I am using Sonos One on a Mac. I make playlists using using Spotify, not Apple. There are two symbols on the Sonos playlist page. One is obviously shuffle; I think the other is repeat. I do not want to do either of these things. I just spent over three hours making a 54-song playlist, and I want it played in order, NOT shuffled.I chose “play, even though it was grayed out (because there was no other choice) instead of the shuffle symbol above my playlist. But when the playlist went into the left-hand column to play, it automatically rearranged all 54 songs. This happens to ALL of my playlists; I have no control over it. But this one I wanted in order. Now it’s all jumbled up.
I am new to forum. The basics about my system- I have two 100’s and two 1’s in room. All my music is in the format of mp3s on Amazon Music. First, I’ve followed manual to the letter about setup, and am wondering if there is anything about “four in one” that might be helpful. Second, and most importantly, I’m getting noticeable distortion when listening to some classical tracks- but only orchestral music and not solo piano or jazz and rock. I’ve had a friend listen and she hears it also, so it’s not just me. I’m wondering if the distortion has anything to do a frequency problem, given that orchestral (strings, basically) sounds probably differ from others that aren’t affected. Thanks for any suggestions.

Beam Gen 2 with LG C1 and Firestick 4k Max. Firestick is plugged into TV and the Beam Gen 2 is connected to the TV eArc port. Everything set to passthrough. I think all is set up correctly as some streams are fine. The problem I have is the Beam (according to the App) is detecting some streams as DD+ even though I’m pretty sure they are Atmos. Any suggestions?
User Story: As a music listener, I want to the option to set group volume with a single tap when selecting a group, so I can quickly and easily configure the soundscape according to my preferences, before the music starts playing.This might be solved via “group profiles” — presets that save the individual volume levels for all speakers in a group. These profiles would enable the listener to save relative volume levels according to their preferences for each speaker in the group. For example, Roam speakers generally require higher level settings than other speakers to achieve the same overall decibel level. The perceived volume for a given speaker is also affected by room placement and other factors.In addition to the convenience of setting relative volumes that are appropriate for each speaker, the listener can also use group profiles to quickly set the overall volume level before the music starts. For example, a profile for background music might be rather quiet, while a profile for a

Obviously my SACD player, TT and Network player all connect into the ampWhat output do I use to the Sonos Port? TIA Steve By the way I took some advice from this site about adding rear speakers to my Arc and I picked up a pair of Play 3’s on stands for £150. Wow do they make a difference to the sound. Sub next
I have 2 Play 5 (Gen: 2) in stereo with a sub gen 3 for lots of punch. But I figured out, that when I change the volume on my left speaker it doesn’t change on the sub, so if you put it on 10% in the app then to 0 on the speaker, both of the speakers will go quiet but the sub still plays the song That doesn’t happen on the right speaker or the app Not a major annoyance for me, but interesting and something someone should look into
I am not new to home theater, but I am new to Sonos. We having a custom build started and I will be meeting with the low voltage supplier in a couple of weeks and I am trying to see what Sonos system would work for my needs. In the loft upstairs (22’x18’), we will have a TV on one wall and a sofa on the opposite wall. What Sonos system would work best for that room? We are also thinking about having a few other Sonos speakers around the house so I want to know what’s a good setup to have Airplay2 added in the system as well. Thanks in advance!
I have created two groups. Once I am playing some radio station in one group, how can I switch to the other group to 1) see (and change) the radio station 2) change the volume of this group?
I have two sonos roam and a sonos one. How do i connect them all so they will play music together
My beam randomly plays loudly at the same time every day
New to Sonos after buying the Arc. I read the instructions on speech enhancement, where it’s required to choose “Now Playing” when engaging in the app. But do you have to set speech enhancement on individual channels, or does the setting remain the default for all channels or streaming services after selecting it?
HIMesh Networks do work with Sonos as long as you choose components designed to work as a Mesh. Let me explain….The PRIMARY function of a Mesh network is to extend the coverage of your Wi-Fi across your home wherein a single router fails to do so. A Mesh network properly configured should consist of a Primary Router (Main Node) connected to your ISP modem. If the ISP modem is a combo router/modem then it should be set to Bridge mode.The device or devices used to extend the network are called Satellites (Secondary Nodes). The nodes used to extend the network should be of the same brand/model designed to work as such for the best performance. The secondary nodes can be full blown routers themselves; but when used as secondary nodes cease to function in the same manner as the Main node. Devices of a different brand/model can be used as secondary nodes as long as they are certified for compatibility to be used as such with the brand of your Primary router/Main node. Think oranges and tange
I bought an MP3 player for my music when I am on the road. Can I download my playlists to my home computer so that I can play them on my HIFI Walker 2?
I have two ERA 300’s set up in my large basement. I was thinking of getting a sub mini wireless subwoofer as they are on sale but want to make sure it will improve the sound.
Hello,I currently have 2 era 100 in my living room (30m²). I want to expand this setting. I wonder whether it would be better to opt for 2 extra era 100 or adjust 1 sub mini. I only use them for music. Tim
I have an old URC System and a house with wired speakers in different rooms. I want to bypass the URC System and just use Sonos and attach the wired speakers in different rooms multiple zones and be able to control and listen to different music at the same time in those rooms. What sonos products do I need
How do I play music stored on my iPhone on my Sonos Connect:AMP?
I have a 13 month old Beam that stopped working today. It won’t power on. I’ve tried the hard reset. Any advise.
I have a turntable and preamp connected direct to Era 300 (in the living room). If I added a second Era 300 in a completely separate room (the dining room), would I be able to stream directly to only the speaker in the dining room or would any playback have to come form both speakers?
I have a Sonos system, Era300 and Era100 speakers, and I have a Sony LX310BT vinyl turntable.Everything was working perfectly for a few days: the vinyl player and the Sonos Era300 speaker are perfectly connected via Bluetooth with a steady blue light.However, for the past few days, no sound is coming out of the speaker when I try to connect it to either the Era300 or Era100.I tested my turntable on a Bluetooth Marshall speaker, and it works.I connected my phone via Bluetooth to the speakers using Apple Music, and there is sound.I've tried to troubleshoot the issue from every angle, but I can't find a solution. I don't know why, overnight, no sound is coming out.I have done the lastest update. Problem remains…Has there been a Sonos firmware update? thx!
I will be travelling later in the year and my baggage allowance is limited. I do not want to take my Roam with me if I am going to have problems connecting it to the WiFi router of the Starlink connection that I will have in the caravan.I note that in previous topics people have been referred to the Sonos System Requirements - Unsupported Networks section.This mentions that “Wireless internet connections such as satellite...” are unsupported. Does that include a situation such as the one I will have?I will not want to just send music from my iPhone to it, rather I want to play the radio stations I have as favourites in the Sonos S2 App.
I have currently use a ZP90 Zone Player (13 years old) and Sonos Beam (Gen1) and Sonos 1 Speakers - plus other speakers around the house in ceilings.I cannot upgrade my Sonos S1 App to S2 - Until I buy a replacement for the ZP90.What do I replace it with? ---- Once I upgrade - What benefits do I get from (a) Upgrading - and (b) the new Sonos S2 App ? Thanks CMM
Sonos drops speaker then requires router reboot!
