Sonos Ace need longer 3.5mm cable

I just got a Sonos Ace and I’m trying to use it with my DAC but the supplied 3.5mm cable is too short. Any of you find a third party usb-c to 3.5mm cable that works with the Ace? Or even a usb-c to 3.5mm dongle/adapter that work with the Ace? I’ve tried two different third party usb-c to 3.5mm cables and doesn’t seem to work. Thank you

Why Ask If A Sonos Era Series Speaker Will Out-Perform A Play1 or Sonos One/SL?

HelloThis is written not to discourage you from asking questions regarding Sonos speakers of any type. To the contrary it’s written to encourage you think about your question; then ask yourself if it’s one that will get an unbiased answer versus subjective opinions. Let’s begin...Since the release of the Sonos Era 300 and Era 100 series the question is asked “are they worth an upgrade from A Play:1, Sonos One/SL series and/or a Play:3 (*)”. You might notice that I sequenced the first three in a row and left the Play:3 last. I did that purposely by design.The transition from the Play:1 to the One series was mostly cosmetic along with the introduction of the soft touch controls. Sound characteristics did not change to a degree that would warrant an upgrade. Most would need the ears of a canine to perceive a noticeable difference. 😊 Expansion of the internal memory in the Sonos One/SL (Gen2) for future software enhancements was the driver to seriously consider upgrading. Fast forward to

How to best travel with MOVE 2 on a flight?

Need to do an international travel with 1 stop.  What are the recommendations for Move 2?  Should I take it in my Carry-on or check it in?  Is it allowed in a checked baggage?  And if I do carry with me, any issues with scanners in the US and also during the change of plane?  It’s also fairly heavy (7 pounds) so making sure I do the right thing

Remodelling TV area: Arc vs In-Wall vs Floorstander

Hello,Obviously a subjective decision but I am remodelling a TV area…Current have a Sonos Amp driving two “old but gold” floorstanders (AE Aegis Evo 3, about 20 years old) in a large open plan room in front of TV. Have two One rears paired for a 4.0 setup. Sofa in the middle in a reference “square” setup if that makes sense. Surround is limited but decent for me given my usage.Sound quality is good but floorstanders have slightly different character vs the other Truplay’d Sonos speakers in the larger open room as these are not signature matched. I know it’s there but not enough to annoy me. I care most about music. Area itself is for TV but my listening is about 80/20 Music/TV.Atmos etc would be nice for the TV but not at the expense of music which is why I have kept the floorstanders so long.Weighing up options for re-modelling the area (moving to LG G2 77” wall mounted TV, yes I have money to burn), so soliciting the opinions of the learned community here please on the 3 main audio o

Connecting Play:1 to new wifi

Hi all. I have a Sonos Play: 1 system at my house. I recently purchased a new router (a Netgear Nighthawk C7000), and I am having trouble getting my Sonos to connect. I follow all the steps on the Sonos app, and at the end I get an error message saying there was a problem trying to connect. No other information is given. Does anyone know how to solve this issue?

Sonos Start Volume =25?

Hello everybody,when I launch the app, select my speakers (2 Play5 Gen1 Stereo) and choose my TuneIn radio station and put volume to e.g. 5 as soon the music starts the volume goes up automatically to 25! Independent of last volume when turning off (at any other speaker of my system). When adding additional speakers it seams to refer to latest volume on that speaker.I read that there is no default volume in any settings. So how can I fix this anointing way to loud start up volume?Thanks from Munich 🤗

Using a pair of Sonos Era 100

I ordered a pair of Sonos ERA 100 which I want to connect as stereo pair. I know using Sonos App, it can be paired to stereo. But I also want to use those pair with my MacBook and Sony Bravia 3. Is it possible to pair them with these devices using WIFI?To make it simple. Once I have paired both Sonos Era 100 using my iPhone App, will these speakers work as stereo when connected with MacBook and Sony Bravia 3 TV using WiFi?Moderator edit: Combined posts

using beam plus 2 era 100's plus sub mini for music and movie

Ok, so right now I have two era 100’s and a sub mini and love the way they sound for music.  Using them for movies is good too, but I’m considering adding a Beam (gen. 2) to add that extra goodness for watching movies.So the question is, once I have all 4 units (the sub mini, the beam, and the 2 era 100’s) configured together, is there a SIMPLE way to disable the beam when I just want to play music through Airplay (or the Sonos app)Alternatively, if temporarily disabling the Beam is not possible, is there a way, when I want to listen to music, to have both the beam and the era 100’s playing full stereo - meaning the era 100’s aren’t acting as ‘surrounds’ for playing music?Thanks for any info!

New SONOS App - Feedback

In the new 2024 Sonos App :Where are the alarms settings? Where is the Last.fm service?Where is the Android widget?This is a real nightmare. I hope Sonos will fix all that asap because what they did releasing this not finished app is scandalous.

Search Order Results

I would like to have the results from a search list items according to my preference.  I’ve been using Sonos for many years because I could prioritized by music library, not paid streaming services.Searching from the home screen has music library as the LAST group!?  Why Sonos?  I can rearrange the home screen to have my music library first, how do I have my music library results first in search results.I know I can go to the music library first then search, but why make this an extra step.  Why do you push streaming services first, because it is financially advantageous to you?  Unless I am missing a setting, I see no way to change the search order results. Please give us music lover back the control to set our own priorities.

ERA 100 (and Play 1) Minimum Volume too Loud

This is only a recent issue for me as I have switched from using a Port connected to an amp to an Era 100 in the bedroom.But minimum volume of 1% is too loud for nighttime use. I see it’s been an ongoing issue for years  And my Play 1s are the same but not really an issue as I don’t use them in the same way.Is this ever going to get fixed or is it just tough, that’s how it is? It’s my only gripe with my system but it’s quite a big issue and possibly the issue that makes me have to try something else. Cheers

Unable to AirPlay to Era 100/300 in separate VLANs

Hello,  I dont see any reason why the other Topic was closed. Refering to I will not accept the fact that this is just closed to say “Just put it in same VLAN”. This is far more like a F*** O*** statement towards your customers. The previous models, were pretty fine working, untill the ERA has been released. How hard is it to listen also to your customers who wants to secure their enviroment and put things in different VLANS?  If this is not being fixed in the coming months, our stores in the Netherlands (35+), will not be onboarded with SONOS setups. To be honest, I still want this to get to work, but if this will stay like this, there is no other choice to see other brands. This is not a threat or a warning, just the facts.  Hope that someone from SONOS reads this actually.

[Info] LFE originating from overhead is not transmitted to the woofers built into the Beam or Rear speakers.

I actually posted a post about this before. And from a conversation I had with Sonos support they say this is normal. Um... I thought this was a bug but they said this is normal.Of course, this can be considered normal in terms of marketing strategies. This is because it will encourage people to purchase separate subs. If LFE from surround sound and overhead channels is managed through a woofer built into the soundbar, it is good for consumers but not for sellers because it creates tremendous progress in the Bass experience.When Sonos Beam Gen 2 is used alone, the LFE signals generated from the surround and overhead channels are not processed by the woofer embedded in the beam. Only the LFE generated from the L,C,R channels is processed by the woofer embedded in the bar. Therefore, when LFE occurs on the surround and overhead channels, an empty can is heard rather than a grand bass.On the other hand, when the rear speakers are used together, such as Sonos Beam Gen 2 and Sonos Era 100,

Hi recently purchased the above, although the sound through the HDMI is very good and full, I have found the quality of sound is lacking when playing music through the Sonos app.In order or get a decent amount of sound, the vol needs to be at around 80 (my play 5 second gen) would not need this amount of vol.The sound is also very thin sounding with little midstageI have  spoken to tech support online, who are unable to find any issues, just tell me to fiddle about with the EQ and suggest I telephone their support.Anyone else come across this issue and if so what was the resolution?  thanks

sonos Arc and Port

Hi everyone,I have a setting problem of Arc and Port.  My Port is now connecting to my Hi Fi system for streaming music which works fine.  The problem is I cannot add Arc into the same Sonos app.  The App can’t find a new component while I try to adding into the existing system. The Arc is mainly for TV watching.  Anyone can advise if it is possible to put both devices into the app so that I can control through the app.  Many Thanks.

will my turntable be able to play on the surround system setup?

Hello, I’ll try to be as detailed as possible so here we go.  I currently have and Arc, Sub and 2x One SL’s in my living room. With the arc connected to the TV and the sub and 2 One SL’s linked to the Arc in the same ‘Sonos room’ (living room), this is my surround sound setup which I also use to stream spotify through. I also have a Sonos move which is separate but can link with my Arc and play the same audio and can be carried around the house and into the garden for example. My question is this, if I was to connect a turntable (with a built in pre amp) to the Sonos amp and then to passive third party speakers in a separate room (my upstairs office) would I also be able to play this audio (from the turntable) simultaneously on the rest of my Sonos system (surround sound and move) wirelessly through the SONOS app? Or is this not possible?  I hope that makes sense, and help is appreciated.

Apple TV remote no longer controlling volume on Sonos Playbar

I have an Apple TV 4k, a Vizio M55 and a Sonos Playbar. The TV is connected to the Playbar via optical cable. Apple TV is connected to the Vizio via HDMI. I used to be able to control the volume via my Apple TV of the Playbar. Now it doesn’t work and I feel lost. I had to reconnect the Sonos as a new system as ai changed the wifi. the app says apple tv remote should not be used during set up of the playbar.

A few fairly minor features still missing - are they coming?

Having recently finally upgraded my Android and desktops app to the latest releases, I feel that the ‘new’ S2 app is now nearly as functional as the ‘old’ S2 app. However, there are a few features that I valued before that don’t seem to be there. My question is, are any/all coming in future releases?The persistent notification I used to find really handy for quickly managing the sound and on/off, but now have to open the app, wait a few seconds and then get access to the relevant controls.  If I am streaming radio, my ‘station of choice’ is BBC Radio 3 via BBC Sounds. On the desktop app this shows an image, either of show or music playing, but this is not seen on the app.  Also when streaming BBC radio via BBC Sounds, clicking in the 3 dots (bottom right) there is an option to “Show in Sounds”. This used to open up the BBC Sounds app so that you could see more detail about the show currently playing (or look at schedules etc). At the moment clicking this simply returns you to the S2 di
