Speakers

I am running IOS12.x and the latest Sonos controller update. I have 2 Pairs of Play:1 paired in seperate rooms as a group and one pair in a third room with a sub. AirPlay doesn't see any of it. From what I am reading, I would need ALL these in a single group (except the Sub) to get Airplay to see any of them, or perhaps break them up into single units, losing the L R stereo sound. Is this correct?

just bought a couple of sonos play 5s and one of them started emitting a burned electrical smell."I cant find any answers in here, other Than contact customer service. What is the issue? The one that smells is more than 3 years old, so its not because its new it smells/stinks

Hey folks ... on my back deck I have a pair of Klipsch 650 outdoor speakers connected to Amp inside. I really want a sub outside so I grabbed one of my Sonos Subs and damn it sounds good .. but I need an enclosure for it to keep sunlight and rain away. Any ideas?

Hi, my yamaha speakers are connected to a chromecast audio dongle to cast music across the room. I would like to play the music simultaneously on my sonos beam. I have tried to set up a group speakers in google home but cant include sonos speakers into it, same within sonos app (chromecast speakers not available). Has anyone tried this before? Is it possible to do this setup? Thx

After getting this all working, later it develops severe problems. For example the Sonos starts to crash the access point. My setup when it was working: Main House Router: Linksys EA6500 v1 (la Dettached Shop Metal Building: Outside Shop Wireless Bridge: TP-Link CPE510 V2 in bridge mode (this connects to the router in the house wirelessly and brings an Ethernet connection inside the shop to the LAN ports of the Shop Access Point; Inside Shop Wireless Access Point: Linksys E4200 Because the shop is a metal building, we need the outdoor wireless bridge to bring the network into the shop. The router in the shop is in access point mode. It isn't doing any routing. No firewall... Nothing but providing an access point for the shop devices (mostly Sonos, one Amazon Echo, and my phones or laptop.). All devices in the shop get an IP on the same network as the devices in the house. A Play:1 is wired to the LAN ports of the shop access point. A Play:1 is on the other side of the shop wi

Immediately after purchase, my Beam and play one surround speakers worked fine. At some point the play one surround speakers were disconnected from the room. Now I cannot get them to reconnect and surround speakers.

I currently have Sono's Play One (1 Gen) will it be compatible with the newer models even if it has no voice commend

Firstly, love the Sonos system I have. So much I have purchased a system for a mate for his wedding present. Anyway,so I finally bit the bullet and purchased the Sonos SUB. While it is a great product, it is way overpowered for an apartment, so much I'm waiting for the neighbors to complain even at 1/3 power. Can I suggest to the Sonos team to create a "Mini SUB" for those that don't want to spend the big bikkies and don't need oodles of power, but still want a reasonable sized, power and priced SUB. Personally, I think the sales would massive, and wouldn't overly hurt sales of the current SUB. Also it would make adding a sub to other rooms more cost affective (I can't see the average household buying more than one full sized SUB at the moment. Just a thought!

I had two Play1 as stereo in my living room. Now I have plugged one of them out and moved to the kitchen. I would now like to create a new room “Kitchen” for this speaker and add that speaker, thus removing it from the living room. Could somebody tell me which settings to use in the Sonos application?

I just bought a Beam and a Sonos 1 (Gen 2). Initially I set them up in separate rooms. I have moved the Play 1 to the same room as the Beam as the Left back speaker. I changed the name of it and added it to the group, but it isn't responding to volume controls. How do I make the Sonos 1 (Gen 2) work as a part of a surround sound system? I just ordered another Sonos 1 (Gen 2) to add as the Right back of the same room. I may need setup assistance with that as well. Does anyone have any specific instructions on how to achieve this?

I have 3 sonos speakers that are connected by wifi to my home network. They have always been hidden as available networks but now has started appearing and it’s an unsecured network. Anyone in close proximity to the house can connect to it. Does anyone know how to hide the network so my neighbours can’t connect to it? thanks

I've seen alot of people asking for the measurements of the new SYMFONISK products. Here are what I think will be pretty close to the size... SYMFONISK Bookshelf: (W)36cm x (H)12cm SYMFONISK Lamp: (W)21cm x (H)38cm Resources used: Img1: Bookshelf Img2: Lamp EU socket size: Buster+Punch (.pdf)

I've got a greenhouse where I can relax in the evening. No power is avaiable. I want sonos 1 battery run but for some strange reason it's not developed yet. A compromise could be playing Sonos on my phone (network works fine) - but though I can play the songs from my cell on Sonos it seems like I can't find out how to make it work "the other way around" Can anyone tell me how to play sonos over my phone ?

Hi guys, Can you help me out on this. Recently purchased a my Sonos Beam. Interestingly, at the bottom of it there is a sticker saying "El Rey" as a model, rather than Beam. I read about "El Rey" being the internal Sonos name of the product, but haven't found any other info on that. Does this mean that it is an earlier produced unit ? Are there any differences ? The sonos app recognises it as Beam though... Cheers and thanks for your thoughts on this.

I had a massive amount of trouble reconnecting a connect:amp and playbar recently. We were running our system with a play 1 wired to our ASUS router. After numerous emails and calls to the customer support line, it was suggested that in the ASUS router control panel: Wireless - Professional tab - the airframe fairness option should be disabled. After doing this I was able to connect my speakers easily.

Can the gen 2 sonos one be paired with a gen 1 sonos one?

Hi, My Play 3 died the other day and I am just outside my warrenty period 😞 I contacted sonos customer services who did not help me in the slightest. I have now looked at the power supply board and seen that the board around one of the input capacitor has burnt out and or the cap itself. As customer services won't even sell me a new power board, does anyone have a circuit diagram for this board so i can attempt to repair it myself. ( I am competent with electronics). P/N: RN-002657 (board number) Date: 08-04-11 Also has anyone else experienced this fault. I am assuming a power surge has done this. Many thanks Jamietaylor13

I thought I would like to share my thoughts on why I would never recommend Sonos to my friends. After having given it some thought, in my opinion, the whole concept behind Sonos is basically flawed. First off, a little about my current Sonos situation. Today I have, and enjoy, a fully working Sonos system with multiple devices spread across several rooms. The system is stable, because at some point I decided to cable everything. The majority of my past Sonos problems could all be related to wireless instability. Here is why the concept behind Sonos, in my opinion, is basically flawed. Sonos is sold as a speaker system with flexibility and ease of use as part of its core values. The idea is simple. The speakers look good, and can easily be moved around your home in various wireless configurations. I dont doubt that for many users, this is in fact reality (eventhough the speakers are probably rarely moved around). However, if you inspect the troubleshooting section o

We've had two clients report over this weekend that their Sonos systems are playing back a strange tone/noise randomly? Anyone else out there hearing this strange noise? The date of the occurrence was on Sat./Sun. May 12th-13th - 2018.

I got a new router and I cannot get the Sonos App to recognize the existing Sonos system I have. I do have sound for my home theatre but when I follow the instructions from Sonos I lose the sound and the app still does not work. I tried setting up as a new system but had the same issue. Any thoughts?

Hi I have added recently Sonos One ( gen 2) I was automatically assigned for bathroom I have previous Sonos Play 1 in the bedroom So originally I want to assign Sonos One to the same bedroom and to create a stereo pair For some reason and cannot move speaker as expained in the forum , as this option just doesn't appear neither on my mobile app( ios) not desktop one ( Windows 10) So how do I exactly move newer Sonos One to the Bedroom with exisitng Sonos Play 1 speaker? Thanks in advance ( attaching the screenshots of the room settings in the mobile app controller)

Does anyone know how many Watts rms sonos speakers have?

I have a play 5 and lately i have the feeling that the sound is sometimes bad. can it be that we blew the speaker out?

First, let me preface by saying, I'm a huge fan of Sonos and Sonance products and have accumulated more of these speakers than I'm willing to admit. I was really excited to hear that Sonos partnered with Sonance to design an outdoor speaker but I'm a bit confused. My intention is not to come off confrontational when I ask this but what's the difference between the new Sonos/Sonance Outdoor Speaker and the original Sonance Mariner 64? They appear to be the exact same speaker with the exact same specs. Is there added hardware which makes it a more Sonos centric product? My understanding is the new Amp identifies these speakers by sending a sine wave to read impedance values at different frequencies so that indicates to me there might not be anything unique about the new Outdoor speaker besides marketing and branding. How does the Amp differentiate between the new Sonos/Sonance Outdoor speaker and an original Sonance Mariner 64? As a loyal customer I need to understand what the advantage

Currently connecting my play 5 to my TV via Line-in cable to audio out. The sound is good, but feels a little flat (less bass, lower volume) than when I play through spotify with WiFi. Is there a better way to connect to the TV? I've got the sonos App turned up to 10 on the line-in options.
