Music Playback

I’m still new to Sonos. I can play music with no problem on my Roam, but how do I stop playing music other than shutting off the Roam?

IKEA Symfonisk Lamps Gen 2, optimal distance from wall?

I have just bought nice tall and deep bedside tables for the lamps (the lamps sound much better on these rigid wooden cabinets than the previous flimsy metal ones). I am considering permanently fixing them to the tables, so there is no chance to accidentally knock them off. I just wondered it there was an optimal distance to place them from the wall. I appreciate the sound is modified / enhanced by setting them up with truetone, but if I position them correctly in the first place, sound should be even better. Thanks

Anyone experiencing issues with wireless speakers and/or subwoofers with 6.2?

Originally with my Pro 6’s I had some WiFi issues, which ended up being caused by my wireless subwoofer (Sony HT-ST5000). I fixed it by locking my subwoofer to a single 5.2 ghz channel and turning on “secure link”. My theory at the time was that eero would learn that that particular channel was too noisy and not bother with it.Since the 6.2 update the same WiFi issues seem to have resurfaced, sometimes my connection is fine and other times I have incredibly slow speeds (sub 1mbps on a fiber connection 10 feet from the eero). My subwoofer is having intermittent connection issues too. Granted this could all be a coincidence, but it started happening the day 6.2 was installed on my network.Is anyone else experiencing anything similar?

Can't re-use my old Flexson Play:1 adjustable stands with a new Play One

I recently upgraded some of my old Play:1 speakers to the New Play One and assumed that i could re-use my existing Flexson adjustable speaker Stands.  I was wrong.  New stands supplied by Flexson are universal and they will fit but i don't want to have to buy new stands.  Is anyone aware of anywhere of where i could just obtain the speaker holder/ base that fits to the top of the stem?  I have looked at the instructions for the old one and the new one and they look like they use the same fixing method to the top of the stem. So i believe this is all that is needed.   However i have spoken with Flexson support and they don't supply that bit.  Is any one aware of a solution that allows me to re-use my old stands or aware of any where i can get the speaker holder/base ?

BEAM GEN 1 AND SPOTIFY SUDDENLY AT ODDS

Yesterday my Beam stopped properly responding to Spotify requests whether they were Alexa-voice requests or directly through the Spotify app.   It starts to play after a LONG while then stops.   The starts again.   Very odd.   Nothing has changed.  Not having this issue with my other Sonos One

Sonos should offer stand upgrade option without having to buying a new set!

I'm considering upgrade pair of One's to 100's and Sonos should offer this plastic base separately because rest of stand is the same and I would to use them with new speakers. I know that it’s not in their interest but sometimes be OK worth more.

Sonos Move feature request

I would like a feature (which I think is deficient by its absence today) in the app that allows you to toggle the Move into Bluetooth and Wifi mode.  Sometimes I switch my move to bluetooth to pair with my TV streaming device in the bedroom. After the film is done, I would like to be able to switch the move back to wifi and be able to use its voice control etc without having to get back out of bed! Thanks.

Moving from the Netherlands to Dallas (TX, USA).Bought my Sonos Beam, Sub and 5 Sonos one’s in the Netherlands and wonder if they would work in the US with a simple transformer? Or would that not work?

Sonos on Android speaker?

This may be an odd ask, but is there any way to add my Android speaker to the speakers Sonos has available to connect to? There are times when I'm listening to some music on my Sonos speakers in the living room and want to continue listening when I go out to the backyard, the garage or the bathroom for just a minute, but would like to keep listening. Since I have my phone with me, it would be cool to simply add my phone to the speaker group.Yes, I realize the sound would not be Sonos quality, and that I could take a Move speaker with me, but I don't have one yet, plus it would be inconvenient having to take my phone AND a Move just to quickly check the burgers on the grill or run to the bathroom! 😎 Allowing Sonos to also play over my Android speaker seems like it would solve my dilemma.

Where is the wireless streamed from? The Sound bar or the sub woofer?

I’m buying a receiver that has Sonos capabilities and I need to know where the wireless signal comes from?  Does it come from the Sound Bar or does it come from the Sub Woofer?

Buzzing on Move

We have been occasionally getting a buzzing sound like a doorbell ringing from our Kitchen Move. I have it set with an alarm in the morning to go off with Sonos Radio HD Mellow Morning. Once it starts it does not stop until I turn it off. Does anyone have any experience with this and how to fix. The same thing happened with our Roam when we lost power a ways back. If not, I will send a case in. Thanks in advance.
