I’ve just recieved the latest syatem update on my Sonos Beam Gen 2 and Sub Mini. what does the update fix/improve please? Will it fix a problem Ive had with my TV switching back to TV speakers from the Beam and needing a power cycle to reconnect. 

Hello! I have a very good hifi audio system that I would like to make work with my Sonos speakers in other rooms. I want to be able to walk through my house and hear music seamlessly with no delays. With my Sonos speakers in different places, all works great. How do I incorporate my existing stereo system into my Sonos system? Port? Amp?

Brand new Sonos move and I can’t get it to work at all it’s getting very tiresome to use the Sonos system.  I have so many components of my system I am not prepared to lose by upgrading to sonos 2 appthis new speaker won’t downgrade and there for me - $659 I can’t use  

I'll be moving into a new condo. My current thought is that the 2nd bedroom will have my audiophile setup and I'll want a port for there. The living room will have a 50” ish tv and I'll want some speakers and sub for it. Finally, for the main bedroom and deck I could use a pair of potable speakers. Maybe I'd use them in the kitchen too. I'm not too concerned about audio quality for tv purposes but I like the idea of that audio being good for music. I'm not sure of how the audio at the tv would extend to the kitchen. I'm looking for suggestions for the tv audio and pair of portable speakers.  

Hey Community,I currently have a bunch of alexa speakers all over my house, the sound isn’t great but I love that I can connect speakers and play music throughout my entire house. I want to upgrade, looking at sonos. I’m looking at the ultimate immersive set with Arc (includes Arc, sub gen 3, (2) era 300’s). I’d like to be able to connect additional speakers to that for when I play music, thinking 4 additional ERA 300’s and 2 Move 2’s. Anyone know if I can play music simultaneously on all of those devices?

The Sonos app suddenly not working with the iOS lock screen control and volume button anymore, suspect it happen after the Sonos iOS app updates. So far I had tried:Restart the iPhone and make sure the iOS and Sonos App having latest version Reset Sonos app Reset + uninstall + reinstall app Off and on Sonos ERA300 and do the above Research all possible solutions from Google but nothing helps yet :( All of this not working, my app version is 15.6 build 74043110 with iPhone 14 Pro iOS 16.6. Is anyone facing the same issue or this is a known software bug?

I have had my Port for a couple of months, and it has worked flawlessly.  Up until this morning, when only a white noise is streaming on the coaxial. It disappears if I change from pass-through to variable, and lower the volume to around 30, or lower. However, I want to use the pass-through or fixed at 100. How can this be resolved?

Hello,I've reviewed a lot of other threads but can't find a similar problem. My setup: Old Sony TV (no e-arc)PS5 (primary media device)Sonos Arc + 2x Play 1 as surrounds I recently introduced an HDMI switch with a Toslink extractor to resolve audio syncing. Toslink out to toslink/HDMI adapter to Sonos Arc and HDMI out to TV to bypass TV audio processing entirely.  First oddity: it all works well and I can get Dolby Digital 5.1 and full surround audio on the PS5 interface and any gaming, but when streaming Disney+ or Netflix, there's no sound coming from the rear speakers at all, despite the app showing 5.1 while this content is playing.  Second oddity: a second input device is a GoogleTV and in this configuration it's outputting everything in full Dolby Atmos, which is great! Definitely not complaining, but out of curiosity, how is this happening over toslink? Any help is appreciated!  

So I've got a Synology NAS and a couple of Sonos speakers. Some day I got the stupid (!) idea to switch SMBv1 off and soon I found out that my Sonos stuff was unable to find my local music library. Of course I agree that Sonos should move to v2 or v3, but since there is no sign they will, even after the whole S2 operation, it seems we will have to solve this ourselves. I’ve seen the Raspberry pi solution here on the forum, but I didn’t want separate devices and I thought it should be possible to do the same with docker on the NAS itself. If you are not familiar with Docker yet: it is like running an extra machine (called “container”) on your NAS, a little bit like virtual machines, but easier and more lightweight. The container runs isolated on your NAS, it only gets the access to your NAS you grant it specifically. Docker is a standard package on Synology. It also has a nice “registry”: an app store where everyone can share their containers. So the idea is: run a container with SMB (S

I want to connect Frame TV to AMP?   I believe the only external input for AMP is analog RCA jacks.  What is best way to connect Frame TV audio out via fiber to RCA jacks?  The only cables I have between components are 1-coax and 1-Ethernet, no fiber our audio cables.  Would using ARC HDMI port make it easier?

I had the Sanus stands for the 300's, but after getting new sofas, they were tk short for the taller furniture. I ordered two Sonos OEM Era 300 Stands. I have contacted support about the following issue and they asked me for and order number, which I have sent to them twice and no response. Where the support shaft (long shaft that goes from the base to the top support bracket) have about a 1/2" of play where the shaft cam be rotated back and forth ok the floor base. Is this normal for these stands or did I by blind luck get two stands with the same issue? Thanks in advance for any info 

I’m trying to automate Spotify playing music on my Sonos speakers when I scan a NFC tag.I thought I could use Tasker to automate the necessary API calls...However, Sonos only supports the OAuth flow “Authorization code”, which makes it impossible to automate the task, since I have to show a webpage to the user for that to work.Is it possible to authenticate in any non-interactive way (Client credentials) or can I automate the Sonos app somehow? (e.g. Android intent?)

I have factory reset my Sonos devices & can't seem to get them to connect to the new router, the app can see them but can't seem to connect to the wifi & it's driving me nuts, the system is about 6 years old & hasn't been used as a surround sound set up in some time but really want it going asap, any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers 

My set up includes a Beam gen2, Sub gen3 and 2 One’s. When attempting to play a movie on a streaming service, Netflix, Disney Plus, there is no sound from the surround speakers.  But when watching network tv, the surround speakers work.  In both instances, under the Beam, its showing Dolby 5.1.   Please help  

Hi, I use Tidal in iOS and want to stream it to my Sonos gear by using the “Tidal Connect” protocol.I know I can stream Tidal to my Sonos Port by using Airplay or Sonos Connect. I know I can use the Sonos app to select Tidal as a music service. My question is about the streaming protocal “Tidal Connect” (https://tidal.com/connect), already added by many high-level streamign boxes.“Tidal Connect” shows in Tidal app like this: “Sonos Connect” shows un Tidal app like this: Are there plans by Sonos to add support for “Tidal Connect” streaming protocol on their products? “Tidal Connect” opens the box to stream high quality audio, and all main competitors of Sonos have added it since long time.Thanks, Toni

Hello all, I want to set up a home theater with surround sound,  I need an opinion for Era 300. or  In-ceiling speakers. I have a big room and which one is good for me?   thank you help.

Hi,I have an old speaker still with the S1 app and also newer speakers with the S2 app.I can sign into the Sonos Account page and the S2 app with my email and password combination but the S1 app will not accept that same login.Not sure why this would be if it works on the website and the S2 app. Appreciate your help.

I have a sonos sub paired to two fives, a one and a one sl in my living room. While I like the 5s and ones, im just not impressed with the sub for music. I’ve changed settings in it, turned trueplay off, moved the sub etc, and I just don’t like how it sounds. For $800 it doesn’t seem to produce much bass.  I have an Amp connected to two klipsch aw650s that are outside right now (will be coming inside this winter).  Can I use the amp with a 3rd party sub bonded to the 5s?  I think my wife will lose it if I hang up ANOTHER pair of speakers in our living room. Although I do like the 650 more than the 5s. 

I have most of all Sonos speaker and I use all of them with Airplay but suddenly My beam Gen 1 is not showing in the Airplay. I can connect from spotify but from Apple Music and Direct airplay it is not working. I tried to restart and reset but still It’s not in the list of Airplay. What is the possible problem and the solution as well.Thanks.

There are many more topics comparing these players. Please click here to see a list of more topics around the same subject. Tried both arc and beam gen 2, am I missing something? Having trouble decidingSo I went to Best Buy to test the Beam gen 2 (with sub mini) and Sonos Arc (with sub gen 3). I test both with/without the sub. The Arc I could see why people say it’s better for movies. When I played the demo - Arc had the volume distributed a lot wider. Movie effects like water splashing felt widerHowever, the beam felt a lot punchier (probably because the sound is more direct). The Beam felt more in your face. For the same volume it felt like it was louder. The sound felt a lot clearer for the same volume compared to the arc. I have a 650 sq ft apartment with 12 feet between front and back wall, and a long hallway (30 feet) on my left side and a wall basically directly to my right. Would the arc be better for if I eventually upgrade my TV? I much preferred the more direct sound of the

Seems this one takes minimum two tries to cycle the second update per first complaints. I see no immediate UI changes. Maybe this fixed the Trueplay debacle from 15.8?

I have a touch tunes jukebox and I have it hooked into a Sonos Port. When Sonos detects that music is playing on the Touch Tunes, it switches over. But I have an odd quirk that it won't switch back to my Sonos radio when it's done playing the song. Is there any way to achieve this?

How does Sonos plan to solve the issue of accessing lock screen controls and device hardware button on iOS? Removing that functionality with release 15.6 on July 25, 2023 is a significant impact on the user experience. Our phones are the primary way we control the product so is there a solution other than having to unlock the phone every time we want to control the volume, change a track or turn the system off? Please clarify your plans or provide alternate solutions. Note: I do not use voice controls with my products, so that is not an alternative. Thanks.
