Talk Sonos Products

Hello Community, I need help! I currently have a Sonos playbase which we absolutely love. Our house has 2 X YAMAHA 6" IN-CEILING SPEAKERS PAIR - NS-IC600 in the living room and outdoor alfresco.  I want to buy an amp to start using the speakers but have no idea where to start. Do I need to buy a Sonos amp to connect the playbase and will the Yamaha speakers be compatible with it. I'm also not sure how I split the audio between the areas... Would you need a seperate amp for each space is there some form of splitter? Any help would be much appreciated! 

Hi all new to the forum, but far from new to Sonos.Fantastic products that are bloody addictive  I've been speaking to Sonos direct about this was advised to come here and hopefully some of there engineers and software developers are lurking around here.  My question is who here would love to see Sonos add a feature in the app for individual sub gain/volume and sub frequency. For those that have 2 subs in there HT setup this proposal to Sonos will allow the users more fine tuning setup, in return suiting different rooms and distances etc etc and also if this is possible have a sub frequency option so we can adjust the frequency to our taste and liking and setups 30/40hz and up they sound like there preset @ 80hz minI feel very strongly about both of these should be in the app so the user has full control. It's not the case of one size fits all, I believe this would be welcomed worldwide from a Very large volume of usersa simple yes or no reply would work great.I'd like to get and gain

I have 2 sanos fives and want them to work with my tv wirelessly. If i buy the arc and connect to tv, will the fives communicate wireless with ARC and work as surround? Also, what effect would that have if I just wanted to listen to music? Thanks! 

Hello Everyone,Currently I have :1 Playbase.1 Sonos Play:1 Gen 1.1 Sonos play:5 Gen 2.1 Sonos Playbar. I connect Playbase to my Sony TV and I got Dolby Digital 5.1 label on my Sonos app when I watch Movie on TV.Currently,I group all the speaker together when I  watch movie. However as I understand, that way just make all the speakers play the same audio source, not separating channel for each different speaker ( But I still can feel a bit surrounding sound maybe 3.1 system because Playbase itself is the stereo speaker).My question is if I buy one more Play:1 or Play:5 to create the surrounding system, Will the surrounding sound experience be different so much or it will just slightly the same?And what does it means by Line-in will be disabled when connected the surrounding speakers? Now I connect TV with Playbase by optical cable. 

I am trying to upgrade my system (surround with Beam gen 2, 2 One’s) for ~$800, and am weighing 2 options below:-Upgrade Beam gen 2 > Arc-Add Sub gen 3 to the existing systemI primarily use my system for watching movies & TV shows and listening to music. Any inputs would be appreciated, and any upgrade ideas not listed here would also be appreciated to help me think outside the box!

I have Samsung smart TV and Sonos Playbar. Never could get Samsung remote to control volume on Playbar, just used Directv remote.  We recently “cut the cord” and are just streaming now.  We finally figured out Samsung remote to control volume, or so we thought. Turns out it controls volume when watching live TV through antenna, but it will not adjust volume for any streaming service (Netflix, Prime, YouTube, Roku).  I can still adjust volume through the app on my phone, but there are other people in the house who want to watch TV when I’m not home.  How do I get the remote to consistently control volume for all apps? 

Ok im coming here for help. The volume level of our system is drastically less than what it used to be.  System we have is arc, sub, two ones, and move.  We have had sonos for 2+ years but over the last couple weeks noticed the levels were off we started adjusting  fyi  bass used to be -1 to +1 on our sub.  now we have to put it at +10 for the same amount.  I have had two support experiences that did not solve anything other than putting the eq of bass on our arc up to +10 and sub level +15   where this would before had me evicted from the complex next door.  I also just realized i can take the level of our system all the way to 100+ when before maybe 60 was all we could handle.  I did a google search today after weeks of frustration and I see its now saying an update has many users upset and sonos knows there is a problem with a recent update.   I have had 2 support issues for volume levels and they have no solution but a search shows there may be an issue with an update.  This brings

Hey there,I am looking at setting up a 2 room Sonos system.I have a turntable in one room (not being used) and an old Nad amp and speakers in another.I would like to be able to send audio from the turntable to either room independently. And also use each room with digital independently. But on my budget this seems hard. Room 1 Turntable- Preamp-FiveRoom 2 Port-Nad-Speakersthis is close but will not be able to send turntable only to room 2 as five will play?Am I missing something or will I have to save more money😭  

Hi all,It has been a while since the Ipad Air 5 has been released and it is still not supported by trueplay. Do we know when the Air 5 will be added?Sorry if this has been asked before, I did try to look for it but I couldn't find anything.Kind regards,Laurens

Ok so moved to the Roam after having UE booms for years. They have a dedicated app that can be used to alter config, see battery levels, change equaliser settings and lots more.I understand that the Roam fits in with Home network and all those things are available via Sonos app when at Home.But once you leave the Home Network and Roam you can't do anything. That's insane. Yes it connects seamlessly and does its main job which is play music etc. But to not have the ability to access the settings is ridiculous. Is there any way you can do it? Even with a 3rd Party App?Thanks

Hello,I am would like to install 2 front in wall speakers and 2 rear ceiling speakers using an amp for each with a Samsung frame TV.  I don’t want to use a sound bar because I would like to keep the clean look of the Frame TV. I know very little about setting up a sound system and would just like good basic surround sound. Would this be an effective basic set-up and would it work with a new Samsung Frame TV? Thanks

Hello - would a Sonos Boost connected to my router prevent people (who have access to my wifi) use my speakers?

Hi everyone, I have had my Sonos ARC for a while now and just got a pair of One SLs, and I am trying to figure out how to reliably get surround sound with the following setup: - Older Sony Bravia TV (KDL-46EX721) that has no internal apps for Netflix or other streaming services- Regular Chromecast (non-ultra) connected to HDMI input on Bravia TV- Sonos ARC connected to Bravia TV via HDMI ARC I have tried several apps and hard reset all devices at least once, with the following result:- I am getting Dolby Digital 5.1 sound via Chromecast on HBO Max- Netflix, Amazon Prime and YouTube only play Stereo PCM Is this normal? Is there anything I can do to get 5.1 from Amazon Prime and Netflix? Would it help to use a Firestick or a Chromecast Ultra instead of my regular Chromecast? Thanks in Advance!

HI, I am looking to move soon and was going to upgrade my main sonos system in a new audio room to Arc, Sub with 2no rear sonos speakers (ones?) i also love vinyl and would love to know how i can play analogue through this proposed system, currently the turntable plays through a pre amp, then into Yamaha receiver and the Bose wired acoustimass system, sounds great but wanted to go wireless…… any help would be gratefully received, cheers and thanks

One of my Roams is discharging on the charger. I’ve spent hours chatting, talking on the phone (mostly on hold), submitting diagognistic reports and emailing for 2 weeks and no action, no answers, just the same explanation...

Hey Sonos users!  I am writing for the first time and with some fear whether it is a lack of functionality or my inability, but choosing a new artist in apple music that I do not know, it is difficult for me to choose the album that I could choose.  the chronology of the release of the records would be helpful.  what do you think about my problem? Greg (a satisfied user of a 12-element sonos system) 

I now have two sets of outdoor speakers and a Sonos amp but I’m not sure where to put the amp. Obviously it would be easier to hook it to the speakers if it was outside, but I’m not sure it can withstand the elements. Where do you recommend I put the amp? Where do others put it?? Thanks for your help! 

So the update today has given me cause to renew my absolutely awful relationship with TruePlay. I’ve had Sonos gear for a couple of years. Every time I have tried to use TruePlay has been an absolute nightmare. 9/10 tunings sound utterly awful, like truly terrible, thin, sibilant, metalic.I have to go through all sorts of contortions, scanning parts of the room and not others, different devices until finally I get something passable. And even then I ALWAYS have treble set to -10 and would go lower if I could.These are expensive speakers. TruePlay almost ruins them. I am not alone in this. A bit of googling uncovers others with the same issue. I just can’t understand how Sonos can accept such an erratic EQ as the only EQ option apart from a simple bass/treble.It could be remedied quite easily. Either a better EQ (6 bands would be enough) and let us choose manual EQ instead of TruePlay. Or at least give us some trueplay options, that is, let us choose say TruePlay warm, Trueplay crisp, T

Trying to get my ducks in order.Will a SONOS One Gen 2 work on S1 or only a One Gen 1.Same again with the Move, will all Moves work on S1.Cheers, Keith.

Hi people. Will a sonos ikea lamp bought in canada work in Ireland.  I know all the other speakers are 120/240v 50/60hz but not sure if the lamps are the same. 

I am planning to purchase an Arc+Sub+Satellites in the coming months, and I will need either a new eARC equipped TV or an Arcana. I am leaning toward an Arcana in the hopes that I can add a powered splitter to the HHMI video output of the Arcana, allowing me to send video to my 4K panel and to a video only monitor 25 feet away. Any experience here with splitting that signal? I assume that because the Arcana successfully segregates the audio from the video that splitting the video is no big deal.Right?

Front to rear fader option please . Come on software developers.

I know the ability to move speakers into and out of groups more easily has been requested a lot. But I wanted to add my scenario because I think it shows how much this is needed.I had the Arc, Sub, 2xOnes HT setup. We use it for a lot of music as well as TV/movies, so I upgraded the rears to Fives. I’ve been struggling to get them tuned since the update. It turns out they sound better with the Fives as a stereo pair on their own. This also let’s me put the Fives in the perfect position for music alone.But this leaves me with the dilema of whether to group the sub with Fives or the Arc. Either way, half the time, I will have my beautiful $1100AUD sub sitting there doing nothing. That really sux.Surely it wouldn’t be too hard to let us save a small number of “profiles”? Then I could have a “music” and a “movies” profile that let’s me get full use of the sub.Please?

Hi folks. I have a box full of old vinyl records and I recently bought a double album by Goose. I bought it because it was released in my birthday and I really like the band. Joe Bonamassa re-released one of his double albums and I’d like to pick that up too.  But now I’m thinking it would be great to actually listen to them! I’ve got a sound bar, a couple of One’s, an older Five and I recently bought a Roam. I love the whole Sonos experience. So I’m wondering what and where I should look for a turntable. I’ve also got a Bridge that I bought when I first got my Sonos system.  Any info is appreciated.  Craig
