I would love to buy a bass mini for my sonos move . Can sonos consider doing this !
Has someone experienced pairing APPLE TV 4K with a couple of SONOS ONE only for audio movie reproduction? Are there synchronism problems?Thanks
Is there any simple way to connect an Amazon Firestick to the Sonos Five? As far as I can tell, it’s not possible without a lot more kit because the Firestick only sends to bluetooth and has no line output. If I’ve got that wrong, please tell me...
Looking for some indication that Sonos is working on M1/M2 support for their desktop app. And BTW I sincerely hope Sonos is planning on feature parity for the desktop app as well.
My home theatre consists of Arc, Sub Gen 3, Sub Gen 2 and 2 Play 1s for the rear. Do I go with the Era 100s or the Era 300s to replace the Play 1s in the rear. Sound, not cost, is the prime concern.
When Sonos Era 300 will be available in India?
Perhaps a question for the Sonos folks.I’m looking to replace a pair of Play 3s in one of my rooms. I’m reluctant to go with Play 5s because of the size. Will two Era 3s be a good alternative? On a related note, if I bought a pair or Era 300s, could I run a phono turntable and CD player into the two available line in ports? Many thanks
Hi all,Sorry in advance for the long post.I’m looking for advice on whether to get the Sonos Arc or the Beam, and this seemed like the best place.Details:My home theater currently consists of movies and TV coming off the internet, and I have music either coming off my phono and/or my other Sonos devices (one One, one One SL, and I have a Connect that I use for legacy stuff).For the home theater (not for the two Sonos speakers), everything goes through a Yamaha receiver (roughly 10 years old) and goes to my “surround sound” setup. Because of the room (we bought everything when we lived in another house) I don’t really use the subwoofer or the center channel speaker much anymore.It’s in the living room (roughly 14 ft. x 16 ft), with a 10ft. flat ceiling. The house is from the early 1900’s, so the walls are plaster. Within the room are a couch, loveseat, upholstered wingback chair, two sets of large drapes, books, and a rug.We’re getting a 55” inch Atmos-enabled TV (48” on the bottom)
HiDespite checking Windows 10 firewall allows private access to Sonos controller and Sonos library, I am still geting "Unable to play 'xyz.mp3' - unable to conect to //room/userSometimes it works, sometimes doesn't. Has anybody had this?
I have a home theater with the arc, 2 ones, and a sub. I had the setup for a few months and haven't heard sound coming from the sub. The sub is connected, the white light is on on the sub, and I've set the sub level to +15. What am I missing here? Is there a way to test the sub to produce a sound?
I have an old system with ZP80s, ZP100s and 2 CR100s. I have not updated the firmware on my system since Sonos announced they would no longer support the CR100.Most of the time, I listen to my favorite radio station through TuneIn. A couple of days ago, I tried to listen to my favorite station and got the following message“Unable to browse music - there was a problem connecting to TuneIn.” I knew this was coming, but was hoping it would happen after I take my dirt nap.I ran upstairs to my Windows computer and launched the old version of the Sonos controller and was able to use TuneIn to listen to my favorite radio station.Every once in a while, I now get a commercial coming through my Sonos from TuneIn. They are local commercials and fairly annoying.Please note, I am not complaining about anything. It’s just a sad fact that the things we were told about our old CR100s is coming to fruition.I can get around the TuneIn supplied commercials with a blue tooth gizmo and an antiquated c
I have a new Samsung QN75Q80B TV and a Sonos Arc sound bar. The sound bar is connected via eARC. In order to get the Sonos sound bar to play, it must be the only HDMI port in use at the time the TV is turned on. I can then connect my Spectrum cable box to any of the remaining HDMI ports and Sonos will remain as my sound output. All is well with TV and/or cable functionality. However, if I turn off the TV and later turn back on with everything connected, I will not be able to select Sonos as my sound output, it keeps reverting back to TV speakers and will not allow me to select Sonos. This situation will remain constant until I disconnect the Spectrum cable box HDMI cable and re-initialize the Sonos as the selected sound output. The Sonos sound bar begins emitting sound as norm. Then, I can reconnect the Spectrum cable box HDMI and everything is back to norm. I shouldn't have to be disconnecting and reconnecting the Spectrum HDMI cable each time I turn off/turn on the TV.
Having just read all about the new Sonos Era 100 I am unsure if I add one to my existing system, will I be able to stream a bluetooth device throughout the whole house? Any ideas?
I recently added a second hand Sub to my Beam. To begin with it would not connect to my Asus TUF-AX5400 WiFi router. I then connected with ethernet cable and finished reset and setup with the Beam. However I do not want to use cables, so I switched to WiFi and disconnected the cable. The Sub reconnected and so far everything works perfect.. My question is that when I look at connected Clients with my Asus app, The Sub shows up as disconnected, but it´s working fine. If I check with the Sonos app, it shows that Beam and Sub is connected. Why is that? Just curious :-)
I'm sure it will work, but I'm curious if anybody knows if the era 300's will work as surrounds with an arc and dual subs config? Again I'm sure it will, just wanna have that confirmed.
So….… Last Saturday(09/12/20), all of a sudden, I was able to control Sonos from the Lock Screen on my iPhone. It worked on mine and my wife’s phone. When we woke up Sunday morning, it was gone. Sonos. Make it work, we are tired of waiting. *Moderator Note: Modified in accordance with the community guidelines.*
I’m sad to say that after the issues I’ve had with my sub underperforming. Ordering a new one and that not been any better. I’am going to leave the Sonos home theatre ownership. I will be returning the sub I just purchased the rest on a well know auction site. The service from Sonos as been shocking. Just copy and paste answers. The big question is… what next?
I'm thinking of buying SONOS sub (Gen.3).Can I send Music from my iPhone to SONOS sub (Gen.3) directly via 'AirPlay 2'? for Example:iPhone SE → SONOS sub (Gen.3)iPhone SE → HomePods and SONOS sub (Gen.3)without Other Sonos items. Moderator edit: combined posts
I typically use mine in the yard with the back facing the wall so I’m not sure of it would be an upgrade to swap it out for the Era 300 as with the play 5, all the drivers are forward facing and in the Era 300 it seems like half face the front and the other half face the back. Also, did they release any power ratings to see if it will be as loud as the Play 5 gen 2?
I have a playbar connected to the TV in the great room with a sub and two play 3’s for surround sound. Because the area is very large (kitchen is 30-35 ft away from the TV) I would like to extend the TV sound into the dining/kitchen area with another playbar and two play 1’s. I originally wanted to designate the area as two rooms, Family Room and Kitchen, ( so I could turn off the kitchen area when watching a movie) but realized that I don’t have any way to get the TV sound to the second playbar that way. So I suppose I could add all the speakers to the Family Room but I don’t see how to do that on the app. I don’t see the option to add anything to Family Room.Please advise
I have my Arc immerse system on order and keep reading how the Arc butchers music in terms of sound and stereo separation. Tight of a solution of nixing the Arc and buying 3 5’s and a sub instead while using four of the five 5’s for true stereo F+R for music, and then using all 5 (add center) for cinema….thoughts?
On my mobile Pandora app I am able to download some albums or stations so I can play them if my internet hiccups. Is there a way to do this with Sonos? I.e., could I have Sonos download playlist tracks so they can run if my internet goes down? If not, it would be very cool to offer this as a new feature.
Yes, I know this question is asked a lot but I’m asking it again. I currently have an Arc + Sub. Love it. For music, I have a five that I usually play along with the Arc + Sub. Hate it. Obviously this is not a stereo pair and it does not do justice to music listening. I’m contemplating buying another Five and only using the 2 Fives as a stereo pair with no sub. Or do I remove the sub from the Arc and use with the Fives? I really wish I could use the sub interchangeably with the Arc and Fives...but sigh. Thoughts? cheersJ
Is a SYMFONISK lamp suitable for outdoors? I'm talking about a covered deck.
My question is: would it be possible for Sonos to add to the Sonos ecosystem a vacation mode? In that mode, when activated by tapping a button in the app, all the Sonos units would power down to an absolute minimum power consumption. With vacation mode enabled, all network activity of the Sonos units will cease, of course making them unavailable in the app. Re-activation will take more startup time as usual, for the units have to boot and initiate IP handshakes with other network devices. After having returned from vacation, a tap on the vacation button would be required to re-activate the system to the normal stand-by mode. This option would reduce power consumption during the absence of the user.
