hacked speaker - it was awful

My sonos speaker suddenly emitted the most terrible sound I can ever think of. It was SOO loud and in the middle of my very wonderful evening, I could not barely get it to stop. literally causes me some PTSD. I'm not a wimp either.I realized my sono speaker was hacked. This happened on February 5th 2023 about 1:00 a.m. Why would someone do this and is this being addressed by sonos or whomever tech company's security hole this belongs to. Anyone have answers? This was not a small issue, it was terrible.

Bluetooth

I have One SL and One. They are connected together wirelessly but i can't use Bluetooth. I am planning to buy sonos roam and connect the 3 speakers together. I then want to connect Bluetooth to Sonos roam as it supports bluetooth and expect all three to play. Is this possible ?

Connect vintage turntable to Sony TA-1130 to Era 300

Hello all, I think I have this figured out, but I’m no expert and cant find my exact setup or attempted setup. I have a record player without an integrated amp. I also have a vintage Sony receiver that I inherited from my grandfather, its a TA-1130. I just purchased the era 300 with the line in adapter. I believe I can get this all working together.I hook the record player to the receiver with RCA cables, then receiver to era 300 with an RCA to 3.5mm cable.My question is what input on back of receiver do I connect the rca to 3.5. Im assuming the preamp input? any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

How to add PC speakers to Sonos

This seems like a very straightforward thing to do so I’m really hoping I’m missing something. I have really nice PC speakers. I want to add them to Sonos so that they are a device. Similar to using the Sonos Port with a tuner. I’ve got the Sonos app on my PC but I do not see anywhere to simply play or add the PC’s speakers to Sonos.Please tell me this is possible and how to do it :) Thanks!

Connect my Sonos Arc to my new Deco PX50 mesh

Hi, I have read through all related posts and can’t seem to figure out how to get it working. I have just purchased a Deco Mesh PX50 which is a powerline mesh network. I can’t figure out how to get the arc connected to the network and I need this as it is how I stream my music. I also need the mesh as the wifi in the house was not adequate previously. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Help with figuring out bluetooth delay issue

Hi all!I recently moved an Era100 to another room to use it as a computer speaker and I am running into a strange scenario: If a connect through bluetooth from my mac there’s no delay If I connect through Bluetooth from my PC, there is a noticeable delay. The interesting thing is that I also have a Muso QB. If I connect through bluetooth to it from the same PC, I don’t experience any delay. I am not a 100% sure why there’s only delay on the Era 100 and not both of the speakersAnyone had a similar scenario and was able to sort it out?

After rebooting my music voice command "Stop music or pause music" will not function.

JoshSydContributor I

I’ve just purchased an Indoor/Outdoor set (Era 100 and Move), I plan on getting a second Era 100 to set up together eventually, just didn’t do it right away due to the cost. My question is, could I have 2 Era 100 in sync with my Move? I’m not concerned with stereo sound. I just want the two era 100 playing inside and the move outside when I have people over. Thanks in advance!

Use Eras 100 as speaker for Mac Studio

I would like to use my Eras 100 as a speaker for my Mac Studio.Since I want to avoid delays, I would like to use the line-in on the ERAS 100. Bought a USB-C to 3.5mm adaptor from Apple, but it’s not working.Do I need the SONOS dongle absolutely? Is there something unique about the SONOS version? I don’t think the Mac Studio has a “pre-amp” but I am not sure. Will it work once I have the proper dongle or I will be limited by my Mac Studio output capacity?

Sub mini + Era 100 as PC speakers

Hi, I am using 2x Era 100 as stereo pair connected to my PC via Bluetooth. I’d like to add a Sub mini to this pair. Will this system work for Bluetooth streaming via PC/Mac? Sonos website mentions that the Sub Mini does not support Bluetooth. I know I could add them as a system on Sonos app and airplay music, but I am not sure if it will work with BT.

Compatibility from US to UK

I have a Sonos sound bar, subwoofer and 2 speakers that I purchased in late 2016 in the US. I’ve just moved to the UK and I’m hearing that components ‘should’ be able to be used here in the UK but I want to confirm that before I try plugging them in and connecting them.How can I determine what models I have, and if they are or are not able to be used here in the UK?

Permanently link Roam and and Ones

Hi, is there any way to permanently link a set of Sonos Ones with a Roam (which I am using as a bridge to play a Bluetooth-only source onto my Ones)? Currently, the transition between playing a streaming-source (which makes use of all the speakers turned on) and playing the bluetooth device is not so seamless as the Roam automatically gets ungrouped from the Ones every time it detects the bluetooth source and I have to re-group them manually.I thought I would just be able to add the Roam to the same “Room” as the Ones, but the “Living Room” doesn’t appear as an option when I try to assign a room to the Roam (a new room called Living Room 2 gets created automatically).I set up this system for my uncle who has a disability so it’s kind of hard for him to remember all the steps and scenarios. Many thanks
