Speakers

HiI have a couple of speakers that mean I have to use S1 controller app, can the new Roam be used with this or is it only S2 compatible 

From my notebook I could see Sonos arc accessible via network share.I see the following folders available:What coudl I do with them?? 

Okay so I have 2 Sonos S1’s that I have setup in my kitchen as a stereo pair and it was working great I had them connected to WiFi and everything it was amazing and I was really pleased with it. But if the WiFi connection is for some reason stopped (either by someone Turing it off or power cuts) it will refuse to automatically reconnect and I have to go and reconnect them manually. And with multiple speakers in multiple rooms that’s quite a challenge! I run a few of my other songs speakers because I know the WiFi connection is quiet a challenge but surely there is a way to make it connect on its own?  I have attached the reconnect reminder but if this could be updated that would be amazing :). 

Hello, my Sonos One SL’s sound first became muffled after about the first 10 minutes of listening. That time, the sound became normal again after I did 3x factory reset.The next day, the sound became muffled again, and this time factory resets doesn’t fix the problem, and this problem exists across all streaming service and also airplay.Wifi connection shouldnt be a problem because my other sonos one SL in another room works fine.Please help.  

How do you power up the Roam from hibernation (deep sleep)?

I’m considering buying a set of Play 3’s since they are available for around $100 used, but I’m wondering how much longer they will be usable. I use S2 to control my beam, sub, move, and connect. It sounds like the way Sonos handles these situations is they will eventually stop supporting it and stop providing updates, then one day certain services may stop working when the streaming services like Spotify are updated to a newer technology than the Play 3 can handle. Or will Sonos just brick the Play 3 and offer people a discount to upgrade? If I can get 2 or 3 years out of the Play 3’s it’ll probably be worth it.

I currently have a pair of Fives set up as stereo for music only listening. I’m using a turntable and CD deck as sources. Works great. I was wondering if I could add another pair of either Ones or Fives to the existing Fives for multi channel audio like SACDs?

Hos can I se which WiFi Move is use when I had 3 WiFi configured in Sonos app?

Can I use the Sonos Move to listen to programmes on an LG smart tv ? 

I am planning to get a Roam and leave it constantly plugged in to use it primarily as a wifi speaker, with the option of taking it out and about when needed. My question is, will leaving it constantly plugged in degrade the battery life? The FAQ for the Move explicitly states that leaving it on the charging base will not degrade battery life. However, the equivalent FAQ for the Roam is notably missing this reference. Thanks for your help!

This is going to be a controversial post but I believe it needs to be discussed.. I have both the move and the roam and I love them both.  Every time I take a trip I beg myself to bring the move but I look at my backpack I have to carry on the airplane and the weight of the move and the roam always wins…Then, I get to my hotel room and fire up the roam and start playing music and somehow I miss my speakers at home and wish I had taken the move.Size is everything and I know there is only so much sound a small little lightweight speaker can provide.. so I ask the question, can any other speaker in the size footprint and price range of the roam deliver better sound? I come from the Bose world and replaced my soundlink 2 with the roam and it definitely sounds better than the Bose but still lacking for me…

I can't be the only one that thinks the Play 3 needs updating,it's clearly the best of all the Sonos lineup,The most versatile and best sounding without losing an arm or leg.. C'mon Sonos give us an Updated version.!!

I have a stereo pair of Fives that has a line in from a Denon turntable. The Denon has a built in pre amp and this all works fine. However it seems the overall volume isn’t as loud as I feel it should me. It’s perfectly listenable but less than the CD player also attached. my question is if I were to bypass the turntables built in preamp and instead add an external preamp might my overall volume increase?

I seem to be having a similar issue with one of my Playbases not being able to access the wireless network.  My support diagnostics2039956771.

I have 2 Play 1’s set up for a surround sound with my Beam. They worked great for at over a year. Lately, the Play 1’s just disappear and Sonos doesn’t recognize them anymore. So my room where I have the surround sound set up  says (Beam + ? + ?).The steps I have followed to correct:Remove the Surround Sound setup on the App Factory-reset the Play 1’s and rename them Completely set up the Surround Sound again.I usually have to do this 3 or 4 times before it is successful. And within days the surround sounds doesn’t recognize the Play 1’s again. I’m getting very frustrated. I really, really like the surround sound (when it works) and I’m wondering why I didn’t have this issue for over a year and now it happens all the time.FYI, I have a mesh WiFi in my house. Same one that I’ve had for several years, so it isn’t that. Would appreciate some help!!

Does anyone know if the Sonos One SL can be connected to a Smart TV?

Hi,Just wondering if other owners have the same issue.When I put my roam in my bag the on/off switch is not protected and it happens that it switches on and when I want to use it a few days later the batteries are empty. I believe the on/off switch should be not sticking out but be either recessed or otherwise protected from being accidentally pressed to avoid unintentional switching the speaker on. Thanks, Andreas

I searched the forum but cannot find an answer. Does the One (SL) have better WiFi/Sonosnet radio or antennas than the older Play1? Will it connect better/stronger to Sonosnet than a Play1 will do? 

I set up my second Roam to the first one and used the PAIR feature in settings. All goes well. Music plays in stereo, etc. But when I come back later to play music the two Roams have ‘separated’ on their own and assigned themselves new names.One is named the original Roam’s name (which was the name of the room it was in) and the new Roam just takes on a generic name like ala ‘Sonos Roam’.I relink them, they play. And then in awhile they disconnect on their own.Customer support says I’ve got to go into some crazy-a55 process with my Comcast router, and settings and what not -- but I have a feeling there is a simpler solution. Yes? \Any suggestions appreciated, thanks. 

Just opened my $169 Roam - and was shocked to learn it didn’t come with any kind of carrying case and/or a strap.  Seems that for this kind of money and a product that is meant to “roam” a case should be included.  

Is there a clear explanation of the Roam’s power modes anywhere? I have been experimenting with it and am confused by a few things when it is not being charged.Firstly there seem to be two ways of it sleeping: sometimes it sleeps about a minute after being full-on and idle, and other times it stays awake for a long time.Secondly the white light is sometimes on when it is awake, but sometimes the light is not on when it is awake. I can’t tell what the difference between these two modes is, or how it chooses.The red led does seem to be consistently on when charging, so that one I understand.There is also some weirdness with UPnP events during the sleep/re-awake cycle but that probably just needs more poking around on my part.

I just fitted the Sonos sub on its side, under my bed. I cant begin to explain to you how much more bass you actually feel and deeper tones. I guess the bed frame acts like an enclosure.This has absolutely transformed my experience. If you like the Sub now, you need to do this immediately.

A bit of preamble… I own a trio of Sonos One speakers and am considering buying a Sonos Roam.  After a recent move, I found myself with spotty Internet access.  I have a travel router that I use to make my own private WiFi network for my apartment, but it is not connected to the Internet (unless I turn my phone into a mobile hotspot).  Currently, if I want to use my Sonos system in this (admittedly janky) set-up, I need to use my phone as a hotspot - and even then there’s some lag time.Enter the Sonos Roam.  Obviously, I can play music from my phone over the Roam via a bluetooth location.  What I want to know is, can I use the Roam’s Sound Swap feature to play music from my phone onto my entire Sonos system (assuming that my WiFi network is not connected to the Internet)?  Feel free to ask clarifying questions if I botched the description of my jury-rigged WiFi...

Hi. I’m new here :) I was an audio addict years ago and had a big setup. This was when CDs and big DACs ruled the landscape.  fast forward 15 years, 3 different houses and now two children and my listening has changed dramatically. The CDs are gone, the big 2way setup is gone, and it’s all spotify and casting to different speakers. Yep I went for convenience over clarity!  Early this year I bought a play5 gen 2 for my living room. It sounded good but wasn’t that exiting. Just nice and clear. I came across another at a good price a few months ago so I grabbed it and set up a stereo pair. This sounded a LOT better. Since then I have changed to tidal, but learned that Sonos doesn’t like their hi res audio. (I’m steaming off my iPhone 12) So a week ago I set up a Qobuz account and started streaming their Hires gear. This sounded so much better, it reminded me a lot of my “old glory days” just with a fifth of the physical footprint!  Rhys has me wondering what people use to feed their 5s. I

I have two Sonos Play 5 paired for stereo plus the Sonos Sub.  Is there anyway for me to connect these to play as a stereo pair plus sub to my TV.
