Speakers

I have a Playbar and 2 Play:1s for a 5.0 setup. Soon will add a sub. As has been discussed over and over on this forum, this setup is great for HT but less than ideal for music. I'm keen on bringing in Play:5's for music duty only. I have an open floor plan with a dining flowing right into my family room. My question is, can I create rooms in the sonos app such that: Dining room: Play:5 x 2 + SUB (same sub as Family Room) Family room: Playbar + Play:1 x 2 + SUB (same sub as Dining Room) In other words, there is only one SUB.

The company that has created three different TVs sound units in four years is also the same company that has ignored the most requested item in its history - an outdoor solution. The playbar was a NEAR bust from the beginning. Without paying up for DTS support, it played less than 50% of BluRay discs. Literally ZERO sounds form Star Wars, etc. It was a nightmare. And I returned mine. But rather than fixing the quirks and pitfalls through software updates, they have engineered 2 more units that are redundant. Completely redundant. And yet, they year after year ignore the MOST customer requested item - an outdoor solution. The Play 1s are technically not outdoor rated. The Connect Amp has poolside speakers listed in its description and yet the Connect Amp is not rated for outdoor use. A mobile Play 5 with a handle and a battery back up with rock the pool/outdoor option. And yet - crickets. Sonos is an incredible company that is successful at almost everything and yet doesn't

Play 1 speakers not working in surround mode. &nbsp

Can someone please illustrate - or explain - more clearly/specifically how one would go about actually WIRING together several impedance matching volume control units connected to one zoneplayer? I've seen the wiring schematics for connecting 4 speakers to a ZP (without any volume controls), and I've seen the links for various impedance matching volume controls (IMVCs), but I can't seem to find a detailed explanation of how one would actually CONNECT 2-3 different IMVCs, from beginning to end. Any clarification/help/links appreciated!

We had some problems connecting to our wi-fi so we started the set up process again but now there is no temporary SONOS network option available in my WI-Fi settings - so how can I proceed?

Delighted to see AirPlay 2 support annouced. However, bubble well and truely burst by twitter support confirming it only works on newest devices - the play5 gen 2, and play base. Can this be explained further, is it : (i) Only new devices will support AirPlay 2. So if I have 6 Sonos speakers, 2 of which are play5:gen2, only those 2 will show as airplay speakers? Or (ii) You need at least one compatible device in your ecosystem, which acts as a bridge for older devices. So in scenario above, as at least one play5:gen2 is in the mix, all speakers are available. I am crossing everything that it is (ii)... or there will be a lot of very unhappy people!

what are they? are there any ?

i love listening to music while taking shower...please can you sell a waterproof PLAY1 speaker??

Can I duplicate the Soundbar TV soundtrack on the Play 5's rather than just background noise? Also, can I play the Soundbar TV sound track on the Play 5's without the soundbar?

Any plans to produce a smaller, less expensive sub for use with Beam in a bedroom configuration?

I recently changed the name and password for our Wifi router and I cannot get our Sonos unit to be recognized even though I have changed the network preferences etc to the new info. Anyone have any tips? Thanks!

How can I access the port to remove a toy my daughter placed in the port? It is wedged in there. It is a lego brands toy girl that fits perfectly snug. There is very little play and they angle creates a challenge removing

I have 3 play:1 in my house and yesterday i bought a sonos one because the store said it was going to work with play:1 but when im trying to connect it dosnt work... Is it going to work or do i have to go back and turn it back and buy play:1 ???

Hi there, Sonos newbie hear, so please be gentle! Does anyone know when the Sonos app will be updated to allow application of True Play from an iPhone X? Many thanks for any help and Merry Christmas!

My play 1 has worked moving it from room to room for two years. Now it will only connect via Ethernet. Nothing has changed and all other devices are fine.

I have two play 5 set up in stereo. Vertical orientation. They sound great but sometimes I want to drop the volume without opening the app and they just don’t respond.

Hi, i'm new to SONOS community and going to get my first Sonos Play:1 very soon as Christmas gift. I've a couple of questions about the product i was not able to found in the forum (sorry if i miss them in case already asked/answered) 1) i found that power consumption of Sonos Play:1 is 3.8W when in idle mode, no music playing (+0.3W if connected by ethernet). Is it possible to put the speker in sleep mode and wake it up by a WOL magic packet? 2) as i plan to not use the wifi, is it possible to disable the WIFi functionality of the speaker? Thanks Simone

I know there has been a lot of request's for outdoor Sonos systems. I enjoy your product throughout my house and do not feel like getting below quality third party outdoor speakers and a connect or amp to drive them. I believe it is just time to develop an outdoor rated soffit speaker se we can enjoy Sonos quality audio on our Patio, instead of plugging and unplugging a Play 1 or 5 every time we go outside and linking it up to our phones, way easier to carry around a Bluetooth, but then you lose out on the Sonos sound quality. I understand they have been researching this for like 3 years, time to take a leap and be proactive as I believe this would be a huge selling point for Sonos, instead of urging us to buy competitors products. I believe that when Sonos recommends this, most people skip out of buying the Connecticut and/or Amp and buy a complete separate Bluetooth or other system when makes it a pain in the ass to have so many sound systems that could easily be averted by produci

Will be moving to Spain in the next few months and have a large number of sonos speakers purchased in the uk. When I move, will I be able to take them with me?

Imagine Sonos listened and designed a product ‘just for you’. Imagine that there were no resource or prioritisation issues. Just for a moment. Ignore that there may be othernoptions out there already. You simply want a Sonos ‘one’. End of. What new device or service would you like to add to your Sonos system? My starter for 10. A HDMI connect or centre speaker type device that would allow the use of dedicated L/R speakers for wider separation and better (subjective I know) sound than a playbar provides. The ability to play high res codecs would be a bonus and even more so Atmos (ignore technical issues with speaker placement). Basically something like the Heos AVR or what many speculated the beam was going to be (updated Playbar) but on steroids. No agenda behind the question other than curious what other would like the system to be able to do. Given the cost of the Playbar, I’d happily pay north of that for such a device. Second on the list would be an ‘upscale’ Play

Hi all, My Playbar has developed a high-pitched noise that is extremely annoying and basically means that we can't use it anymore. The Playbar is 2.5 years old and has not been used for a few months. When I plugged it back in again, the noise started. I have heard others on the Forum have also suffered from the same issue. I contacted Sonos who asked me to do a factory reset (didn't resolve the issue). They have now sent me a link to replace the unit. The problem is I have to pay £199 as it is out of warranty. Whilst I accept it is out of warranty, I would just like to say how disappointed I am with Sonos. Having paid £600 for this unit - it is one of the most expensive in the range, and I am very surprised that such a high-end device has gone wrong so soon. It is obviously a common fault judging by the number of faults reported on this forum. If anyone from Sonos is listening, perhaps you could take this feedback into consideration....

I am frustrated with SONOS. If the router changes or if a new network is used it is virtually impossible to have SONOS working smoothly. I own a pair of Play 1s, but the system only works if one of them is plugged in directly to router via ethernet. I have attempted to reset, reboot, re-install, and nothing works. It cannot be this difficult to set up the system. Getting ready to return. Nice sound but very flawed.

I’m curious. When a system is in ‘Boost’ mode, does a new speaker only use sonosnet to join the system and obtain uodates etc, or does it initially use wifi before placing itself onto the Mesh? I’m guessing the latter. As today i added a new pair of Play Ones in the garage which is integral (in the basement, with concrete ceiling above solid block walls on all sides ) where my iphone could not get a wifi signal (iphones kept seipping the signal if I obtained it outside the gagrage and then entered). I could get a signal inside the ‘house’ part of the basement, and the Play Ones joined, uodated and played like troopers. Router is two storeys up theough two concrete floors. So either Mesh works from the outset or they have some amazingly strong wifi! Anyone know the answer?

Hi. I have a play 1 that keeps cutting out. It is the only wireless component in my sonos network. I have another pair of play 1s and a connect but these are wired. As a test I have placed the wireless play 1 right next to my router and i still get cut outs so it cannot be due to a poor signal. Can someone offer any help please? Thanks
