable to group speakers with the most recent app. Also, “manually grouping” by holding the play button for 3 sec, doesn’t seem to work anymore. How can I make this work again ? Any help is appreciated.

Headed on vacation. Wondering if I can lug along my two Play 1’s, connect my computer without using a vacation router of any ilk? Thanks for your help.

Beam gen1 Not add in sonos 

Hi everyone.We are doing some work at home and sometimes there is dust. To protect the two Fives I cover them with plastic bags. When the work is finished in the evening I remove the bags and relax with some good music…I noticed that the Fives, turned off and connected to the electrical outlet, develop a little heat. Could the bag be a problem? As I said, during the listening the bags are removed.Thanx.

I am starting hate Sonos.  my sonos sub mini appears in the app. But always says not connected. And all steps given such as turn on n off , refresh wifi all this just dont seem to work. Even the chat with sonos staff is of no use. It still does not work. Is anyone having or experiencesd same issue. I intend to take sonos to court as this absoutely not close what was expected from best. Its very frustrating experienxe pls help 

9 years or more have passed since this functionality was requested for the first time. I found many threads that treat this issue. Is it possible that Sonos has not yet found a way to manage it?I cannot buy further devices if this issue is not resolved ...and please do not replay “by design”… thanksbye

Hi , i have lot of cds in my library and I want to play them in my stereo Sonos era 100 system I’ve seen a usbc-rca cable in the Sonos website but seems like this will produce analog signal rather than cd digital audio quality .  how and what do you suggest to buy in orther to play music in high quality from cd to Sonos era 100 system ? thanks a lot 

Under the upgrade offer I have requested a shipping label, in my account, for old speakers to be recycled.   I have however not received the shipping label. All email and address details are correct and the spam folder was checked. Could Support assist?   

I just added a new Symfonisk lamp to my Sonos Network but it refuses to play Apple music. When I try to play anything from Apple Music I get the error “connection to apple music was lost”. It tries the next few songs in the playlist and then stops trying to play the playlist. Everything else plays fine on the Symfonisk speaker, Tune-in radio, Spotify and  Sonos radio.It is connect to my Ubiquiti Access Points and has 100% signal strength. I have also tried removing the Apple Music account from Sonos and re-adding it, but that did nothing.I can play Apple Music ok on my Sonos Ports, it has occasionally done this in the past with Apple Music on my other devices but I have managed to get it to work.Any ideas, I can try cabling it in as a test, but I bought a WIFI product and expect it to work. 

If there’s a Beam , Sub, and A pair of One SLs set up with a tv , can the Ones be removed and then set up as a different room to play the tv sound but not as surrounds? A new cigar shop has these speakers set up and the owner would like to have the Ones play the tv sound but not as surrounds. The Ones are by a different tv then the Beam. Hope this makes sense. 

I used to be able to connect to one of my Sonos Bluetooth speakers and then link the rest of them inc non Bluetooth like Sonos 5 through the app to have the full surround experience.Helpful for smaller more niche apps or Bluetooth products like my record player. With the new app update this no longer seems to work.help!

HiWe have installed Nokia Beacon 1 units for our wifi mesh network, and now I cannot configure my Play 1 units.I have tried both with and without cabled network. I managed once to get one unit online with cable, but after I tried to use it on wifi, I have not been able to get it online again.Anyone with experience with Nokia Beacons?

I bought a home where previous owner had sonus system.  He took everything but ceiling speakers that aren’t sonus.  He said they connected to sonus but the app can’t see them.  How do i connect?  

Unable to transfer ownership on my play gen 2 any ideas

I’ve bought many thousands of pounds worth of Sonos. The new update must have been written and tested by completely incompetent amateurs.Better companies sort things out when it’s obvious that an update is a complete disaster. Not Sonos apparently. I’m surprised there’s not a class action suit going on. Literally millions and millions of consumers spend turned into junk.own up - you’ve messed it up. Now tell us you’re going to fix it!!

Well, had my workroom dual Sonos ERA 300s set up in stereo pair with sub and all was well.  New app was automatically downloaded to my iPhone and lost the system.  Nothing recognized.  Finally, after trying to reconnect multiple times had to reset all 3 units (2 ERA 300s and Sub Gen 3) to factory defaults.  Even then a hell of a time to reconnect.  Had to create a new room for them and finally got them paired.  Plays through Amazon Music fine.  But trying to play iPhone music (Apple) through Bluetooth is no joy.  Can pair but shows what appears to be a speaker designation for one of the speakers.  And then only plays through one of the speakers and the sub.  Will keep playing with it but made me wonder the extent of the issues the recent email from the company apologizing for the new app really are.  

In the past I have been using PLEX to run my Music - through the Sonos App - I had many issues with connection but never had any issues with volume. Most of my playlists were downloaded throughout the years from iTunes.I have signed up for Apple Music for convenience and now use Apple Music through the Sonos App to play my Playlists in Era100 Speakers - since I changed to Apple li had to turn down volume to 18 (on PLEX I had them on 32) - some songs are playing extremely loud and others play very quiet - I have been tried the Apple Soundcheck option but on or off does not seem to make a difference. music is played in my business so it extremely annoying having to change volume for every song - anybody had any similar experiences? Any ideas? Solutions? Thank you very much 

Hi System is 2 x Play 1 and 2 ceramic 300.When playing a track the music stops and restarts within a few seconds.It does this with every track played and is not intermittent.Any thoughts would be welcome.Thanks

I cannot remove my surrounds,  they are Era 100s.  I have an Arc , sub gen 3 and era 100s.  When I click remove surround I get the message “ there was a problem removing your surrounds. Check the network connection and make sure your products are powered on”. they are connected, powered on and working fine,  I want to ove them to a different room and try using them as a stereo pair (before potentially buying a new pair (or something else)  as surrounds. Makes no sense.  I could try a factory reset but I don't want to then find I can't use them at all- not confident - maybe if is to do with the new app?

I have, this week, taken delivery of my first Sonos products.  I have an Arc, Sub Gen 3 and 2 x Era 300.Ideally I would like to:stream music to the Era 300 configured as a Stereo Pair Watch Dolby Atmos enabled Blu Rays via the soundbar utilising the Era 300s as my rear surround / Atmos speakers Game in Dolby Atmos in the same configuration as  no. 2 aboveAll of this was possible with my previous receiver based system (albeit stereo music was played via my front left and right speakers)Is this achievable without having to ‘remove surrounds’ and re ‘add’ the era 300s as a stereo pair (and vice versa).  I have read something about using multiple systems and controllers (presumably another device with the Sonos app installed). Can you please help?CheersJohn

I have two Play 1 speakers, both on the same WiFi network (the only one in my home).  One of these speakers is only 15 feet from my router, in the same room.  No other WiFi-enabled device anywhere in my house has any trouble staying connected.  After operating just fine for several days, one or both speakers will  suddenly be “not connected”, per the app on my phone and iPad.  This happens with no change in the Wifi or the speakers.  The app’s advice is to reboot the speakers.  Sometimes this works immediately, and sometimes it take hours or days to take effect.  I can only conclude that the Play 1 software is too stupid to detect that it has lost connectivity and to activate the subroutine that reacquires it.  There is no reason on this earth that I should need to individually reboot each speaker to reconnect them.  When is Sonos going to fix their software?  

Are there any updates due on new app as I STILL can’t get a suitable response on playing any music on my S2. Sonos app pre update was great,post update  CRAP
