Speakers

This has been a long requested feature for years. Why limit the listening experience to music only? I love the sound when pairing two Play Ones. I wanted to keep them, but the fact I couldn't also stream the sound of my movies from my MacBook was a deal breaker. Why would I want to invest hundreds or thousands on a system that's limited to music only. I have a MacBook Pro, and I watch plenty of movies. Why should I have to buy additional speakers from another company just to enjoy movies? No one should have to resort to buying a play5 only to plug it into an airport express through the auxport. No one wants any more wires sticking out of their speakers. Using the auxport defeats the purpose of a wireless solution. Why won't Sonos allow software driver based audio output through their PC/Mac controllers that will allow any app to stream audio. For example, I want to run VLC player or Divx movie player and have the audio stream through the Sonos system. Can we get an ex

Have read the instructions on how the RCA to 3.5mm cable can be used to connect to TV so went and bought one, but for some reason it is not working. No sound at all coming through. I have a Panasonic 4K tv and 2 Play 5's (2nd gen) set up as stereo pair mounted either side of the tv. Any help appreciated.

I just purchased a Play 5 last week. I am completly impressed and am looking forward to buying more components! I seem to have a rattle sound when songs or voices with more bass are playing. It is quite noticable and I am certain there is a fix for this. So, what would the fix be??

Hi All, I am a new Sonos owner very happy with my Playbar + Sub combination in room that is 20 feet x 15 feet. I would like to add more speakers to output music that is already being played on the Sonos from my phone. If they can also work as surrounds then that is good too :) I've narrowed my choices to three - (1) Connect my existing Focal Little Bird (two speakers + integrated amp/subwoofer) to the Playbar + Sub combo using a Connect (2) Connect my old Bose Acoustimass cube speakers (I have 5 can connect up to 4 I think) to the Playbar + Sub using a connect: Amp (3) buy a pair of Play 1 / 3 to connect with the Playbar + Sub I would like to evaluate these choices in terms of the below: (a) are combinations (1) and (2) possible i.e. will a connect work with the Focal (as it already an amp) and a connect:amp with the Bose cube speakers? (b) can the Bose cube speakers work properly in combination (2)? I believe they cannot handle low frequencies so the Sub has to filter

I am trying to decide if it is appropriate to house a Sonos connect outside and if so if there is a weatherproof case available.

My sonos keeps switching to rooms currently hidden

We installed your (6) Play:3 and used a bridge (ethernet) to connect it to a cable box rca. The problem that we are having is that unless the system is set to compressed, it crackles in and out. We have tried every channel option, put the line level to the highest, made sure drivers were updated. We are using a Ubiquiti LR PRO APs for our wifi system. Your confirmation number is: 7262290.

I have a Sonos Connect that is connected to my surround speakers in my living room. In my office I have 1 Play 1 and in my kitchen I have 2 play 1 speakers set up for stereo. All is set up in a single group and it have worked like a charm until a few days ago. Now I have delays of approximately 2 seconds between the speakers in each room. I have tried to look around for a solution, but have not been able to finde anything similar my setup. All speakers are running wireless except the Connect that is wired.

Hi! I'm new to this and am building a house. My plan is to have speakers around the whole house and was wondering if there was a limit to how many subs can be grouped together with everything else? I would like to have one in the rumpus room and another in the kitchen area

I have my Sky Q connected to my Playbar using HDMI in and Optical out through my Samsung Smart TV. The sound quality is poor, very tinny. I find if I set Sky Q to Dolby some channels have no sound at all, so I have to set it to Normal. My TV audio is set to PCM. I don't have a Sonos sub, and I am finding I have to set the bass to maximum to get any depth at all to the sound. I also have two Play 1s set up for surround sound but when using Sky Q I hardly hear anything through them, just the occasional almost undetectable sound. Playing music through the system is fine, and playing Netflix on my TV through the Sonos system is fine as well. it's just Sky Q. When I switch to Spotify or Netfix from my Smart TV the volume blasts out all of a sudden, the Sky output volume is extremely low. I don't want to connect Sky Q audio optical out directly to the Playbar as then the playbar won't receive any other audio source from the Smart TV, e.g. Netflix, Amazon Video, Spotify etc. and I don't

Hi there. New to Sonos here. I am trying out a Play1 for the first time and enjoy it for the most part. But I am having an issue with the volume randomly turning up to a very loud state. There is no one else using the app to control the volume (which was my first thought). Does any one have any ideas on this?

I have a continuous flashing red play/pause button on my play3, it remains blinking red even after factory reset. What could be the problem? Playback works fine...

I have Sonos Play 5 that is wired and Play 1 that uses Wifi. Spotify is skipping songs. Sometimes every song skips, and sometimes one, two songs play fine until next song skips after 30s - 2 minutes. I have tried to change wifi channels but the problem still continues on 1, 6 and 11. I have a 50 mbit internet connection and Airport extreme AC router.  I have sent a diagnostics report with number 3956286.

If I buy a wireless bluetooth vinyl player can i stream that straight to my sonos set up?

Hello! I have 3 rooms grouped together. In one of the rooms (Play:1, The toilet), I loose power to my Sonos every time I turn off the lights. I was hoping it would start playing again once lights were turned on but I can`t find anything about "autoplay" or similar in options. Obviously I have to group this room up again with the others every time the lights has been turned off and its kinda...irritating--:rolleyes: ...espescially on beer-nights where this light goes on and of quite often... If this isnt gonna work out as I planned Im afraid I bought one Sonos too many, since I never play music "in-here-only". I just wanted the feeling that my whole house was full of music all the time(: Any tips is much appreciated, thank you

I have 2 play 5 units paired , and they have worked without a problem since purchase . This morning they, and the paired sub all dropped off the network, When I physically examined the units, one of the play 5 units had no led light on. I have tried different power sockets, and a different power lead, but the unit does not flash the led when switched on, and is not recognised on the network. I used the pair in the morning, put them on mute, and then this afternoon this problem happened. Is their any way to reset or do I need a replacement ?

I would like to be able to play high pitched sounds through my outside speakers to silence the dogs around my. Is there any songs or whatever I can load into a play list or is there any way to play an app through them?

So I have 2 connect amps, running 2 "zones" of built in speakers in my house. I want to play the tv on one of the zones. I go to Best Buy, guy tells me to buy a sonos "connect"connect it to the direct tv box(which is the small genie box) connect it using the single orange coax cable. So hook it all up, everything's connected. But I can not figure out how to make it play now that it is all connected. On my app it shows different "rooms" and the connect is listed as a room. Please help!!!!

Hi! I recently purchased a home that has two connect amps with in ceiling speakers throughout the house. I successfully connected one to the great room and the other to the movie room, but I have speakers in my master bathroom that I cannot figure out how to connect to an amp. The previous owner said that they had them connected to the connect amp that runs the movie room. I have searched this website and I cannot figure out how to add a room so that I can get the music to play in the master bathroom. Help!! I'm very frustrated.

I know this is such a common question but I couldn't find the answer... We have a whole system connected to our home WiFi but we needed an speaker to take somewhere else where there's no internet connection. We knew that Play 5 is the only speaker type that has a connection to use offline. However, we tried connecting a normal audio cable both with my IPhone and a laptop and the speaker wouldn't detect it... Can somebody help please 🙂

I was playing around inside my speakers and found Trueplay info and the difference metric. What does this mean? My speakers reading are Play 5 - 7.7 Play 1 kitchen - 10.9 Play one bedroom - 6.5 I'm too curious what can I learn from this info? Is 0 no change? What does it go up to? How can I see what EQ has been applied? And no I am not changing anything in the browser login so don't worry ? And while I'm on Trueplay topic: Is any IOS device better than the other as far as measurements go? Is an iPad mic worse/better than the IPhone? As far as the waving goes, do you also point at the ceiling and floor too or just the walls from top to bottom? Do you only face the room boundaries or do you cross the middle of the room too? What % of the time should be spent in the main listening area? Should we sit down in the listening area? What gives the best results? There really needs to be a more comprehensive instruction manual for Trueplay. The 30 sec demo in

I have an Apple-TV and projector that I would like to connect to a SONOS surround system if possible. I am not sure if this is possible and if so, how to build the surround system. Neither the Apple-TV, nor the projector has an optical line-out for sound. Are there any possibility to build a surround system with Apple-TV and a projector or do I have to use a TV-set?

What sounds better ?

How would I go about connecting my sonos play 1 and roku 1? I'm not using a smart tv but since both devices are using wifi I was wondering how I would be able to use the sonos to play sound

the controller app on my mac stopped being able to access Spotify, the iphone app still works fine though and I can play spotify-music just fine on my SONOS system. When it's playing, the mac app shows the right song playing and can control the speakers but I can't bring up "info" on the track or do a search. so: iphone app works perfectly, spotify is working fine, the sonos speakers are fine, the mac app connects to the speakers fine -- but not to the spotify service. My comcast/xfinity connection has been pretty flaky lately but this behavior happens even when everything is stable. I've tried restarting my network devices, tried my other wi-fi network, i've reinstalled the osx sonos app, removed and reinstalled the spotify service too. help? diagnostics : 7234032
