The Sonos Controller for PC app keeps grabbing focus.  This happens while minimized and while not minimized.  I am experiencing this behavior across multiple PCs in the house.  Is anyone else experiencing the same thing?I’m using controller version 11.5.  

Please bear with me, as I’m not an audiophile! We have a first generation Bridge and Connect, which we had connected to a stereo receiver to play on wired speakers in our house as well as outside.Our stereo receiver died, and hubby wants to replace it, but I’m wondering if we’re better off just changing up our whole system (and taking advantage of the upgrade program). I realize it’s 2022 and wires are no longer needed, lol!Without wanting to pay a fortune, I’m wondering what our best options are. Just get a Roam or Move for when we’re outside and a One for inside, and get rid of all the wired speakers in our house? Or what about the Amp — is that something that can just be hooked up to the existing wired speakers? (Though yes, I realize it’s on back order…). I’m assuming that an actual receiver is no longer needed, as everything we’d be listening to is streamable…Thanks for any help you can provide to an old dinosaur!

Hi everyone, I am finding myself a bit confused with all of the audio options that come along with the Pro-Ject T1 Phono SB Turntable and am hoping to find some input.I own several Sonos products such as the Beam, a set of the Play:1 speakers and the sub.My questions are:Is it necessary to purchase another speaker like the Five or can I use something to push the sound out to one of my existing speakers? If I do need to purchase a Five speaker, is it possible to group it together with my current setup and play the music through my existing speakers?Appreciate any feedback and insight! This is also my first time venturing into the turntable space. ☺️

Hi, i am restoring my living room and i am getting a steel beam in the roof behind the sofa.Inside the steel beam its room for one sonos ray on each side.  can multiple sonos rays Play music together?  also in the future, if i get an sonos arc for example, can the sonos ray work as a back speaker ? regards Benjamin 

I know the topic of speaker selector switches has been discussed before  but i would like to add a few points and or questions to the discussion. I’m presently using a sonos amp with 2 sets of wired speakers (one indoor and one outdoor). I understand the ideal setup would be to use two amps but that would be so expensive. The obvious option would be a speaker selector switch but there are complications with this eg. sound degradation, impedance, and possible damage to the amp. My question then is could Sonos not produce their own speaker selector switch that would be guaranteed compatible with the Sonos amp or at the very least make some recommendations of switches made by other manufacturers ? 

Hello Sonos community! I have a Sonos arc and I’m using an arcana to get audio to it from my Apple TV 4K. As I currently have it set up I am unable to control the volume from the Apple TV remote, either the physical version or the iOS widget. Before I start tinkering around I would really appreciate it if somebody could confirm whether or not they have volume control working with a similar set up? If you do then it will either be my Sony projector or my HDMI switch that is to blame. Could these be the problem?

Sonos app on iOS (currently 14.12, but this issue started sometime before that): touching an existing alarm in order to view/change its settings freezes the Sonos app. Have to kill/restart it. Can toggle existing alarms off/on, can create a new alarm, but can’t get to the settings to change the time or volume. I know that I could access these settings as of late February, so the problem crept in after 14.2. I can access these settings through the desktop app -- but (for example) the volume control is an uncalibrated slider, so I can’t tell whether I’ve set the weekend volume the same as the weekday volume. So it’s not ideal.

The Roam charger cord is permanently attached to the base, which is already bad, but then the other end of the cable is a USB-A plug.  Welcome to 2015.  

Is it possible to have a quicker way to switch between Ambient and Full modes when listening to music? Depending on where I am in the room I may bounce between the two modes, currently a bit tedious to navigate through the settings to do this. A simple button on the main playback screen should suffice 

I setup successfully my SYMFONISK speaker using my Sonos App in my Android phone. Few days later, I use my friend’s iPhone to setup the same but with different Sonos account. she was not able to. Now my Sonos App also not able to connect to my SYMFONISK speaker.  Does anyone encountered this?

We have a new built house with an open space kitchen/living. We listen to a lot of music all the time. I have provisioned two play 5 at the corners marked with red (power and ethernet connection at 2.5m height). Will it be enough? Any other suggestions?

Best settings for each device for this setup:  LG C1, Series X, Arc?

Hi my Sonos Move doesn’t charge through the USB-C port, never has worked. Is there a setting that I don’t know about or is this a common issue? I’ve seen a few people saying the same thing. I only discovered the port a few weeks ago and i’ve tried various different chargers none work at all. 

My wife and I just set up our Arc+Sub in our living room, and One SL’s in each of our our offices. Everything was set up perfectly using my account/email via the Sonos App on my iPhone.  Now my wife would like control on her iPhone so she can manage her office speaker independently.  Can she create her own Sonos email/account and link up to our system at the same time as me?  Or, does she need to use my email/account within the Sonos App on her iPhone?  Thank you!

Hey everyone, I hope it’s allowed here to talk about this, I want to showcase of what’s possible to build using the Sonos Developer Platform: https://auxcord.org I’ve seen hundreds of threads here on the Sonos forum, asking for a Jukebox for their Sonos system: Allowing guests to queue their own songs easily. https://auxcord.org does exactly that:Never replace the currently playing song: always queue Your guests can use any phone to add songs Your guests don't need any account or login Disable the speaker's hardware buttons, so you control the volume and playlist Share a link or QR code ahead of time, so guests can pre-queue Prevent the same song from being played multiple times No need to hand over your phone, or have your friends spell the title of the songThis is a new project I’ve built, because I needed it for myself. It’s completely free, and I have no plans on commercialising it. Depending on the feedback, I might continue working on it, to improve the design and make it easier

could there be any issues if sonos fives and sub are always plugged in but I play only for some time(1 hour) ?

Greetings’’ Can anyone please tell me that , how many speakers we can connect over Airplay 2 , max I have connected 14 Speakers can we connect beyond that like 25/30 speakers.  And can we make groups on Airplay 2 ?  Please suggest your answer will help mes loving a bigger project form me.  

Please let me know how to “Accept” terms and conditions as button is greyed out so will not work.

When enjoying a song in a playlist, you used to be able to click on the down arrow and see the related album a track came from and then start playing that. This option has been removed in the latest update. WHY?! Seems a mad removal. 👇 

I am trying to get my Innuous mini mk3 library available on my Sonos Port.  Support has told me a.  No hard connection is necessary, they communicate via wifi, b. Connect them directly with ethernet cable and c. Connect them directly with rca cables.  I have tried all with no luck.  I have no confidence in support on this matter.  Have any of you experience with this?  Thanks in advance.

Hello all, within the last week my app has pinged up there is a new update (even though auto update is turned off).What exactly does the new update address?, has anyone updated yet.It's also really annoying the certain settings are now "ghosted out", just because it's sniffed an update.Is there any way to stop this happening in the future (blocking access at the router etc?). 

Hi allHoping for a bit of advice.  Looking to switch to a soundbar from my current poor performing Sony.I am looking at the beam and wondering whether the refurbished gen 1 (£270) will do the job, or if its worth paying the extra £100 for the gen 2?Tv is a 55" LG OLED C1.  I will be using two play:1s as surrounds.  Will be mainly watching freeview or IPTV, with a bit of netflix/prime thrown in.  Does anyone have a similar setup and would they recommend?Been doing a bit of research and it appears that Dolby Atmos doesn't add a lot, so wondering whether it's worth paying the extra for the gen 2?Thanks for your timeSteven

Trying to solve for the below goals using the SONOS ecosystem and I’ve been back and forth on how to accomplish. Improve my GreatRoom TVs built-in speakers (Beam/ARC)  Create AirPlay option and power speakers for turntable that sits directly behind TV area  Output vinyl/TV audio signal across all speakers on network (e.g. listen to vinyl on soundbar) Last, I have an additional TV on an HDMI splitter that I’d like to share audio/speakers with main TV Will an ARC/Beam + SONOS AMP (+/- 3rd party bookshelves and sub) accomplish what I’m after? I would like the option of using the sub on either TV/Vinyl signal, and by a similar token, have the option to listen to vinyl across all speakers on the AirPlay/SONOS network. 

This is offered to try and help anyone else who has just upgraded their Synology hardware with DSM 7 and transferred users and media folders to the new device via configuration export/import and/or backups.  It may also apply to anyone upgrading DSM 6 to 7.In my case, I was upgrading hardware and DSM version. Having done the DSM configuration and data imports from the old device, I was unable to add the replacement Music Library on the new NAS to S2 Sonos, Error 900 was reported. On the Synology, a log entry showed an SMB1 logon was refused.  This was a complete red herring, as I later discovered.Windows clients also would not connect to the shared folders.After a lot of playing around with SMB settings, it transpired from the raw smb connection log on the NAS that the issue was that the connections were refused due to the user not having application permissions.So if you come across this problem, please check in DSM Control Panel “User & Group” that SMB is allowed in application p

OMG playing a song and toggling the setting on and off in the Sonos App; What an amazing difference!!!I can’t find the words to express what an amazing difference (actually I can but they might not be appropriate in a public forum)Take a bow Sonos well done (Soundbar, Sub and 2x Play 5)
