Can I use sonos roam as smart home speaker like echo or Google nest?And does it support zigbee or z wave protocols to connect smart home gudgets or only wifi? 

Our main room of use in our house outside the kitchen is a living room, that is 26’sx12’, our furniture is on the long sides with doors on both ends. I currently have a five on one end, and a one sl on the other. While it sounds fine, how can I fill the room with sound? I was thinking two fives up high in the corners facing the couch and two one sl on the wall behind the couch. And maybe adding an amp. Could I get by on just two fives and an amp? Or to make a complete immersion should I look at speakers in every corner? What is the best way to set it up to get the most out of it, and would I be ok with the sub mini, or look at getting the bigger one?Thanks

- Which sonos smaller speaker can I pair with it to move around the house?? I don't want an additional Five 

While you can launch lossless music via the Sonos app (ie Amazon Music Unlimited), I’ve yet to see a Voice Assistant be able to do this yet (ie Alexa plays lower quality non-lossless music from Amazon Music Unlimited). I even thought Sonos Voice would solve this issue but it doesn’t. Has this been resolved yet in the last couple of months or so (on any combination of Voice Assistant and Music Service)?

Hi! I have arc and SL speakers for surround. now i bought sonos amp for use subwoofer via cabel. i connected they and it works if you gonna listen music form spotify with phone or laptop. but when im watching tv then remote will  controll only sonos arc and sl voices but dont controll subwoofer level via amp. have anybody same issue and ho to fix it? thank youKenno

I have a Playbar, sub, and two Play 1s. They are missing from my system. The Playbar is connected to my Roku TV. The Playbar and Sub play through the TV and when I press the play button on either one of the Play 1s they play as synced with the Playbar and sub. I have tried the recommended process for missing products and have not been successful. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I’ve had the Arc, one sl’s and sub gen 3 for a while now and have always been disappointed by the dialogue in content. Doesn’t matter what’s being watched or if speech enhancement is turned on. My buddy just brought over his Beam gen 2 and it’s not even a close comparison. The beam sounds so much better with dialogue at half the price. Any updates on software changes that might alleviate this? I know this is one of the major complaints of the Arc based off these forums and your subreddit. 

Now that the Roam has been out for a year plus now I was thinking about purchasing it. There’s a lot of Sonos fan that went out and bought the Roam when it first came out. I was not one of them. I am a firm believer in Sonos products. But also I like to wait a bit to see how the reviews are. Plus I was hoping they would be available in other colors other than white or black. Most of you said that that would not happen any time soon. But this happened a few months ago and I thought again about buying it. But held back. I read and seen a lot of reviews on how there are other portable speakers other there that are better than the Roam. I’m eyeing the JBL Clip 6 right now. That seems to be better than the Roam. Anyone has opinions on the JBL or other portable speakers? Bose would be another choice over the Roam. Maybe someone here can convince me to purchase the Roam? 

Why is there no difference with speech enhancement on or off on Arc. Very dissapoing. I had a Bose 900 and it worked perfectly.

So I am listening to spotify with the tv on or off and I cannot control the volume with IR remote.This can’t be how its designed???I mean my guests do not have the app installed. and the buttons are not obvious way to control a sound bars sound.  

When in the SiriusXM Favorites view on the Windows 11 Controller (Sources > SiriusXM > Favorites > Channels), the song currently playing on each favorite channel is displayed, however after playing music for a bit, the songs do not update.

Hi all! Hoping to get some recommendations on the number and placement of Sonos ceiling speakers in a new construction home. The image below shows the dimensions (living room is 15’x20’) and likely furniture placement. I’m hoping to use my Sonos Playbar combined with the ceiling speakers in the living room as surrounds. In addition, I’m hoping to fill the room with music that sounds relatively even throughout.It’s feeling like the right approach is 6 speakers + 2 amps. Of course that gets pricey, and also thinking there might be other options I have not considered.Hoping to get thoughts / opinions. Thank you! 

I have a theatre room with a 7.1 set up. I usually have played the pausing game between the 2 directv receivers to get them close when hosting football games. I have a beam and ones in the other room that I use to broadcast the sound everywhere else in the house. Even by getting them synced close there can be an echo effect. I am wondering if I hook a port up to the av reciever will I be able to group it with the others and be able to have that audio play in the theatre room with everything else? Probably also boils down to if my av reciever will be able to play the audio of the port in, while keeping the picture playing from directv source. 

Hi guys, I have recently purchased a Sony A95K O-LED tv and have been looking at sound bars. The best value for money it seems is the Sony HTZF9 which minimal problems it seems. Now I have been looking to get the Sonos Arc, has anyone had any experience in pairing the Arc with the Sony tv? Is it worthwhile? Any problems? Can I still utilise the 5:1 surround via the bar and the tv, and is it compatible? Thanks guys.

I’m considering adding a sub to my setup. I have an Arc and two Fives in the same room. I want to add a sub so that:when i watch TV/movies, i’m using the two fives as rear speakers  when i’m listening to music, I’m using the two fives and the sub.\Questions: How do i setup a sub to make this work? is this even the best way to listen to music with this setup, or should i involve the arc somehow? Is there a way to do this without destroying my trueplay tuning, which is essential for the weird shaped room I’m in? What happens if I put them all in one group , and then just mute the arc when I’m listening to music? Thanks so much for considering. any help you can give is super appreciated.  

I ordered a Sonos amp 12/24. Ship date was supposed to be 1/14 but now they are saying it’s delayed and don’t know when it will ship. My question is has anyone actually been receiving their orders at all or does the ship date just keep getting pushed back for everyone?  I’ve noticed these expected ship dates being displayed for the last 6 months. Has anyone actually received one?  

I have a Gen 1 Play 5, Play 1, Boost and Connect.  I know all about the disappearing “on this iphone” from a couple years ago and haven’t used my system much since.  However, I saw the Port and was wondering if I can use that to replace my connect, run it with S1, and use AirPlay 2 to play music to the rest of my speakers?  Essentially, a work around to make it work like before?  I tried searching but didn’t find much.

I use my TV mostly for Dolby Vision & Atmos content and Music streaming which the Beam tends to look after itself. However the PS5 gives me too many options for my small brain, any advice would be greatly appreciated.Currently set to AV Amplifier / Linear PCM / 7.1 and is appearing as such on Sonos app.

I have now tried three times this week to order a Sub Mini to go with my Sonos Beam, and each time my order has been cancelled by the Sonos website.I contacted sales support and they say that their system faced an integration error that cancelled customer orders in bulk?Anybody else struggling with orders on the Sonos website?

Hi. I’m thinking of getting the new sub mini for a room that has a Playbase and two Sonos Ones? Is this a good match for the sub? I think the Playbase already has a sub in it. So maybe I do t need the sub mini? This is for tv and music, Does anyone have any insight? thank you!

Hi,I am new to the whole audio surround system and I have a question. If I have the Sonos-Ray Soundbar along with a few Sonos-One G2 speakers can I play music on the Soundbar along with my Sonos-One speakers or is the soundbar only able to play sound from the TV? Would I be able to use the soundbar as an extra speaker when I’m playing Spotify?

So I first apologize because I know this topic has been asked repeatedly, but this time it’s a little different…… Is it possible to get Atmos quality sound if the speakers were positioned closer to the ceiling?  In my living room we have 20 foot ceilings (not vaulted), but we also have a ledge that goes up about 12 feet.  I wasn’t sure if being higher would help reduce the distance for the up-firing speakers?  Thoughts?  Or does anyone have suggestions for another sound system at that would be a better fit for my room type?  Oh we also have a Sony TV with the acoustic surface so the sound projects directly from the screen. Not sure if that would help with choosing a sound system. 

Hey All, I plan to install Arc to complement a 65” LG G2 and would like to mount the Soundbar above the TV screen. Will trueplay compensate for the placement? Has anyone been successful with this arrangement?  

I have 5 Sonos speakers. I simply restarted my router and now all my speakers are gone. Can Sonos explain this and not blame the user, ISP or router manufacturer. Rather than spend half an hour reconnecting all of them many that are physically out of reach can Sonos explain their incredibly poor performance? If there’s a technical bypass please let me know. Otherwise I tell every person to run from this brand for there technical ineptitude and lack of reliability.  so tired of going thru this process every time the router gets reset 

I have been using a Playbar for years.  The optical port is now broken so I’m looking for a replacement.My LG C1 has an HDMI eARC port so I have been looking at the Beam or Arc.Conceptually I don’t understand how eARC works. So if the eARC port is HDMI 2 then I run an HDMI cable from 2 to the soundbar and that HDMI port is now solely used for audio?Luckily on this setup I have a free HDMI port so it’s not a big deal but paring down 4 ports to 3 to use one for audio might be problematic in other setups without a receiver.Do I have that right?  Sorry for the newb questions!  Thanks
