Speakers

I'm new to SONOS. My goal was is to fill my house with area music. While we may use the SONOS for other things as well ... mostly they would be on during waking hours and always playing some kind of background type music. To get the vibe I want, I thought I would need 3 sets of SONOS Play1 ... 6 in total. Living Room / Entry ... Bedroom1, Bedroom2, GuestBath, Kitchen, and Office. My concern is can I (or is this even possible) do the following: - Group LivingRoom / Entry / Kitchen (3 speakers) together to play the same track - Have Both Bedroom2 with its own music - Have Bedroom 1 with its own music - Have Office with same music as Bedroom 2 or its own music - Have GuestBath with its own music Also ... I own most if not all of the music I would want to play. I have a computer with this music on it. Before I go all in and spend lots of $$$ is any of this possible? Thanks in advance SONOS gurus!

See the sub placement adjustment on the iPad controller (on or off). What do the on and off settings do?

I have a Bar, Sub and 2 Play 3s configured together. I've tried using the Sonos network ("WM:0") as well as my wi-fi network. I've tried changing the wireless channel. All to no avail, so at this point, I'm not sure what to try next. The drops happen intermittently with no real pattern and last about 10 seconds. The surround speakers re-join without any action from me. Thank you in advance for any feedback or suggestions!

I am looking to connect wireless satellite speakers in multiple (2 or 3) additional locations in my house. My current system is a Technics surround amp with 5 channel Bose speakers and a subwoofer (not wireless). I have wiFi in the house. Can I get a device that will connect to this amp and generate a wireless signal to wireless speakers? It seems to me there are two places on my amp to which I could connect such a device: 1) the "record out" jacks (which of course is a non-amplified signal, or, 2) the headphone jack which is an amplified signal. is this what your "Connect" product does? Please advise what my options are

Do the play 5's (second gen) offer a higher quality surround sound experience than the play 1,s? I currently have the play 1's in a fairly large room and they're ....eh, ok but I was curious nonetheless. For music, the play 1's are more than enough with the sound bar and Sub, but I feel the surround can or should offer more. Thanks

Hi fellows, just to check: is the PlayBar & Play:1s unable to connect via 802.11n on the 2.4GHz frequency? I'd read from somewhere that the newer SONOS series of equipment is able to even make use of 802.11ac; so at "the minimum", I was expecting it to hook onto my 2.4GHz 'n' network...? From my wireless access point management page, I always see the PlayBar & Play1:s using 802.11g "only".

Hi Am I correct in thinking the Sonos play 1 will not work on 802.11n via 2.4ghz? Reason I ask is I was about to change a setting in my Asus router on the 2.4ghz band to use N speeds only and lose the b/g. Currently its set to mixed so it supports all bands on 2.4ghz but most of my devices can do 802.11n. Only Im having a few router related issues and changing it to n only was suggested as a fix but Ive got a strange feeling that in the year 2016 the Sonos play 1 will restrict me from doing this! Thanks

I am thinking about purchasing the new Google home voice recognition product, I understand that Sonos will work with Amazons echo in the near future. Does Sonos have any information regarding google home integration?

I have a TV sound bar and play 1 speaker. Both items were added to the Sonos system and are activated however I am unable to group them. I have Living room 1 and Room 2. When I go to either of the rooms in rooms menu it is not giving me the "group" option. I tried several times. Any ideas how to fix this problem? I have no clue why "grouping" option is not coming up in either of the rooms settings. Any help will be appreciated! Paul

Hi all, I've just bought a pair of Sonos Play:1 to join my growing family of Sonos products and I'm moving into a new house so while I'm doing first fix I'd like to look at some neat ways to mount and cable these speakers on the wall. I'd like to avoid seeing cables or plugs, but I dont see any creative solutions out there apart from just taking the standard power cable down through the wall to a remote socket. Hard-wiring into the wall is an option, but by the time you've got a cover plate it's going to look a little unsightly. Anyone got any creative or neat solutions? Thanks, Tom

Hi all, hoping to clear up something. I have two Play 5s that work fine with streaming. I'm trying to connect my record player; http://musichallaudio.com/music-hall-mmf-2-2le-turntable/ and pre amp https://www.amazon.com/TC-750LC-BLACK-Professional-Moving-Magnet/dp/B000A36XZS I was sure I read elsewhere on this site that the set up would only require a y line out to one of the paired speakers, but this only gives me sound through one speaker. Also, if I wanted to cut down on wires and have the speakers a little further apart, would the Sonos connect do the job? I also have the bridge located in the house for use when streaming music. Not sure if this is relevant to this topic. Thanks in advance.

Hello all, Since line-in is not available for PLAY:1s (gosh) : 1) Can I easily connect 2 PLAY:5s to the same single desktop computer ? My sound card only has one audio output, can i use something like this : https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/41nKGYhcmQL.jpg ? 2) After the connection is done, how do I enable stereo ? 3) I plan to use the speakers for music, gaming and video. Should I expect a lag in sound rendering, even if the connection is wired ? Thanks everyone

Hi there. Just got my Play 5 and want to hook it up to my Denon DP-300F turntable. No other components. I have a bunch of Play 1s in the house. That's it. Was told that I didn't need any other hardware which seemed strange. Any help would be appreciated.

I just moved into a new apartment, and my subwoofer is not consistently working. It is a two floor apartment, and I'm considering the boost but I lived in a home with two floors previously and it worked fine. When I go into room settings it shows as a question mark. I ran a diagnostic; here is the number 7529673 - can someone please assist?

have a play 5 and a play 3 in the same room and want to create a stereo pair. The app allows me to link either to another of the same, ie. two play 5's or two play 3's, but not one of each. Why is this? Surelt the technology is the same, just different speaker size and case sound path dynamics. I should be able to pair play 1 to play 3 and play 5.

I want to be ale to take my Sonos Play 1 somewhere and have instant good sound, in a hotel or a friend's home. Just plug the Sonos to the wall and use my phone to publish a Wifi network, which Sonos connects to and plays. I realize that service quality depends on how good my data feed is to my phone, but it should be good enough, otherwise it seems its just a software job to implement it..

I am trying to connect my sonos connect to my yamaha rx 675 receiver but not getting the speakers from the receiver to also have the music from the play 1 speaker. Not sure what I've done wrong. I have the audio out on the receiver to the audio in on the connect. Help. I do have output from connect to input in receiver as well as output from receiver to input in connect.  Still can't get sonos to play on yamaha or vice versa.  Help.

Hi all currently I have 1 Playbar, 1 Sub, and 2 Play1. All grouped together in "Living Room". I would like to be able to create two groups: - Living Room TV (all of the above) - Living Room Musik (just Sub and Play 1 or Sub and Playbar) right now this is not possible as a single speaker cannot be in more than one group ......

I accidentally got lotion on the front of my speaker, and the outline of the lotion is still there and its really bothering me. Fortunately it hasn't impacted the sound of the speaker. But I was wondering if anyone knew how i can clean off the outline of where the lotion fell?

I am moving to NYC from London and have two play 1's and a playbar. Will these devices work in the US? I think I need to buy a new power cable and change the current, is that right? Thanks!

Does it matter whether you connect speakers to the 2.4 or 5 GHz network? Besides if someone has a iphone 4 or something not capable of connecting to the 5 Ghz network...

Can someone advise I had a problem indexing my music library, in short, the sonos software would not allow me to remove a music share (music folder on my PC desktop) so I decided to uninstall all the controllers on 3 mobile phones and the software on my PC and try again. However, when I re-installed the software on my PC the problem remained. I therefore followed advice on this community and carried out a factory reset on both my Play 1's and my Play 5 (Gen 2). When I tried to follow the instructions to connect to a new system the network will not recognise any of the speakers. I have also tried to connect the Sonos 5 by Ethernet cable directly to the Router, the router detects the Sonos 5 but when the option to connect is selected the installation does not go any further and I am provided a warning that the system could not connect. I have ensured the Firewall is configured to allow Sonos controllers and have turned the firewall (Norton 360) off/disabled. I have also tried switc

As a stand-alone iPhone app, TuneIn Radio can play rtmp streams no problem, but the TuneIn service within Sonos cannot do it ("incorrectly encoded" error message). Let's get rtmp capability up and running in Sonos asap!

I have read quite a few posts such as https://en.community.sonos.com/controllers-software-228995/password-to-avoid-guests-changing-music-36704 I have a dual band router and guest mode enabled. As such, when connected on guest network and I try to access the Sonos via the Android app, I'm shown that Sonos is searching for the system and can't find it! This is great. The issue is, whilst logged onto the guest network, when I use a casting app (to send music) I can access the speakers and as such, stream! This defeats the purpose of the guest network which was the advice given on the cited post above. More worryingly, this actually appears to corrupt the guest setting on the router because afterwards, I can access everything via Sonos (whilst connected on the guest network). However, I am assuming this is an issue of the router, not the Sonos system! I've seen many pubs/function rooms etc use Sonos systems and as such I have to believe there is a way to make it secure but I'v

Will sonos be partnering with HomeKit like they have done with amazon???????????
