Hi all.I currently have a Gen 2 Beam with Alexa voice control connected.Am I right in thinking that  for 2 rear speakers, the One SL (pair) are identical in terms of performance, and having already got Alexa via the Beam, there would be no point in spending the extra money that a pair of One's would cost?!?Thanks in advance.. P.s. I plan to add a mini sub at some point after a pair of rear speakers to complete a surround set. 

I have been reading a lot of comments about vibration on a Sonos beam. I was watching 6 Underground yesterday & yes the rattle/ vibration started. However it was nothing to do with the beam, it was the cables I had put under the TV stand that were vibrating against it. Removed them away from the stand & problem solved, thanks to my wonderful wife Wendy for spotting this. So check this first, you never know it might not be your brilliant beam.😃

Has anyone updated yet any idea what it does?

Moved into new house that came with sonos amps and wired speakers. All amp lights were white. I performed factory reset to add to my sonos system, and mute button flashes green with led off. When I press any button, mute button goes off and led is yellow. Continuously tell me me can’t find device. Can’t find the amp that I did not factory reset either. Any suggestions?

Salve,volevo sapere se era possibile abbinare 2 One SL ad un FIVE.Ps. Utilizzo l’app Sonos OS S2 vers. 14.18.1Grazie in anticipo

Hi- Amateur at bestI have an existing Beam Surround Set working on my HDMI-ARC input on my tv. Love it! I am considering upgrading to a projector and am looking at HDMI Multiview Switches to be able to watch multiple games simultaneously sometimes. The video part is straight forward; the audio I’m having problems.I haven’t found a multiview switch that would support surround sound from Sonos- I haven’t seen anything with HDMI-ARC. I believe that is needed for audio (is it even possible to get Atmos?), then an HDMI from the multiview switch to the projector.Open to all suggestion on products, thanks!  

Hi all!Using Playbar, Sub Gen 2 and two Play 3s. If listening only 5.1 (no earc on TV), would be the same setup with Arc instead od Playbar be an upgrade?Thank youNeven

Hi,I’m delivering some training this week in a location with only basic facilities (projector onto wall) and the presentation has some audio files.Can I use the Sonos One I have at home as the audio for my pc laptop?If that’s impossible/horrible I will also have an ipad/iphone with me, so would a kludge be to run the powerpoint on ios at the same time as from my pc laptop and just airplay the audio at the relevant time? There’s no video to worry about being in sync with, the relevant slides are audio-only. I’ve no adaptor to *just* run the whole thing from the ipad.

There are a couple of old topics relating to this issue with several hundred views and no solution. I am sharing my fix for it. In the tags on the files, I replaced the space after the word The with a unicode non breaking space.  This has done the trick for me.  It makes the index show the band under T and all the search functions still work as you would expect.  Changing the tags in MP3Tag is fairly quick if you have the files set up by artist.  Just select the artist folder and change all the Artist and Album Artist tags to replace the regular space with the no-break space.  After the changes are made run the Update Music Library Now function.The unicode no-break space is created in notepad by holding down the alt key and typing 0160.  When the alt key is released the no-break space is created.

After a fair months with various issues, the main sources of which being:Wireless DECT baby monitor, replaced with an non DECT one DECT cordless home phones, never used so replaced with a basic phone just for line checks Neighbours mesh hopping networks and sometimes choosing same channel as my Sonos. I spoke with my neighbour who set a permanent channel and it has improved his experience too with their streaming etcI now have a fairly stable Sonosnet, I have also moved a couple of speakers around based on what I have learned over the last few months about causes of interference etc.  Due to this movement I now have a Sonos Boost doing nothing. My network matrix is currently:  Everything seems to be working as we want, local files, online streaming etc The two upstairs speakers that are red I have very limited options on where I can move them to and I cannot work out what is causing the interference, but they seem to be working as we like. However I have some questions:Would replacing

I can successfully connect to my Sonos system from my iPhone via Spotify but when I try to connect the phone’s current general audio output via AirPlay to Sonos, I get an AirPlay error “Unable to connect” with no other details. This has only started happening recently. I have tried all of the obvious things such as power cycling the speakers, modem, router and iPhone but this has not resolved the issue.

Yesterday, my daughter set up an alarm with a music playlist for the speaker in her room, to play on weekdays. But both this morning (a Saturday) and this evening the speaker started playing an alarm (the chimes).It’s a Saturday (not a day for which her alarm was set), and it played at 7am and 9.45pm, not the time for which her weekday alarm was set. This makes no sense. How did the alarm get there? I obviously deleted them immediatly. But we don’t want this issue to come back.

Why do my Amazon playlists no longer play?  I have Amazon Prime. They played fine until about a week ago. I’ve even tried just playing music I have actually purchased but can’t even do that. Can you please help me figure this out? I am fairly tech aware but not particularly tech savvy.  

I’m able to connect arc & sub wirelessly and connect via Ethernet for the Sl one but when I try to connect sl one wirelessly it says “ your Sonos one sl couldn’t be connected”  anyone else experienced this issue? I’ve updated Sonos recommended router settings but still doesn’t work!customer service hasn’t been able to help either . 

Hello,Hisense PX1 or PX1 pro is the first 4k laser projector I have seen with e-arc port connection. Is anyone using this projector or tried connecting with arc and surrounds? If yes are you getting Dolby atoms? Thanks!

Sonos One SL ,Spotify Premium user, Win 11 laptop has Sonos app. Have installed Spotify through Sonos site. When I open Sonos on PC and select Spotify, it sees only Playlists, not songs or podcasts. I can play those through Android mobile. Why not from laptop? 

Hi, I have sonos arc, sonos sub and two Sonos one speakers in my setup. I want to add two more sonos ones in the exisiting setup. I want to add them as surround for the rear sides. If I buy two more will I be able to add them to the exisiting setup or will it have any problems adding all of them in one group. Please suggest. TIA. 

When trying to play Amazon prime music on my Sonos 1 the Sonos app does not work properly, songs repeat, when clicking on an album for example you cannot select songs now it just plays, it will start playing random songs i.e if you chose Slipknot station Spandau Ballet plays…help

Hi all,There don't seem to be that many posts about specific Sonos Amp & speaker combinations, so I thought I would briefly share my impressions of the Sonos Amp in combination with the Bowers & Wilkins 707 S2 loudspeakers.I ended up with this combo after half a year without a Sonos (or any real) stereo system following a move to a new, somewhat smaller, home. Having finally got my modestly sized living room in order with furniture placed and (just) enough room for a pair of compact loudspeakers, I went shopping.The 707s were not actually on my initial list of potential buys (I had intended to try their larger sibling, the 706, among other speakers) but upon hearing that my listening space was quite small (effectively a quarter of my living room, putting my usual listening chair less than 2 metres from the speakers) the sales person suggested trying the smaller 707s and they pretty much blew me away, with a remarkably full range sound for such a small speaker. Of course, they a

Cannot control rooms, only master.  Looks like a new bug as this has always worked before.  FYI.

We are writing summer 2019 and still Sonos only supports SMB version 1 for the Music Library share. This is not acceptable. A file share running SMB1 is extremely vulnerable to all the variants of cryptolocker virus that exists today. File share servers (NAS, Windows, Apple OS) can only support one version of SMB - so you cannot from the same box have one file share (for Sonos) using SMB1 and the other file shares using SMB2 or SMB3. This way Sonos puts each and every file share at serious risc - just because they don’t update their file share protocol to comply with this century. And for the record - the “solution” through PLEX is not a solution. Unstable at best.

Afternoon all, first time posting and could use some help please. In advance of moving into a new build house, I bought the home theatre system from SONOS including the ARC, Play 1’s and Sub. Honestly cannot wait to get them set up. As part of this I have purchased a Samsung QN90B 85inch TV which will be paired with the SONOS system. My wife purchased a TV unit which has also arrived, she wanted to pick the decor hence I gave her requirements for width etc on the TV and she has purchased a Next Bronx 2m Superwide stand, so far so good. That was until I looked at the depth of the TV stand combined with the depth of the ARC. I may have made a reasonably large error. The stand for the TV is a centre stand, 43cm wide to support the TV’s 40-odd kg weight.The tv stand depth is 40cm, the TV Stand is 36.5cm and the ARC is 11.5cm deep which means the ARC will have to sit over the stand. My question is - can this work? Does the ARC have feet on it that would mean it would sit over the stand? Or

I have a Beam (Gen 2) set up with my TV.  It's in a lounge approx 10m long with a flat roof and a glass roof lantern.  Unfortunately when it rains it creates a lot of noise and I have to have the soundbar really loud.   Can I add the Symonfisk bookshelf wireless smart speakers (From Ikea) to the system.   I am looking for something to place behind the sofa that just amplifies what is coming out of the Beam.   I'm not looking for the surround sound where it only plays certain times.   I hope this makes sense as I'm not technically minded I'm sorry.Thankyou

My Roam has stopped working. It has disappeared from the S2 app.When plugged into mains charger, the amber light on the bottom is on.When sitting on charger base, no lights show at all.The white LED has stopped lighting.I have tried reset (hold down play/pause, press and release power button on rear). This does nothing.Any suggestions?

We have a large property with a main house, entertainment building and a pool house.  There is one Unifi network for the entire property UDMpro, 3 USW24 switches and 10 Access points, the outbuilding are connected by fiber to a switch in each building.  In the main house there are 12 amps, 2 arcs, 1 beam and 1 sub.  One of the amps is plugged into Ethernet and the rest are on Sonosnet.  The Main house works fine.  The outbuildings are to far away to connect via Sonosnet and when I try to wire one Amp in either building via Ethernet the network crashes and does not recover until I unplug the Ethernet.  I have STP (not RSTP) enabled with the switches prioritized appropriately and IGMP enabled.  In the Entertainment building there are 4amps and 2arcs, in the Pool House there are 2amps.  What would be the best and stable way to connect the outbuilding Sonos players.? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
