Finding speaker controls

I applied a small clear plastic glue button to the audio + switch on top of the speaker. Now, even in the dark I can utilize one of the three options (lower, up or off).

Sonos memory spec over the years, interesting Reddit

Just seen this: https://www.reddit.com/r/sonos/comments/es42jk/32mb_no_longer_enough_chart_shows_installed_ram/ Could be being harsh, but surely as memory got way cheaper, it would have made sense for Sonos to increase memory sizes from year to year? Look at the lousy amount Play:5 Gen1 had from the start.

Using a speaker switch with Sonos Amp

I have just created a music room to enable me to listen to Sonos - via Sonoa Amp or a Cyrus system to play CD’s to the same speakers, connected to a speaker switch. After connecting up with the switch connected to Sonos I can start to play music but as soon a I increase the volume the sound stops and the Amp shows a flashing red light.I have now seen some posts around this subject and looking for advice - I just bought a relatively cheap (non powered) speak switch on Amazon.Any advice greatefully received

Sonos Move Bluetooth and multiple devices

I set up my Sonos Move on my iPhone. I can play from my iPhone using Bluetooth and Wifi no problem. However, when I try to connect to the Move via Bluetooth on other devices (e.g. my iPad or my wife's iPhone), it does not appear in the device list for connection. Even if I am disconnected from the Move on my iPhone. Can other devices not just connect to the Move via bluetooth automatically? I tried to add the Move in the Sonos App on the other devices but the Sonos App couldn't find the Move. Any help appreciated. Thanks

Temporarily adding Sonos speakers to an existing system

This article discusses how to add your speakers to an existing system. If you are taking your speaker to another location that does not have an existing Sonos system in place, these instructions will not apply to you. In that case, you can simply set up a new Sonos system. How do we get your speakers added to another system? Say, at a friend or family member’s house.This is a fairly straightforward process and should not take too long. Sonos products can remember the credentials for up to 16 wireless networks. When you bring your device  home, it will automatically reconnect to your WiFi network. This is unless you Factory Reset your Sonos device, which we do not recommend. Things you will need before you get started: The WiFi password of this “new” network. The network needs to have an existing Sonos system set up already. You will need to have the owner of this system’s Sonos account information at hand.   The steps to take: Connect your mobile device (that has the Sonos app insta

Sonos Speaker error message: Not Registered

My Sonos app just updated which prompted my Sonos Move and Play 1 speakers to update. In the updating process, these two speakers are not connecting to my system with a “Not Registered “ message for both. I cannot reach tech help for assistance. Any guidance to correct this matter?

Better Audio through Apple TV than the Sonos App

Does anyone know how to get better audio through the Sonos app or through airplay? I have a Beam gen 2 with a Sub connected to my TV and two Ones (One in the kitchen and one in my bedroom). The Beam and sub sound amazing when playing music through my Apple TV but when I use the Sonos app or airplay, the sound quality and bass decrease dramatically. The crisp vocals and high tones fade away and the bass loses its punch, especially with the lowest notes. It sounds like the frequency range is being reduced. This is with Apple Music, Spotify, and Amazon music. I have also tested different audio formats such as Atmos, Stereo PCM, and Amazon ultra hd. I have also tested different sources with the same results. It is annoying because I like multi room listening, which means I have to listen at a lower quality (in the Sonos app or over airplay). I have heard much better sound quality and bass over air play and bluetooth with much cheaper systems so it’s hard to believe that is the cause.

Roam - good reviews

So it looks like actual Roam units are now available and have been sent to reviewers:https://www.theverge.com/22368487/sonos-roam-bluetooth-speaker-review-featureshttps://www.engadget.com/sonos-roam-review-130039811.htmlGenerally positive reviews.Maybe preorders will ship soon since they clearly got a bunch from the factory.

Play 1 is detected by Sonos App but does not connect to wifi.

I have a standalone Play 1 in my bedroom that does not connect to my wifi anymore. It worked fine for years, the problem started when I changed my wifi from 2.4 Ghz to 5 Ghz, and then after back to 2.4 Ghz (because I learned Sonos does not work well with 5 Ghz).The Sonos system in my living room is still working perfectly.I tried everything to make it work again without result:unplug power and restart reset to factory settings connect with ethernet cable to update sofware  reboot my routerEverytime when I try to connect the Play 1 to wifi using the steps in the Sonos app, I get the same message: “we could not connect the play 1 to your wifi”.The 2.4 Ghz frequency (active) and 5 Ghz frequency (inactive) have separate names in my router, so there can be no confusion in the system about that.Thank you very much for your suggestions :)

Sonos Move as a Car Speaker

i have a 4 door Jeep Wrangler and would like to upgrade the factory speakers. I’m curious if the Sonos Move would be a better sound quality option provided I had a docking setup within the Jeep for the Move. Can you pair two Bluetooth sources at the same time as well so a person could connect to the car audio and the Sonos Move simultaneously from a smartphone and play music through the Move and car audio?

Move has de-registered and wont re-register

Hi community,So have had a sonos system using the S1 app for approx 10 years: absolutely brilliant. However, have recently got a Move, ditched the play 5 and bridge that was preventing me using the s2 controller and it has all got difficult. Short version is I used S1 app to remove play 5 and bridge. I got a message to say bridge didn’t remove but it had disappeared from system. Move to the new app, very clunky but worked. Tried to add the move, didn’t work. Looking on forums I reckon it was due to ghost bridge. Tried again next day, all worked - delighted! However now a week further on and app now tells me move not registered. Got through the process and doesn’t work. Tried all the suggested tips, unplugging products, router, resetting app etc. App tells me I have play 1, play 3 and playbar on system. However logging in via browser I also see my old bridge. Where do I go from here?!

App update issues

Like many others, there are so many issues since the new app update. Along with lack of alarm control, I’m having major issues finding Move 2 on the app, before even when powered off you could see it as part of your system and could ‘wake it up’ - no more! It no longer appears and when switched on manually, trying to select any music service it constantly shows an error message to say it failed and try again. The only way for it to work is to group it with another speaker, select the music service and try about 10 times to ungroup as I want only the Move 2 to play. Also, playback stops constantly after about 5 minutes when playing from Spotify.So many more issues but this is the latest annoying one!
