Will the Sonos arc, gen 3 sub work with home wifi which is T-Mobile 5g? I hope it does I want this system.
We’re doing a big backyard renovation and trying to figure out the setup and what I need to have an electrician do. I have some general questions about using Sonos AMP + Outdoor speakers + TV. My assumption is that the best setup to get the TV connected is to connect HDMI ARC from TV to Amp, correct? The TV will only use native apps for TV (YouTube TV, HBO Max, etc). How easy will it be to switch audio via Siri/Airplay from the TV or vice versa? Any other considerations I need to have as I begin getting equipment and cables for the electrician?Thanks in advance for any insight as to what may be needed.
This question has been asked myriad times in slightly different formats/ contexts but here goes again; how do I print off the track list from a Sonos playlist so I can share it with someone else? Adding a layer of complexity, can I share it with another Sonos user?
I have had Sonos of about 4 years because I wanted to be able to relax to music and have a radio station alarm play early on a Saturday morning.I also have a Ring doorbell and a wifi ‘net’ for my work.I frequently lose connection to some of my speakers and every so often the speakers just ‘boing’ incessantly - usually at 06:15 when the alarm goes off.I had numerous conversations with support who identified that Sonos and the latest BT router weren’t compatible.I eventually got round that by hard wiring one speaker to the router (what’s the point of a wi-fi system that has to be hard wired!)Even with that hard wired I still randomly lose connections from the speakers - almost as if they are throwing the connection around themselves.Today we were woken by the dreaded ‘boings’ so I had to get up bleary eyed to try to resolve the issue. I can now get 2 out of 4 speakers working. I have done all the rebooting, reinstalling and I know when it’s good and ready it’ll start working again.I am j
I have an older Mac Mini, A1347, from late 2014, hooked up to my home theater system for some games on it. Apparently this model doesn’t send audio out through the HDMI cable. My system in that room uses a Playbar, two Sonos 1 players, and the woofer (forgot what it’s called). When I try to use AirPlay so I can play the audio from this Mac through my theater sound system in the same room, that system (based on the Playbar) is not on the list of Sonos devices I can use for playback. All the other Sonos devices in that building and in the house (all on the same LAN) show up, but not the theater setup.Is this a solveable problem or is there some reason the Playbar and combined system of 4 speakers can’t handle AirPlay when all the smaller devices can?
I’ve created a simple command line control program for Sonos, implemented in Python. I find it very useful for creating a variety of Sonos control scripts (e.g., using cron to run scripts at specific times), and sometimes just for quickly controlling my Sonos systems when I don’t want to start the app. It works with S1, S2, and split Sonos systems, and it should run on any OS that supports Python 3. If you’re comfortable using Python and the command line, you may find it useful, too. It’s quite powerful, with a wide range of control actions, yet simple to install and use. GitHub: https://github.com/avantrec/soco-cli PyPi: https://pypi.org/project/soco-cli This is an early release, so expect some bugs and limitations. I’d welcome your feedback and suggestions.
Hi folks, I’ve got a Sonos arc connected to my Sony TV via hdmi earc and a Sonos boost hardwired to the router. When I group the play 5s and the arc while watching a movie/tv there seems to be a slight timing issue between the output. It’s minor but creates an echoing effect. My objective is to explore having more of a 5.1 effect reaching for a wider sound stage with the play 5s providing the left/right channels. im wondering if an Ethernet cable between arc and plays may provide some connectivity - I’d imagine im not the only one thinking like this?? Anyone else!?
Help please: I have the Arc, a Sub and 2x Fives for my surrounds in my 'Living Room' zone (Arc+Sub+LS+RS) connected to my television.Can I switch the 2 Fives for use in stereo with my turntable (yes, I have a preamp) so I can listen to vinyl as well (not at the same time)?Thanks in advance.
This sucks that I cannot log into my Tunein premium service! Now I have to listen to adds each time I want to listen to a radio station. Get with it sonos, your system sucks. Looking for a new home audio system. Sonos is not a user friendly product!
I have a 10-years plus plethora of first generation (S1) products that don’t function with S2 software. Is there a work-around way to get my system to work with Bluetooth devices
So I’ve read a few of these issues, more hopeful I was thinking of However…. my issue might be other devices. So… my Sonos is fine when playing things from Android TV, no issue, however my Virgin V6 Box is another matter… there is definate delay there. Some music artists look better at lip syncing that this thing.My question is, is this a problem with maybe the HDMI cable that connects to the TV from my Virgin box, as in would it make a difference? I do have an XBox one, but it’s wired a bit behind things upstairs so want to move that as a last resort just in case….
Pretty sharp group here - so I will throw out a novice question. Forgive me if this is TMI. I have a pretty solid home system but will be moving into my girlfriends house. Her place, no sound system - so the A/V is up to me. I am starting from scratch at her location and plan on setting up an A/V closet for Vinyl and some older components. . Currently own Sonos - ARC, 2x One SL, and a Sub for the main room. I would like to incorporate some of my current piecesFluance RT82 Turntable (w/o built in pre-amp)CD Jukebox, VCR & Bluray PlayerLG OLED65C1 TV I also have decent pre-amp and/or an Onkyo TX-NR676 (that says it is Sonos compatible and has both wifi & Bluetooth) My question is, I do plan on incorporating more Sonos gear throughout the place, but since her place is a blank canvas, would I even need my Onkyo receiver if I do not plan on hardwiring any speakers at this juncture, or should I be selling it and going a different route? And if I keep the the Onkyo receiver with th
How about creating a few more more Sleep Sound stations - like Surf or Brook or Crickets?
Hi I am about to add 2 sonos 1s as a stereo pair to my living room. In my conservatory I have an existing system of 2 sonos 1s and a sonos sub. How can I configure the living room pair to use the sonos sub in the conservatory, but ensure the sub still works with the conservatory pair? Thanks for any pointers.
I have been trying to buy the Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Turntable in Black for two months now in europe and it is not in stock. Is there any expectation of it coming back?Not interested in the walnut version not the Pro-Ject T1Really looking forward to get my new setup.
I would like a feature (which I think is deficient by its absence today) in the app that allows you to toggle the Move into Bluetooth and Wifi mode. Sometimes I switch my move to bluetooth to pair with my TV streaming device in the bedroom. After the film is done, I would like to be able to switch the move back to wifi and be able to use its voice control etc without having to get back out of bed! Thanks.
When I ask my Arc to play music it plays way too loud and I have to go back and tell it to play at level 3. I have seen older post where it should play at the last know setting but that does not work ie: last setting was at Level 3. It always plays loud and I have to change the setting. I have looked but do not see a start up setting anyplace. Is there anything that can be done so it starts at a set level?
I have recently moved home.I have 4 Play ones and a Sub all linked by a Sonos Bridge all a few years old.They worked fine in my old home.I tried to set them up yesterday after updating but its not finding any of them on the S1 app.I have downloaded S2 app but its nit compatible with a bridge.Will I need to purchase a Sonos Boost.Thanks for any advice.
Thought I’d take my Sonos Roam on holiday. Didn’t work. Couldn’t connect to WiFi as the hotel (Radisson), like most, uses open access WiFi so instead of a password, you sign in with room number and family name. I kinda accepted that, though far from ideal, but I couldn’t even get the Roam to work via Bluetooth. I had the hotel IT guy try various workarounds for an hour but he had to give up. Does anyone know a solution for this? Cheers.
My main system is a Lyngdorf 1120 based system but For the Dining room i am thinking of getting a Sonos 5. Is it possible to use it with wireless headphones

Good Morning everyone,I have 2 Sonos Play:1 speakers with which I listen music via the Sonos S2 App, wirelessly, on my phoneI wish I could listen to my cds from the portable cd player and I saw online that I need a Sonos Conect Amp.I've seen some Sonos amp connect devices on ebay, Sonos ZonePlayer ZP100 Digital Music System Multi Room, I wanna buy of second hand.Before buying it, I would like to know if it is the correct device to listen to the compact discs from the Sonos Play audio speakers: 1 or I need another device.Any kind of suggestion is appreciatedBest
Hi all, I just purchased a Sony Bravia xr-65x90ck and I’m unable to get it working with my Playbase. I’m using an audio optical cable to connect the two, and the cable light is red, so the connection isn’t the issue. I’ve seen older threads from users with similar issues, but nothing newer that references the most current televisions. Does anyone know the correct settings for the television/playbase?Also, we use any Apple TV for all streaming etc. We also have a Nintendo Switch on a separate HDMI port. No sound on the Playbase from either one.
I used to get lock screen controls on my iphone to control the sonos system. Now they are gone. Not sure exactly when they disappeared, as I’ve updated both Sonos and IOS devices numerous times. A super convenient feature, which I’m really missing. I can see this issue has cropped up before, and the solution was to delete non-sonos airplay devices from the ios device. To me, this isn’t a solution. I would like to cast my phone audio to other devices. This WAS working. I can’t get a concise explanation as to why Airplay and Sonos aren’t working well together! Anyone know how to get this working?
I have an arc and have just purchased 2 Sonos one SL's to try and create a surround system. Initially, all went well, everything was connected and working fine. I then became aware there was no sound coming out of the ones and they had a flashing green light. I factory reset them, re-added them to Sonos added them as surround speakers and they instantly flash green as soon as they are set up. I have totally factory reset the entire system and yet as soon as they become surround speakers they flash green. Any help would be gratefully accepted.
