Speakers

Evening All, First of all please accept my apologies for asking a question that surely must have been asked before. I did search the forum but couldn’t find a clear answer to my specific problem. I already have a Playbase and also a Sub that (if I understand it correctly) is connected to the Playbase on a 5MHz network. Last week I took a risk on buying a Play:1 to use in another room. eBay, of course ? Good news: it is in beautiful condition and works perfectly over Ethernet. Bad news: for the life of me I cannot get it to work over WiFi. Worse, I have tried a factory reset, assuming that perhaps some of my difficulties might lie in the previous owners settings. But the speaker flashed amber/white for 20mins then started flashing red/off. After unplugging and replugging it’s now flashing white/off and won’t stop. I have only found one thread on here and that ended with the conclus

Ive just bought a beam and it’s great. But I’m surprised that it’s quite fiddly to enable “reduce loud sounds” or “speech enhancement”. From what I can see they stay enabled when selected, but that then means you have to remember to switch them off when not needed. I’d like these to work more like settings on a mobile phone - ie based on either time of day or with some sort of scheduling option like night modes in many iOS apps. Personally I’d have both options enabled from 7pm to 7am.

Have 2 Play 5's in my system and one is cutting Bass in/out intermittently. Turning up the volume seems to keep the bass on. This problem only started happening yesterday and the speaker is 9 months old

I have a record player plugged into a Play 5 which works fine. When I share the sound with my Beam it play well for a bit and then keeps on cutting out. It is just in the next room along. Does anyone have any suggestions? Diagnostic: 1247772422

This may sound like a bizarre requirement but I like to drift off to sleep at night with the music on very low. I find the Play:1 just a bit too loud on its lowest setting, even with the bass & treble dropped down and the loudness off. Is there any other possible way of making it any lower? Thanks

I mounted my Sonos Play 1 directly to my garage door opener. Why? Why not 🙂 The garage sounds great now! I used a #20 `1/4 inch machine screw and a couple of lock washers. Very easy to do.

Hi! My wife can’t play via Airplay 2 the Centr App (meditations sessions). It plays fine on Apple TV. Is there something, what we don't know, how to play it to Sonos One? When she choose the room (Bedroom), it's just a silence. I tried to help her, but I can't. No ideas, what we need to do. Please help with that. There's a ten - minute meditation of the night, which we would like to hear through Sonos One.

We currently have our speakers placed throughout our living room. I am considering purchasing speaker stands. Does the SONOS Community have a speaker stand they recommend for SONOS Play: 1? I want something that is stable and blends into our living room design.

I am so tired of stupid UNNECESSARY updates that BREAK fully functioning systems for NO REASON.

I'm using Deezer on Sonos app, and while playing always skips the songs and shows a messages that is connection lost. How can I fix this?

Can Sonos tell us if the Play:1 will continue to be sold alongside the Sonos One for the foreseeable future?

I have had my Sonos system installed for about one month. All working as expected and I am happily showing off my system to friends. Today for the first time, my internet security software (Bitdefender Internet Protection 2019) is reporting that an Exploit attempt was blocked March 21 at 2:05 PM. Feature: Online Threat Prevention. "An SQL injection attempt was made by 10.0.0.40:1400. We blocked the connection to prevent the attacker from tampering with sensitive data" The image attached shows that 10.0.0.40 is my Sonos:One Is this a problem ? Assistance appreciated.

I have two PLAY:1 speakers that I only use when I'm getting ready for work in the morning. I've noticed that they register on my router as uploading about 3 GB of data per month EACH. Does anyone have any idea why this would happen?

It would be great if Sonos could produce a stand alone, powerful waterproof outdoor speaker, which like the rest of their products, you just plug in and it connects via your wifi to your stable of Sonos speakers within your household. You just add them as another room i.e garden, or patio; or pool. Even though Sonos have recently partnered with a manufacturer of outdoor speakers, these units are not without their drawbacks. For them to link into your Sonos network they have to be connected (hardwired) either through a Sonos connect or a Sonos amp ( or another amp). Not only do you have to buy a connect or an amp if you don't have one, which I don't, it also can be expensive and or difficult hard connecting your outdoor speakers to these units. Adding the cost of installation, the cost of a connect or an amp, and the cost of speakers, make connecting an outside room, or rooms, to your Sonos stable of speakers prohibitively expensive. Not to mention the fact that it seems to run

I have a Beam, Play 1 Pair and Sub in my living room & a Play 1 in my dining room. I use all a surround, although they are listed as separate rooms. The pair in the living room crackled yesterday and today they are not working at all. I disconnected the sub and tried to reconnect it but it says unable to connect. I unplugged speaker pair and sub for 5 minutes, turned my router off and back on and plugged the speaker pair/sub back in but nothing. The Beam in the living room is working and the Play 1 in the dining room is still working but that's all. How do I reconnect the Play 1 Pair and Sub? I have tried to reconnect on both my iPhone and Ipad but nothing works.

The FCC just posted details of the IKEA lamp/speaker, confirming it is based on the Play:1. Pictures are embargoed until August 1st. Details contained in https://fccid.io/SBVRM007/Letter/C2PC-Letter-4233884

Sonos Vs IKEA image.... Do you think they go well together? I own products from both companies, however the reason I purchase from IKEA is very different to what I'm looking to when buying from a company like Sonos. In my mind IKEA is cheap, need some bedroom furniture for the kids. Sonos I consider a premium product that will last me a lifetime.... In my head the two don't go together and even if it was the same product inside the speaker case, I'd never buy it if it had IKEA stuck on the outside. Perhaps I sound snobby.

Just would like to ask all of the experts here that if I'm not using the ALEXA or GOOGLE assistant etc... Is there any difference between the PLAY 1 and SONOS ONE? Will SONOS stop upgrading the firmware of PLAY 1 or the users will not be able to use it in some years? I'm quite worry because I have 8 PLAY 1 in my apartment...

Just simply introducing myself to the community. I was a Bose Soundtouch user up until a couple of months ago. The Bose system was simply unstable. Constant reconnecting speakers, bluetooth sync delays, and their going to another platform altogether was the last straw, so sold everything on ebay and bought a 5.1 Sonos (Beam, sub, (2) play 1's) for our vacation house, and a beam, sub, (2) 1's, and (2) 5's for our main house, as well as a Connect for my home theater system in the basement. Everything works great and I have been really happy with this over the Bose Soundtouch. I would say the sound is comparable between both products, however, I think Sonos does better with mid frequencies and overall sounds "fuller" compared to Bose, at least as it relates to music.

I would like to play "made for you" songs from Spotify through my Sonos speakers without having to download each song. If I could run Spotify through Sonos bluetooth speakers without having to go through the Sonos AP this would solve the problem I think. Is there someway that I can do this?

I had a full sonos system all around the house as my surround sound for 2 TVs. My bridge died and I was forced to move to a boost with its own WiFi well that doesn’t work on the square footage of my house to my investment in sonos is worthless thanks

We got a new sofa table built, and have placed the Sonos Play 1's I have as our surround sound speakers paired with the Sonos Beam. However, as you can see we have the wire as an issue. We wanted to buy some base to pull the wire through the front of the speaker, but we are also open to ideas on how to manage the wire. Any ideas? We don't want to drill anything to the table incase we want to use the table later for another room.

I have a Beam and One currently. The speakers are in adjacent rooms and I'd like them to always both play by default when starting music. Anyone know of a way to do this? Seems like something basic that should be supported.

We just moved to a new house, and I can't find a configuration to stream music to Sonos from my NAS. Old farmhouse, thick wall, etc, the usual problems. Currently, almost the only electric gadgets connected are Sonos and the Wifi (an Orbi Mesh system, base with 4 satellites), so not much interference possible. Sonos is on Channel 1, the wireless on 11. The the LAN connection between the two is from one of the Orbi Satellites to a Sonos Bridge, and the NAS connects physically to the same Orbi. (To minimize distance over the air.) Spotify generally plays fine, NAS gets the above message - sometimes every 10 songs, sometimes all the time. My music on the NAS is almost all in FLAC. The diagnostic is 2104916441. I had the music only playing in one room on purpose (thought it might be a grouping issue). Thanks in advance Chris

I have had my sonos 3s for like 5+ years now and I love them. I also recently got the sub+playbar+play1 (old style) set. Those are great also. Ive always wanted play 5s, so i started looking into them online and found lots of issues of failure and wifi cards going out. Also,one year warranty for these seems too low in my opinion if they dont have a great reputation for lasting. Is this still the case? Has there been any production changes at least for the wifi cards? Amazon has 12% of the reviews at 1 star currently on the play5s. I'd like to get a pair of them, but I'm not prepared to gamble a G for speakers. Thanks!
