Hi there, I am kind of over Sonos at this point. We have had a Play 3 for about 10 years and my wife has been having connection issues forever basically. We decided to buy a 2nd hand Play 5 Gen 2 this week from CEX. Go to connect it and the Play 5 cannot be foundWe…. Factory reset → orange / white lights flashing Play 5 - nothing Power on/off a billion times. reset router - nothing plugged Play 5 into network wired.  turned off old Play 3 - keeping Play 5 wired. keeps trying to find Play 3, and indeed seems to find it despite being off. Maybe by MAC address without power? wired Play 3 and Play 5 - nothing ended up with Play 3 connected via wired and needed to faff about to get it back.checked bluetooth, it’s on. Phone is right next to Play 5, it can’t find it.I am just beyond understanding where to go next. Any ideas? At what point is the product just faulty and I’m no longer being an idiot.Many thanks.RobL

Volendo una coppia stereo è meglio 2 Sonos one oppure 1 Sonos one e una Sonos SL.

I can connect my move to wifi and my iphone says connected by bluetooth. However the little share button icon is greyed out (unlike my sonos speakers for house and outside). When i click on move it just takes me through tour every time

Hello everyone.It's New Year's Eve 2022 here in the UK and we're enjoying music videos on the YouTube app on our Samsung Smart TV with the audio playing through our brand-new, and really excellent, Sonos Beam.It's raining heavily outside, but we're drinking red wine indoors and waiting for Chinese food to arrive.Our plan is to roll-out Sonos speakers in every room soon, so we'd like to know if we'll be able to enjoy the audio from YouTube (and other TV apps) on all those speakers - when we have them. We subscribe to YouTube Premium, if that's relevant at all. But we think, generally, it would be quite cool to do this. Perhaps to still hear the movie audio in the kitchen when we pop to the fridge for a drink - or to the loo! Or to still hear the YouTube music videos playing on the TV in the living room, while taking a bath in the bathroom. Some advice on this from Sonos experts would be greatly appreciated!Thanks, in advance, and we hope you have a wonderful 2023!Brett & Izzy

“There was a problem linking your Play 1 to your account”.      I am incapable of progressing beyond this message in my attempt to set up my system.   Help please. 

I have a pair of Sonos One speakers and a third One by itself.  For some unknown reason, they keep not being recognized over an over again.  I never had this problem and now I go through all the steps to fix it, it finds my system and all works fine… until the next day I try again and it is like groundhog day all over again.The weirdest part is that my speakers will still play whatever music I had on last time; I just cannot access the system from the phone app to control it.Please help!Thanks.Joshua

Hi, I recently finished my basement and it’s a little odd shaped but mostly rectangular. I have my tv and Arc + subwoofer installed and I can’t decide the best location for the speakers so I can run outlets for them. Which option seems better, option A or option B. Both options will be close to the ceiling away from the little kids, hence why I didn’t consider the stands.  

Just purchased a beam gen1. I want to install in same room as a current play5 speaker.will they work in unison?

I recently bought the Amp to replace my old Connect. I play the line in signal via two Play 3’s set as a stereo pair. Since the change to Amp only one of the stereo pair plays the line in signal - Apple Music as source plays through both play 3 speakers. It is not the L/R balance either. Any ideas?

I couldn’t update the speaker so unplugged and connected to the router. That didn’t work so I factory reset it. Now sonos can’t see it to add to my system. 3 days of unplugging and rebooting. 

hithe only threads i found are 9 years old so maybe there is something new now. i can connect to the speaker on my windows 11 pc without any problems when using spotify on phone or PC but somehow it’s impossible to use any other PC sound source as a input signal for the speaker. how is this possible? I usually watch movies/netflix using headphones but i want to use my one SL speaker to also use with netflix, not just spotify and if i get this to work i will buy a 2nd one for the stereo effect.  

Hi, I'm sure this issue has been well covered here but I don't know where to start.Going nuts trying to connect my new Sonos OneSL speaker to my Sony smart tv.All seems to be ok with the speaker. It has the solid white light meaning it's ready to go but what next please?Apologies but I’m not a tech native and so, for me, the setup isn’t intuitive. Been trying for days.

HiTo cut a long story short, my system is a beam gen 2 - sub mini - 2 x Sl1…………...ok, we had ongoing issues with the Wifi, these are now been resolved - (all other wireless products working fine)  the system has been working find until we had internet line go down and had to reset the hub, its taken a number resets and 2hrs on phone to sonos, with no real progress - they said I need to make adjustments to the BT hub, however everything has been working ok till now - I Have now connected the beam - sub and 1 x 1SL, my issue is what ever I try I can’t get the other SL to register to my account - 20 factory resets, hard wire, just won’t work, just about had enough of it now - any ideas.many thanksAndy

Out of the blue, my Play 5 Gen 2 showed offline in the S2 app. I’m fairly certain it’s a failed Wifi card (I’ve done all the usual troubleshooting, rebooting the Boost, rebooting the router etc.) as everything else is fine and the device works when connected via Ethernet.I’ve submitted diagnostic 1258438581. Could someone from Sonos confirm my diagnosis when you get a chance, please.

So I have a new place with ceiling speakers, with no visible branding on them.I have successfully connected a pair to my Connect:Amp, but I would like to parallel wire another pair, but I don’t know if these are 4 or 8 ohm speakers. If they are 8 I’ll be fine (based on the user manual for the Connect), but if they are 4, what is the worst that could happen? Is it possible to measure such a low impedance with a multimeter?

 move will not connect to Wi-Fi. Have tried all suggestions when prompted. 

Hi everyone, I am about to buy a new Sonos Soundbar for my entertainment system. Which model can I go for?

Do you know how to pair symfonisk and sonos move to make stereo? It's look impossible 

Hi I am looking to buy the sonos outdoor speakers with the amp. The 2 architectural speakers and amp come to $1,578. Best buy seems to sell their version of these - Sonance - MAG Series 2.0-Ch. Outdoor Streaming Music System Powered By Sonos® -  Does anyone know what the difference between these are?Does it matter? thanks

My Sonos Play:1 speakers worked fine for years, now they won’t talk to my router. I have reset everything and started again from scratch to no avail.Play:1 speakers work fine when plugged in to router with Ethernet cable, and they are definitely being picked up by my phone when trying to set up, they simply won’t work on my wifi any longer. The router is a good D-Link system, couple of years old, and all other internet in the house works fine.Not sure what to try next!!

Bonjour,J'ai une sonos five et je cherche à avoir le son de ma platine vinyle dessus.La platine n'est pas amplifiée donc j'aimerais passer par mon ampli et sortir sur l'enceinte. Pensez vous que la sortie casque Jack de l'ampli connecté a la prise Jack de l'enceinte fonctionnera? Aujourd'hui je sors le son de la platine sur une enceinte filaire.Merci.Rémi

Is It possible to connect Sonos wirelessly to xbox? I have a play 5 & Play 1 I think gen 1. 

Hi I have 2 speakers in kitchen ceiling and 2 outside speakers in an outside space,They run off the same amp, and I can turn each pair/space off separately as the speakers run through rocker switch, which works perfectly How can I alter the volume as kitchen speakers are louder than outside so could I control the kitchen ones through a volume control dial instead of the rocker switch, then I could reduce the volume to the inside ones via the turn dial, if so what make as I can only find one that controls upto 30w which is not enough for the sonos speakers The controls are all in a cupboard so doesn’t matter what it looks like just that when it’s loud outside it’s defeating in the kitchen Any suggestion please
