Speakers

As per title, can you have a Sonos One and Play:1 paired for stereo sound, or do you need two Sonos One's?

I just opened and set up my play 1's with a beam and I'm hearing a cracking noise from the speakers. I've submitted a diagnostic with the ref number 1404600394

Security vulnerabilities in Sonos products

We recently made a Play:3 our first Sonos purchase, and I like it. A lot. The fact that my wife can use the app without me having to help is a massive plus as well! But, the room we put it in is a large one, and my original plan was to pair a couple of 3's eventually. But after listening to a Play:5 I've ordered one to test that out - I think two in that room would be overkill, but I'll be really interested to see how it plays out vs a Play:3 pair in stereo.

I'm considering adding a Playbar to replace my current soundbar. But the one big issue I have with the Bose Solo is with the feature I bought it for. You can turn on a "Dialog" mode which is supposed to make speech easier to hear. It does semi-fair job but loud sounds are still pretty loud and quiet talk is still quiet talk. What I'm looking to know from owners is this. I want to be able to set a reasonable listening volume in the evenings and have the Playbar not get too loud and those quiets whispers you'll actually be able to hear. Will it do that? Right now I have to hang tight to my remote so that when the action pumps I have to crank it down, when the dialog starts up I have to crank it up, then down, then up. I'm looking for a solution to that. Thanks!

The best location for our Sonos Sub is on the ground right next to our forced air vent that delivers air conditioning and heat. I'm a little hesitant to place it there though, with fears that it will get damaged. Does anyone know if my concerns are valid? Thanks!

Hi. Does anyone know if the 100 day trial on Sonos products in the UK applies only to those bought directly from Sonos or does it also apply if you purchase from John Lewis, Currys etc ?

Hi all, i'm a proud new sonos play 5 owner and i'm really enthusiast about the audio quality of this single player.. but.. often i use the line in, cause i need hear better youtube videos, netflix and other locals media in vlc too, i have a problem. almost always when i click play on the media (web or local), the audio starts after some seconds. When it starts theres no latency, but i have to restart the track cause i lost 3 - 5 or 20 seconds too.. it's like a standby of the linein... how can i setup the sonos client to make always on and resolve this fix? thank you all Paolo

Can I use my old play 5 and a new play 5 Gen 2 as a stereo pair ?

https://www.wired.com/story/sonos-nick-millington-exclusive-interview/ Quote from this excellent feature on Nick Millington Sonos' Chief Product Officer is quite interesting. "It will be up to Millington and his product team to chart a course through the choppy, frenemy-filled waters ahead. To do it, he may help guide the company into new places altogether. Until now, all Sonos products have been shackled to rooms inside your home. In the future, Millington hints, Sonos may create its first speakers and audio products designed to leave the house." Where some of the IPO money may go. This is a progressive development if true.

I have a play 3 about 2 years old that is in a secondary room and hardly gets used, it had true play or whatever auto sound deal, it blew the base as I was listening to The Beatles...I feel it should handle that without issue I mean that's a joke right? I've searched these forms and I've seen multiple people with the EXACT same issue, specifically the base cracking and blowing with easy listening. I think it's clearly a manufacturer defect and this system is too high-end to have this happening. I hope sonos makes this right...

I have Sonos speakers in 2 rooms at home. Now I like to move the one in the dining room and implement it as a satellit in the tv room. I have tried to find a Youtube about this but cant find any. Could any one let me know how I do this?

Hi All, Although I have a number of Sonos units dotted around my home they often have different queues playing (What can I say the family loves SONOS) but sometimes I want to create a playlist for future listening. Currently, this means I have to wait for a 'zone' to come available. I think it would be great if you could have a virtual zone just to create playlists. I also like to allow guests to add music to a SONOS playlist if we're having a party and we often have a tablet set aside for this to be done. What often happens though is somebody always jumps their tracks to the front of the queue, wipes a playlist or starts music in different zones (i'm sure it's all accidental). I think it would be a great idea if you could lock down a controller with a PIN to limit what can be done. Thoughts would be greatly appreciated

I just purchased two sonos ONEs and hooked them up. Previously, I had a PLAY:3 directly connected to my router in a closet because I couldn't get the speakers to work otherwise. Music played fine. But, I was told I don't need to bridge to a SONOS component directly attached to a router and that the new speakers and software should just be able to use my WiFi. So, I unplugged the speaker in the closet and after a few minutes none of the speakers works. If I have to buy a bridge to put in the closet, that is one solution, but I wasn't under the impression it should be necessary. I tried to restart a speaker and to restar the app but my efforts are not yielding any result unless I plug the speaker in the closet back in. But, this is a waste of a speaker just to establish a network. thanks Eric

Does the original playbar (the one with he mute button instead of the pause button) have the speech enhancement feature?

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
