Speakers

I was wondering if it is ok to turn the power on and off the Sonos One? We have them hooked up outside on our Patio through our porch light with two power plugs and don't want to leave the light on all the time. (Older house with no ouyside plugs).

Hi, I just got a Play 1 and after few days of research, I understood that the basic function of having ANY sound of my computer, played to the Play 1, is not an option (yet?). However, I also found that the "Stream What You Hear" (SWYH) software can partly help, and stream the sounds to the Play 1...but with a delay. So for the moment, movies/youtube/videos... are not suitable because of that delay. However, I would like to test the "streaming" feature of "SWYH" but with TuneBlade, as I think they handle this delay issue in a better way (from what I read, the delay can also be due to the AirPlay technology). So my question is the following: to link the Play 1 with Tuneblade, I need the ip/port of my Play 1 in order to connect them together. Here is attached below a screenshot of the parameters of TuneBlade. In "type" I can select "Speakers/HiFi receivers" and "Shairport". I know the IP of my Play 1, but I can't find which port number to use. I tried 80, 443, 1024 ... with no success.

Have a similar problem that has been reported - turntable through line-in to Connect is suffering constant drops out. I've tried all the suggested fixes (change the line-in setting to AirPlay device; Level set to 4; check on room interference etc, etc.) Need some help.

My order says "delivers by July 17". Does this mean it will be shipping in the next few days and I could expect it on or before July 17, or are they shipping it next week and I would receive it 4-5 days later? Just curious, and somewhat excited!. Thanks

No Sonos yet, but soon. I have a large rectangular (not square) loft room. in one corner, there is a TV. in the other corner is the kitchen. all one open room. I just pre-ordered a Sonos Beam and ordered one Sonos One. The Beam will go in front of the TV. Ideally, the One would go into the kitchen on the other end. I could purchase another One and place it in the middle of the room, if need be. I would like to hear good TV sound with some surround sound when I sit down in front of the TV, and use the system for music (amazon music unlimited) when I am cooking. in this sense, the One ( + One ) should not always act as surround speakers, but there are cases where they should behave as such. the system could be smart and figure out what the speakers should be from the input source, or I could use voice commands. how should this be done? advice appreciated.

I wanted to ask how many 8 OHM speakers I can connect (using a speaker selector to match the impedance) without overloading the amplifier (assuming I occasionally would play them all together) or degrading the sound. I understand sonos recommends a maximum of 4 per amp, but wondering what's the max I can get away with without degrading the sound too much. Ideally I'd like to connect 8 in-wall speakers to a single Sonos AMP. I'm not an audiophile nor do I listen to my music super loud (rarely, if ever happens) but don't want it to sound like a tin can either. Also, assuming I use the speaker selector to impedance match, do I run the risk of damaging the AMP if I connected 4 pairs of speakers to it? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

So iOS 11.4 is now released to the public. When can we expect it on the Sonos line?

What are the steps for connecting Play:1 or Play:5 to Apple Home?

Sonos 5 and 3 were playing fine before I switched my router. They no longer stay connected to the new WIFI as soon as I remove the ethernet cable. I have updated the network and password already but it's still not working. Diagnostics number 670838226

I recently upgraded my router and it allows me to see internet usage by device, by hour. I have 3 Sonos ones and noticed that 2 of them consistently use a little over 1 MB per hour (450KB down, 700KB up). The third one only uses 50KB per hour. All three of the speakers are in different rooms with the only difference between the high bandwidth and low bandwidth being color (the low speaker is white and the two high use are black which I am very certain is not the reason for bandwidth use) and that the microphone is turned off on the two with high bandwidth use. I don't understand how having the mic off would increase bandwidth use (I would think it would be the opposite). I plan to test them tonight with the mic on to see if it changes but thought I would see if anyone has some insight into what the devices are transmitting?

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

Helle suddenly from yesterday my play5 stop producing bass as before.. i can feel bass even in 30% of the volume.. but not anymore from yestersday.. i dont know what happend suddendly,, the only thing i did recently is calibrate the turePlay.. but even after disable the truePlay and reset factor settings,, no luck.. any idea what could be the issue..

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

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!
