Speakers

I've seen this question a few times, but cannot find a solution and would like my system checked out. I have a Connect, SUB, and three PLAY:5's. The system is set up to have 3 groups, and I run them connected to one another 90% of the time. I have no issues with the services or other inputs, however, my TV and streaming inputs are a hit-or-miss thing. When I last moved, I upgraded my internet signal and speed to be at 100mbps and I have connected the CONNECT with ethernet directly to the modem/router, so that shouldn't be an issue. I have line in coming from either the TV or from the cable box. In both cases, every once in a while, I get a garbled/cutting out of the sound. It recovers, but it is extremely annoying. I have to keep it on Automatic to have a decent watching experience, as if i change compression, the lip sync is terrible. I sent some diagnostics to the support team and have usage data on, so im hoping you can see that information and make an assessment.

When i play songs from my iphone the songs wont play the full way through and instead skip to the next song. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance for any help... My computer systems have been under a surgical cyber attack for 2 months now with BIOS and Firmware modification techniques that identify this as a sophisticated bad actor. Therefore, a firmware modification to a SONOS speaker is easily in the realms of probability here. Anyway, either an update screwed up (which I doubt) or the hacker appears to have modified a PLAY:1 as either a backdoor to tunnel back into the network or as a malware infection point. When doing a network scan, the compromised PLAY:1 does not OS fingerprint in the same manner as the other SONOS devices. The compromised PLAY:1 DNS Cache has a number of URL's and IP addresses in it that may or may not be legitimate (while the other SONOS device's DNS cache's are empty) and UPnP is turned off (but enabled on all the other SONOS devices). So, (if nothing less than to eliminate it from the compromised device list) is there a way to reset / reimage the firmware on the PLAY:1 or fo

How to add as a Windows audio device to play computer audio and as a device connected to Sonos network? Just purchased a Play1 device. I was told I could play my music with the connect device and it is. But I was also told that I could have it work as my computer speaker as well. ( No, do not need 3 speakers on my desktop) Yes added the device thru Windows 10. Not shown as a playback device in the computer or the CONNECT AMP as well. So is it even possible? - The speaker is not that rich in sound, even after tweaking the EQ. The base is flat. - Is there a better speaker with richer sound?

I can no longer connect to sonos at all, it is only 6months old, I recently changed wirelss connection, but I have tried endless and all suggested options, new accounts, connecting with a lead etc & rebooting etc. It doesn’t even show up on my phone (same phone as before). I am at a total loss..sonos app is pretty inaccessible if things are not connecting.

I have a Netgear R6220 router with both 2.4 and 5 network. The Sonos can only connect to 2.4 obviously. I set it up. I was connecting from iphone and win 10 Sonos apps to the sonos speaker while both iphone and windows computers were on 5g network. Suddenly it stopped working. Iphone/windows 10 sonos app no longer finds the speaker. Why? I have 2 Wyze Cams on 2.4 (only connects to 2.4) and I can connect to both of them just fine still from the 5g wireless. There seems to be some kind of "communication" between 2.4 and 5g for wyze and sonos but suddenly the communication stopped between 2.4 and 5g for the sonos.

I can’t find an unambiguous answer to this question anywhere: Does the original (gen1?) Play:5 support AirPlay 2?

Does Sonos Beam take Bluetooth connection?

Hi, Do you know where I can buy replacement rubber feet for my Sonos play 3?

I made a mistake in adding a new speaker, and ended up adding two named speakers, but only one physical speaker exists. How can I delete the unused name from app (system?)

Hi all, I have a sonos playbar, sub and two play 1’s for rears. I have noticed that recently when playing films in Dolby digital (Apple TV 4K) that the playbar sound seems to be being drowned out by the the rear speakers. The sonos is reporting Dolby digital 5.1 in the app. I have tried enabling speech option on playbar but doesn’t seem to make much difference. The only option seems to be turning off rears to hear what is being said. I need to try some other films but it does seem the rears seem much louder than the playbar ? Normal tv is fine albeit not tried rears yet. Any tips would be great 😃

Hello I have just bought a Playstand which is very good but I now have a redundant Playbar. Can I use the Playbar like a Play1 or Play3 and set it up as a speaker in my study?

Cleared the queue during play of a music service station - songs cleared, and station continues to play, but now queue information is blank and no info will appear anymore for anything? Looked for info and could find nothing on how to get the queue display to re-populate.

I used to have wired outdoor speakers and a Connect AMP. But we moved and now I have two choices. One is adding a Bluetooth transmitter to a Connect (already own both) and purchasing bluetooth speakers for outside. I just tested this with a portable speaker and it works great even with the doors closed. Next is to purchase a Play 1 and leave it in the covered section of the porch year round (in SW Florida it never gets too cold but it is humid). My concern is if we get a windy day with rain...it could blow in horizontally and get the speaker wet. I could put it high in a rafter to avoid this. Otherwise it would be covered year round - out of sun and rain. I think to get equal audio quality the first option would be about $50 more than the second. Any feedback on either of these options will be appreciated.

Hi Sometime Im noticing that the music in my kitchen seems unable to connect (or some such error) and will skip to the next song. I have two Sonos Play 1s in there and the router is a bit away from them. They're both connecting wirelessly. Would a powerline adapter help? I was thinking the wireless connection might not be great so to connect an Ethernet cable via powerline to the left speaker. As I've two (left and right pair) will it just make the left one better? Would the left communicate wirelessly with the right in this scenario or will the right always try to connect wirelessly to the router? Thanks P

Moderator note:  This article was updated in December 2024. Hello everyone!We’ve seen some questions and discussion about room grouping come up recently. We have an FAQ that shows how to group along with the basics of grouping. This is a great resource that shows how to group rooms and some additional features. If you’d like a quick reference, check it out!This discussion should serve as a “crash-course” on grouping in Sonos. If you have any questions or need anything clarified, please do not hesitate to leave a comment. We are happy to help. If you're having problems with grouping, feel free to create a new topic and the Community will take a look.What is grouping? Grouping allows you to play audio content from your favorite music services and sources on two or more of your Sonos speakers, at the same time. Players that are grouped share the same queue and will continue to do so until you un-group the rooms.Amazon Alexa/Sonos One Users: Grouping in Sonos is separate from Alexa groups

I did a quick search and found no mention of this system in the forun which was announced late last year not sure what became of it as there are scant reviews online and even fewer stockists https://www.dynaudio.com/home-audio/music/discover Looks interesting and Dynaudio certainly know a thing or two about speakers. Anyone seen them in the flesh?

#SonosOne Hi All Just wanted to see if anyone is currently experiencing a possible issue with the Sonos One not being securely screwed to the provided Sanus brackets shipping with new WSS22 "Sonos One" stands. As the old Play 1 had a screw at the back of them, old Gen. Sanus brackets (for the WSS1) had the holes and could be secured to the speakers, however as Sonos seems to have done away with the screw design together with any compatibility with previous Play 1 stands, it appears to be to difficult to design a bracket to actually firm grasp the base of the Sonos One Speakers, making it easier for a toddler to sustain damage from an unstable speaker even though the base is wide and stable it's easy for the speaker to get knocked and damaged which also potentially means more sales for Sonos due damaged Ones in the process Please comment if anyone seems to have bought one yet and concurs there is a chance of the speaker getting knocked of the bracket base easily unless the "base

Hello. I would need some guidance. I am getting an LG TV to which I am adding their Dolby Atmos Sound bar SJ9.I would like to add my 2 Sonos Play1 Speakers to this setup. Is it possible ?Maybe with the SONOS CONNECT Smart Wireless Stereo Adaptor ? is there a less expensive solution if at all.Thanks!

Can I use Play 5 Gen 1 connected directly to my phone with 3.5 cable. I have no WIFI or internet.

Hello, I'm new to Sonos speakers having just invested in 2x Play 5's, 2x Play 1's and a Sonos One. I was wondering if it would be possible to connect my old speakers to this system, or at least control them through the Sonos App using the Sonos Connect/Connect Amp. I'm not sure if anyone knows but the main problem with the Phililips Fidelio AW5000/9000 range was a completely flawed Airstudio app, which in practical terms rendered the speakers redundant, so it would be nice if I could get some use out of them as they are of good build quality and nice sound. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks, Oliver

Sorry if this has already been discussed, just thought I would share my experience with the new Sky Q boxes and Sonos for anyone looking for Airplay/bluetooth support for their Sonos system, or are considering upgrading to Sky Q but haven't yet. As the new Sky Q boxes come equipped with AirPlay support (and Bluetooth), I have 3 Sky boxes attached to TV's around the house which are linked to two PlayBars and a Play:5. This adds seamless airplay/bluetooth support to your entire Sonos system from any sky box, I can use my original phone music player or even youtube audio and not have to use the Sonos controller. This also turns your TV screen into a nice music visual if using airplay. Other benefits are the full HD/4K aspect, meaning better use of your home theatre set up using DD sound. Previously only available by additional subscription on Sky+. For me these benefits alone for my sonos system are worth the upgrade to Sky Q, there are also many more improvements on the Sky bo

My home is frequently used as the home to have parties, mainly because everyone says they love my sound system, which consists of several Sonos connects, early Zone players and many Play ones and some play 5's. I would love to not always be relied upon to host parties, and was wondering if my play ones and play 5's could be brought to other people's homes? How difficult would that be to do something like that? Along that line, has there been any thoughts to allowing the sonos speakers to work in the car, using my iPhone's personal hotspot?

Hi, Although I love the fact that Play devices are wireless, the reality is that for someone like myself who wishes to mount them on a wall in various rooms, I still need to run power up to the speakers. Running power cables in the wall is even more trouble than running network cables. Worst, there is no way to do a clean job if you don't want to have ugly power outlets at the top of your walls and then you have an ugly power cable that is visible... Furthermore, if you want to avoid buying the Bridge, you need to run AT LEAST one network cable to the device anyway. Why bother having to run both power and Ethernet? So, I think my proposition is pretty simple (although it would need to happen on future versions of the hardware): Why not make the Ethernet port be PoE, which means that a PoE switch could supply power to the speaker. I do read that PoE have a maximum power of 35W (I also read 50W wat possible in a non-standard installation).. so maybe this will be an issue. But

Sonos stinks. I am listing all my speakers and everything 'Sonos' on Craigslist. You cannot get through to customer service, minimum 1 hr hold. MINIMUM. System often won't play. System drops whilst playing. Last phone call the rep now says there's too many wifi networks in range! God thing I don't live in the heart of the city or a condominium with more networks. All the updates, it gets worse. Imagine spending a few grand and not being able to use it or having it cut out all the time. Such rubbish. Wish I had never spent the money. I wanted Bose yet they were not doing the streaming speakers at the time so I bought Sonos. I've seen it continue to go further and further downhill. What a mess!
