Speakers

Hi All,Hoping some could help me. I haven't been able to find a concrete answer.I want to ‘stream’ vinyl from my turntable to my Apple HomePods. Not the Mini’s, but the large first gen HomePods. From what I can tell, they are Airplay 2 compatible. I have added the Sonos AMP into Homekit (Home app) on my iPhone.My current setup is: Phono/Line out from the turntable into my Sonos AMP. Considering the Sonos AMP is Airplay 2 compatible, along with my HomePods, I thought the Sonos App would find my HomePods. This however, doesn’t seem to be the case. Am I missing something, or is my logic of the Sonos AMP ‘seeing’ my HomePods something it cannot do?Any information would be very welcome!

Hey everyone,Every patch / update I always consider posting some thoughts on what I'd love to see in follow-on updates, so posting this time around.This first set is really what I would consider 'quality-of-life' improvements based on my usage (in no priority order): Separate volume controls for the different audio 'channels' (e.g. the assistant voice, the alarm, the audio streaming, etc.). Why: I frequently find the Alexa voice is not as loud as I'd like, so want to increase her volume while not increasing the music volume Allowing mixing of sound (and volume) between the streaming audio and external input on the Beam / Arc / Fives Why: I have a Beam and Arc hooked up to Xboxes and sometimes my family and I would like music to continue to play while playing a game on the Xbox (easily mix in-game sounds and your streaming music) Setting Assistant microphone sensitivity Why: I have a Roam in the bathroom and Ones in the bedroom and when I call 'Alexa' while in the bedroom

I am playing music through Spotify to a few devices: Speakers attached to an airport express, Denon Receiver, Computer, and Sonos Move.  After 20 minutes or so you can here a click on Sonos Move and then the music gets out of sync, like an echo.  If I turn the spotify connection off for Sonos Move and back on it will run for another 20 minutes or so.  My connection to Sonos: Spotify on a Mini Mac, Orbi Router to Orbi Satellite to SonosI noticed that I’m getting RX Packets dropped (see below):br0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 48:A6:B8:EE:92:66 inet addr:192.168.1.22 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::4aa6:b8ff:feee:9266%702539728/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:9703223 errors:0 dropped:67071 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:571522 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:4471608129 (4.1 GiB) TX bytes:208990338 (199.3

Hi Something I found strange the other day. When my sonos Roam is connect to my wifi network I can use it with Google assistant to request song but when I leave my house I can't.. Seems strange to me that the mic operation is not transferred from the phone when connected over Bluetooth.. Or is it just me? 

My Sonos roam arrived the night before we went on holiday last week.  I am pleased with the flexibility of the wifi and bluetooth modes, but it soon became apparent after we got to our destination that the bluetooth device switching on the Roam is very poor.  We had 3 people in the house who paired to the speaker at various points to play their music choices, but when the next person came along, it was a great big faff / fuss to work out who’s phone or iPad was hogging the connection, and ask them to turn off their bluetooth in order to free up the roam to connect to the next person’s device.   We have a bose soundlink mini which allows you to cycle through the existing paired phones/devices and provides some oral feedback on each press “Connected to Michael’s iPhone” *press* “Connected to Michael’s iPad” *press* etc…   Can Sonos please consider something similar?     

I actually did not know that neither Roam or Move connects to the Sonosnet (but to the router’s WIFI directly), when I bought my Roam. Which is a bit sad, because I do have wired speakers scattered around the house, but only one router. Do you guys think they will ever enable this through a software update? Update: I totally see I forgot to mention sonosnet in the title, and it seems like I cannot edit that, or delete this post to redo it.. 

As stated in the title, I think the Sonos S1 devices (such as the Connect Amp, the Connect and the Playbar) are all connecting to the one and only Google Wifi router in the other room. I would like them to connect to Google Wifi AP that is in the same room as they are. I have everything working except this issue, all the units have a “weak connection” to the Wifi. It would be great if there is a way to make the Sonos units see the local AP.

So please note this is different from: That topic is discussing multiple SONOS networks. I just want to connect to a new network, without another Sonos setup.Use case:I have a small Sonos setup at home, with the controller app on my phone. I have a Roam on that network, working fine. I go on holiday, with my phone, laptop, and Sonos. I connect the phone, and the laptop, to the WiFi at the hotel or wherevever I want to connect my Roam to the same networkI cannot work out how to do this.I proceed through the app guidance on connecting to a new network, and of course it cannot find the Sonos Roam, since the Roam isn’t on the network. (See screenshots below). I can connect to the Roam fine by Bluetooth, and it seems that logically I should be able to “send” the credentials for the WiFi network to the Roam so that it can connect, but there isn’t a way to do this. The help just tells me to go through the process shown in the screenshots.Presumably I could factory reset the Roam, uninstall th

Create a new topic because Sonos One not working on m1 Mac mini through Airplay | Sonos Community was marked as answered incorrectly. Could anyone confirm that Sonos is not compatible with M1 Mac? Just got a new mac mini, but I can’t Airplay music to my Sonos One Thank you 

Bonjour est ce sonos compte revoir le Sub ? En sortir un plus gros avec au moins des hauts parleurs de 10 pouces, peut importe l encombrement plus le haut parleur est gros mieux c est. Bonne soirée à tous le monde 

Seems like there’s zero benefit from putting Roam into sleep mode instead of turning it off. Drains battery and does not offer the convenience of remote wake up from app. Then what’s the point of the sleep mode?

Anyone know what this week's system update addressed?  Is there somewhere that Sonos post update notes? 

I bought the Roam to use as an external speaker for the Xfinity app on my iPad.  I only want to use it in Bluetooth mode but, every time you turn on the Roam, it starts up in WiFi and you have to press and hold the power button to turn on BT.  Any way to have the Roam default to Bluetooth when you first turn it on or turn off WiFi connection permanently or something?   

I have read a few of the questions similar to my issue and tried a number of the recommended fixes, yet I cannot resolve my intermittent audio issues related exclusively to my “Line In” configuration, could use some brain muscle…  I have 10 devices linked to my Sonos system along with multiple audio sources from which to hear the sweet sounds of Sonos in pretty much every room of my home.  However, no matter where I access my “Line-In” source, I cannot solve this intermittent sound hiccup, going silent from a millisecond to a few seconds at most.  Guaranteed to happen on any average 3.5 minute song as an example, and would expect 3-4, maybe more of these quick but painful black outs in this example, but nothing consistent to be clear.  Here is the configuration for this source…  I create hiking/travel trail review videos as a hobby and spend probably too much time on my PC (Windows 10 OS).  I wanted a better audio sound than my PC speakers so I physically installed my Play 3 in the sam

Hi everyone,After some advice here.I recently had 2 Sonos in ceiling speakers installed and sold my 2 existing Sonos Ones being used as surrounds. This is something I’ve done many times now and I’ve always remembered to reset the Sonos before sending.For some reason I had a brain snap and have mailed these 2 speakers but forgotten to reset them (I only remembered afterwards). What is the best way to ensure my account details aren’t immediately available to the new owner? Is it best to reset all my passwords?I’m kicking myself on how stupid I was to forget this, but would appreciate any advice. Thanks

Trying to help hubby connect to our Sonos Roam, whilst away from home.  Bluetooth is connected, blue light on the Roam.  His phone is saying it is connected, however he can not play music.  When he tries from the app it is saying that it is looking for a network.  The Roam has been added to our home network.  The hotel Wi-Fi will not have a Sonos network….. tried turning off Wi-Fi all together. 

Good morning,Last week I bought the Sonos Roam and installed it. As always, vertly easy to add a Sonos speaker! I've added to a room where I already have a Sonos One. They play together, but when I want to regulate the volume, this is only possible for the One, the Roam is visually on mute. With the buttons on the Roam I can change the volume, but not via the app.Is there anybody with a solution for this?Thank you all and have a great day!Stefan 

I am using eARC via my Apple TV to play audio from my TV ( LG C1) to my HomePod. That seems to be working fine except that it doesn’t seem to recognize the Symfonisk stereo pair that I also have connected to the Apple TV. Is there a way to play audio to both my HomePod and Symfonisk speakers using eARC, or is playing audio to both the stereo pair and HomePod only limited to AirPlay?  From what I understand, I can’t play audio from my TV to the Symfonisk speakers without another speaker. I believe I read that I can play audio from my TV to the Symfonisk speakers with a Roam using Bluetooth. Would that be the only way to get the Symfonisk speakers to work with the TV outside of a sound bar? (A sound bar would make my life much easier, but I don’t have the space for it.)

How many speakers does the average Sonos user have? Are most people just buying one unit and using it for everything in their apartment and maybe getting a Roam for on-the-go experiences? Do most people buy a stereo pair or surround sound set-up and then keep growing their ecosystem? Right now, I own one Sonos unit and would love to eventually get a sound bar and enhance my home theater with a surround system. 

I’ve really liked the size and sound of the Roam, but there’s been a few problems with the battery. The first is that the Roam keeps turning itself on, even while sleeping or turned off - but this is being addressed in another thread. The second issue is that even while plugged in (not Q pad, but USB), the Roam battery drains while in use. I’ve a Move that doesn’t do this. The Roam *does* charge while not in use while plugged in (unless it wakes up from Off, then it drains), so there’s not a connection problem. At the very least, it should continue to charge AND be able to play music. I’m forced to use it plugged in while outside because it never has more than a 35% charge due to the draining issue while shut off.Please tell me there’s a software/firmware update in the works to fix this. It’s pretty frustrating to have bought an expensive device and not be able to use it as advertised.

Hi there, I have a Sonos Beam connected to my TV and a Move. When streaming music via the sonos app or via Spotify, all works fine. I can pair the two speakers and play music with great quality. However I have an issue when the Beam streams audio from the TV input (HDMI) to the Move. So if I am playing music on my TV (i.e. YouTube), and then group the Move and Beam together, the audio is perfect on the Beam, but it breaks up regularly (every 2-3 seconds) on the Move. I have tried resetting both but still get the issue. And it happens across the various sources on the TV. Any ideas? Thanks for your help. 

Roam needs a software option to NOT turn on automatically when it senses a SONOS system. If unplugged and being used within the home, it is constantly draining the devices battery which negates the entire purpose (and name) of this “mobile” speaker. Can anyone @ SONOS speak to software updates in the works that address this issue?

My home theatre room drops out intermittently (Playbar + Sub + 3s as surrounds), while playing music or radio, not while watching TV.  This has happened for the last couple of weeks. All other rooms are solid. This problem started after replacing to a new Sony TV, which is also at the same time has we got new neighbours in the house next to house. So not easy to figure out, I guess. I’ve unplugged speakers, changed WiFi channel and also the SonosNet channel, and the problem persist. Looking for other solutions. Diagnostic 124111491Thx

If I have 2 Play 5 speakers, how do I know which is left and which is right?

I’m planning on getting a pair of fives and pair them in horizontally (because that’s what works in my space).  My understanding is that they will both carry the left and right channel is this orientation. Is there a way to get them to be left and right discreet speakers while paired in horizontal orientation?
