Speakers

I’m a little confused, I like to control my Sonos One by voice. I’ve been doing that easily by talking to the One directly using Alexa. However, when I’m out of range/have to shout to Alexa, it would be nice to instead just talk to Alexa using my iPhone (maybe this is where Siri steps in?). Is that feature possible now that Airplay 2 is around? Thanks

Hi, New Sonos user. Just got the Play1. One of the great features of using Airplay on my yamaha receiver is that I can see the album art and track playing on the tv screen (that is hooked up to the receiver). Would love it if Sonos could create something like that.

Struggling to find how to rename a speaker eg from kitchen to lounge

I have currently one Sonos play 3 and am looking at buying a Sonos beam sound at for a new Sony tv I was just wondering if I am able to connect the beam to the play 3 and use both speakers for TV sound? Thanks in advance

Hi All, I have added a Play:1 to my set up and mounted it in the bathroom, because the UK dont alllow sockets in the bathroom I have mounted in the top corner of the room(on the wall) and dropped the power lead down from the loft. The speaker is mounted above head height, the problem here is that the bottom of the paly:1 looks unsightly with the sticker/plug/feet so I have mounted it upside down with the status light and buttons facing down. Also the buttons are reachable/usable and as sonos can be read both ways the speaker looks the correct way up!! Looks great!:) My only concern is with the humidity proof claims, with the plug being on the top is there more potential for condensated water to seep in to the AC connection? Had several showers and seems fine but thought I would gather a few peoples opinions??

After changing my router the Play 1 and Playbar all work fine but the Sonos 5 gen 2 only works if connected direct to the router or extender

How can I create different groups with the surround speakers in my living room? It seems that because they are already in the "living room" group, I cannot create a new group with the play 1 speakers. I would love to be able to use them independently as well, not just a supplement to my playbar and sub.

Stopped connecting to wifi absolute garbage technology

Maybe I'm nuts and there wouldn't be demand for this, but I would love to be able to pop a Play:1 on a battery stand and take it out back when we have a BBQ. It would probably be about 2 inches tall, and could be wider than the Play:1 to give it good balance. The Play:1 really is designed for this, with the power input on the bottom, it would be easy. I'm also surprised there isn't a third party hack to do this - unless I'm wrong? If Alibaba doesn't have it, it probably doesn't exist. Thoughts? Am I out in left field on this? I know it would have to be connected to wifi, but in this day and age, that's not a challenge for many people, to just get a bit of wifi coverage in their backyard.

I'm selling my play:1 - do I have to deregister it for the buying to use it?

Hi, I have got: 1x Sonos play1 in bedroom 1x sonos play1 in kitchen 1x beam + 2 Sonos play1 in living room Sometimes I experience Spotify or tunein blackouts while Sonos support can't understand the problem. Se times they say wifi interference sometimes problem is Spotify... Today they told me that using Sonos with Google wifi needs 1 speaker connected wired to router. Of course because I have 1 Google wifi this is obviously wrong. Now... I see Google wifi logs and see only 1 speaker receiving the audii stream. So I understand that to sync speakers Sonos use its own protocol independently of my wifi good or bad. So my questions are: - if I have good wifi coverage it is still possible that it doesn't work because Sonos internally uses its own protocol on the same network band? If this is true I can work to make the best wifi in life but if Sonos internal communication is bad, because of my environment I don't solve anything. - wifi mesh configurations like Goo

Does anyone know if a new and updated playbar is under way soon with updated software and Airlink similar to the Beam?

How do I check if I am in Standard or Bridge (Boost )Mode? and Should I see all of my speakers as Media players on my laptop?

I'd like to take two of my old Play:5s to a Christmas party at a local church. How do I set them up at the different location and play music from Amazon (usually we start it with Alexa, but maybe I'd try using the app since I don't think I can use my Alexa with Sonos at the party), but then after the party bring them back home and have them work like normal?

Hello. I'm considering buying another Play:5, and I'd like to know if there's an easy toggle between Mono and stereo. I guess an individual on/off toogle would also work (provided the speaker auto reverts to mono ofc). Both options would be best. Since I only have one speaker, I haven't ever looked at the room configs or anything, so if this is self explanatory from the set-up, I apologize. Thank you,

If I use 2 sonos ones as surround speakers with my playbar can I still use the Alexa function as I could as a stand alone speaker... or should I just use play 1s and my existing echo dot?

I've been having the same problems with music playlists stop playing and "network connection speed insufficient" messages coming up shortly after every track it try's to play and skips to the next!!!! Really gets annoying when your trying to chill out!!!

Has this been fixed yet? For whatever reason I cannot delete a phantom zone/player. We have 10 Sonos speakers but it shows 12

I really wish to know why a brand new wireless speaker has to support only the oldest Wi-Fi protocol 802.11b/g... no 802.11ac, neither 802.11n... It's a shame! :@ Any tecnical reason involved?

The speakers connected to my Connect:Amp randomly output static when no music is playing. Any idea what might cause this?

Hi, what are the details of sonos approved repair centres please?

Hi there, I have the SONOS 5 gen1 with a solid red light after the latest update, any recommendation or help? factory reset or resetting controller did not help.

Post a year and 2 months of use my 2nd gen Play 5 would refuse to turn on out of the blue. A quick google search confirmed a number of users facing the same issues across the Sonos product line. On contacting Sonos, initially they asked me to send them a couple of photos showing the speaker connected to the power supply and the serial number. The customer rep said that this would be taken care at no cost to me. After submitting the photos, I receive a email for an RMA/replacement wherein they offered to ship a replacement for a whopping $280, which is more than half the original price of the Play 5. On enquiring further with the customer rep, I was curious to understand how did Sonos arrive at the replacement value without even going through my device. I understand that a speaker like anything else can go kaput, however my problem here is the flat price tag to replace it with no guarantee that this would not happen with the replacement device. Ideally I would prefer if Sonos gave a

1) Does a stereo pair allow for 2 selectable line in sources? Ex. Left = a turntable preamp and Right = Airport Express. 2) If setup as a rear surrounds, do you need to remove them from the Playbar and setup again to use the line in feature? Ideally, I'd like to use these as rear surrounds with a Playbar for 75% of the time and then as a stereo pair with a turntable for the remainder. But I believe that when paired as surrounds this removes the line in option(s) even when set to "full".

Anyone else purchased a gen 2 play 5 and been shocked at the poor sound? I have had it a few weeks and can't believe all the rubbish spouted in the press. Despite being used in a few locations and having true play set up its terrible. Closed in mid range, splashy treble and flat sounding. Does Sonos only offer 100 day returns if bought from them? Anyone want to buy it?
