My TV has only optical Audio output, but I wanna connect my TV to Sonos five

never mind… figured it out

Hello!I have several Sonos Play:1, some in single mode, some in stereo mode, and some in 5.1 mode with Playbar and Sub. All the devices are connected through Wi-Fi.Some rooms are missing and some stereo configuration are broken in the Android app 14.18; macOS and iPadOS controllers are working, so I think the issue is related to the Android app only. I have already cleaned the cache, deleted all app data and reinstalled the app from the store.Any hint, please?Thanks,Alessandro

Hi what I am attempting to do is stream music through our store’s speakers.  Will the Sonos connect work for this purpose?  The Sonos connect would be plugged in our network switch via a network cable. Then use a PC hooked up to the same network that is located in another part of our building to access Spotify. Hopefully Spotify recognizes the Sonos and allows us to play music from Spotify to our buildings speakers. The speakers are all connected and have 1 x 3.5 mm male end. I plan to use a 3.5 mm female like attached and remove the jacks to expose the wires to connect to the speaker outputs on the Sonos. My only input to the Sonos is the network cable.  Thanks Dan 

I see this feature request, or similar ones, have already been asked for. But the problem still persists. Currently, in order to get TruePlay, you must restore to an iPhone/iPad, so those users having Android are simply ignored (no, borrowing it from neighbours or friends is not a serious option).However, many Sonos devices have mics nowadays: Sonos Roam, One, Move, etc. Why not use that to perform TruePlay calibration of other Sonos devices? This could even improve your sales figures. For example, I’d rather buy a Sonos Roam for my existing ecosystem than an old iPhone via eBay.Are you considering to implement such a thing? If not, please consider. 😉

I own a Beam2 connected with my LG OLED TV via eARC.I have a problem… If I choose to hear from TV speakers or BT headphones, after I choose it from the TV, Beam2 retake the control and the sound exit from there and not from TV speakers or BT headphones I choose…In other words, I can choose to hear from TV speakers or BT headphones only if disconnect the Sonos Beam2 from the TV…Do you think it is acceptable????

Hi All,This questions is for those of you that owns both the Sonos Arc and Sonos Beam Gen2 or have been listening to both of them. How big is the difference in sound between the Arch and Beam Gen2. I understand that the Arc has better sound but is there really a big difference?2nd question:Will the sound of Beam Gen2 + Two Sonos Ones in surround be better than a single Arc?

Hello All,I have a camper with two pairs of 4ohm speakers.  Can I hook these 4 speakers (two pairs) that are 4 ohms each up to the new Amp?what would be the watt output when hooking these up?Thanks!  

HiI have an old Bridge and two Connects - Can I trade (upgrade) these products towards one BOOST and get a total of (15% +30% + 30%) 75% off the price?CheersLazza 

I opened up the My Sonos app this morning, and all the info is gone.  No playlists or anything.  The only thing showing is “recently listened”.   Is there a way to get it to load up the info? 

First & foremost Im no techy, so a big bear (or is bare ?) with, please.Have had my Sonos set up for at least 8 years (currently running version 14.18 (is that what I’m ‘sposed to say ?!)I have 4 x original SL’s (none of this Alexa malarkey) and a beam of one form or another.My issue is more about the app which I now run off an ASUS laptop (Zenbook, if it helps)So, two points that have been bugging me forever and frankly should have got off my chest years ago - but only now found the time...1...The app slide bars are so faint...it sometimes is just so difficult to see the the slider when looking at what’s on my Queue….and almost impossible to see the top and bottom up/down arrows.I've tried adjusting the lap top screen settings - to no avail and to be honest this has been the case wiith previous p/s’c I've used anyway, so I dont think this is a hardware issue.   So any answers - has this been addressed before...surely it cant be too difficult and wont affect the cosmetics of the di

I have a Beam Gen 2, sub-mini and a pair of Symfonisks setup for my home theater - love it, works great. Sometimes I venture off to the kitchen and want to be able to continue listening to whatever is on TV. I was thinking that I could buy a Sonos One and plop it in the kitchen and use multi-room to extend the audio from the HT to the kitchen? Would that work? Is the system smart enough to keep the HT setup as proper x.1 surround (so that somebody who is still watching the TV still has that HT audio) while knowing that the kitchen is just a single solo speaker and provide it audio accordingly?

Realme X50 Android phone.Interaction between MS Outlook and Sonos app was fine until yesterday. Whilst using my phone to listen in my Beam 2 every time I receive an email the app would switch off the radio. I've had to turn off notifications as a fix but far from an ideal solution.What are the chances Sonos will fix this bug?

Situation: I come home, Sonos is silent. I think, “I’d like to hear <song x>”; I search for it, press play, I enjoy the song, the song finishes and then immediately after whatever the hell it was I was listening to the previous time I used the Sonos starts playing.How do I make it not do that? Ever? I never want that to happen. Do the thing I ask you to do, and then just stop doing things.

So I've gone and bought some cheap bits to make Sonos  reach my bathroom at last! I have a speaker in every room including full cinema system, (playbar sub and play 1 surrounds)The speaker is a monitor audio CT165-T2 60/65W I test wired it before I committed to mounting it in my ceiling and to be honest I was hoping for more bass, could this be because it's not in an enclosure/ ceiling and is not using the surrounding ceiling to reverberate the sound or have I wired it wrong or dreading maybe I've got a speaker that needs more power than the amp can put out.ive basically wired it with 2x twin speaker wire and made sure positive to positive and negative to negative on the left and right channels correctly but wondering if there's a trick I'm missing?

Hi everyone,I thought this might be useful for people who plan to ditch their wired surround system for a system such as this.  I went for a Sonos ARC, Sub (Gen 3), and One SLs.  I came from a system consisting of B&W floor stand speakers and center channel, rears and sub coupled with a pretty high end Pioneer AV receiver (I manage to offload it for a decent price on the used market).   I have a 2019 model Sony TV with just a standard ARC connection.  Before getting this system I owned 2 other Sonos products - a pair of Ones stereo paired in a seperate room and the Sonos Roam (to which I think is by far their weakest product).  So here are my thoughts:For movies & TV, I am pretty happy by and large.  Calibrating the system with True Play yields very good results and the general usability of the system is great.  Its also far more attractive than my old bulky set up.  The immersion is great and dialogue is easy to hear even without turning speech enhancement on.  For music, its

was just gifted a Sonos One SL for my birthday, i’ve been planning to get more but am unsure how compatible gen 1 is with gen 2. The Sonos One SL I am assuming is the newest one out because was gifted it recently. If i wanted to buy more speakers, do they all have to be gen 2? or could i buy a Play 1 Gen 1 from a friend and it all syncs together? Planning to buy a beam/arc around christmas.  mainly plan to use for movies, music when friends are over. 

Hi Folks, looking to see if anyone else suffers from loosing sound after fast forwarding on Sky Q Ultra.When I fast forward any recorded programmes on Sky Q Ultra and return to play I loose sound. I need to change my AV channel and return back to channel and sound is reinstated. I have try changing cables and inputs without any joy. So not sure if it’s the Sky Q box, Sony TV or the Sonos Arc

I’ve come back from holiday to find that some of my newer speakers (play bar, play3, play1, move) are no longer compatible with the Sonos s1 controller, only the s2 now works.  This is frustrating as I now have speakers which don’t all work on the same controller (which was the s1!).  What can I do to sort?thank you for your response in due course.

How do I know if my sonos one are 2nd. generation?

The recently played area of the app (Android) never changes when I play new tracks.Can someone advise how to troubleshoot this?

HiI have a Samsung Q80 tv with sonos arc and the sound cuts out for a second this only happens when I am watching one App or if I put on uhd with the football on skycan you please help 

After installation, turning, and running everything else available on both the App and my Samsung TV using ARC cable for voice, I can only get a whisper out of the speakers, currently TV volumes is set to 49 out 70 and the speakers still are silent… Room size isn’t a problem, if there a magically solution I’m all for it, if not returning them tomorrow…. Jim

How can I connect my Sonos 5:PLAY speaker and a Sony CDP-CX355 CD Changer? Do I need an amp and pre-amp?

Slowly upgrading my home theater setup. I have a ceiling projector with HDMI in but no optical or HDMI out. If this works I’m planning to update from a Roku to Apple TV and old stereo setup to a Beam Gen 2. Due to my projector’s limitations and the fact that it’s on the ceiling across the room I’m hoping that I can project while streaming the audio via Airplay. I recognize this isn’t the ideal setup (a new projector comes later) and I would have to turn on the beam and select airplay each time but would it even work for TV/movies or is the delay too much or I just really don’t understand and have to have the HDMI in?Thanks in advance for any input. I’ve searched this a bit but haven’t found my exact situation or it’s from a few years ago and the answer isn’t for the latest hardware.
