When will we be able to make phone calls with sonos one in Australia?

Can I pair the new Sonos One SL with Sonos Five Gen 2 ?

Hi all. Very interested in the move but I use BT whole home WiFi mesh system (3 disks) and I had issues in the past with sonos so I bought a bridge connected to my router and things have been fine since. If I leave my system as is and add a move (which doesn't work with sonos net) will things work ok?

I'm seriously considering the Sonos Move. I will mostly move it around indoors using only WiFi. I already have some stationary Sonos speakers (Play:1) around the house. What will happen if I bring the Move in to a room with another Sonos speaker (assuming both speakers are playing the same song)? Will Automatic Trueplay adjust the sound output from the Move to give a good overall listening experience in that room (including the output from the other Sonos speaker)?

Hi guys I currently have a dedicated SONOS bridge plugged into my router in order to utilise SONOSNET rather than my own Wi-Fi. In the same room i also have a Play:5 but it is not within reach of the router for me to run an Ethernet cable. It would be handy to get rid of the bridge if possible (less boxes, power sockets used etc). I already have a couple of Devolo Ethernet 500Mbps powerlines and could use these in order to connect the Play:5 into the router as use this as the bridge for SONOSNET. Does anybody have any issues using powerlines with SONOS kit? I have seen a thread where SONOS don't recommend it. I appreciate that i could just drop all the speakers on my Wi-Fi but i have found SONOSNET to be very reliable and would rather maintain this setup if possible. If the powerlines are not recommended or cause issues then i can maintain the existing bridge but just wondered. I may just try it anyway and see if i have any issues but wanted some opinions or experience first. Thank

How do I use the system away from my hom wifi..can I use this like a bluetooth speaker, and how?

Hello - I have a turntable/Connect set-up that cuts in and out (diagnostic: 1649217591). I realize this question has been asked before, I am wondering if there is a way to alleviate the issue without having to compress the sound. Cheers,

Can this be done? Will it sound the same in stereo? I don’t need two microphoned speakers surely.

With the forthcoming deletion of the ability to play music on Sonos directly from iPhones/Pads, Airplay 2 is widely being seen as a solution. Before investing to bring in that ability via new Sonos hardware as opposed to the more straightforward route of adding a NAS, some questions perhaps need to be answered; questions that arise from not so good experiences with Airplay as it existed before Airplay 2 was released. Is music play via Airplay 2 to a target Sonos speaker as stable as it is via the "On this Phone" route it is seen to replace ? Is such music play to a group of speakers also just as stable? Is music play in both modes above as stable as it is via Sonos net? Can two phones on the same WiFi network simultaneously stream music each contains via Airplay 2 to unique Sonos speakers in two different rooms? Can the phones be used as such when music is being streamed from them? Either via the existing feature or via Airplay 2? These are questions that come to my mind, perha

Bluetooth is ok-ish, but the real question - is it going to stream from all my accounts if I take it somewhere and connect to hotspot or non-home WiFi?

Hello, Do you guys provide a solution for a portable speaker (charging and then use it anywere wirelessly via wifi)? Thanks, Jordi

Others have asked how to turn off a SONOS speaker (I have 5 Play1 + a connect). The responses were all assuming the REASON to want to turn off the speakers was power use. There are other reasons to want to do so. This morning, SONOS just would not cooperate / connect to anything. Rebooting the WIFI router (SONOS pop-up suggesting the fix) is a heavy handed approach effecting everything in the house. At one point I had music playing and unresponsive SONOS controller on both desktop and Android. The fix was to shut all the speakers off and let them reconnect. My approach has been to use a power strip for combos of speakers .. but I have one speaker in my office that is plugged in behind a big desk. Would be great to have a POWER SWITCH! Reboots do wonders to fix many problems.

Ya know how we have the option for full stereo or ambient when listening to music in a full 5.1 sonos stet-up?  Can we get that with TV output as well, please?  There is still plenty of content that is stereo output on many internet streams and traditional media.  Having full stereo helps create an enveloping sound field when outputted via the playbar and the surrounds.

If I'd bought a 4 wheel drive car but years later was told that it was only going to be 2 wheel drive after a software upgrade, I would be pretty p'd off by that and would expect some compensation having been mis-sold a product. However I'm now seeing nagging pop-ups on my Sonos App telling me I will no longer be able to play content from my iPhone after a forthcoming upgrade? 1) In my view that is not an upgrade, 2) It is removing one of the fundamental reasons I invested in Sonos products and 3) I feel I'm going to lose faith in the system if it's a pain to recover from a feature I've had since day 1 ownership. Is this due to pressure from Apple or other manufacturer, have Sonos been providing this feature illegally? Are Airplay 2 compatible Sonos speakers the only solution or should I just not upgrade to the latest Sonos App?

I recently moved into a house with an 11 room Sonos set up. The old owners left all the equipment except for 1 room, the living room, which would be the 12th room in the set up. In that room, there are two Connect:Amps. One is for the speakers outside by the pool, the other is for that living room. However, there are no more Sonos speakers in that room. So my question is, could I set up an older Pioneer system to that Connect:Amp without having to spend upwards of 1,000 bucks to properly outfit the room?

I bought a new SONOS Play 1 Gen 2 and 2 Ikea Symfonisk Table Lamps. I thought that if I kept them in the same room they could connect. However, even though they are both in the same physical room, SONOS has put the lamps into another room through the App. Can they not integrate to form a larger system, if not why not? Amy help would be appreciated.

I’d already set my Sonos One up on my home WiFi, no problems. My son’s party was to be in a large hall so I thought great, I’ll take my speaker, connect to the WiFi and have his music playing. iPhone connected to WiFi with no issues, but could not then get the speaker to connect... went through the set up process and the app said the speaker had set up a temporary SONOS WiFi and that I should connect to that... but it did not appear as an option... any ideas what’s wrong? Why couldn’t I see a SONOS network? Why could the speaker not connect to my phone?

Very dissapointed that my new Sonos One won’t stereo pair with my play 1 - why would I buy 2 Alexa enabled speakers? It’s just software update then - I now have speakers that are not stereo paired and yes it makes a difference. Anything to work around or update planned?

I've just bought an IKEA Symfonisk speaker, set up was easy and sounds good. I use iTunes to organise my music and, as the Symfonisk has Airplay 2, I can now play the music from iTunes on my PC to the Symfonisk speaker, and with that speaker in a group, to the whole house! Well in theory, yes. ITunes sees the speaker, I can play through it, and sounds comes out all over the house. But it's very distorted, intermittent. I've always struggled to maintain a good connection with Sonos speakers in the place. My Connect is wored to the router, so SonosNet works. Sonos is on wify channel 6, the router is on 11. Any thing I can do to improve performance?

My sound levels are all over the place requiring adjustments all thru the day as the systems plays in my waiting room. Songs are from itunes (which I have sound leveling on) and spotify. Any ideas to keep the sound levels consistent ...or even close

I have multiple rooms with SONOS. When I open the app to choice music there is a 50/50 chance it will be set to the right speaker. I understand the new SONOS speakers have BLE. Currently only used for easy set up? BLE could be used by the app to identify which speaker you are closest to, and pre-select that as the speaker to interactive with. For speaker without BLE SONOS could sell little £5 BLE beacons to mount on the speakers to enable the same functionality.

Should be very popular. https://zatznotfunny.com/2019-08/sonos-bluetooth/

For those with lots of patience. USB-C can supply a good bit more power than the older standards. https://medium.com/@wr/powering-a-sonos-play-1-with-a-usb-c-battery-pack-instructions-photos-de784fed2f38

The Sonos Play 5 Gen 2 has been around since 2015. Does Sonos plan to release a version with built-in Alexa just like the Sonos One? It would be the perfect speaker if has smart speaker capabilities.
