Sonos iOS app groups

Hi,Today I have added an Sonos Era 100 to my setup at home, I already had a Sonos One.Now I’ve read and googled until I was crossed eyed but for the love of my I just don’t seem te be able to play everywhere.I’ve found a manual stating I should go to the System and Then the box on the right where i can select “everywhere” or create a new group but I just don’t get that menu option.Anyone experienced that before? Screenshot below :-) p.s. I just got the message there’s a new update coming may 7th, should I just wait that one out? Thanks everyone!Cheers!Sonny

How do I Switch between Sonos Systems in my House?

I have two Sonos systems in my house, both on the same network. One is called Kitchen and the other is called Dining Room, I can switch between them using the Spotify app but I don't know how to switch between them in the Sonos app. How do I do that?

speaker layout for this room?

Looking to put ceiling speakers in our kitchen remodel. space is roughly 27’ long by 15’ wide. Can I get away with just two speakers in this room? I was thinking one on the right side in between the island and cabinets, with a second speaker closer to the dining table. Would this be sufficient or do I really need 4 in this space? I do not need sound over the stair area on far left. The kitchen is an open concept and leads into a living room with a vsaulted ceiling. There is a sonos soundbar in that room and I have no plans to add additional speakers in there. I appreciate any input!!

Lets talk about how GOOD the Sonos App is?

I had one Era300 speakers for past 6 months. Never used the Sonos App. Worked great. Decided to enhance the sound experience and bought another one last week. To pair the speakers had to use the Sonos App, it all seemed to work perfectly BUT since then it's been nothing but an annoyance! Sound switches from left to right, sometimes doesn't play any sound at all, sometimes can't even connect. Both speakers are great when on the rare occassion it works properly 2-3 minutes then switches from speaker to speaker again.I've been reading about complications with people trying to connect to other devices and wifi. Read about factory reset and all the info when it helps and when it doesn't. My golly so many issues and complications, what happened to plug in and play?I just want two speakers that work consistently but these Sonos App seems to be having handshaking problems between wifi, speakers and the Sonos App itself. A shame the Sonos App complications makes a great product into an intense

Sonos Sub Gen3 Router incompatibility

After a long day of trying to figure out why my Sonos Sub Gen3 was not connecting to my system, I eventually got on the phone with Sonos and they informed me my (very expensive) sub is not compatible with my SAX router from spectrum. So if youre like me and you are having issues connecting your sub to your system, check your router model and if you see SAX on it, they dont like each other. But Sonos is gracious enough to process a return for me so thats fine. But I am trying one more thing before I return it and I will update this thread if it does indeed work. They said the workaround is to connect it wired but unfortunately, where the sub is and where my router lives is just too far to connect that way. So I am ordering a wifi extender with an ethernet port built in. I will see if the one I get does help. It should be here in 2 days. If it doesnt work, Ill return both of them. Either way Ill let you guys know if this was a good workaround and what model ext i ordered.

will new turntable & Era 100 play in sync with Sonos One

Hello I have 2 Sonos ones & 1 Sonos SL. I want to get a turntable with phono preamp built in and a Sonos Era 100 to play it out of. Will the turntable play out of all my existing Sonos one/SL once it’s connected to the Era? And play records throughout the house. Or just through the Era and nothing else? Thanks very much Joe

Sonos Era

We have a pair of sonos speakers in the lounge paired in stereo, One & One SL, voice controlled by an Amazon Echo Dot, did try with the built in mic on the Sonos One but it didnt work that well, works great with the Echo Dot. I have just looked at buying another pair the same to use in another room and was dissapointed to see Sonos no longer sell them, i have looked everywere for some but just cant fine any for sale. There are a lot on Ebay but i am reluctant to buy from Ebay, past issues with purchases. The Era seems my only option, they are a bit pricey though, can they be paired in stereo, i see they have a in line connection, could i connect a compact disc player to them and play music in Stereo, i have a LOT of cds and being able to play them again on a decent speaker would be a bonus. i keep looking on Sonos Refurbished just in case they put any One’s or SL’s for sale. Any help or advise appreciated

Which is more robust Sonosnet Vs. WiFi for Sonos 1.

The subject line says it all. I have been using Sonos 1 and SonosNet because my CR-200 is a heck of lot more convenient than messing with my cell phone every time I need to interact with Sonos. The problem now is that SonosNet has become more problematic with multiple dropouts. I was about an hour on the phone with tech support (thank you, Sonos) but to no avail. Rather than continue to troubleshoot this (and I’m sure there is ultimately a solution since it used to work flawlessly), I’ rather switch to WiFi if it’s more robust. Thoughts?

Sonos outdoor speaker sound

I have two outdoor Sonos speakers. If I place one on the backyard deck and one on the front porch, roughly 50ft away from each other, will the sound be good in both speakers? Or will the bass come from one and the treble from the other? Thanks

Connecting my speakers

Lately I have had a very hard time connecting all of my speakers to my Sonos. I have 5 speakers in my workout room and every time I workout at least a couple of them will not connect and I have to go through the steps of unplugging the Wi-Fi router and then waiting for it o connect again and even that doesn't connect all of them. I used them for 3-years without ever having an issue and then it started and I don’t knw why I am having so much trouble connecting. Please Help :-(

Does anyone have much experience using 300s as a stereo pair? I was thinking of using them with a Sub for music. Reviews I've seen range from excellent to poor imaging and a "sonic mess" for stereo. I guess that's because the drivers point in all directions. Other reviews love them. I wanted to hear from someone other than a youtube reviewer. My room is maybe 16 ft square and is on the padded side for a living space.

Just a general question without all the specifics. Which has better sound overall for streaming music Beam 2 or Move 2? I have the 2 Eras and Move 2 already and just added a Beam 2 but like the Move sound and versatility better. Anyone using 2 Move 2s in one room?

sonos ray and homekit

Sonos Ray appears in Control Centre AirPlay list but NOT in HomeKit app. Tried adding using ‘other’ options and though a Speaker icon appears - assume it IS the Ray - message indicating HomeKit cannot connect, ensure iPad is on network?

permanently grouping sonos 1 and era 300

Hi. I have just purchased an era 300 to add to an existing Sonos 1 in our lounge. How can I get these so that they are permanently grouped and always come on in sync, either on the alarm or when I ask Alexa. It worked fine when I had two Sonos 1s paired but recognise I can’t do a stereo pair with the different products but i do still want to group them so they play together.

Individual unit migration to sonos2

Is it possible to migrate compatible Sonos units one by one from Sonos 1 to Sonos 2 systems? Most of the incompatible units I have are in hard to reach places and so would be much easier if could keave the Sonos 1 system as is and gradually move the compatible units one by one to new Sonos 2 system (which I have in one room). Thanks for any suggestions.

Move pair PT II. Any way to identify Left and Right??

There is a locked thread with an unacceptable answer (put a sticker :D)I simply searched “surround test” from Youtube and played “5.1 Dolby Surround Test”.The lady kindly announces “This is the right/left surround channel” from the specific speaker, and it was easy to switch the places (which were of course wrong way around after moving the house)…Same applies for stereo pairs, equivalent stereo tests exist. Or then just use balance as somebody indicated in the “sticker thread”…
