Speakers

I have tried to gather my old Sonos units in our second home with the aim of using the S1 app for those units when we are here.the Sonos units involved:• play:5• play:1• BridgeI have the S1 app on my iPhone at version 11.8 which should be the latest.Status:Play:5:Success, this one is working as expected on the S1 app.Play:1 was previously in an S2 network, but I have followed the steps to downgrade it to S1 and now it’s blinking green and is ready to connect.Issue seems to be the app… when click add add product, there’s a pop up saying that the app needs to update and when I accept I only get an error message. After clicking more info I get the error code 1101.I have tried all the hints related to 1101 but still the same result: can’t add more products.Bridge: this one doesn’t show at all, but given that the play:5 works it feels as it’s a bit redundant (even if it would feel better to connect since I anyway have it…). I I have also tried to connect the play:1 without having the Bridge

I have a Beam gen2 with a sub and two era 100s for surrounds. I cannot get any sound when trying to play a game console (Nintendo Switch or Xbox 1) Any solutions to this?

I’m trying to balance the tv sound bar and LandR speakers but it says one of my speakers is lost?  All plugged, switched on and working.

I have a arc with 2 ones and a sub for surround set up with trueplay.if I turn off ones and sub does the arc play as a stand alone product, or as it would as part of the group?

With the latest software update it is difficult and frequently impossible to group my speakers when I try to play Deezer (maybe some other audio services). My diagnostic code is 830627147.  Best regards 

On my E300s there is a 13 second delay when listening via airplay. This is from both my Mac and my iPhone. The same devices have a 2 second lag when airplaying to other devices including my Sonos 5s, Ones, Arc, and Apple HomePods. Thirteen seconds seems pretty excessive. Is there some setting I'm not seeing that can fix this?Normal wifi play is instantaneous. I 

Hi I’m just moving from an old squeezebox system and the lack of this feature (or my inability to find it) is driving me nuts. If I physically change the volume on one speaker in a group, I want all the other speakers in the group to adjust their volume as well. I sort of can’t believe this option doesn’t exist… I had the ability to fine tune the experience on my squeezebox system for as long as I can remember, and I think I started buying them over twenty years ago. Sonos- please add this (very basic) feature.

My sub was paired to a Beam gen 1 but recently I had my doubts if it actually supported the Beam. Today I paired it with a new Arc and I come to the conclusion that it doesnt give any sound. In the Sonos-app it states the roomname + sub. I tried to remove it from my sytem and add it back, which did not help. There are no new updates. Anyone have an idea on how to solve this? 

How can i hear in Sonos One my audio files that I have stored in my iphone??? Is here any way to connect my iphone to Sonos like any other speaker device through Bluetooth?? 

I predominantly listen to music on Sonos and have an existing 2x Sonos One (Gen2). Considering that Sonos Sub Mini and Era300 are priced similar. Should I rather add the Sonos Sub Mini to my existing setup or get Era 300. It is for my small to mid sized lounge. Which should give me the best music experience?Thanks

Hey everyone, I’m flustered with how the Sonos system keeps cutting out at my new place. This was a much more tolerable issue before (when I also didn’t have Boost in place). At my new place, I’ve installed 8 speakers (individually for now) and everytime I start to play a song from Spotify, half of the speakers cut in and out for the first 20 seconds and eventually come on. This isn’t an issue for the subsequent songs if the queue remains uninterrupted. But, if I try to play another song, well, we’re back to square one!I just installed Boost and the situation improved mildly. But, I still have the same frustrating thing as before. While I love these speakers, this really seems unacceptable to me at this point and I’m now thinking if I should just get rid of the entire system and find a better alternative.My place is a 1,000 square foot flat and Boost, distance and location wise, isn’t too far from the speakers (30ft max from the farthest). Anyone had a better luck with this? 

Good evening Just bought two Era 100’s as my main music source. They are excellent, however, I have a problem. All my other speakers and my sound bar are on Sonosnet, while the Era 100’s obviously are on my Wi-Fi. The problem I have is when I group the Era100’s with any of my other Sonos one’s they keep losing connection. Yet play the Era 100’s on their own or likewise the other speakers on Sonosnet on their own they work fine. They just will not work when grouped properly.

 I have a Beam, Sub and Pair of Ones along with a pair of Fives that all connect to Sonos Net via the Sonos Boost plugged directly into my router.I also have a pair of ERA 300s that are not compatible with Sonos Net. Up until yesterday I've had no problem playing music to any two pairs or all speakers at once. Ever since the most recent app update (today or yesterday), I can combine the groups of speakers or "rooms" that are on the Sonos net and play them together, but the ERA 300s cannot play the same song at the same time all of the sudden.I can also play just the ERA 300s, but if I attempt to add in either of the other rooms, the app shows them playing but no audio comes out.Anybody else experiencing this?

HI.Bought an ERA 100 for a friend’s new home.  They have a Samsung smart tv and want to play the sound through the ERA. Can you let us know how to do that? The tv connects through wifi. At this point the Sonos is paired by bluetooth to a phone. The Sonos app is installed.Thanks for any help and info.

For about the last month, my Sonos Playbar and a pair of Play 1 speakers temporarily stop playing together after grouping.The Playbar is also used as a TV speaker, which causes it to ungroup from Play 1 speakers when the TV is on. That’s the way we prefer it for TV watching.When listening to music, we prefer a whole room effect, so we group them together.For about the last month, especially when listening to SiriusXM, the grouping works great for about the first 10 minutes, then the Playbar drops off for about 3 minutes, so only the Play 1s are working. Then  the Playbar returns to the group by itself, although the overall sound quality is degraded.I have tried powering down all components, then rebooting, to no avail.I live in a high rise building amidst many other WiFi systems. The components all work off a Wifi extender on a Google Fiber network. All the components are 12 feet or closer to the extender.Grateful for any help. I have submitted diagnostics Confirmation #515872033.

Sound distorts in the upper midrange only when classical-orchestral music is playing. Is there any adjustment that would help

If you would just like to listen to music on stereo pair, the ability to ungroup them from soundbar with a click and then regroup back again when you’re done listening without the need to reconfigure TruePlay would be a nice feature to have. 

Just trying to stream audio from my iPad / youtube app to my Era 300.The cog spins and spins and fails, When I disconnect airplay, the youtube app just hangs. I’ve tried two different iPads and I get the same issue with both.Has anyone else had this problem?Thanks

Hi AllI have just received my white Era 100 to use in my bedroom as a single speaker. Here are my thoughts:The look of the speaker - nice looking although I actually prefer the outgoing One (I have 2 sets of them).  The metal grille of the older speaker looks more premium in my opinion. The 100 is still nice mind you.The set up - very easy as I have excellent WiFi in my home. Did not affect my SonosNet speakers in any way. My app now also reflects the WiFi signal feature on this and my portable speakers which is nice. The sound - definitely an improvement on the Ones but not as bigger difference as I thought it would be. Just goes to show how good the Ones are! I would not recommend anyone replaces their Ones, but if buying this size speaker for the first time, then get the 100. Mainly due to the added connections (Bluetooth and line in).Hope this is of use 👍😊 

Hi. Need help. I want to have 2 ceiling speakers in kitchen/dinning room (for music) and 2 ceiling in living room . I have bought 2 pairs of speakers and 1 amp. is this possible to have living room speakers working with tv and music in kitchen? thanks

I have an LG OLED55BXPTA TV connected to a Sonos Beam2 and S1 surrounds via HDMI eArc.  There is a major difference in sound when switching between local channels.  I have to increase or decrease volume massively to listen effectively.I have searched online and fiddled with the LG TV Sound settings without success - currently DTV Audio Setting is set to Auto and Digital Sound Out set to Pass Through.If I go into the Sonos App - About My System I notice that the if the TV is on the channel that is very loud then Audio In: is Dolby Digital 2.0, whilst most other channels have PCM 2.0.In another room I also have a Sony OLED TV with a Sony ARC and it shows Audio In: is Dolby Digital 2.0 Plus on all channels.How can I get Audio In: to be Dolby Digital 2.0 Plus on all channels from the LG TV?  Any way to fix the sound difference?

However, as help for other users has been offered here, this topic will remain available. I recently purchased a Sonos system for my home, and while I love the sound quality and ease of use, I'm experiencing some major connectivity issues. The speakers frequently drop out or lose connection to the network, and I'm having trouble getting them to reconnect. I've tried all the troubleshooting steps recommended by Sonos, including resetting the system and checking for firmware updates, [spam link redacted] nothing seems to help. It's frustrating to spend so much money on a premium audio system only to have it constantly disconnect and fail to work properly. I would appreciate any advice or assistance from the Sonos community or support team in resolving these connectivity issues.

Can I use a Sonos One and Sonos move into Stereo mode?

Hello Sonos Community, At the moment I’m using a Sonos Ones Pair in my office. With the new Sonos Era 100 it should be possible to connect a pair of these beauties to my Computer. Even better would be if i could also connect my record player. So that i could switch the Input from Computer (connected to 1 Era 100) or the Record Player (connected to the other Era 100 Pair) I’m pretty sure this does not work but maybe you can proove me better and i will directly buy them !! :-)Thanks for your help

I noticed that my pair of era 100 have a solid green light turn on when set as stereo pair. How can I turn off the green light? The green light is not there when the pair is used as surround. Tried turning off the status light button in the app but the green light is still on
