Speakers

Just ordered a Sonos mini sub. It would be used mainly for music  with my Sonos one’s in stereo What would be the best position. Never used a Sub before.Thank you

I was wondering if there are plans for a next generation Arc?

I was forced to change internet providers and received a new router. My ONE connects just fine, but the Play:3 says it cannot connect to the WiFi, and that I should check the password.Now I know that Play:3 doesn't work on 5GHz, so I set up a band steering rule in my router, forcing it to connect to the Play:3 on 2.4GHz. I even did the same for the ONE and my phone (at least temporarily) to make 100% sure everything will be on the same network/frequency during set-up. To no avail.My old router was also set to hybrid 2.5/5GHz and the Sonos products worked without issue. Am at my wits' end here. I'd really like to avoid operating separate 2.4 and 5GHz networks.

Hi Sonos communityI have a bunch of Sonos products and like most responsible home owners I suddenly got an interest to get my energy consumption under control.Using a electricity meter (a dedicated power meter, not a smart plug) I find that my Sonos speakers consume roughly 15W (S1), 18W (S3) and 20W (S5). It is a lot higher than mentioned on https://support.sonos.com/s/article/256 but when I look more careful (in Home Assistant) the devices are in "paused" state, not "idle"... Hm, perhaps that is my problem.The same article as above explains how/when the devices turn into "idle" (and reach the advertised low energy consumption state) but regardless of what I do I can't observe that ever happening. None of the devices are playing anything, I wait for 3 minutes but nothing happens... I wait for 30 minutes, still nothing. I don't have any surround system which can cause a longer delay accordig to the article. When I look at the state history (in Home Assistant again) I can't see any devi

Sonos stopped supporting my expensive Play5 speakers only a few years after I paid for them.  Will they stop supporting these new products too? They are expensive and it sucks when they become soundless Paper Weights.  

Hi,I’m new to Sonos and I bought a used Sonos Play:5(gen1) hoping to connect it to my Apple TV-4k using AirPlay. Both the Sonos Play:5(gen1) and Apple TV-4k are connected to the same wifi network, but I am unable to discover the Apple TV-4k as an ‘Airplay Compatible product’ using the Sonos S1 app on my iPhone. My Apple TV doesn't present the Sonos Play:5 as one of the audio output devices either. Is there any way to pair Sonos Play:5(gen1) and Apple TV-4k? If not, what Sonos device would you recommend for streaming sound from Apple TV-4k as well as iPhones. Thanks  a lot.

Hola, quería saber si se puede oír en el Sonos one sl audios de webs de internet, directamente desde el ordenador sistema WindowsGracias

My Sonos Move is so useless we’ve stopped trying to use it.What a total waste of money.I’ve had it for over two years and it constantly disconnects itself from WiFi AND Bluetooth.When I’ve finally got BOTH connected again it still won’t play ANYTHING - WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY.I bought a cheap ‘ Creative Muvo Mini’  Bluetooth speaker and it works perfectly EVERY time - why is SONOS so difficult to use! Sent from my iPad

My speakers are intermittently appearing and disappearing from my Sonos apps. On my phone I usually get only the Beam, but sometimes only the Play:3. On my laptop I get Move most of the time but not always. Really weirdly, I can play music through Spotify connect through the Play:3 via the sonos connection at the same time that the same speaker does not appear in the sonos app. what is going on and how can I fix it?! All are connected on the same wifi, I’ve tried switching off and on multiple times. I’ve tried to find the speakers in the sonos app by adding a new product to my system. It’s hugely frustrating!

My speakers (sonos 1) and sub keep disconnecting from the app. Almost as if they go into a power saver mode after an hour or so and then I have to power them down and on again to get them to reconnect Why do they not just stay on all the time?

Hello SONOS Community:While I am able listen to Spotify from my PC (via Bluetooth) on my Sonos One speaker, I unfortunately cannot use Sonos One for any other audio from my PC...When I view Bluetooth devises on my PC Settings, I see the Sonos One, but I cannot access or activate it.  Any help would be appreciated.      

Does anyone know if Sonos make a case for the Roam? (When travelling with it, a protective case would be really useful)

Hi, just bought Sonos One SL Shadow Edition. Trying to find out the manufacturer date or if I have airplay 1 or 2 serial A201 2207CP [Redacted]

I just got wireless fives and a wireless subwoofer. I’m trying to pair it to my samsung smart tv. They automatically synced to my tv since they are on the same router. I cant get them to play though when watching tv. It doesn’t give me the option to choose them as surround sound. Not sure if I need to get a sound bar. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello all. I realize this is a ridiculous question, but I’m hoping you’ve heard worse lol. I was perusing Craigslist and I found a One SL, basically in open box condition, but it has the logo of a company on the top (I assume screen printed) because it was given away as a promotional item. The price is crazy good, but I would rather not have the logo on there. Anybody have a clue if the type of plastic used for a One SL is susceptible to getting eaten by acetone? Any other ideas to remove the unwanted logo without damaging the plastic?

Until earlier today I was able to connect Apple TV to any Airplay enabled Sonos product by swiping down in whatever I was watching on Apple TV to bring up ATV Audio menu to Sonos. The Apple remote then controlled volume, pause etc etc. As of this afternoon, the Sonos products have disappeared on the Apple drop down Audio menu. Any ideas as to what might have changed? This has been working perfectly for the last 2 years! Has there been a falling out b/t Sonos and Apple? 

 I bought a sonos five from Amazon in Japan, do I need a transformer or a universal voltage for use in China?

Hi Community,New to Sonos. I apologize if this is noob question. I have Roam SL paired with 2 devices, (PC and Android). When I use with PC, I must Disconnect before using with Android. When using with Android, I must Disconnect before using with PC. Is this by design?I have Bose headset which I can pause one device and listen on the other without Disconnecting and Reconnecting. (Both devices remain connected)Any insight would be appreciated!Chip

How many Sonos Roam speakers can be connected to one network?

Of course I have an Android so can't use true play but I have a sonos roam which does have true play.   Is it possible to true play my Theatre Room which consists of an Arc, 2 play 5's and a sub with my Roam? If not then wouldn't this be an excellent way to true play your equipment?  You figure this would be the next best option for sonos just means more money in their pockets. 

Overnight all my Sonos Speakers ( 2xPlay1, 1x Play3, Playbase) except one dropped off. The exception was my Move which was switched off. When I turned that on this morning it connected to the app.  I have been through all the trouble shooting steps. The final comment was " try again later"! Any thoughts or advice anyone?

 I noted that with OS 14.12 that 5GHz WiFi is supported on my older Play:1Stupidly I went ahead with trying to change network settings.The mobile app just wouldn't prompt to change or add settings in Manage Networks → Update Networks, even after deleting the existing network and connecting by wired, it just kept on looping round not finding the Sonos (as is mentioned in other threads here - as well as prompting to enable Bluetooth).I started to worry I’d never get wireless working again, in the end I factory reset the Sonos (hold Play button while powering on) and luckily the mobile app then did find the Play:1 and prompted to connect to the 5GHz SSID straight away.But the reset lost all settings, services, favourites, connections to the library, to Alexa, everything in fact, so a simple network change ended up taking hours of work.

I am looking to replace my 15 year old Sonos Pay 5s n the near future and take advantage of the upgrade scheme.  I have read in the rumour mills that Sonos are going to replace these with mult directional sound speakers.   Is there any truth in this and if so what is the approximate time scales?

I have two Sonos Ones.  I recently replaced my wifi router but kept the same SSID and password.  Both Sonos Ones could not connect.  I connected one with an Ethernet cable and initialized it ok.  Then when I disconnect the Ethernet, it is not found.  I tried the second One and get the same behaviour: works on Ethernet but not wifi.Any suggestions?I’ve updated the Ones, and reinstalled the Android app.Thanks for any suggestions.

I know this has been discussed earlier in general, but couldn’t find this specific detail mentioned, so: why not allow pairing Sub with Move with the limitation, that Move needs to be in it’s charging base. Idea here is obviously that the charging base would be in static location, and if you lift the Move from it’s charging base, it would automatically disconnect the Sub. And when placing back, it would automatically reconnect to Sub.This is the kind of smart audio I’d expect from Sonos.
