Hi, using iPad and iPhone. Is it possible to run Sonos Move via airplay on Sonos Port own wifi? Sonos Port is connected to a router with wifi with ethernet cable and sonos move is using the routers wifi not Sonos wifi. Having trouble with neighbours having fun with the balance and pause buttons. Very anoying.    i am looking for a way to use Sonos Move only on or in the sonos net 2.0 network? Is it possible?    It may also be that my iPad OS and IOS is hacked,. They paused my Sonos Port yesterday while only using Sonos port. Coaxial out to an amplifier. I have named my two Sonos Move speakers Dining Room IN Norwegian. There is a kitchen room in my airplay devices at the at the shut down screen with time and date and log in screen. Choose output device option after song title. Ios ipad os log in screen.That is not one of my rooms (kitchen). They may have a duplicate of my Sonos system. 

Hi, My Move is scheduled for delivery today, can't wait! I will be putting it in my home office when not in use, and it will only be used several times a month. (We have other Sonos speakers throughout the house that we use daily). When not in use, while on the base, is it better to leave the Move powered ON in standby mode? Or should I power it OFF when not in use? It will be on the charging base when not in use. My concern is will leaving it in standby mode for days on end (while on the charger) deplete the battery quicker? Any advice, guidance? thanks

My Move is destined to be used on my Deck (weather permitting), but it’s “home” location (for storage and charging), is in the nearest room- the kitchen. Where there is already an ECHO there.  I don’t want both devices to answer… I am not seeing any way to mute the MOVE’s microphone.   The ECHO needs to stay where it is cause the MOVE will not be there all the time and the ECHO is the most utilized Alexa device… Is the only option to disable MOVE voice control in the SONOS APP?  That really means I need to have my APP with me when I take the MOVE… and then - why do I need Alexa at all?  

Hey There! I am wondering about the best solution to provide good quality music at the location where i will marry. I own a Sonos System, so there is of course the thought of using some of those Speakers, as i am very content with it’s quality. Here are my Speakers: Playbar, 2 Sonos one in Stereo, Sonos Sub (Living Room TV-Setup) Sonos One (Bathroom) Play 5 (Bedroom) Play 5, Sonos One (Office) I was thinking about buying 2-3 Sonos Move, but after some research i am pretty sure you can’t use them together over bluetooth(?). I am pretty sure, that one Move won’t be enough for the location, so i thought about setting up a WiFi, to use my already existing Play 5 and some Ones. Would it be possible to set them up at a different location using a phone hotspot and then controlling them with another phone which is also connected to the phone hotspot? Did i miss something and there would be a solution which is a lot more practical for such a one time event? i am really open for new suggestions,

Will it be possible to pair a ‘One’ with a Play:1 to create a stereo pair?

Hi Sonos,   This is my call for you guys to come to your senses.   I’ve got a play:1 and a Sonos one … Guess what my gripe is!?   All I want to do is use your brilliant speakers in the way they were meant to be used, I have both of these speakers in the kitchen (Its not that big) and i want to stereo pair them, thats all !   I want to use the new features of the Sonos one and not have my Sonos play be an utter waist of money and time.   Your ecosystem should be backward compatible otherwise you are cheating people out of money, and more importantly loyalty, so please, please come to your senses and release a patch that makes this Utopian dream a reality, make it so that people who have invested in your tech and vision don’t feel cheated like a cheap floozy into investing in your products to be left in the cold when you release new things.   Thanks   D.

I just recently got the Sonos Move and was wondering if it was safe to play music from the move while it sat on the dock? Or is it better to just put it back on the dock when on standby and not in use? Thank you.

I have sold my Sonos system. Not because I do not love it; but because I do. But where I moved to I have no land lines for internet. Is there anything I need to do with my account. Since my devices are registered on that account, I am worried the new owner will have issues setting up the system.

Hi,  I have a Sonos One gen 1 right now.  If I like to get another Sonos 1 for form a stereo pair, can i get one as gen 2?  And which one should be the master?  TIA

Since going public Sonos is a scam. No phone support and full of bugs. Obviously cutting costs to appease Wall Street. Stay away from their products. Full of bugs now and no support! 

Hello I bought two sonos one SL speakers and wanted to connect them to my tv. But I can’t work out how to Bluetooth them to my TV

Anyone know or try using a Sonos Move in a Steam Room/Shower.  I see no problem (with the IP56 rating) of it being in the shower but wonder if it would be OK in a steam shower where I feel like the water/steam could penetrate into the speaker a little easier (plus it gets to about 110deg). Thanks.

I recently got a Sonos move and when I try to connect it I press the sync button it does not make a chime I use the alternative option it says a error has occurred please help me fix this

I am curious to know what bluetooth audio codecs the Move supports. Particularly if it supports Aptx HD or one of the other higher resolution codecs like LDAC. Thanks!

Today I noticed that one of our Sonos Ones' bass response has changed. It distorts and pops, and when that happens, it seems to back off the bass for a second or two. I did a quick search and see that this isn't a new issue for the One and Play:1. It appears to be the speaker's built-in protection kicking in during certain bass tones. This actually makes some sense. However, I've had this particular One for over a year, maybe close to two years, and just noticed this happening for the first time today. It's very noticeable so if it was happening before, I'm sure I would have heard it. I would have checked my other Ones, but I had to put my kids to bed and didn't want to crank those speakers up to 40-50% volume to see what happens. Was there something in the last update that would have changed the protection level or the frequency response of the speaker? Has anyone else had this issue appear recently?

I have spent about $1000.00 on 3 different Sonos speakers.  The idea was to be able to move throughout the living area of our home and be able to enjoy music.  Wonderful.  Sound quality was very good.  Then suddenly I can no longer link my iTunes playlist to these speakers.  I’ve read several threads saying this is unavoidable.  Makes ABSOLUTELY no sense.  Any wireless speaker I own, from the one that came with my Dewalt tool kit, to the JBL on our boat, to the old beater that plays in my side by side UTV all access my iTunes playlist perfectly.  My iTunes syncs perfectly with my Ford pick up and seamlessly with my wifes Toyota 4 Runner.  Can it really be true that with all this compatibility, on Sonos can’t read my iTunes playlist unless I join some pay to play service.  Everyone I know uses their iTunes playlist for enjoying music compiled over the last decade.  Can it really be true that Sonos is useless to them all?!?!?

Hi Sonos, I just wanted to voice my disappointment at the discontinuation of the Play 3. I experimented with a couple play 1's and loved the sound and system so I decided I would to go with sonos when the time was right. I was building a house. Just finished about a year ago. Spent all my money. It's taken me a while to save up for the luxury items like speakers. I finally saved up some dosh to buy the playbar and 4 - 6 of the play 3 speakers to go around my house only I've discovered that the play 3 is extinct and I can't find anywhere in my country that still has them. Here's some feedback for the Product Managers. Sonos play 1 is too small for my loungeroom and dining room and play 5 is too big and expensive Sonos play 3 is the perfect size and price for me. Why not have a cheaper version of play 5 that doesn't include all the bloated voice activation tech? I already have voice activated phone and tv - why do I need voice activated speakers? To be honest, the less devices I

Moderator note:  This article was updated in December 2024. This article discusses how to add your speakers to an existing system. If you are taking your speaker to another location that does not have an existing Sonos system in place, these instructions will not apply to you. In that case, you can simply set up a new Sonos system.How do we get your speakers added to another system? Say, at a friend or family member’s house.This is a fairly straightforward process and should not take too long. Sonos products can remember the credentials for up to 16 wireless networks. When you bring your device  home, it will automatically reconnect to your WiFi network. This is unless you Factory Reset your Sonos device, which we do not recommend. Things you will need before you get started:The WiFi password of this “new” network. The network needs to have an existing Sonos system set up already. You will need to have the owner of this system’s Sonos account information at hand.  The steps to take:Con

Apologies if this has been asked previoiusly - I did search but couldn’t find a thread. Is there any way to listen to a Sonos playlist on a pair of bluetooth headphones? I bought my son the pair of Bose QC35 wireless headphones for Christmas that’s he’s been begging for but I belated realise his playlists are all on the Sonos. We don’t have a Connect - but even if I did that would necessitate rigging it up to a PC and pairing the headphones with that. I was rather hoping I could stream the audio via his iPad but I believe that’s not possible. Is there a smart way to do this I’m missing? 

I have a sonos beam, two sonos 1’s and a subwoofer.  It is currently next to the tv on the floor which is laminated. what is the best place to put it or is next to the tv ok?

I am wondering if the ”One SL” model can be configured like this:   Can two of the One SL speakers in the same room be paired as stereo speakers, or do they have to be grouped as two mono speakers? If yes to question 1, would I be able to use AirPlay 2 to play my music, in stereo, to the SL pair? Is the SL speaker as beefy as the Play One with regard to CPU and memory? Do the SL speakers support SonosNet? Does the Sonos Bridge support the use of Airplay 2? Does the Sonos Boost support the use of Airplay 2? Thanks!    

Hi Support,This seems like a no brainer, but how about putting yor speaker system in smoke alarms that are wired into ceilings?It would be a great way of putting music in many rooms without taking up any additional space.  Talk about whole house audio…ThanksKnipfty

I have 5 Sonos players on my Virgin Media home network. Most of the time everything works well but occasionally I find one or more of the players have dropped out and disappeared from the Sonos apps.When I look at my router (Hub 2ac) device connection list it shows all the players but the ones that have dropped out are listed as connected by Ethernet whereas they are all actually on wi-fi.The correct MAC address and IP addresses are listed with the only clue to a problem being they are listed as Ethernet connected.Power down and up again on each player simply shifts them from Ethernet to wi-fi and then all is well again until the next time.I don’t think it has anything to do with IP lease time as that is set at one day but the problem might only occur every two to three weeks.Is it the hub? does anyone know?  

Sonos are no longer a young start up, that has not had time to think about repair. Sonos, like all electronic products, occasionally one goes wrong. Your products are expensive to buy, and you could set up a repair workshop and repair them (or even contract it out). I'm sure this could be a revenue centre not a cost centre. I am a long time user with a reasonable investment in Sonos (seven units) - or six working units and a faulty one! I used be proud of my Sonos system, and promote the Sonos products amongst my friends, but this looks like you don't care about your users. If users don't feel valued, they stop caring about the company. How many other users have faulty units at home?

After updating to 10.4 the sound quality got worse. The bass is really low, had to tweak the equaliser up all the way. Still, it sounds hollow and no real punch. Calibrated with trueplay, didn’t fix the problem. Anyone having the same problems? Sonos One and Sub.
