Hi, how can we listen to audio from browser on our phones or desktop computers (through Era 100)? I’m on iPhone and Mac M2, if it matters. Sonos app doesn’t seem to allow it.

Use AirPlay 2 to send the signal from one of the Apple products to the speaker. You can’t connect both at the same time, though. At that point, you’re essentially skipping the Sonos software, and the using Apple’s AirPlay 2 to control the speaker(s), although if need be, grouping in the Sonos software is still preferable, so you’re not sending multiple streams from the Apple device.

I’m doing this at the moment, sending an AirPlay 2 signal from an Apple TV to a Sonos One, which I’ve then grouped in Sonos with a pair of PLAY:3s.

Pretty impressive, you folks’ dedication to Sonos!

But anyways, sorry, on second thought, you all are right. It’s not really Sonos, it’s us, the ignorant and irresponsible consumers who haven’t done the due diligence, not read more carefully, not done enough research, and not questioned all the technical specifications and limitations. It was all out there, open and clear. We’ve assumed and failed. A lesson for us and everyone!

@CGG Why the agressive tone of voice and accusations if people do not agree completely with you?

Is it such a bad idea to ask people to investigate before they purchase things? Or see a knowledgeable retailer that could prevent them from buying device that go without a feature that is important to them?
