I have music and audio books stored on my NAS. I previously ran a Samba docker container so I could share this content with my S1 system and SMB 1.0. Though I didn’t use it a ton so it may have been broken then; not sure. I just upgraded to S2. I can index my Audio Books and Music folders with Sonos directly on the NAS (not the docker container) but only some books play back; others consistently fail. Not sure why. Anybody know of limits of file size? These are all in the same “Audio Books” folder. The files that work are smaller (200mb or so) but small files have also failed. I can access that share with the same user account Sonos uses and copy the file so I don’t think it is a permissions issue. Separately, I run Owntone on my network (iTunes server). But apparently it doesn’t support DLNA.I have Plex but am hesitant to enable Remote Access.What is the best way to expose my Audio Books and Music to Sonos?Any good docker containers of DLNA servers that I could run that Sono
Sonos S2 system. Latest updates. Just deleted and re-added Plex; no change. Plex software is current. Running Ubiquiti Unifi system for network gear.I can see my library, and for the most part, play music files from Plex.When I try to play much larger m4b audiobooks, I see a whole bunch of ranged gets (with 200 status code) of 6144 bytes in length (For a 200+MB file) and then it eventually fails and I can’t play back the book. Each of these gets is from a different source port on my Sonos, which I think is excessive.I do have Remote Access for Plex enabled but do not have any ports published (for Plex or anything else).Any idea what is going on and what I should do here? I’d like to be able to play Audiobooks through Plex on my Sonos.Thanks
I am working with the low voltage installer currently on a plan for speaker placement. I will be putting in ceiling speakers in various places, but the one area I need some clarification on is the main living room.My planned setup is as follows:TV, Arc Soundbar, Sub and x2 Wall Speakers connected to a Sonos Amp as surroundCurrently on the plan all speaker wiring is home run back to a panel in the basement. I had planned to put multiple sonos amps in that location wired to ethernet. Can I do this with the TV surrounds as well? It is unclear to me if they need to be physically connected to the TV/Arc or if being on the same network will allow me to pair them up as surrounds. This obviously changes where I would home run that speaker pair to.Thanks!
I just got my Sonos Move and I can connect using my Android via WIFI but I am unable to connect using my Mac via WIFI, and I would like to be able to listen to Apple Music from my Mac

Hi all, I get an error saying Trueplay not available on my device. I am using an iPhone 14 running iOS 16.1.2. Anybody know the what/why?Thanks!
Sonos Move won’t charge and orange light remains on constantly. I am unable to turn off/reset either.Am I ok to remove battery whilst orange light remains on?
V14.20 two instances dropouts/missing sub&surrounds since setting it up. One happend after trueplay retuning when I was gonna use the system later in the evening the surrounds were missing. Today the surrounds and sub were missing. Nothing else has happend with the router, I have different SSIDs and tons of IoT devices that report no issues. Got Beam gen 2, 2 Play:1s and a Sub mini. No mesh. Wifi6 enabled asus router. Connected to LG CX55 via eARC. Connected the beam on ethernet on the last dropout. Seemingly this is the solution for the “wireless” system. (And this time I didn’t have to reset the surrounds, just a reboot of them, the sub and the router.)
Hey guys!I am moving to a new place and in my head I am planning how and where to setup my TV and my Sonos Gear (Sonos Arc, Sub, One surrounds).The living room is quite large, has a lot of big windows, angled ceilings and therefore a lack of opportunities where to place the TV with the Sonos system. I highlighted the area in the photo where TV is supposed to be mounted. (please note that all the furniture in the photo will be replaced.)I am concerned that the sound is going to be compromised due to the rooms setup. So I would appreciate some suggestions and opinions on this matter. Thank you and cheers!
So, there were not any explicit answers that I could find. I found it when I prayed about it.So:On the Firestick: Home>Settings>Equipment Control>You my have to enter your PIN>Manage Equipment>Add Equipment>Scroll Down to Soundbar>Select Sonos.It walks you through the rest. It took about five minutes.
Y a t il une solution pour la connexion Beam 2 avec TV ayant une sortie son en SPDIF COAXIALE
Is anyone else having issues with the system and upgrade tab on the website? I keep getting blank screens and it never loads or http error 502. This has been for two weeks. Unfortunately no help from Sonos support. I have followed troubleshooting for my end but feel it is on sonos end.
Last year I installed a Sonos Port in my house which is connected to a home speaker system. Recently, I have purchased a Dj mixer, more specifically the Allen & Heath Xone 23C which I use with a pair of CD Players, the Pioneer XDJ 700’s, and I am wondering if there is anyway to connect those to the Sonos Port so that I could play music through the home speakers? I attached pictures below showing the ports on both the Xone 23C and the XDJ 700's.
Hi,I currently have a Beam Gen 1 set up with two IKEA Symfonisk bookshelf speakers as my surround sound system. I have just upgraded my TV and wanted to upgrade my sound system as well. So I bought a used Play 5 Gen 1 to utilize the trade up offer. And now I have my eyes on a used Sonos package with an Arc, Sub Gen 3 and One. I was wondering if I could downgrade the Beam Gen 1 to the S1 app to pair it with the Play 5 Gen 1 and One and then play with the rest of the S2 system over AirPlay? Either through Spotify or Apple Music. Worst case Youtube.
Hi, I’m running Sonos 2 v12.1 on Pixel 4a (though I had this same issue on Pixel 2).When I browse “On this Mobile Device” my music appears just fine under Albums, Songs, and Playlists. However, there’s no discernible sort order of Artists and my Genres are all empty. I’d appreciate some thoughts on how to resolve these. I’d like Artists in alphabetical order (or for someone to at least tell me what the sort order is) and for Genre to be populated. Thanks so much!Artists - what order?eh?
Few years ago many users suggested to add the option to make presets for the sound settings on the app and its still didnt happened. Can i ask you pleeeeease to make presets for the whole EQ settings (10 slots to customize) such as for music we will be able set height levels to +4 and the Loudness on etc. And just by pressing on ‘music’ for example, it will change all the settings. Thanks in advance.
Is it possible to use my current receiver and phonograph to play vinyl records through Arc?
I have an Arc and a pair of Fives in the same room. I use the Arc for the TV and the Fives for music (the Arc and Fives aren’t paired with each other and i don’t use them at the same time for TV or music).Question: Could I pair the Sub Mini with the Arc so that I get the bass when watching TV and also pair with the Fives for listening to music?
If all I have is the Sonos Move and the Port, I could stream CD player and Turntable (with pre-amp) to the Move without an amplifier/receiver, correct? Your thoughts.
Hi everyone,I’m wondering if I should set up beam + sub + 5’s as surrounds on my TV OR whether I should have beam just on TV then have separate ‘music’ setup with stereo paired 5’s + sub. I listen mostly to music and I feel the latter option is the best use of the 5’s and subs for music as they’re stereo paired vs the first configuration where the 5’s are not stereo paired… What does everyone think?
Puedo conectar trueplay al conjunto de altavoces sonos Ray, sub mini y dos one SL
Is SONOS working on a turntable that will connect to a SONOS Amp? (A turntable not named Victrola)
I want to add Pro Ject turntable to my existing home theatre set up. Play bar, play 1s and sub.Once I connect via amp, port or play 5 etc. will the sound broadcast over all speakers? or just one?
I’m looking for a consolidated tutorial, or instructions for setting up a network music library accessible by Sonos devices. Something that will at least cover the basic requirements, system compatibility, etc.I know this is a wide open topic, and dependent on OS and hardware, but I find myself starting from scratch, searching through other’s mistakes and questions, trying to solve problems that should be basic knowledge.
