Speakers

I received a Playbar for Christmas and was told my 2006 model Sony Bravia is not compatible with the Player. May I use the Playbar for music only connected to my other Sonos speakers?

Hello, I am a long time user of Sonos and have loved your product since it it came out. I am running a Sonos Bridge with 2 Sonos Play5 speakers. I recently tried to play music and noticed no status light on my Bridge. The networks lights on the back of the bridge are ON but the light on the top of the bridge isnt. Instead it's a faded white blinking light. I physically connected my speakers to my router and was able to connect with no issues. However, I cant connect the Bridge. I've tried rebooting the router and modem but no luck. I just sent over my support diagnostics, confirmation number 8419155. Please let me know what I can try to get my system back up and running. Thank you, -Isaac

I’m looking for someone with experience listening to music through a SONOS 5.1 system using PLAY:5’s. The 5.1 system with PLAY:1’s turned all the way up playing tunes sounds awesome, I want to know in what ways the PLAY:5’s would improve the 5.1 music listening experience.

I bought a Sonos One and I was hoping to use my Piooner NA50AE digital player to stream the music. The player uses both Chromecast and Flare Connect. Is there any possibility that these systems become compatible with the Sonos One? I bought a Sonos One and I was hoping to use my Piooner NA50AE digital player to stream the music.

Obviously a high steam environment with lots of moisture around. Can I use a Sonos speaker here if it's mounted high up on the wall where only steam is an issue?

HI Can you use a Sonos Playbar with just one Play1 as surround instead of two?  I only have one Play 1 st present and what to use it as a left surround for the playbar but i cant seem to get it to work.  I can add it but it does not output anything so i was thinking that it only becase active once you add the second? Can someone confirm if you can have a Sonos Playbar with just one Play1 as a surround (Left). Thanks Mark

We have a Play:1 at work and the other day the bass on the speaker blew. Seems odd that the volume control on such a compact system could blow the speaker. Is there any way to get it fixed or get credit towards a new one?

Really disappointed Sonos are price gouging on this. It's $349 in the US but you're selling it for £349 in the UK - that's over £100 at today's exchange rate. By drawing attention to the large Apple price - you're fleecing UK purchasers. Stuart

I have a playbar and one Sonos Play 1. I´d like to buy another play 1 or sonos one, to complete a home theater system. Will I have any problems with using two different types of speakers or are they equal in sound quality? Are the two speakers compatible with eachother soundwise?

We need an outdoor weather resistant speaker that can play on the patio or by the pool

I have recently got Sonos play 3 and to my disappointment it lack versatility on every single level. Can't play any music unless it is through the dreadful and unusable app supplied by Sonos. It's integration with Spotify leaves a lot to be desired and the fact that I'm unable to play music direct from laptop makes this purchase even more pointless. Maybe I should of done my research better but a product that cost this amount of money should be far more versatile and there is no excuse that app should be so bad when it advertises itself as fully integrating with Spotify. I will certainly not be purchasing anymore speakers in the future and most likely be adding my Play 3 to eBay.

Limited time offer when buying two Sonos One speakers in the US/UK - $349/£349. https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/two-is-better-than-one-get-two-sonos-one-smart-speakers-for-349-300588176.html

Hiya, I've been reading the Community and I think I've come to a decision but if I don't ask the question, I might kick myself later. I currently have Sonos in my living room (Playbar, Sub and 2x Play 1s). I'm moving from a flat to a house and plan to expand. My original thoughts were to replace the 1s in my surround sound setup in the living room with 3s and then put the 1s in the bedroom. However, after reading some threads here, it seems I wouldn't get any benefit from having 3s as rear surround sound speakers. Then I read somewhere that 1s are as good as 3s and not to bother with 3s at all. So now I'm thinking 1s everywhere. Then I decided I couldn't possibly have a kitchen without Sonos. SO! I want to have a pair of speakers in there. 1s or 3s, that's again, the question. I don't have space really for a 5. I mean, I don't really have space for much, its a tiny house. I'm totally answering my own question here but if I buy 4 Play 1s, I just want to know I'm not missing

Can't get my new Sonos One with Alexa to work properly. It worked fine at first. I try to go through the setup procedures but cannot get the light to flash green. I wanted to try resetting it and starting again.

WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE VOLUME RAMP UP SLOWING WHILE USING THE ALARM FEATURE

Does anyone else think that Sonos need to look at some kind of bathroom speaker unit. As an electrician I realise that this may cause some problems mainly because of the fact that genarally speaking we are going to all be missing the main ingredient that is somewhere to plug it in, but maybe a low voltage system where a transformer can be remotely plugged in external to the bathroom or maybe just popped up into the ceiling like a lighting transformer would. I also realise that there is the Sonos connect amp but like me I’m sure that most people wouldn’t want to buy new speakers & then have to spend another few hundred pound in order to connect it to the Sonos system & just for good measure throw in some voice activation like Alexa.

Does anyone think it would be good idea to have a system that is WiFi enabled or with the option To use it by Bluetooth if WiFi is not available. We all have these fantastic speakers but what happens if no WiFi it’s just a box or maybe an offline mode possibly using Bluetooth. I realise that one of the selling features is no dropouts like Bluetooth causes due to emails text messages or push notifications but this is for a backup, also what about the market that doesn’t have WiFi not everyone does maybe 90% + I would think but never the less.

love the Sonos speaker range but interested in getting a speaker for the garden is this something Sonos is planning or is there a known compatible speaker we can link to the Sonos group

Good afternoon folks. I've recently started into the Sonos world and have (5) Play:1s in the house. All are using wifi at this point, with the home network being controlled by a Cisco 2504 controller and Cisco 3502 APs. SSID that the players are connecting to are offered on both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz on (2) APs, on different channels. All devices connect and work, but it seems some/most of them drop off the network at times, as I can see them disappear from the controller list of devices, and I see the resulting DHCP request in the logs on the backend. I'm in the middle of a field (literally), so neighbour interference should not be a factor. There are some distant competing APs, but nothing with a strong signal. Looking for some direction here. Diagnostic # is 6973899. Thank you in advance.

We have our speakers in two bedrooms and the little power light seems to put out a huge amount of light when the room is dark. So much that with both speakers now have a piece of paper balanced on top of both! Anyway to turn that light down?

I own the Sonos play:1 and just ordered Google Home mini without good thinking. I did some research and found out that the Google Assistant will be supported on Sonos One in 2018. (Does this mean that I don't need an external Google Home device? Or that I just can control the Sonos One with my Google Home device?) But will I be able to use the Google Home mini to voice control my Sonos Play:1? If not, should I : -replace the Google Home mini with the Amazon Echo dot? Or -Invest in the Sonos one and use no external voice control devices? Other suggestions and tips are always welcome. Thanks for answering.

we have our Play5 hooked up to the TV via the Line-in connection. my daughter is playing an Xbox, but we have our Sonos speakers (the Play5 & 2 paired play3's) playing Music (radio) via a computer, so she has no sound. about every 10 minutes the Sonos system defaults to the Line-in connection?, stopping the music and playing the sound from the TV/Xbox. I did have it so the Play5 was sound from the TV & the paired play3's were playing the music, but again, the Line-in connection defaulted every 10 minutes. stopping the music, and the play3's reverted to TV/Xbox - even without them being grouped to the Play5

Has anyone out there had issues with a speaker causing a GFCI outlet to trip. When I plug in a Play 5 speaker on a downstream outlet the GFCI outlet immediately trips.

Just bought a second hand play one. Apparently used 4 times. Seems speaker is blown. Is this repairable ?

I have a Sonos Play:1 that I use with Alexa on my Amazon Dot. But is it possible to play content from my MacBook on the Sonos? I understand that the Play:1 is wifi only, and not bluetooth. So if my MacBook is connected to my internet, can I play things like radio podcasts from my MacBook on my Play:1?
