I would very much like to see an enhancement added to the controller app, especially for the desktop.There are at least two functions I would like to see the elimination of the pop up confirmation: Update Music Library Now, and, Clear Queue. There could be others but they don’t spring to mind at the moment.My suggestion is to add a setting that would be referenced when the two functions mentioned above are used. I would describe it as an expert setting. When set to expert mode, those annoying pop up confirmations would not be presented. The end result would be a 1 button click experience where either the music library would be re-indexed or the list of items in the queue would be cleared.My thought would be to add another high level item in the Settings list after Additional Usage Data. Call it Expert Settings. When selected, the right side would present controls like those of EQ: a label “Expert Setting for:” then a drop down with a list containing “Library Update” and “Now Playing Qu
I have a LG nanocell tv which will not connect to my soundbar with the optic cable. I have reset the speaker
I can’t figure out the simple task of waking up to my whole home sonos audio system. It seems like if anyone watches TV or any device ungroups, which obviously both happen daily in normal use, I can’t get an alarm from all speakers. Also, I obviously need to set different speakers to different volumes for an alarm. Simple stuff, what am I not seeing?
Hi all,I’ve been dealing with this issue for about a year and just now got annoyed enough to post about it. I currently have an Audio Technica turntable plugged into a Play 5 via stereo audio cable through line in on the Play 5. I then sync all my other Sonos speakers to the Play 5 and play records through the line-in input. It works great. However, every time I switch records or the record player idles for a while, I have to manually reconnect all the other Sonos speakers in my system EXCEPT for the Play 5 to the line-in. How do I set the system so that the other speakers don’t drop the line-in, and I have to manually reconnect my other speakers through the app every single time I switch a record? Thanks.
Hey Guys- I am looking for an outdoor Alexa enabled speaker. The kicker is I need it to stay outside and be plugged in outside. Any thoughts on how to pull this off. Both the Roam and the Move seem to have indoor charging only. Thoughts?
When playing DTS audio from my OPPO 203 BluRay , I get multi PCM 7.1 but then the vocal sound is outputted at the rear speakers. It wasn't like that prior to the recent update. Anyone can help ?
Mi scuso per la domanda forse banale, ma i miei speaker “sonos one” sono esposti su rete local come sono media server e ne posso vedere il contenuto di alcune cartelle “attributes” “music. share” “saved queues” “queues” “internet radio” “favorites and presets”Che senso ha avere questa disponibilità?Se colocassi su quest directory della musica che utilità avrebbe? sarebbe ascolatibile in locale senza connessione internet? e come? Perdonate ma non ho capito l’uilità della funzione. me la sapreste spiegare?Grazie
Hi all!I own a Playbar, two Play 3’s and Sub Gen 2. Logging onto my Sonos account it says eligible products are Playbar and Play 3’s. My question is, can I select the Playbar, using the discount upgrade to an Arc and STILL keep the Playbar, i.e. sell it to a collegue of mine.Anybody with experience in trade up, your help would really mean a lot.Neven
Hi all,After selling my HT AVR, dolby atmos speakers, sub, cables etc i bougt a Sonos Arc and 2 One SL’s for surround. Also Sonos Sub is on the way. The TV and movies are okey with this set up, also i think that after my Sonos Sub arrives it will be better then my old HT system, besides physical heights but not a problem. Actually i liked the sound of Arc with OneSL’s when listening music. Only Arc is rubbish for music but with One SL’s it sounds good. The details are nice without sub and i know that after Sub every thing will change about mids, bass and details.But i still have a pair of Dynaudio Special 40’s on sale and honestly i am missing them. And thinking not to sale them, buy a Sonos Amp and drive the SP40’s with the Amp as a stereo set up. Also i could connect my turntable. As most of you know, Dynaudios loves continuous power. SP40’s are 6ohms and handle up to 200w. Sonos Amp gives 187.5w per channel at 6ohms. My main thought is, how will Amp perform with SP40’s? The sound
I just wanted to give SONOS some props for the continual evolution of its HD Radio service. From adding monthly (sometimes twice a month) updates with themed stations, new stations, special event stations, curated stations and even just tweaking and adding stations that fill gaps between different stations, I am getting more and more out of your offering every month. So thank you, keep up the great work and I look forward to what’s next each month and what more you can do with the service. Now you just need to offer a reduced annual rate instead of just monthly and the ability to listen to it via Bluetooth on our Move and Roam speakers. Thank you!
Yes it can, all Sonos speakers can be paired, the staff at Sonos are clueless contract paid idiots. You can pair any Sonos speaker in the app. Lots of misinformation online about it. I have $15k worth of Sonos speakers and they all pair.
I have a pair of Play:1 and Five with a turntable connected to Five's line-In. It plays perfectly on Five but when I group Five with one (or both) of Play:1 it continues playing only on Five although that mini-equaliser shows that it's playing everywhere. What's wrong?
Odd issue occurring in the past couple of weeks or so. I play something on a speaker with my iPad, for example in my kitchen. Then want to continue listening in a different room, for example “bedroom” so select the new room and deselect “kitchen” and press done. Playing begins in the other room, but continues to play in the kitchen despite the fact that it is not now a selected room. Pressing stop in playback has no effect on the kitchen speaker neither does exiting the app altogether, playback just continues in my example, my kitchen. The only way I can stop it is to mute this speaker and continue playback in the bedroom. Unmute the kitchen speaker and it’s still playing there despite not being a selected speaker!I have only used the two rooms as examples of what happened this morning. Over the past couple of weeks it’s happening with other rooms as well.Anyone any advice as it’s really annoying?Thanks.
Dear Community,I’ve to admit that I’m now struggling deeply about a decision to take, and I hope your advices will help me to go forward.I’m trying for years to combine a good HT sound system with a beamer, and simultaneously have a good Hifi system. The reality is that it is very difficult to mix 2 types of systems together:- a good « classical Hifi system (preamp/streaming, amp, 2 LR speakers, cabled)- A HT sound system with surround, etc- A beamer, and not a TV.It seems obvious to use a AV amp for the HT system and beamer, but it has to be connected to the Hifi system to use the speakers, and it doesn’t offer the surround sound, without cabling rear speakers, which isn’t a solution in my context.BUT… if you take profit of the very good quality of the hifi system, you need to manage the volume separately, and to have decent HT system, you need to provide a center speaker. Not counting the remotes for the amp, the preamp, the AV amp, the TV and ATV, the BD player, etc. A nightmare, at
Getting frustrated already with my new purchase Sonos home theatre package. The centre channels are a nightmare to get right with no volume control for the speakers on the sounbar. Will this ever be fixed?
Hi allIm having trouble getting my Sonos ARC to learn the IR signal from Benq projector remote for volume control. It will learn it when the projector is switched off and can be used to control music etc but as soon as the projector is switched on the signal appears to be blocked by the remote as small block sign appears on screen. Ive tried everything but no luck. It would be great if I could control the ARC volume with the projector remote when I am playing movies/TV etc. It is connected via HDMI eARC an CEC is switched on. Any ideas?
Does anyone know how to connect the Samsung One Remote control to the Sonos Playbar so that I can control the volume of the playbar? I tried various ways but can’t get it to work.... I read the the playbar has IR whereas the Samsung remote control has RF but nevertheless there seems to be a way to make them connect. Hope someone can share the ultimate solution for this issue with me!!
Hi all,I’m about to become a new Sonos user and looking for some advice on how best to integrate a pair of wired passive speakers (Dynaudio Evoke 20s) into the Sonos system.My choice seems to come down to either (1) buying the Sonos Amp; or (2) buying the Sonos Port plus a new Hi Fi amp.The store that is helping me is suggesting option 2 on the basis that it will produce better sound. The amp they have recommended is the Rega Elex-R, with the comment that the speakers will sound better “with the extra power”.From what I can tell (and I am new at this), the Sonos Amp looks to have plenty of power.So my real question is: is there any benefit spending more money on Option 2 … whether in terms of sound quality or (perhaps) functionality?I don’t mind spending the extra money if it will produce a better result, but also don’t want to be dumb.This is for the main music listening area in a new house (no TV required) and it will be primarily streaming services (Spotify or Tidal), although I ma
I recently bought the 4K Apple TV and the remote volume function is not working, it says ‘not available’ every time I use it no matter what application I’m in. All the other buttons seem to function correctly. What could be wrong?
I have 5 x Play 2 (Generation 1).The S1 now longer allows connection to my Synology NAS.What do I do with them? Or is there a way round the problem?
Hi guys,I'm Adam, new to the forum and wanted to say HELLO 🙋I'm interested in the Sonos Move and would be interested to know how frequently the discount codes come round and at what rate of discount?Thanks
Can we please get some View options? This player is anything but a “mini player.” I don’t need or want to see all those options, or all that blank area there. It is super frustrating that I can’t make that window smaller. I would like it to minimise into something that showed only What’s Playing, Play/Pause/ FF, & RW. Anyone else? Thanks!

Do ROAM speakers have a tracking feature? Mine was stolen off my golf cart while inside the clubhouse. Surely if someone tries to activate it in their system, it should be known to SONOS based on the serial #? Any ideas? (Excuse typo in subject)
What do the 13.1.1, 13.1.2 and 13.1.3 Sonos S2 App updates include? I am asking because Sonos does not clarify these updates. Thanks in advance for any answers
