Connecting a Surround Sound System to auxiliary Sonos Speakers

Hey Community,I currently have a bunch of alexa speakers all over my house, the sound isn’t great but I love that I can connect speakers and play music throughout my entire house. I want to upgrade, looking at sonos. I’m looking at the ultimate immersive set with Arc (includes Arc, sub gen 3, (2) era 300’s). I’d like to be able to connect additional speakers to that for when I play music, thinking 4 additional ERA 300’s and 2 Move 2’s. Anyone know if I can play music simultaneously on all of those devices?

dual sub mini

Hi all Good people. During Black Week the Sub mini was down around $100 and i was able to get one.First i add it to my livingroom downstairs along with the Playbase&Ikea BS. I try different placement and try multiple Truplay-runs. Sound was like ok,but nothing more. I really enjoy this room even without the Sub mini. I think Playbase is a great soundbar. Anyway…. Then i moved the Sub mini upstairs and integrade it with the Beam Gen2& Era 100…and i got a Ikea BS stereopair as well. The Sub mini is placed in the front corner of the room. Let me say it like this: the Sub mini outplay Gen3 by far….i’m in LOVE. The tight punch,the dynamic…just WOW. Yes,i’m talking bout performance with Music,not TV/Film/Movies. Just pure enjoyable music. And the size….to be honest,i thought the Sub mini was a small unit….it’s not. It’s somehow bigger than i imagine.I have not watch any movies,only Youtube,and the sound is good(enough). I probobly gonna watch some films in the near future,but i think

Group level volume

I have a beam, an arc and a sonos One. When in Spotify I group all the speakers, at the same volume level, I notice the Arc volume seems to be sound lower than the other speakers. Ther's a reason for this behaviour? Thanks!

Sonos Move Charging

If I listen to the Move while it's on its charging base/ ring is the speaker running off its battery or from the power being supplied by the base?

Anyone having difficulty with sonos support?

So I purchased a roam and at the same time requested a move replacement. This was done over the phone. This generated many emails. So, admittedly and embarrassingly, I lost the email confirming the move replacement and its tracking number. That being said, one would think it would be easy to receive a repeat confirmation email. Nope. 9 phone calls and 6 emails later (and counting) they have not been able to a) understand what I need and/or b) produce the said confirmation email.In the end, I found the original email. Still pending delivery. But, come on support staff, get it together. PS: of course, they did not specify that the roam comes without a charging brick. SOnos, dont learn petty tricks from Apple. its beneath you.

We have a dog and at present we have a radio on all day for her whilst we’re at work.  She goes to Daycare at 10 and returns at 2pm.  I want to set up my Sonos Beam to play a radio station from 8am-10am and then from 2pm-6pm……is this possible?

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.

Moving my Move

I wish to move my Move around the property; i have 3 routers, including the one I set up the Move on.  If I don’t take my cell phone with me and leave it next to the original router, will I be able to avoid the problem of losing Sonos and Alexa?

Connecting powered loudspeakers

I would like to integrate a pair of Yamaha DSR 115 powered loudspeakers and powered Subs into my Sonos system for my garage.  I called Sonos customer support and they said the Sonos Connect AMP is what I need, but I’m pretty confident the representative is mistaking. I believe it is the Sonos Connect or Sonos Port that provides non amplified output signals. But would like to make sure it would work before I purchase either. I do understand I will need a RCA to XLR adaptor cable. Is there any advantage using the Port over the Connect?Thanks!

Update Sub Gen 2 failed.

I just updated my system to S2 v15.1 and my Gen2 subwoofer failed (my Sonos1, Playbar, Amp2 all updated fine).  I tried resetting, reconnecting, rebootng and nothing worked.  I called tech support and they went thru the same steps, said it was likely a fault.  They cannot “see” the sub on their end and offered an RMA #.  Now I have to buy a new subwoofer “at a discount”, which will still cost me more than $600.    Is there anything beside 1) restarting the sub (white flashing light doesn’t go green), resetting to factory default (orange/white flashing light doesn’t go green), rebooting by Boost, rebooting my router, that I can do on my end?

Initial setup for Play 5 with S1 app

I know this sounds trivial but I’m having trouble connecting a Play 5 with my S1 app.  It was disconnected during troubleshooting trying to get my existing S1 system speakers to work with the new S2 because I just got a Beam Gen 2.  It is the only holdout - it can’t work with the S2 but it is now disconnected and so I need to get my S1 app to recognize it.  Currently, it has an ethernet cable connected to it and is powered on.  In the S1 app (after I reset it) I get the option to set up a new Sonos system, or connect to an existing system.  I choose connect to existing system, and then get “Use Sonos S2 app” or more options menu which essentially lead me full circle back to resetting the app.  My conclusion is that SONOS wants me to have a “new” app (new credentials to log in) to the S1 app.  Nothing seems to be working.  Would it be appropriate to simply unplug the existing S2 devices in the house and then try to connect my Play 5 to an existing system?  Fooling the S1 into thinking t

Roam shouts the time at me and wakes the neighbours

If I listen to music or radio on Roam and set the volume to, say 35 (because it is daytime and I like to listen to it loud) then there is a problem early next morning. Usually I will say to Alexa on Roam, “volume three“ then “What is the time?“. Even if Alexa says that the volume is three when I ask “what is your volume?“, Roam will shout the time at me (and the neighbours) unless I adjust the volume manually using the Sonos app. For example, just now the volume on Roam using the Sonos app is 33. I have just asked Alexa “what is your volume?” And she says “device is at volume seven.”
