Speakers

Should Sonos make a computer speaker with subwoofer sound like 5.1 

Simple system: We have two Sonos Ones in separate rooms/zones, but the app will only recognize one at a time, not both simultaneously. It used to, just trying to get it back. Same router for both, same Sonos profile and app. Any tips appreciated, thanks. Ferris.  

I currently building a pool house and I’m trying to decide if 2 exterior speakers will be sufficient or if I need 4. The area I’m trying to provide sound to is approximately 40’ long by about 44’ deep. The 40’ section is the length of the pool house where the speakers will be located.  Below is a layout of the setup.   

Hoping someone can help here. I have a Sonos system of 7 speaker (3 x OneSL/Play1, 1 x Five, 2 x Beam, 1 x Move) plus a Boost that I’ve put together over a  number of years. Never had any issues (apart from teething problems with the Move) - and the system has served us well. Now suddenly connection to the speakers is flaky, sometimes they show as disconnected, sometimes they are not even listed in the app. . I’m finding this very frustrating, as are my daughters cos Dad can’t seem to fix it! I,ve power cycled all speakers and even followed the steps in the app to fix the issues but still keeps happening! This has been ongoing for about a week now - no issues before that,Attached pictures show the various states of the system app in the space of around 10 minutes this evening 

I purchase a new Sonos One SL to add to an additional Sonos One SL. My existing One SL connects via Airplay just fine to all my Apple Devices. The new One SL will not connect to any of them. How can this be fixed?

Anyone know what I can do about cracking audio in a room just my Sonos One?

Bought second hand a Sub and did the factory reset, with the Ethernet cable I managed to finally get the Sub connected to my system but it will not function until I link it to my account. However no matter what I do I cannot get it to connect to my account. Why? What's the trick, what am I missing here?

I would love to know if anyone has their speakers stuck updating after the latest upgrade to 14.20. It’s been like this for a few days now and just frustrated, not knowing what to do.  

I have had my Sonos system for five years. Over that period it has gone from working properly 10% of the time I try to use it to now, about 75%. If I get another cannot find your system or reboot your router or move my speakers closer to my router message  l will scream. I have reinstalled at least 50 times . I fantasize about burning my speakers in a backyard fire and posting the video. Today is a perfect example. A nice quiet Sunday am and wanted to put on quiet classical piano with our coffee. We had the system playing holiday music yesterday, working fine.  Today, it cannot find my system/speakers.  I have a house with a very effective wireless router that reaches all corners of my home including my office in the furthest corner where I am on zoom calls via wireless all day long. My two speakers are, one, in the same room as my router and one in adjacent room. I am so done with this unreliable piece of ** *Moderator Note: Modified in accordance with the Community Code of Conduct.*

Hi everyone,I'd like some advice on how best to connect two Play 5 (gen1) as a stereo pair in our garden house.This garden house has an Access Point (connected to our router via WLAN in our main house) that allows WLAN connection and wifi connection.Do I need to connect both speakers via a WLAN cable or can one speaker function as a router for the other speaker? What should I then do with the wifi on each speaker? 

Hi.I have a pair of play 5 2nd gen speakers and I seem to notice one speaker sounds more vocal than the other.The other sounds duller less treble.Im on Amazon music with ultra hd.Done all the trueplay etc.Is it normal? Atmos or something.Thanks

New issue with the Sonos system today which is confusing me. Initially the system didn’t show in the app, so switched off the boost and disconnected from router. Switched back on and reconnected. The system then showed in app, set to play music from Apple Music. Music played on roam but not on my one even though it said it was playing in app. Went through the usual routine of switching off and on the effected “One”. Started playing - great but then tried to widen the group and each time same thing, showed in app as playing but no audio, switched off and on and unit starting playing. Played for a while and then dropped out - same issue system is boost, beam, 4 ones and a roam all running on S2 app latest version with 14.2 firmware on all units.  any ideas?? Bug in firmware??  as system played perfectly up until today.. 

One of my Sonos One speakers came unplugged and when I plugged it back in it no longer is paired. What do I do to get it paired with the other speaker again?

Hello,I am operating a Sonos S1 system with 10 speakers in 8 rooms. The music plays in party mode (i.e., all rooms connected). Everything works fine. I now added a turntable through the line-in of a Play5 (gen 1). Mostly, this works fine. However, often the sync between the rooms breaks down and the music only play on the two speakers and a bass booster that are connected to one pair in the room, in which the turntable is connected to one of the speaker. After a while, the other rooms pick up the music signal, but then loose it again.I wonder whether it is too much bandwidth for the Play5 to simultaneously SEND a signal from the turntable to the system and to RECEIVE a signal from the system. Would the set-up be more stable if I were to purchase a Sonos Port and feed the turntable signal into the system with it (obviously, I would prefer not having to do that, as it involves extra cost)? Is there a way to stabilize my system so that playing music coming from a turntable in multi-room m

Within Sonos 2 application, one can create groups of speakers or groups of rooms playing the same music, and give them a name. But once created, you cannot “modify” them. All you can do is create new groups with the + button, but why can’t we modify them, once created ? Thanks for assistance.

Hi. I am using a pair of KEF Ci160qr Ceiling Speaker on the Sonos Amp. At low volume the sound is good enough. But the sound gets highly distorted at high volume. I have just used the default settings on the Sonos Amp. Can anyone let me know, what the best settings for this combination. Thanks in advance.

Brand new Philips Oled Tv . Hdmi arc and earc ports . 4k . UHD . Smart . Etc etc . Bought the Arc sound bar . great bit of kit for music and audio . Plays fantastic with Netflicks , prime , apps , when played from the Philips Tv . Digital and Dolby Atmos plays superbly and great  movie experience. However when played through Sky Q box 2Tb , there is audio sync issues . Tried all options on Sky … no joy . so have had Sonos support technicians the last 2 nights . Tried everything . Unplugs , resets , ultra fast hdmi cables , adjusting sync delay in settings on Sonos app  . Discovered that it can’t be resolved . Sky blame Sonos . Sonos lay the problem at Skys door. . Truth of the matter is that both the Sky Q box and the Sonos Arc work perfectly well …. Just not when they are connected together . I’m going to return my Arc as can’t deal with the sync delay and  I use Sky for all my  Tv channels . Will hang on a week or 2 in case any of you kind people on here can help as Sonos cannot . Ch

I am looking to get an outdoor projector and be able to get the sound through a Sonos five. What is the best way to do this? I do know the fives are not waterproof. If anyone can also recommend a good brand/model of projector that works well. So many options. Thanks

I have moved house and lost the mounting bolts that go into rear of the play 1's, can somebody point me in right direction for a replacement. Thankyou

So I’m having a weird issue : my Sonos Play:5 won’t play music from line-in. That being said, if I group it with another room, the other speaker can play the music from the line-in (but still not the Play:5).  Sound is high, and not on mute. I rebooted the device. This is a new problem.  I’m starting to think it’s an hardware failure. Anyone got an idea of what I should try to fix this?

Sonos speakers blaring in the middle of the night over the Weekend. Spotify is disconnected. Is there any other way that people could connect to the system and play really loud music? Or are the speakers turning up themselves? Thanks!

My play 3 keeps dropping out. It is near my router but drops out constantly. It does not disappear from the controller 

I spent 2 x 2 hours with the hotline keeping on reseting and reinstalling.After struggling on my own given the poor skills fo the hotline staff, i dicovered that it was a 2 clicks solution:-go on your Orange “My Livebox”app,-go on you Wifi set up where you have the mapping of all your connected devices-and finally “authorize” the Sonos device which was blocked A baby fix that Sonos people are not able to identify...sad!

I have two Sonos One SLs in the back at equal distance and a Sonos Arc at the front connected via wifii and eHDMI. I bought the rear speakers last week. I’m watching a soccer game and the sound in the rear speakers literally sounds like waves. The sound of the crowd comes in and out over the voice of the commentators so noticeably it’s making me nauseous. I had to turn them off. I had a Samsung 5.1.2 surround system and it did not do this.It doesn’t happen only with games. It happens with shows and movies as well. The sound in certain scenes comes in and out in waves and I believe it’s when somebody is talking. Is this a bug? A malfunction? This is terrible quality so far.This is a video that I posted on Reddit and you can clearly hear it.  

My system is controlled with the Fire Cube. I just purchased the Gen2 / Sub Mini. When the system is turned on does the sub automatically turn on and connect also?
