Speakers

We've recently bought a sonos connect and some play speakers to connect to our existing stereo system and be able to play cds in different rooms than where the stereo is located but it seems impossible to play the sonos speakers at the same time as the existing speakers as plugging in the connect "mutes" the stereo speakers. Is there a solution for this?

If Sonos want us to re-invest in a whole bunch of Play 1 speakers then Sonos should offer a SUBSTANTIAL buy back program for the six Sonos 1 speakers I have just recently purchased. So now we see competition from Apple and Google and others into this market and now it's Sonos that's on the learning curve. Still mending cart wheels while the competition is off to new galaxies.

As I did buy (4) Sonos play:1 with the ensurement that Sonos have build in the chip needed for AirPlay, Sonos just pulled the support and imho a buy back recycle program should be enforced by Sonos - any change for this?!?

I need to swap a couple speakers amongst existing rooms - how do I do that? In other words, take an existing speaker that is set up in one room, and simply switch it with another existing speaker in another room...

Is it just me, or does Tidal sound better when streamed from the app on a laptop over AirPlay? Especially the masters?

My play5 has been acting odd, disappearing from my list of speakers, not wanting to pair with other speakers, while still playing. Problem goes away when I unplug and reply in, but now it’s happening almost daily. I’ve submitted diagnostics and can provide the conf. number.

When using AirPlay 2 with any music streaming app or the native iPhone Music app, playback is stopped when adding a song to the queue. Immediately after hitting “play next”, playback stops and has to be manually resumed. Anyone else experienced this bug? Seems intermittent and random.

Sonos has added support for Airplay on Apple devices. So i can play Spotify with the free account!! When will there be support for streaming to Sonos on Android devices?

I have three speakers. They are in my fitness facility. I have them all under one grouping and working fine. I have two play ones and one play five . The last when I hooked up is on a power source that is connected to automatic lights. When the lights turn off after 10 minutes the Sonos also turned off. When someone walks in the room the lights turn on, the Sonos turns on, but it does not go back into playing music. Is there a way to set it or he’ll get with the other speaker so that when the power comes back on so those the music . The other two are continually going power never shuts off .

Currently have two Play 1's in one room and Playbar and sub attached to TV in another , looking to get two of the new Sono's 1 to go with the play bar and sub as the new speakers have Alexa built in is their any reason i cant split the two new speakers , so i have a Play 1 and a sonos 1 in one room and the other Play 1 and sonos 1 in the another room and have Alexa in both rooms , is their any technical reason why this wont work or am looking for a problem which isn't there

I have a pair of Play:1 speakers in one room and a pair of Play:3 in another. Due to room sizes, furniture, etc, I am considering mixing the pairs, one each Play:1 & Play:3. How do I reassign speakers?

Is Sonos a Speaker company or a music streaming service?

My ZP90 refuses to power up since last week. Due to stereo upgrades over time it’s only function was to stream to a gen 1 play 5 in another room. My question is do I need to replace the ZP90, or is the Play 5 able to function without it? The Play 5 is in a different room to my router.

I would like Sonos to consider making a screen-equipped voice-controlled speaker like the Amazon Echo Show. I have an Echo Show in my kitchen. In this room I find a screen-equipped, voice-controlled speaker more useful than a standard voice-controlled speaker. However, because its not a Sonos device I can't control it from my Sonos apps and and I can't group it with my Sonos speakers. Furtherore the sound quality is not as good as my Sonos speakers. I would hope a screen-equipped Sonos device would support both Alexa and Google Assistant. Would anyone else be interested in something like this?

I have a pair of Sonos One speakers that I have set up in my living room and used Trueplay for calibration. I've now added a third speaker in the same room. I set the third speaker up as a different room on the app, but then paired the two rooms together so that all three are operating together. Here's the question -- how would you go about the Trueplay calibration? Would you just now calibrate the new third speaker? Would you re-calibrate the initial pair? Also -- do you think that this was the best way to connect three speakers for the same room? Any advice on this point is welcome as well.

I have two Play:1 connected to my beam. Can I increase the volume on the speakers without increasing volume on the beam?

Hi all, I have two Sonos Ones and a Sonos Beam, as well as a HomePod and a Libratone Zipp (the last of which should be AirPlay 2 compatible within a couple of months). I love that AP2 allows me to play music to all of these devices in sync. I'm considering adding two Sonos Play:1s to my Beam to create a surround sound setup. What I'm wondering is if I do so will I be able to include this bonded group as an AirPlay 2 target and still have the sound sync with my other AP2 devices, or will the additional processing required for the Beam to send sound to the Play:1s result in some lag? Hopefully somebody else will have a similar setup and be able to shed some light on this. Thanks, Rod

I can't believe I'm here saying this, having had my SONOS system which has evolved over the years for 6yrs now it has worked flawlessly up until 6-months ago. SONOS was a company brand I could trust but update after botched update lead to system instability but really grinds my gears is how they have imposed the SONOS account as a requirement - with threats of disabling MY system if I don't create a password and link the SONOS account. They have removed my ability to change music service settings or (very unlikely now) my ability to add new hardware, blackmailing me into creating and linking a SONOS account to my system. I totally get registering my system for warranty purposes, that's my choice but telling me the next update will break my system if I don't create and link a password to it and then restricting/removing my ability to configure MY Sonos system is a joke. I asked repeatedly for a justification as to why they needed a SONOS ac

I have a sonos amp that I would like to add two subs too. Is this possible? If not, can I have one of the subs set up under a different room, paired with another sonos device but just run them simultaneously?

I bought my PLAY:5 GEN 1 in 2009 and have used and loved it ever since. I added a couple of Play:1 a few years later. Anyway, as the PLAY:5 is nearly ten years old, I'm wondering if there is a trade in program and any maintenance that should be done. Again, love Sonos, no problems, just wondering what I should do to stay current. 😃

is songs planning to sell a battery based outdoor speaker?

I recently added Play 1 speakers to the playbar and sub. Initially, everything was wonderful. Not it seems the Play1's are making a cracking or popping noise during TV time? Does anyone know how to resolve this?

Whenever I get a new speaker my test is always Bjork, Hunter... this track is brilliant because its really punchy with lots of layers but the beats flow from left to right at the start of the track. Listen to this on a stereo paired play one and youll be amazed, they fly across the room and you wamt to move your head to follow the beats... Received my beam yestersay and after it was all set up and i did the trueplay etc i gave it a go, there was no feeling of the music going from side to side at all, just felt like it was all coming from the middle. Quite dissapointed in this to be honest after reading reviews suggesting that the playbar has speakers on the sides which does a good job of this. Maybe it will get better once trueplay tunes a bit more? But i doubt it... Any chance a software upgrade could be applied in the future to fix this do you think?

I contacted customer service to see if I could send my Play5 in for repair. I told them that I thought it had stopped working due to water damage and this is the response I got: Thank you for contacting Sonos Customer Care. Unfortunately, we won't be able to accept the PLAY:5 back for repair or replacement once water damage has been done to the unit. I was perfectly willing to pay for a repair or a refurb replacement but no such solution was offered. It's a shame, Sonos is turning away my money and firing me as a customer. If this is the service we can expect, my next wifi speaker will be an Apple HomePod. #disappointed

My iTunes music listening scheme relies on play count being updated and Sonos didn’t support that so I wasn’t a Sonos user. But we got a Playbase as a sound bar for our TV and liked it a lot and enjoyed the streaming functionality. Since Airplay 2 support - which would allow me to stream directly from iTunes like I do the Airplay speakers I had - came out, I decided to pick up a Sonos One to play with. Airplay directly from iTunes, and Sonos streaming capability - best of both worlds, right? I set my shiny new Sonos One up today and…hit an unexpected snag. If I would play music using iTunes to my computer speakers and using Airplay to also stream to the Sonos One at the same time - the play counts in my Smart Playlists would NOT be updated. However, if I started streaming to a second non-Sonos Airplay speaker (so, computer speakers, Sonos One and an additional Airplay speaker), the play counts WILL be updated. So: Airplay to
