Just bought a beam 2, I’m curious as to what others have found works best in terms of the height channel settings for Dolby Atmos? I know it will be subjective based on individual space (ceiling height etc) but keen to hear what others more experienced than me have found is a good place to start, also does the height setting matter if playing non dolby atmos content? I can't say I’ve heard a difference?

As of today I am bang up to date with all updates. My issue is playing Spotify through Sonos I cannot delete the track that I have played. I used to be able to delete the queue but can’t find it anymore? 

In the FWIW department, I wanted an easy way to spin up all my music to all speakers in my house as well as be able to quickly adjust volume, skip & pause.So if anyone is interested, here’s the initial version of my little app.  MIT open source in C#.  Suggestions welcome.HotSonos on GitHubBTW,  I mapped my controls to the keypad which I never use - add/subtract for volume, multiply for pay and divide for restart.Moderator Edit: Link removed

I have multiple users on my system. Sonos says to log in to get the full experience.   Does another user need to set up their own account then log in on the app which is connected to my system or do the need to use my login credentials?

Has anyone fiddled with the Apple Shortcuts automations for Sonos?  I created an automation to play every Sonos Room.  I know I could have just said “Hey Sonos. Play Everywhere”, but using that option plays the Rooms at whatever volume they were last set at.  The beauty using the Apple Shortcuts app is you can preset a volume for each room.  Unfortunately when I looked at what music can be played the choices were only radio stations in the Favorites list.  Has anyone been able to access Sonos Playlists as well as Radio stations?

Hi All, I am currently in the middle of an extension build, the end result will be open plan dining, then kitchen and an additional seating area at the end, this space is roughly 4.8m x 11m, 3m ceilings... I would like to incorporate speakers for music, and then TV/Movies and PS5 around the seating area. I like the sonos for simplicity and expanding at some point into the garden for summer BBQs.I was thinking either 1) Arc Ultra alone OR 2) Beam2, a sub mini and 2 x ERA 100s on the back wall (either side of the art on the picture) at the tv area, and a ERA 100 at the other end between the dining and kitchen for filling the area when only listening to music.We are at a point of electrics in the build, now I am thinking do I need 2 x 100s wall mounted at either side of the sofa for rear surround? My concern is that I obviously don't have the room to sit them behind the seating area, so will they be too much 'in your ear' for surround sound AND also if your lazying on the sofa listening t

Hi allSearched and found closed topics.Wanted to find out whether the issue of setting an alarm and not being able to add a Group has been fixed? So I set an alarm with a station, choose a speaker (eg my Move stereo pair) and choose “Include Grouped Rooms” but it fails to also then play on my Beam which is part of this Group under “Groups”. If I set two alarms they are out of sync. Any advice? thanks 

Spotted last night on TV, wearing Ace for podcast, noise cancelling Andy Burpham? 

2 actually, both of them have probably been asked  for before.1. Ability to sort Favourites on home screen.2. Individual device volume settings for alarms. This wouldn't be a problem if devices came on at the same volume. A setting of 20 on an Era 100 is not the same volume as 20 on a Roam. I have tried setting individual alarms but they're out of sync. I'm having to group the 2 devices and have the Roam come on at an almost inaudible volume. Happy to group them but would like to control volume by device and not group.

Hey,just one quick wish: As it would be good for battery health - it would be nice if you can limit the maximum charging capacy of move/roam/play to 80% or 90% on demand by adding a switch under options. Thank you!

Hi again In general I like the user interface in the app and I also like the changes now in july.  One thing with the GUI i don't like so much is the display og speaker groups in form in the "player". It's today as "buttons" on a single line on top of the speakers. Even though I initially made 8-10 groups I rarely use them as scrolling to get the wanted group isn't natural use for me. I would like the groups listed somehow - then will selecting a group be easier and more on intiuition. I don't have a clear solution how to improve it. It can be a list above/below speakers, it can be a tan for groups and a tab for speakers. Probably other better solutions - just look into how groups can be displayd best way 🙂Thank you in advance Amund 

I currently have an amplified turntable that Is connected to a PORT only so I can listen to my LPs through my SONOS speakers I am upgrading my turntable to a non-amplified version. If I upgrade the PORT to an AMP will that still take the input from the Turntable and play through my existing SONOS Speakers?

HiI would realy like a function to restart one/all speakers. I experience doing that help sometimes to avoid hang/unstability, but with 10 units it's not something i like to do manually… A function in app to restart selected or all units would be verry helpfull.  Amund 

HiI have been using Sonos system for about a year. We have 8 speakers, 2 beams and are generally verry satisfied with the system 🙂 But I have some wishes for improvements regarding Tidal integration that is the music supplied I mostly use.  In Tidal app:The integration should be improved for better stability. I understand that this isn't something you can do by your own, but I guess focus from you on it can bring it forward.  I have tried to report it detaily to Tidal but it have'nt been improved so far.I experience that in example changing speaker after starting to play stops it all. Then need to stop Tidal app to get it work again. Adding songs isn't fetched, change order of songs is not fetched and so on. In short: The stability needs to be improved.Tidal in Sonos app:I have been primarily using the Tidal app to play music since I like some features there. But I til stability is improved I will try to use the built in Tidal In Sonos app. There I have this wishes for improvement: -

Hello!  I am trying to understand why the middle speaker isn’t “working” when used as rear with Arc Ultra.  I almost feel like I don’t hear my rear. I understand that the “Atmos” is working because the side speakers work. But is it ment that the middle speaker shouldn’t work as rear speakers?

Hi! I’m thinking about buying the Magnetar-Audio UDP800 4K UHD Blu-ray player so I will be able to play 4K movies and SACD for music. Will this setup work with my Sonos speakers if I connect the Blu-ray player with HDMI to my TV and then a HDMI from the TV to my Sonos Soundbar? Will it be able to play Dolby Atmos and SACD-sound from the blue-ray player through my TV and then to my Sonos speakers? Do I loose any quality in either sound or video? Do I need for example a receiver as well for this to work?Speakers: Sonos Arc soundbar, two Sonos One speakers for surround and a Sonos Sub Gen 3TV: LG OLED65CX6LABluray player: Magnetar-Audio UDP800 4K UHD

Feature suggestion: I don't understand why the equaliser and surround sound settings are not quickly available from the 'now playing' panel. When you are seeing what you are playing, that's when you might want to adjust sound/surround settings - it's the natural place for it - not hidden away deep in the settigns four or five clicks away. Makes zero sense to me. Please fix this!

Trying to add music purchased from iTunes to Sonos app. I do not have a subscription to Apple Music. I have purchased all of my music from iTunes on my phone.

Yes, I realize that this has been asked before, but with macOS losing Rosetta 2 with macOS 28, coming out in 2027, is there any chance of the desktop Sonos app being ported to Apple silicon?I primarily use the macOS app, and am not really looking forward to relying on the web app, since I live in an area with poor internet availability.

Hi all again,Reading some threads with conflicting information.Looking to buy beam 2 or arc ultra but I only require low bass (generally) and volume about 25%.Can people advise if arc ultra does not work optimally at this low volume and bass? Also would beam 2 shine instead and be the leader?Just looking for best experiences at low volume. Cheers

I've been a Sonos user for years (Play:1s, Beam, Move) and an Android developer on the side.I wanted to share a project I recently launched — Sonos Widget Plus, an Android home-screenwidget for controlling Sonos speakers.Sharing here in case it's useful to other Android users on this forum. Disclosure: I'm thedeveloper.**What it does:**- Play / pause / skip and volume control from your home screen- Switch which Sonos room the widget controls with a tap- Group multiple rooms into a playback group- Pin up to 5 Spotify playlists or Sonos favourites for one-tap playback- Fully customisable look (colours and transparency)- Two widget sizes (4x2 and 4x3)**How it connects to Sonos:**It uses the local UPnP protocol over Wi-Fi that Sonos speakers already expose. That means:- No Sonos account needed- No cloud service in the middle- Works whether the music comes from Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, Tidal, TuneIn, or line-in- Runs entirely on your local network**Requirements:**- Android 8.0 or later

Hi all. Listening to demos only. I have not had the chance to play with the EQ.Tempted to get the Ultra but when listening, all content sounds cinematic/theatrical. Will ve using for general tv (documentaries, soaps, news) gaming and movies. For general tv the cinematic feel can be overkill. I know you can play with the settings. But from user review can you get the bar to sound natural like normal tv quality (obviously better than tv) but normsl sounds if that makes sense? If so how close to normal can you get?Thanks

I am looking to improve my current Sonos setup; I use the current setup within my games room for entertainment so I can stream music from YouTube, or Apple Music (I appreciate that the quality is dependent on the streaming service and the subscription/configuration).I currently have an Arc sound bar below my TV which is mounted on the wall and a Sonos amp driving two 8 inch ceiling speakers towards the rear of the room. I also have a Sonos subwoofer to one-side.I’ve been looking at the Sonos Era 100, or 300 although I don’t have an ideal place to position this speaker and not sure if I need Dolby Atmos! The other option that I was considering was the Sonos Five and placing them each side of the TV about 2 meters away. Does anyone have any recommendations or suggestions to improve and optimise the sound. I don’t use the room for movies generally, so I suppose the sound that I’m looking for is a more hi-fi effect than surround sound.I do have a pair of Sonos Play 1 that I could move from

Current alarm clock settings:- Select a "room"- Select "Include grouped rooms" I would appreciate it if:- Multiple rooms could be selected individually- A group could be selected that is already defined in the settings Room groupings change throughout the day, so it's necessary to check each evening whether the desired rooms are grouped so that the alarm will sound there.With these simple options as an extension, the desired rooms or group for the alarm can be defined precisely and individually. Alarm clock task for the development team:- Multiple room selection- Select group option* Additional task: Individual setting of the turn-on volume of the grouped speakers

I have been waiting since the release of the new feature to disable SonosNet for the toggle to appear in my app. No luck so far, but when I check in play.sonos.com, in System Details, besides the S2 speakers, my old Boost is listed as well. Does anyone know how to remove this S1 device, so there is a possibility to finally get the option to disable SonosNet?
