Speakers

Hi all. Current set up = Beam,Sub and pair 1’s in living room.   I'm getting a Connect amp with a pair of passive outdoor speakers for alfresco area. Can I group the alfresco speakers to the living room, so I can listen to football when out there. I’m hoping I don’t have run cables from the amp to the tv.  Cheers

I am trying to use my sonos one and my sonos move with lg cinebeam projector..the sonos move works great but i cant get thesonos one to join.  Is there a way to make this work

When I open the app and start up music from my Itunes library, only a couple of my speakers kick in.  It takes a minute or two for all of them to kick in.  Is this a normal lag or can it be fixed?  Thanks 

Hello,is it possible/safe to use the Roam Charging Pad for other devices like an iPhone etc.?  Thanks in advance!

I think its time to sell my Sonos set up.I have 9 Play 1 and a boost. I’ve tried everything multiple times for so long now it’s driving me round the bend. Used to work ok with SkyQ router (14mb) when I disabled 2.4 and gave each speaker a static IP. Then it started playing up. Six months of that and I changed to BT Smart Hub 2 (150mb). Even worse even after router update. I have a small, new 3 bed detached. The router and boost are ceiling height  as central to the house as possible but Sonos still refuses to be stable, constantly losing a room or part of a stereo pair.There are just too many variables coming into play to make this system worth bothering with.

I really like that the Roam still shows up in the Sonos app when on Bluetooth, displaying battery level as well as providing access to EQ independent of the source music app/device. The poor "old" Move just shows up as "Offline". Does anyone know if this is a function of Bluetooth 5.0 or some other hardware related inclusion in the Roam, or is it possible that this functionality will eventually be implemented for the Move too with a software update? 

What is the best way to go about pushing Sonos or another 3rd party vendor to make a sleeve for the Roam. With no hooks or ability to to carry, it is far less convenient than other portable speakers like the UE Boom. Love the speaker but this is a crucial function for most ways that we use this type of a speaker. Thoughts?

Hi everybody, it’s safe to charge Sonos Roam with a USB-C charger (made for Raspberry) with these specs:5.1v 3.0A 15.3WI’m sure it will generically work but I mean if it could damage or make issues in the long-term use.

HelloAbout 6 Months ago I purchased 5 Sonos one speakers to put around the walls of a hair salon I recently opened.For the last 2 weeks songs keep going silent mid song, coming back to the song and constantly skipping tracks. I have looked at ways to fix it in these forums such as securing each speaker its own reserved IP address. Unplugging each one and plugging them back in. I have even reset every speaker and re set up the system. Nothing has worked.I have also contacted the wireless provider who have promised me we have secure fast broadband.I’m at my wits end. I feel the only real solve is to sell all the sonos speakers and set up a wired system. but I don’t want to do this. PLEASE HELP!

Yes it can, all Sonos speakers can be paired, the staff at Sonos are clueless contract paid idiots. You can pair any Sonos speaker in the app. Lots of misinformation online about it. I have $15k worth of Sonos speakers and they all pair.

I have a pair of Play:1 and Five with a turntable connected to Five's line-In. It plays perfectly on Five but when I group Five with one (or both) of Play:1 it continues playing only on Five although that mini-equaliser shows that it's playing everywhere. What's wrong? 

Odd issue occurring in the past couple of weeks or so. I play something on a speaker with my iPad, for example in my kitchen. Then want to continue listening in a different room, for example “bedroom” so select the new room and deselect “kitchen” and press done. Playing begins in the other room, but continues to play in the kitchen despite the fact that it is not now a selected room. Pressing stop in playback has no effect on the kitchen speaker neither does exiting the app altogether, playback just continues in my example, my kitchen. The only way I can stop it is to mute this speaker and continue playback in the bedroom. Unmute the kitchen speaker and it’s still playing there despite not being a selected speaker!I have only used the two rooms as examples of what happened this morning. Over the past couple of weeks it’s happening with other rooms as well.Anyone any advice as it’s really annoying?Thanks. 

I have 5 x Play 2 (Generation 1).The S1 now longer allows connection to my Synology NAS.What do I do with them? Or is there a way round the problem?

Do ROAM speakers have a tracking feature?  Mine was stolen off my golf cart while inside the clubhouse.  Surely if someone tries to activate it in their system, it should be known to SONOS based on the serial #?  Any ideas?  (Excuse typo in subject)

So I picked up a new Roam today and having a hard time understanding this whole Bluetooth/Wifi handoff procedure. Everything I’ve read is that if you’re listening to Roam on Wifi and then venture outside your Wifi reach then Roam will “seamlessly” and “without user interaction” switch over to Bluetooth. Ok, but what will it be playing? When I’m on wifi I’m streaming music through the Sonos S2 app. Once out of wifi the Sonos app loses connection and is no longer available as a streamer. I need to switch to another app such as Apple Music or Tidal.  Also, when I switched the Roam intentionally to Bluetooth and stream to it via Apple Music I can still group it with my Sonos wifi speakers (cool trick) but the swap feature doesn’t seem to work. That only seems to work if I’m playing wifi content. Similarly, if I’m Airplaying music to the Roam I am unable to use the Swap feature.  I’m very confused about what to expect from these features. If anyone can shed some light I’d really appreciate

I have a pair of roams that I use as a stereo pair. I also have a move. I was just thinking it could be pretty cool to as a high pass to the roams and a low pass to the move to be able to use these three as a 2.1 system. I get that the move isn’t a dedicated sub, and I get that it won’t go as low as a dedicated sub, but it’s got much better bass response than the roams and I imagine one could get much better response at higher volumes from this system than running all of them full freq. 

Please can someone help me 😔 Bought sonas move and paired it with my devise. Have taken out to my garden, bluetooth is on but cannot get it to play?? Please can someone advise Many thanks in advance to anyone wjo takes the time.

I have a sub, arc, and two one sl's.When im playing music or watching a movie with 5.1.2 its immersive.How do i get any use out of the one sl's for content that doesnt come in 5.1.2 sound?Is there a setting to make it all just mirror what is coming out the arc?

I recently picked up a Connect(gen1) with the hope of playing my turntable through my Sonos speakers (play1's) and my audio amp. So the TT goes into phono preamp into the connect and out to the amp. Playing the TT via the Connect into the amp, no problem. Playing the TT through the Connect to the play1's no problem. However when I group the room with the connect to the room with the play1's the output to the amp drops to virtually zero while the play1's are fine. Have fiddled with variable/fixed volume and the source level sensitivity to no dramatic effect.I am running S1with no issues. Although I am using Google mesh through out the house I have set up the Sonos gear to be on it’s own mesh. Love to hear some thoughts, Cheer, David

I have a move & a roam - can I pair these 2 while running in bluetooth mode?

Why is there only a passive solution (Sonance) or moveable speaker with a charger that isn’t rated for outdoor (Move/Roam)?  Is it technically not possible to have an outdoor version of a One or Five without an amp?

I’m so disappointed with my sonos roam battery life, I returned it today. I got about 2 hours playback before it died. Even on standby it drained 25% in about 12 hours.  I’ve been waiting for ages to expand my sonos system with an outdoor capable speaker and thought this was the answer. I loved everything else about it, but it didn’t even last for one evening. Someone please let me know if this ever gets fixed, and I’ll consider re-purchasing.

I have a large living room with 2 chimney breasts. I want to mount 2 Sonos Ones.Should I put them on the chimney breasts (above TV and above radiator) or in the alcoves at the far ends? 

Hi all, Sorry if already asked and answered but I haven’t seen any clear statement about this.(do not hesitate to send a link else).  Is that possible to use the Sonos Roam in hands free mode for phone calls, or even better, for visioconf with PC / Mac ? ThanksBen 

My situation: I have a small home office where I spend 8-10 hours a day and, about two years ago, I purchased a Sonos One to best enjoy my favorite music, podcasts and also use it as general-purpose speaker (for YouTube videos, etc). Please note I don't do any "technical" audio or media work.What's wrong: The main reason why I bought a Sonos One was AirPlay 2 compatibility, which would allow me to use the Sonos speaker as a remote speaker for my MacBook over wired Ethernet (1Gbps). Wrong: AirPlay 2 works as long as you have something playing without interruption. As soon as you pause your music or any other kind of media, resuming after a few minutes just gets you a very long, or possibly infinite, silence. All I've gotten from Sonos support on this is "Apple's fault". After two years no software update on either side has improved this. Not even they very touted "Sonos S2". Even when it works, sync and delay issues abound. At some point I decided to just assume this speaker is only g
