Speakers

Can I pair the new Era 100 with my existing Play 1 so I can play music in stereo. ’ If yes, are there any downsides/discernible sound differences to affect the stereo quality ?

I have a gen 1 beam with two play 1’s as surrounds in one room, two play 1’s as stereo pair in another room and a roam.The beam is wired and therefore the “master” speaker.For the past few weeks I’ve been facing issues with this setup that I’ve previously never seen whereby I will regularly open the app and my “Kitchen” setup of two play 1’s is not visible.Sometimes it was visible on my iPad app but not on my android phone and sometimes not on either. Similarly the roam would “disappear”.Most of the time the speakers would be visible in “my system” but the room was not visible.Having been through numerous speaker resets I thought I had solved the problem when I turned off the Wi-Fi on the beam because it was Ethernet cabled. Of course I lost the surround speakers but the kitchen speakers seemed more stable. This weekend I set the Wi-Fi back on the beam, got my surround back and then…Sonos update day and all my problems are back.“Kitchen” speakers have disappeared. Tried unplugging and

For a small bedroom, which do you think would give better sound quality: two Era 100s, or one Era 300?

I have a sonos play 5 gen 1.  It connects to wifi great and works but has a loud humming sound.  It is too old and i won’t be able to trade it in.  is there any advice on what to replace? could it be a grounding issue?  would it be the capacitors?  if so which should i try to replace?  I would rather try and salvage it since it does work well otherwise.  

Hello everyone. I am new to Sonos, so forgive my inexperienced question.I have at home one Amp with Sub Mini, together with Sonance Ceiling Speakers in my living room. It was working great with no problem.Today, I decided to install in my TV room an Sonos Arc with a Sub.When I configured in the Sonos App the new equipment, the Amp+Sub Mini disappears and I can’t find a way to have both configurations on the same app.I want to stream music on my living room (Amp+Sub Miini) while for example my watches a movie in the TV Room (Arc+Sub). Or in occasions, stream the same music to both configurations simultaneously.I tried resetting all of them, but it seems as if is either of the systems, not both together.

Hi, I have x2 Amps and x8 speakers across 2 rooms.On a few occasions the volume reduces down by itself. When you increase it, the volume automatically turns itself down again.it is occasional and not that common but always seems to happen when we are entertaining. For the price of the system you wouldn’t expect this type of issue.Diagnostics reference: 1276846024. Any guidance gratefully received!    

Recently one of my Sonos One speakers went dead. Simply won’t power on. Product is about 4 years old. Seems like a rather common problem. And as others have experienced the resolution is a 30% discount on a new product. And I was basically told it’s not worth fixing…likely will cost almost as much as a discounted new product.  I’ve generally been happy with Sonos but this was definitely a bump in the road. 

Hello community, I have a Sonos amp connecting sonance cab cinema speakers for my left and right an a i12 sonance sub. My question is it never triggers the subwoofer on. My use is just a 2.1 system for the garage. Suggestions and thought are appreciated. I usually have to adjust or disconnect the sub to get it on 

I get my Sonos system programed to work with my WIFI router/modem but the next day my Sonos app informs me that the connection to the router/modem has to be reprogrammed. The reason I am told is because my router/modem switches between 2,4 GHz & 5.0 GHz. It has been recommended to buy a new router/modem that is 5.0 GHz only. Do I really need to get a dedicated 5.0 GHz router/modem? If so what 5.0 GHZ router/modem is recommended?

My One SL is the left speaker in my surround sound system. The other speakers are a beam and One SL. The left rear One SL has be showing updating in the app for days. I have unplugged it and now it will not turn back on. 

Hi there.I may have been a little stupid/naieve.I bought a second-hand pair of Play 1 (S2 compatible) speakers to use on my S1 system.  I downgraded them to S1 and they work very well.I intended to use the pair with my television headphone jack and a connect but the delay in the system puts the lip sync out by several seconds.I would like to return the speakers to S2 in order to resell them.  Is this possible and, if so, how might I do it?Many thanks,Derek P

this weekend, my neighborhood held an annual yard sale.  I bought 2 Play1 speakers and when attempting to register and add speakers to my account / internet, the app asks me to enter the password and shows a partially redacted email address - I assume it is the previous owner because it isn’t mine. Is there a way to remove the previous owner so i can register the speakers?  Is there a phone number I can call to speak with someone to provide documents, etc to add these to my sonos account?  TIA!!Chris

Hello,Is there a way to get my Samsung TV to work with Play 1 & 3 speakers wireless without adding a sound bar? I have no room for one.  Thank you  

...but especially the Play 3 on the right channel of a stereo pair.Connect, four Play 1’s, two Play 3’s. The Left Play 3 is wired.Sirius and TuneIn had been fine all week.Last night, Amazon music started dropping sporadically.Today, Amazon and Connect both drop sporadically all over the apartment.I have swapped red and white cables on every piece of equipment up to and including the Connect, so I presume the Right channel dropping while listening to Line In is NOT an input issue.I have spent the last 90 minutes rebooting my system.When I try changing channels, every wireless speaker disappears. So I have brought each one from its locations, brought them to the living room, wired them, rebooted, and slowly they’ve been re-recognized by the system. This has happened twice.Right now the Connect and the Left Play 3 are both wired, and the sporadic dropping continues. (Long term the only device that can remain wired is the Left Play 3.)Diagnostic tickets 138353271369349562I believe the firs

Hi I have just bought two new Sonos 5s and there’s a problem .I have paired them and trueplayed them.the left speaker sounds great and the right speakers sounds crap There’s a massive imbalance between the two speakerswhat do I do ?

Our current system consists of a Beam and 2 x one sl in the living room, 2 x play 1s in the kitchen. I’ve tried Adding a play 3 with no success, the play 3 resets and adds to the system but disconnects from the WiFi. I’ve tried adding using a Ethernet cable but this hasn’t worked.

Hello, I can’t connect my phone with my Sonos. I don’t have any light on my sonos. Please help me 

Strange issue.I have a three zone Gen 1 Sonos system, Sonos .I’m moving my play 5 from the kitchen to the room next to my bedroom.  When I start music on the play 5 the Sonos Connect in the bedroom cuts out and then disappears.If I move the play 5 back to the kitchen it is OK and both Play 5 and Sonos Connect work.  If I move the Play 5 back to the spare bedroom next to the main bedroom then the Sonos Connect drops out again and disappears from the zone list.The Sonos Connect is wired to the network, the Play 5 is wireless.Any ideas?Is it a proximity issue as the bedrooms are next to each other?

I just got a Sonos Move.  I am wondering if there is a setting which allows me to still listen to the speaker while on the phone?

V 14.20OS S2Play 3 & Play 1iMacI have the above system and to be honest use the system relatively lightly.First issue I’ve had of late is since a period in January when I was away and iMac not switched on I came home and found that the Play 1 speaker had disappeared from my system. I unplugged the speaker (from power) and after a minute or so it reappeared on my system. It has since done this at least three times since then - latest being today 3/3/23. Also as a result of this the ‘Music in my Queue also disappears and needs replacing. No big deal, but a bind! Second issue is over last few days I’ve been prompted to do an Update. I click the relevant prompts, I then get asked for my Sonos p’word, I’m then told that ‘an unexpected error has occurred, please try again - I keep trying and get the same response. Can anybody assist re these issues please?I carry out these ops on the IMac, I have the App on my mobile but dont use it. Many thanksKeith

I do not see the Sonos Five on my Bluetooth on my iPhone? How do I connect?

As a big Sonos user with a variety of items, I’m majorly disappointed to find my Sonos sub completely dead and barely after two years of use.  It’s in a safe location, never been touched once set up and now there is no power light or any sound.  I called customer service, confirmed the power cord is properly plugged in, tested different outlets and didn’t get any power, light, or sound.  They suggested I return it and buy another one.  For the price of this product, and the quality Sonos claims to be, there is no way a sub should die on it’s own after 2 years. Why would I pay the high price for another when the first didn’t last? 

I have a multiple speakers in a group, and in the last few weeks have had numerous issues with audio playing.Currently I have a speaker (Play:1) that is in the group which will not playing audio, but I can play/pause the group from this speaker.  I can also remove and add the speaker from the group through the app via iPhone or iPad.  However no matter how many times I remove or add the speaker it will not play the audio like the other speakers in the group.Other speakers in the group are two (2) Play:1’s and a Roam.I had this issues with the Roam and I ended up having to reset the Roam and re-pair it to my system.My biggest problem is it appears I am chasing this issue from speaker to speaker.  Why? I have a mesh network set up and it is functional.  I have already restarted it for troubleshooting, and no change.  

Our Play5 used to work over Wi-Fi, but since about half a year ago it can’t connect over Wi-Fi anymore, and now only works when an ethernet cable is connected. We also have a One SL, which works fine over Wi-Fi. I submitted a diagnostic: 1740776518

I am having trouble connecting my two Play 3 speakers to my new WiFi wirelessly. I don't want to have trailing cables so don't want to use ethernet cables.My new Arc has connected perfectly well, but I have reset my Play 3 speakers and they won't connect
