Talk Sonos Products

Hello ! I want to buy Sonos products for my new home that haven’t started yet to be built. I try to anticipate.Please check the image of my plan aht the bottom. For the Home Cinema i will have an “Arc ultra”. I can’t put in ceiling or in wall speakers for the surround, so i’ll have to go for ERA 100/300, so i don’t need to choose right now. And i might never put surrounds. I will go for the SUB MINI. For the dining table area, it will be with a MOVE 2 that i can also carry in the bathroom and outside. Dining table area is not a place where we will listen to music a lot . For the rare occasion of party, i guess the arc ultra + move 2 + in ceiling speakers of the kitchen, it will do the job.And i dont want to add a Sonos amp to have this area by itself. Because i will only want to play music in the kitchen for most of the time. My question is for the kitchen :The wall at the bottom is around 4,5meters (14,7 foots) and on the right is a big bay window  of 4 meters and total is 5,5 meters

Hi everyone,I’ve been experimenting with setting up multi-room audio on my Sonos system, but I’ve noticed that sometimes playback between rooms goes out of sync by a few seconds. I’ve tried restarting devices, checking the network, and updating the app, but the issue persists.Has anyone experienced this before? Are there recommended network settings, firmware tweaks, or other adjustments that reliably keep multi-room playback perfectly in sync?Any tips or insights would be greatly appreciated.Regards,Dave Moderator Note: Removed hyperlink.

 Hi AllCan anyone help with this though its not strictly related to Sonos issues?I have an old Buffalo Linkstation Duo that registered a disc failure so I replaced the disc and the other one failed. So I replaced that one and within a few days it registered a failure on the first brand new one!Im assuming that is a power issue or a fault with the chassis rather than the discs as they are brand new.So my question is if I kept the discs (assuming they are fine which they should be as they are brand new) and just switched them into a replacement chassis - an identical one ie a Buffallo Linkstation Duo - is it as simple as that?Would my PC and everything simply pick up the NAS drive as usual? Or is it more complex than that?Any help much appreciated.

New to Sonos:Arc Ultra sound, sub & Era 300: how to (regularly) change individual volumes of Era300 without disturbing overall surround sound (i.e. I want to bring up the volume of Era300 at times, but keep it in the overall surround system)?

System is saying I need to reboot built in speakers and saying no Internet connection.  Sonos roam is working.    how do I reboot my built in speakers? 

No release notes but an update. Can’t see any changes. Now on Build 92.0-73070 on ALL devices. So assume it was just a consolidation of the last update to bring all speakers in line as the Arc and ERAs were on advanced versions. 

Help please. Sony Bravia 7 + arc + Panasonic UB820 4K. Could someone please let me know what the correct Dolby Atmos settings are for these 3 units.I have the correct Hdni cables.Your help would much appreciated. All the best.Greg. $

Would it be okay to mount the Arc above a 98 inch TV I just purchased?  It will be sitting on the floor with the provided legs which I believe have about 3.5 inches of clearance below the TV.  The only option I see it to mount it above.  I keep reading don't but it's always a TV that's wall mounted and would be much higher than my situation.

Hi everyoneI would like to delete some radio stations, but I can't find any answers on this topic in the community.Thanks 

Have seen numerous comments on setting up a record player but need to add a receiver to the mix for signal boost. I have Kenwood KD-3070 turntable with RCA jacks and a Onkyo TX-SV444 receiver with many input/output ports. See pictures. I am guessing I connect the turntable to receiver (RCA) then receiver to ? to connect to my SONOS 100 speakers. Looking for guidance please with clear non-audiophile description. what connects to what description. I would assume that the connection from the new SONOS device would connect to SONOS speakers via WiFi? Thank You very much for input.

I have seen a lot questions and comments related to the delay that comes with connecting a DJ controller to your sonos system through a sonos port. The delay may is noticeable and is def not ideal at all for professionals in this space. However, if you just want to have fun at home and throw small house parties, it works absolutely great in my opinion. The output from the speakers might have minor delay but you can always use your headphones to mix or have a small monitor speaker directly connected to your decks to help with mixing. Plus, the aesthetics of the apartment also look great without large bulky wired speakers awkwardly positioned around the decks. I have noticed that when more people are in the apartment and connected to the wifi, it can cause sound to drop off and here and there but I just set up a wifi mesh network to tighten up the wifi which I am hoping helps resolve this issue. Will provide an update to anyone interested. My setup: A pioneer XDJ RX2 is connected to a so

Hello, I was wondering if it’s possible to play sound through the Sonos Arc and the Sonos Ace at the same time. My friend likes louder sound so he’d like to listen using the headphones while I would listen using the soundbar.

I recently Bought a used Sonos playbar on Facebook marketplace and am unable to connect to my PC. I bought optical to HDMI converter and the app doesn't seem to recognize it. I checked the cable and tried others ones regarding the optical and HDMI. I also provided the converter link I’m currently using down below. I also want to note that there is no light coming out of the optical when plugged into the play bar. It seems to be normal because I was able to get my hands a on another playbar and it did the same thing. So now I have no idea what the problem could be and would really appreciated some help on this. Also my PC doesn't have optical cable hence I'm using a converter.https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DQD1592R?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

Hi allthe situation with the volume of Arc Ultra when streaming music is getting a bit ridiculous. At a volume of 20 I can barely hear any music. I also have a Sonos Amp, connected to 2 small speakers (Dali Oberon 1), and at 20 the volume there is quite nice, at 40 they blow up the room I’m in. At 40 the Arc Ultra is just getting started.Of course this is streaming specific -- when playing from a TV source, a volume of 20 on the Arc Ultra is more than adequate for my needs. The difference of volume when streaming to the Ultra vs. playing spotify through the TV (either with my TV app, or with AppleTV) is remarkable.I keep hearing that this is partly due to normalization -- but this doesn’t make sense. If Sonos implemented some logic to lower the volume due to normalization, surely such logic would be applied to the Sonos Amp as well.So, unless the “normalization” logic is specific to Arc Ultra, I think this is not a “feature”, but a bug -- and quite an annoying one at that, given other

How does one turn off this stupid prompt for good? 

I was playing with my living room group which includes an Arc, sub 3 and in ceiling surrounds powered by the Sonos amp. My intention was to get a line in through the amp from my turntable (Crosley). After some research I discovered Sonos hides the line in on the amp when it’s connected as surrounds to the system. So I disconnect the surrounds from the system and used the line in on the amp. To my surprise, the line in started playing from the Arc and sub 3!  This is essentially the outcome I wanted, just with the surrounds in the mix as well and not having to screw with the groups every time I want to do this. But I was not expecting the line in to play from the Arc at all given it was a line in to the amp which connects to the in ceiling surrounds. So I guess my question is why is Sonos not allowing Line in with the surrounds connected, since it’s obviously possible. I just want to be able to use my turntable with the system without having to screw with the groups to do it. Are they g

I’m betting this has been asked before but I didn’t know the right phrase to use in the search to find it so I thought I would ask and hopefully this is an easy problem.I’m working on finishing a room and I want to put in-ceiling speakers in it so I can listen to music through services like Spotify.  I think the Sonos Amp is the right product to work with this but the part I can’t figure out is how to integrate Alexa to control the music.I don’t need anything fancy. Just the ability to be in the room and say, “Alexa, play X on Spotify” and the music would come through the speakers in the ceiling.  How could I do that without spending a fortune?  I was going to get a pair of regular in-celing speakers with a Sonos amp hidden in a cabinet to play the music but I can’t figure out the Alexa part without having something like a echo plugged in and out visible.  I’m wanting it to be as simple and as invisible as I can make it.  I thought I was see what some options might be that I’m not thin

First time using a soundbar. Is it normal to have some delay on lip sync?

Hello! I already have an Arc and I want to improve the sound in my room. My TV room is really small (13 m²) and asymmetrical;  the TV stands in a corner (I tried to recreate the shape of the room, LOL). Do you think adding a Sub Mini would be effective, or should I upgrade to an Arc Ultra? Thanks in advance! 

Hi, For about a 6-9 month now my sonos arc has been acting up. The sound suddenly disapear and I have to reset the entire county power grid to get it back. I have tried wired connection to my router and static IP. Also while playing from spotify there is a lottery if the music ever comes on. Imagine when you have some company over and is supposed to set the mood and you start fidgeting with “how the f*** do I get the music on this junk”.You cant cast music to the arc/”room” if the tv is not on. Really unstable system. I cant really recommend this to anyone.Nothing ever work on this piece of junk.  Anyone with the same problems?Sonos Arc, Sub Gen3 and Sonos one SL Moderator Note: Modified in accordance with the Community Code of Conduct.

Evening all. My father in law has an existing set up in his house on a Vodafone WiFi. It has a playbar and a play 3. All working harmoniously.  He now has a play 1 in his workshop and garage a ways down the property. The house WiFi does not stretch to these outbuildings. He has run a cat cable from the router down to the garage underground into the workshop. And it is connected to a new WiFi extender type thing that emits its own WiFi signal.  The aim, is to have a separate system from this house WiFi on this "new" WiFi signal. My belief is that if he resets the Sonos app, and then creates a new system, he can add his play 1 on this new WiFi network and operate it as a separate system. Ans then switch between the 2 systems once all set up . Is this a good line of thought ?  Attached picture of the device at the other end of his cat 5.  In that photo he has another lead plugged into the play1. Is it better to hard patch or set up wirelessly.Cheers all   

A number of years ago, I set up a 3-speaker system in my living room of Play 1s. This xmas, I treated myself to a new speaker, this time an Era 100. I just opened the box (it’s been busy here) to learn that I can’t pair the Era with the Play speakers. The existing speakers are set up as one L-R pair of Plays and I wanted to pair the new Era 100 with an old Play to make another L-R pair. I probably should have read more carefully before ordering because it says you can only pair like speakers. Since I didn’t know that, I was thinking to return the Era but maybe there’s a way to connect them that I haven’t thought of. I’d appreciate any suggestions you may have. Thanks. 

The arrangement I have for my 83” wall mounted TV will allow me to either wall mount the Arc Ultra at the suggested 4” below the bottom of the TV or, I can simply place it on top of the console which would be about 7” below the bottom of the TV.  Ascetics, cost, and effort aside, is one preferred over the other for best sound?  In case it matters, the front surface of the TV is about 2.5” forward of the wall.

Hey guys. I'm renovating my apartment and switching to Sonos.I have a pretty large living room / media space and i wanna make sure i get the speaker placement right. We use it for movies and for hosting. It is an integrated space, which makes things harder.I wanna balance the surround movie experience with the music experience in the other spaces.Which of the following options do you guys think would be better? A:  B: If I do go with the AMP's route, would I be loosing out on Doby Atmos or any other features? Thanks for the help in advance.
