Pairing Beam with Move

Hi all, In our living room we have a Sonos Beam attached on the wall under the TV. Beam is used while watching TV but also when someone in the living room streams his Spotify to the Beam. This works like a charm but I'm not totally convinced with the sound, for me it's not full enough. We also have a Sonos Play:1 and that one travels between the bedrooms of our children. They both use it for listening music. They are happy with it. Yesterday I was watching a movie on the TV and decided to grab the Play:1 (sorry kids!) and take it downstairs. I paired it with the Beam and started watching Rogue One. For me the sound was way better compared to just the Beam. I understand that this isn't true stereo and neither is surround but the resulting sound was way more richer than ever before. Now I want to buy an additional speaker so the kids can have the Play:1 again. I'm thinking about buying the new Sonos Move. It could be used for watching Tv in the house but can also be taken outside while s

Sonos One Microphone Light

Hi, Does anyone know if you can turn the Sonos One microphone light off? I'd like to do this without disabling the microphone. I have this in the bedroom and would rather there wasn't a light showing when I'm trying to sleep. I know you can turn off the LED light in the settings but there doesn't seem to be an option for the microphone light. If I have to disable the microphone, I'll be doing this every night and then turning it back on in the morning. Thanks

Audio delay with Sonos One over AirPlay from laptop/desktop

I am experiencing an audio delay of 2-3 seconds when configuring 2 of my macOS systems to send audio to the Sonos One as a system audio output device over the AirPlay protocol. My iPhone is able to send audio to the Sonos One over what also appears to be the AirPlay protocol with no lag. Repro Steps on macOS (Catalina 10.15.4 and Mojave 10.14.6): Open System Preferences. Open Sound. Select the Output tab. Click the name of the Sonos One device (where device type says AirPlay). Do one of the following: Play a video in any browser, such as from YouTube. Play a video using VLC. Play a video using QuickTime Player. In all of the above playback scenarios, it takes 2-3 seconds for the Sonos One to start playing the audio associated with the video, and that audio it plays lags behind the video by a similar number of seconds. How can I eliminate the audio delay to the Sonos One when playing from a computer?

Sonos: unable to browse music with spotify

I am unable to browse music with spotify on my sonos.  Tried the usual reset actions: reset modem connection, reset bridge, remove and re-authorize spotify account. Nothing helps. In the past resetting would make a difference. Actually quite amazed how unstable the sonos / spotify integration is. Please how a look at my issue. Diagnostic support ticket: 3910512

Play 5 gen 2 as a stereo pair

Hi I purchased a play 5 as a present to myself over the Christmas which I'm loving. So much so I have it in my head to buy a second to set up a stereo pair. But I'm weary as the only place I can leave them is at a height over the presses in the kitchen. My existing one is in the same place but on the other side of the same wall (see pic) but in the horizontal position and I also have it tilted down. My main worry is that the natural position of the play 5 is pointing up when vertical as is the horizontal but I feel I won't get as much of a tilt out of them when they are in the vertical position i.e they will be still pointing up. Do I have to put them in the vertical position or can I leave them horizontal as a stereo pair? And if I do put them vertical do u think I'm wasting my money putting them in that position? I know the easy solution is to find somewhere lower but there really is no where else I can leave them. All advise appreciated

Beam vs Playbar/Playbase - My Opinion

Hello There are a lot of threads asking the question_”Beam vs Playbar/Playbase which should I get?” We all know that the Beam offers more features (i.e. HDMI_ARC, Alexa and AirPlay2). The biggy is sound; IMO primarily vocals/speech, as to how will it fairs in a room of X-Size. The obvious answer is given by Sonos: [img]0e73f2f3-31f8-4e8a-baad-75d063a4a550.png[/img] I’m going to offer my opinion and feel free to agree or disagree because as I said it’s my opinion. Having both a Playbar and Beam I’ll say this... [b]Playbar/Playbase[/b] Out of the Box they win hands down versus the Beam; as room size is a non-issue (to a point). More speakers (given Sonos engineers drive for perfection) equate to better music reproduction. Vocals and speech are handled well without augmentation. [b]The Beam[/b] Music wise it’s better than a Sonos One or Play 1 as stand-alone’s and I dare say the discontinued Play 3. I wonder if there's a replacement in the works for the Play 3. :? Usin

can the Roam play while it is connected for charging?

I envision leaving the Roam (or pair of Roams) normally connected to the charging cables and only running off batteries the odd time I want portability (taking them out on the deck when I BBQ or possibly into the bathroom when I shower).Can I play the speakers while they are connected for charging? Can I leave them turned on all the time so they can be part of my home network the same as my Sonos Ones and Play:1s?

Ability to Add Sonos Roam to Multiple Sonos WiFi Systems?

Is it possible to add a Sonos Roam to multiple Sonos WiFi systems?I recently purchased a Roam and took it with me on a road trip. My in-laws have a Sonos system and I wanted to add my Roam to their system so I could get all of the benefits of using Roam over WiFi instead of Bluetooth. However, the only way I could get the Roam to connect to their system was to reset it to factory and set up the Roam as a new speaker in their Sonos system. When I came home I had to repeat the process by resetting to factory and adding it back to my Sonos system.The feature I’d love to see is the ability to add a Roam to a second Sonos system over WiFi without having to remove it from an existing Sonos system. Ideally, after initial setup, the switch between Sonos systems would be done automatically based upon the connected WiFi network.

Two Sonos One + sub vs. Two Play:5 gen 2

Hi - I know this topic has been discussed before, but I can't seem to find any information specifically on the Gen 2 version of the Play 5, so I hope you guys can help me out. I'm considering for my living room either: 1) 2 x Sonos One + Sub 2) 2 x Sonos Play:5 gen 2 Option 1 would probably be better from an aesthetic point of view, though I do worry about sub placement (it won't be in between the two Ones). In your opinion, what is better in terms of sound quality?

Ghosty Hack

Please can someone help ! I've had my sonos system for 7 months and love it however a couple of nights ago the speaker in my hall started making really weird sounds, like a door opening, then half an hour later a baby started to cry from the speaker randomly for the rest of the evening. Last night I was going to bed then I heard my speaker in my bedroom produce a sound like a plate or glass breaking followed by the crying baby sound - it was really loud! It's starting to freak me out and I don't know how to stop it. It seems to only happen at night and is totally random ! None of my friends are doing this using my wifi by the way. I've read that www.fastcompany.com has managed to hack into the Sonos App which might explain what's happening however I'm not sure what I need to do to stop what's happening now. Can anyone help? Should I delete the App from my iPhone and reinstall ?

Sonos power consumption

Hi, i'm new to SONOS community and going to get my first Sonos Play:1 very soon as Christmas gift. I've a couple of questions about the product i was not able to found in the forum (sorry if i miss them in case already asked/answered) 1) i found that power consumption of Sonos Play:1 is 3.8W when in idle mode, no music playing (+0.3W if connected by ethernet). Is it possible to put the speker in sleep mode and wake it up by a WOL magic packet? 2) as i plan to not use the wifi, is it possible to disable the WIFi functionality of the speaker? Thanks Simone
