I just added Beam Gen 2 and gen 3 Sub to my basement mancave. Looking to add just a little more complete sound....any recommendations 

I’ve acquired a Sonos ARC and Sub, but since I don’t have a iOS device, I was waiting for a acquaintance with an iPhone Xs to come by to help me calibrate it using TRUEPLAY. After installing the Sonos app (not Sonos S1 … by the way its very confusing reading Sonos website refering to Sonos S2 when it is not call that), going to Settings > System, and selecting my only configured room/device there is no “Trueplay” related option in any section. Can someone explain how to get it to appear?

Hello,First of all I apologize if this question has been asked before. I tried to search for the solution but was unable to find the answer.I have two Sonos systems at home:In the Pantry: Beam Gen 2 + Sub Gen 3, connected to a Toshiba TV in the Pantry In the Living Room: Arc + Sub Gen 3, also connected to a Sony TV in Living RoomThings are working fine for both systems. I also have no problem playing same source in both systems.The issue is when I have to select which TV to play/disconnect from any of the system. Since both are connected to a TV, the Sonos App shows the same “TV” as the input names. I keep selecting the wrong TV as the source I want to keep playing because I have no clue which to select.Screenshot of what I’m trying to explain is attached.It would be perfect if I can rename the “TV” to “ TV-Pantry” and “TV-Living Room”.Is that possible?Thanks,Danny

Hii have some old studio monitor and was wandering if sonos have wifi receiver with xlr and/or rca output so i can link my speaker with my sonos system

In iOS14 Apple added a new feature to “Autoplay Similar Tracks” when a playlist or queue is finished.  Its supposed to continue to play similar music to what was on the playlist.  Similar to Create a Station that does work (but is fairly buried in Sonos and Apple), but instead it kicks in at the end of an existing playlist vs. creating an unending playlist from scratch like Create Station does from a selected song. See here https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208383 Apple show an infinity symbol on the player to control this feature. Its supposed to be somewhat better than create a station as it has the context of the entire preceeding playlist when picking a new song, vs. a single song.

I want to listen to what is playing on my laptop on my Sonos Play1 speaker and I can't.When I bought it the only thing they told me was that it worked over Wi-Fi with an application, but I can't find a way to do it. So far I have only used it to listen to Spotify.Can someone help me?

Hi, I just discovered today that other people on my wifi has been able to look through my playlists and music library’s without even needing to log into my account on the Sonos app- which I’m not too happy about. Is there anyway to fix this? I’m not sure why by default Sonos lets anyone access all the playlists from my music services 

I am giving my Sonos Era speakers (2) to my daughter.  How do I deactivate them from me being the owner  

I am looking to add some rear speakers to my setup.   I primarily watch TV and at times listen to music.I am trying to decide between the ERA 300 and the Five.    Any recommendations?   I have a Sonos ARC 

I have a playbar connected to sonos boost and play 1s with sub gen 2 in my living room and a play 3 in my bedroom, I just got a Samsung 77sc95 OLED tv and playbar is showing its age now, I'm wondering if the sub gen 3 is necessary or worth it? Or are they functionally same, Would I still have best quality sound from my sub ?  I also have a sonos boost I use I'd rather keep speakers on their own network and not clutter my home. I considered samsung q990c and I use the sub next to my tv wired to the playbar and got no connection issues, But is atmos and all surrounds etc same quality on sub gen 2 as it is on 3? 

I have a number of S1 speakers run from a ZP90 base. The ZP90 has now died and I also know that the ZP90 is now discontinued. I need to get a replacement but I’m not sure what the current best option is. Is there a current compatible replacement? I have no desire to upgrade my speakers etc. I just one my S1s to work again...   Thanks in advance.

Please help me with speaker positioning. I currently use Beam Gen 2 and Sub mini with my 43” Sony TV. My wife watches TV series and movies daily. I’m more in music, both streaming and vinyl records, from a vintage Thorens TT connected to basic Yamaha speakers. I would like to emphasise more the music reproduction and keep the HT functions. I added a plant of my room. First option:Should I go separating HT and music reproduction, still keeping in Sonos ecosystem, for example adding a pair of Era 100 or 300 connected to the turntable?In this setup, could the HT part be used to reproduce music at the same time (especially the sub mini)?Will this be beneficial giving the fact they will sits in the same room?Could the Eras be in use also when watching TV? Would it make sense? Would be an issue if the speakers will be placed close to the turntable, so both will be on the left side of the TV? Second option:Add a pair of Era 100 as surround, keeping the music reproduction only from streaming o

Hope you're all doing great! So, I've got this big art gallery, and I'm trying to figure out the best audio setup to echo the sound throughout the entire space. I want visitors to feel the vibe of the art, you know? Any recommendations on which Sonos hardware would work best for creating a sweet echo effect that complements the art installations? I'm a bit lost in the audio world, so any simple advice or tips from your experiences would be super appreciated. Thanks a bunch! Moderator Note: Modified in accordance with the Community Code of Conduct.

I have a rack in my laundry room with sonos amp, and it powers 3rd party speakers outside in my gazebo. When I try to connect the Sub to the system, it is pretty unstable, and even when connected - it plays no sound.However if I bring the Sub indoors closer to the laundry room, it works fine.The internet wifi is very strong all around the house and backyard, so it is not struggling for internet.I also have a range extender/router and internet run to the outside gazebo that powers my TV. When I try connecting the ethernet cable to the Sub - still no luck.How can this be? Is the system not supposed to be completely seamless on wifi? And I imagine plugging in the Ethernet as a  backup would work, but no luck!Help!

I’ve had my Sonos for some years now, it would appear that the BOOST is becoming unstable and is cutting off connection for seconds at a time.   I believe that I can remove BOOST from the system and connect one of the SONOS speakers direct to my Hub and then have all the Sonos products link to the wired device.   Is this a fairly simple process??

I am deciding whether to buy  Sonos Sub or Sonos Sub Mini.What are the differences please?  

Yes, I know Sub Gen4 won’t be out until 2025.  I just want to add my 2c that your Sub frequency range needs to go as low as 20Hz to accurately reproduce the audible frequency range of ~ 20Hz to 20KHz.  This is the only issue giving me pause about purchasing a Sub gen 3 (which only goes down to 25Hz); well, that and the static issue reported by many in other threads.  Also, the next Sub 4 needs to have a standard low-level in port, so I don’t have to add yet more subs taking up space just because I need sub-in ports.  Thank you for your consideration. 

i'd like to add a sonos zone to my dock - I have excellent wifi and 110 power, what sonos system , maybe two speakers would best

I’m on recent of software.I would group a bunch of speakers and play music.  Then, for no reason at all, it would not play on any except one of the speakers in the group.  I have to ungroup and re-add.  This started about two weeks go.  I do have a TV connected tho the Arc and maybe it is related to playing tv and stop playing passing audio back to the music app.  Anyone else with this issue?     ---------------------------------Era 100: BedroomSerial Number: XXSonos OS: S2Version: 15.11 (build 76247270)Hardware Version: 1.38.1.10-1.1Series ID: A100IP Address: XXWM: 1---------------------------------Era 100: Dining RoomSerial Number: XXSonos OS: S2Version: 15.11 (build 76247270)Hardware Version: 1.38.1.10-1.1Series ID: A100IP Address: XXWM: 1---------------------------------Era 100: Extra DinningSerial Number: XXSonos OS: S2Version: 15.11 (build 76247270)Hardware Version: 1.38.1.10-1.1Series ID: A100IP Address: XXWM: 1---------------------------------Sonos One SL: Great Room (LS)Serial

Quick question (I double posted this as I added to the original to the wrong forum, so now in Home Theatre). My wall/windows where the Sonos Era 300 speakers will be placed is at an angle (30 degree angle vs the 0 angle couch) so I would have the left rear channel closer to the corner of the couch and the right rear channel further away from the other corner of the couch. So essentially they would be the same height and length distance from the couch/listening spot but one rear speaker would be 3-4 feet behind the other one.Can true play tuning accommodate for this to create the proper surround sound bubble?Link to Floorplan 

I have a pair of Play 3 set up as a stereo pair. A few months ago they began to randomly loose connection and the app says it could not find one of them. Nothing has been changed or unplugged from the setup. I go through the reconnect steps on the app and they reconnect. It happens randomly. My son-in-law has a Play 1 and his has started to do the same thing over the past few months. This suggests to me it is a software issue. Can Sonos please sort this issue out! I bought the speakers believing Sonos was a top end speaker system. I currently don’t believe this to be the case. 

Hey guys, Current Sonos setup - Arc & Sub Mini. Thinking to get Era 100s by 11/27 (great deal going on) Do you think surrounds add a lot of value? I would have loved to buy Era 300 for Dolby atmos but I feel they are super overkill and having middle drivers disabled when in surrounds, not worth it. Oh yes, an average apartment/condo living room. Thank you Sonos gang!

HiTrying to work out where the issue lies, with my LG oled or the Sonos ARC. Those that have an LG OLED and Sonos ARC and use passthrough / eARC settings on the TV when you play any Dolby digital 5.1 content via a device like the ATV4K does your Sonos app report multichannel pcm 7.1 ? If you have your xbox audio set to uncompressed 5.1 does the sonos app report multichannel pcm 7.1? Those that don’t have an LG OLED does your sonos arc output as multichannel pcm 5.1 for the above configurations? I’m just trying to work out where this issue lies once and for all, so I can report it. Thanks
