Speakers

Is it really that advantageous to add a sub to, two play 5's (2nd gen) set up as a pair. Any feed back would be appreciated.

My only disappointment with the Sonos system is a big one: why can't I listen to the music playing on the Sonos system through my computer? is there a way to do this???

Should you leave the Play 1 switched on all the time or unplug it when not in use?

Hello I just purchased & installed a Play 3 (like it very much) my question: when not i use, is it beneficial to disconnect the power AC ? would that prolong the life of the amp ? The bridge is also "ON" constantly. I prefer not to leave my components on all the time. What is your opinion ?

Hi Hopefully someone can help, I am trying to set up my Onkyo av receiver with Sonos connect and a play:5. Id like to be able to play all my music from Onkyo and have the play 5 in a separate room playing the the same music as amp. Hope someone can help

My wife has been very resistant to any audio equipment in the formal living room, decorated in a french style. She really warmed up to the idea of the Sonos in the living room once she heard sound quality with the easy to use informative remote without seeing too much equipment. Hear is the dilemma; she wants pretty speakers for the living room they can be floor standing to mid size. I would prefer something that is elegant as opposed to be trying too hard to be inconspicuous. Budget probably ~$1500 USD. I know it is probably too low for really elegant speakers. Any suggestions?

Hi all. I finally got a Sonos 3, it's sounding great. I'm wanting to connect it to my TV and wondering how it can be done. My setup is TV with various streaming services via my PS4. I purchased an Echo Dot recently and really like how it works with my Bluetooth speakers. I'm looking to have Sonos 3 in living room and want to work out how I can set it up with my TV. Is there a way I can take a line out my TV to a wireless router and add it to the Sonia Network? Can this be done with a Sonos Bridge? Or is there a way I can take a line out TV and wireless connect to Echo Dot and then back to my Sonos speaker? An easy and quick fix would be much appreciated. Cheers

Hello, my wifi network won't show up during the set up and it is working fine otherwise and is the appropriate speed. We have hooked the sonos play 1 up using the ethernet cable provided, however we can't seem to get the network to show up through the app during set up. Any help would be great! It's our first sonos and we just got it so perhaps it's a silly mistake?

Hi there, wondering if anyone has tried their Australian-purchased Play 1 and Play 3 in the USA. Moving there in a month and wondering if it will still work okay? I have seen a couple of posts about going from UK to USA, but none about Australia to USA. I am presuming the voltage is universal and I will just need to get a socket adapter for the power source? Can I just buy new wires? It looks like they are pretty hard-wired into the speakers so not easily swapped out?

Can different music be played on different sonos speakers in different rooms at the same time?

Do the wireless speakers still have a power cord or another form of power? Thanks

I have the Playbar and 2xPlay:1 set up as surround sound, this works great for tv but when playing music I would like the Play:1s to revert to standalone or stereo, but it appears the only way to do this would be to ungroup them. It would be good to see a software driven update to this issue to make switching between modes simpler. Just wondering how many others would like to see this implemented. Thanks

Hi folks. New to Sonos but enjoying it so far. Easy set up but have one question regarding my Play 5. The volume controls on the Play 5 work as expected with my iPhone, iPad, and other music services. However, I'm using the line in cable from my Sony Bravia to get better sound out of our TV. There's a tremendous discrepancy between volume levels when I run the line in vs my other audio sources. I have to really crank the iPhone or TV remote volume controls in order to have even moderate sound levels from the TV. Any ideas on potential setting issues in either the Sonos app or my Sony Bravia sound preferences? Thanks!

Is there a way to shut down the Sonos when finished using or does it just stay on all the time?

What happened to good old fashioned Bluetooth? Wtf is with the play 1 not connecting to my laptop? I should have investigated better. Sound is good, but the speaker should just connect to all our devices, it's BS man, total BS

Evening all, Just wondering if this would be possible.... Away in the caravan, with no wifi. Could I create a wireless network using my iPhone, connect the Play 1 to that network, then stream from my iPhone/iPad to that network? There's no such thing as a stupid question, just a stupid person, so go easy on me. Thanks in advance for any help.

this is is my problem:- I have one play1 in Room - "Bed room". I have one play1 in Room- "hallway". I have two play1s (L+R) in stereo mode and a SUB in Room- "living room" questions: 1. How do i remove the play1 from "hallway" and add it to the room "living room"??? 2. How do i delete or remove "hallway" from the controller app? I tried to reset the play1 in hallway. after reset when i tried to set up this play1 as new player, the controller app didnt ask me which room i want to add. it automatically added to the room "hallway". I dont want to group different rooms. I want to move play1 from one room to another.

I have purchaced 10 sonos 3 to a bar/cafe. I need a program to force the volume limit .It's forced by the cityhall. Otherwise I can't use my speakers and will have to buy a new system

Hi, I just got a Harman Kardon Onyx studio 3, as a christmas present from work. I currently own a Sonos play 5, sub and play 1. My question; is it possible to connect the Harman Kardon to my sonos setup using a sonos connect? I would think the Harman Kardon has a built in amp. Or should I use a connect AMP? The Harman Kardon has only a aux input, so I`m also wondering about if I can connect it using the digital output on the connect? Thanks for all answers!

Hi everyone, I just purchased a couple of SONOS PLAY 1 in Spain (which is where I live). I am planning to complete befroe end of the year my SONOS System with one more SONOS PLAY 3 and a SONOS: CONNECT, to be bought from UK, where they are certainly cheaper. My questions are: 1) Would these components bought abroad (UK) work properly in Spain? 2) Would any adaptation be needed (power cord, power adaptor, I guess...)? 3) Would be there any incompatibility issue between components bought in different countries as UK/Mainland Europe? Thank you to anyone who could help me decide!!! Best wishes to all the community! 😳

I use sonos at work but want to bring them home for parties. I first connected at home and both play 1 I own worked fine. Then I connected to work and they worked fine. But when I bring them back home only one connects. If I reset it the other one connects but I can't get both to connect. Wireless is the same. Please help. I've tried over an hour with repetition, connecting via ethernet, shutting everything down and restarting it. Nothing works!

Sonos & Spotify

I like my sonos products, but sometimes when I go to a audio shop and lissen to speakers of manufactures like Dali ore Elac I hear that good floor standing speakers with good high mid and low units really sound great (and better than my play 5- old type) and sub of sonos). I saw an other company making great stuff and I see a speaker I miss in the sonos line....floor standing speakers. The Raumfeld stereo L is an example. Are there plans that there will be a Sonos 7 floor standing speaker in the future?

I work in an office with one server and several switches plus a wi-fi that goes throughout the building. It seems that I can't setup Sonos on our office Wi-Fi as it requires a username/password configuration in order to logon. I don't think we have a router either. How do I set up Sonos? Can I just plug a Boost into a spare port in a switch? I don't know much about servers so please explain in layman's terms. Thanks for all your help/

I want to use play 1 with existing Soundbar. set up suggests I need a left and right, so 2. I may also sometimes put it in another room for music. Can I use one play 1 with sound bar AND can I change location and set up of play 1 within my home. Thanks in advance.
