Talk Sonos Products

I just  updates from S1 to S2. Glad that I can turn off some ancient protocols on my NAS. But one thing seems weird to me. The S2 app itself seems super ugly. Maybe it’s only supposed to run on a phone? (I’m on an iPad).It’s strange to me that the player is this brownish color (see uploaded screen). And the player part doesn’t change with light mode and dark mode. It’s always this brown. Also, the library access pages seem kind of ugly. In the default skin they are like gray on gray. What’s up? Am I doing something wrong?  

I've had a Sonos system for a number of years now, and have upgraded to Sonos S2 products. I have had a Port, Amp  and five for a couple of years. I have recently added ceiling speakers in our new extension. These have little or no bass coming from them,even at maximum level of bass. Does anyone have an idea about what I could be doing wrong?  

How do I use s1 app?

I’m just about pulling my hair out with my Sonos and 77C14.I have a Playbase, two One’s and a 3rd Gen Sub running off Optical Out. Always works, never a problem until today. Nothing from any source will play in 5.1, says Stero/PCM in the Sonos App. Tried my Sky Q box, ATV 4K, and even the on TV streaming with the TV displaying that the output is in the correct DD 5.1 or Atmos etc.Tried different HDMI cases, just in case, tried a different Optical cable, still the problem persists. Read 1000 different solution and tried everything I can find/think of. Anyone have a clue please as it’s doing my head in. 

I one travels and streams stored music from their phone why can they not pair 2 raom portable speakers via the phone or why can’t the speakers have a TWS mode like my little 29 dollar Olitek speakers These little speakers will pair with each other and work in stereo separation mode You would think 179 dollar speakers would do this

I currently have an Arc set up using an ARC converter with Apple TV HD, 2 One SL’s and a sub set up over the Wi-fi. I’d like to set that as the default for all types of media from the Apple TV however this seems to be a gap, or I’m missing something. TV is a 1 year old 75in Samsung.

I bought a Symfonisk from IKEA and was stunned to see the setup process asking for activating location services. Especially when it already connects to the device through bluetooth.I’ve already filed for a return but if there’s a way to do the setup without location services I’d cancel it…That’s a shame that they make it compulsory; I have only one device and it makes no technical sense at all. Tere

Want to connect Devialet phantom gold to sonos - how do you do this

Wanting to create a mini home theatre but I'm not sure how to connect the Sonos amp to the arc. I know I can group them through the app, but I'm looking to sync them like the sub syncs to the arc. Any tips?

To the old-schoolers out there like myself clinging on to v8.4 (for reasons of old hardware), it seems finally to have been killed by MacOS Monterey (at least on the desktop app) as Sonos now longer responds: I am restricted to the iOS app only and am kicking myself for updating my OS. If anyone knows of a setting or hack to bring it back to life, please let me know. My 3rd party MBS app still works (although not properly).If I were to update my Sonos version does anyone know which is the latest version of the system to definitely work with an S1 (not S2)? Do I even have a choice?Thanks! 

I’m looking to get a subwoofer for my beam gen 2, but I keep reading about the mini sub Sonos will allegedly release later this year, according to ARS Technica:https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2022/08/want-a-cheaper-sonos-subwoofer-youll-have-to-wait-even-longer/This system will be placed in a room that’s about 10’x10’, so the gen 3 at full price seems overkill, but what are my options? If I get a used gen 2 at a good price, then maybe it’ll be worth it.  I’d like to get a mini sub version, but who knows when or even if it’ll actually release. What do you all suggest? 

In the auto trueplay info it quotes:If you’ve added the Google Assistant to Move, Auto Trueplay will be disabled when Move is in Bluetooth mode Is this also the case for Alexa? Or when voice control is turned on? Or is this only specific to Google Assistant? PLS HELP LOL

I’ve been using Sonos for 16 years (one of their first users.) I’ve purchased close to 50 Sonos devices. I’ve been complaining about the UI for 15 years. It’s horrible. Performing simple actions like opening the equalizer requires 5 minutes of discovery every time you want to use it. Why don’t the navigation icons at the bottom of the app have labels. Why does the screen for selecting rooms/devices have the title “System”.  Why is the icon in the navigation bar for this function totally unrelated to the function. Why is the setting for Alarms on the screen for selecting rooms. Why are there three separate icons  (search, favorites and browse) in the NavBar for selecting Music. Why are the playback controls hidden in the collapsed now playing screen. Setting up a new AMP…...What kind of imbecile would require a user to input a code into the app when installing a new device that’s written in illegible characters (requires a magnifying glass) on the back of the device, and only let the us

I have set up an TV in my bedroom. The room is large and I would like speakers closer to my bed so I don’t wake up chidren. Can I use a Ray soundbar turned low/off and have two One speakers next to the bed (left and right)? Thank you

LONG time Customer with legacy components (Connect, ConnectAmp, Play1) that work just fine within Sonos S1 App - Don’t want, need or can afford to upgrade equipment.But thinking about adding a Sonos Beam gen2 soundbar - How do I integrate this product into my current system? Would separate S1 & S2 Apps work? Other better solutions?Sonos has been a great system but feeling a little left behind or forced to change... Thanks,BobJ

Can the Sonos Arc display the volume connecter to a Sony A95k thru the e-Arc HDMI port??

Is there any plan to integrate volume sliders and play/pause controls on the “rooms” (zone selection) page of the app? I think it’s be very convenient to have control over each zone without having to load each zone in the app first. For example, if I have 3 zones playing music, I can alter the volume on one of the zones playing from the rooms page instead of having to select the room and then alter the volume.

I currently have the Sonos S2 app installed on my iPAD.  I have a large music collection on a NAS, which I control using Asset UPnP.  I have set up a unique instance of Asset for the sonos so that only mp3 files are used (I have a fair number of FLAC files in our collection).  Having enabled “show UPnP servers” in the media servers options under settings, I am able to see the entire collection using the music tab.Unfortunately, with my setup I am unable to add an entire album to the queue or a playlist.  I have searched the forum and found two potential solutions (long press album art, then scroll down) or (press … symbol at in the upper right of the screen when viewing album tracks and then scroll down).  Unfortunately, neither works.  When I scroll down from either spot, nothing happens.  Can anyone help?Thanks

I desperately need some guidance with this research because I'm at my wit's end.I simply need a tangible remote control—not an iPad or phone—that I can use to adjust the level on a selection of Sonos speakers or on ALL of them.No more Tradfri gateways are available, so you'll have to wait till their new hub is ready, however it looks like their Tradfri remote may manage a number of devices (or all speakers). I have the remote but no hub yet.pico remote and lutron hub just went down this rabbit hole and there is no Sonos "group" support; you can only operate ONE speaker at a time.

Sonos Arc, Play 1 surrounds, gen 1 sub, I haven’t really ‘pushed’ my system for a while, but have noticed sound issues in recent shows and movies that do not feel right - turns out my once sounding amazing home theater system is now absolutely horrific - I tested with 6 Underground on netflix which was once my ‘showcase’ movie for what the Arc and Sonos can do, and there’s such a substantial difference, I’m wondering if there is a way I can get anywhere close to what it was before, whether Sonos has acknowledged the issues and working on a fix, or whether it’s time to pack up shop? Everything from the immersion, explosions, dialog, I can’t even explain it, sounds like a cheap Bluetooth speaker. I have tried with Truplay on and off, I saw recently the recommendations now is OFF, although the software keeps tasking me to re-tune.Honestly the fact that I have to take the time to write something like this severely agitates me, I’ve been a Sonos user for years with over 10 speakers, but can

Why can’t we just go back to the 14.10 update? it was working perfect then. My system sounds terrible now. Just add a separate volume like you did for Heights for those who want more voice. 

Hi. I have a Play 1, Play 3 and Boost which are operating under S1. I was originally told I could upgrade my existing kit to S2 but now whenever I try I am told my devices are incompatible with S2. I just bought a new Roam, which is S2, and I do understand that I cannot link the speakers as they are not compatible, but can I link my Roam to my existing library, playlists, favourites etc. or do I have to set it up entirely from scratch? I cannot even find out how to add my iTunes to the Roam let alone anything else. I have the S2 and S1 apps on my iPhone, but my main channel for my existing speakers is the Sonos Controller on my iMac, which incidentally will not enable the update they tell me is waiting to load. 

HiI’m about to upgrade a Gen 1 Connect for the Sonos Port. Am I correct in understanding that 24 Bit steaming is only available via Amazon Music, and Tidal is still only CD quality at 16 Bit? 

HiLong story short. I have a Gen 1 Connect. I’m about to upgrade my HiFi system (speakers and amp) and hoping to improve my streaming source (currently using Spotify) to CD quality using TIDAL, Apple or Amazon Music. I may not notice the difference, but want to at least give it a try.The Gen 1 Sonos Connect obviously isn’t suitable for CD quality streaming, so I’m thinking I should upgrade to a Sonos Port and move to the S2 app. I’ve been hesitant to upgrade due to the mixed reviews over the past few of years, and am curious to know if there have been any improvements with the sound quality issues some people have had (either from the unit itself or in the app) since it’s launch 3 years ago. The sales guys in the hifi stores here in Sydney like to push the BlueSound Node, but I’m already invested in Sonos, and happy with it.I’m currently using RCA cables on the Connect and thinking I would possibly use the digital coax on the Port if this would work better with the Amp (Cambridge Audio
