Talk Sonos Products

Other than the quality of sound and assortment of apps, what real services are provided for listeners? It’s a shame the list does not go on, and simply ends there. It’s a product that doesn’t allow use without Wi-Fi and doesn’t have an option for headphones. I’m proud to have persuaded fellow friend from indulging in the same misadventures I have when it comes to buying constrained speakers. Why have rules or limitations on sound?

Why does sonos have such limitations to uses with the device? Other than the quality of sound and the assortment of apps, there is truly no reason to by a product that doesn’t allow connectivity without internet and can’t even connect to a pair of headphones. I’m glad to have persuaded fellow friend to avoid purchasing this product -- as I so deceivably did.Goodbye sonos, a cautionary tale for any fools willing to buy such a foolish product

Hi! I’m a music teacher with a Smart Board with wimpy speakers.  Can I connect to my Beam with S/PDIF?  3.5mm?  HDMI OUT (I don’t know if this port is ARC.). Thoughts or experience? Thanls!

How can I listen to Qboz in Sonos in Brazil?

Hello and thank you for allowing me to join the group!!   I am looking to purchase a Portable Blue tooth speaker. I have narrowed my choices between the Sonos Roam and the JBL Charge 5. I am torn between the two. I really like the versatility of the Roam but am not impressed with the reviews about the battery life, sound quality, inability to connect , soundstage, and distortion and higher volumes. The Charge 5 seems like a better choice regarding these aspects but it lacks all the possible features of the Roam. I really like the AirPlay feature of the Roam but if it is troublesome, I would be very frustrated with the Roam.    I was hoping for some guidance and input from anyone who would offer some advice in which may be the better choice.  Thank you so much for any help!! 

Hello, I have a Simfonisk frame speaker and I am interested in use as a speaker for a microphone, ..... there is any microphone that I can use with this speaker?? Any app?? Do you sell any wifi microphone that I can hook up with this wifi speaker?? I will appreciate your help please.Thanks

I've just bought and set up a new sonos Arc, every time I try to turn the volume up it resets to 15%.I've been through all the settings, loudness is on night mode is off, I've checked volume limit, that's set to 100%, this happens on all sources, tv, music streaming, blu Ray player, I'm not sure what to do, is this a return item 😢  I hope not.Any help greatly appreciated I've submitted a diagnostic number 149572032

It was talked about this product, if it is as described in the leaks, being a good secondary/small tv as well as potentially a rear surround instead of Ones. However, I am wondering if it would be a good computer speaker as well you would just need an optical to headphone jack converter which would be wildly available. Thoughts?

In my Sonos app i have a connect:Amp, a Play:1, a Move, a Sub and an Amp registered. However when I log onto sonos web it says no products registered. From a daily usability aspect I do not think this matters. But I am unable to benefit from Sonos upgrade discounts because it get the message that I have no Sonos products eligible for upgrade discount.How do I register my Sonos products on sonos web?Thanks

Hi guys, I am a fan of both Sonos and Soundtrackyourbrand. One of the cool features in SYB is the smooth scheduling option. any chance to see this working when playing through the Somos app? Thanks Toller

Yandex Music got disabled in the Sonos app and turned my Sonos devices into bricks. No announcements, nothing...just a message that the service is no longer available.I understand that you want to support Ukraine. I get it and there are lots of better ways to do it,  but that has nothing to do with music. Yandex wasn’t even sanctioned by EU nor US.I loved sound of Sonos from the first time i heard it and i even purchased the Beam without checking that it can’t work over wi-fi/bluetooth.

Hi, I have a Sonos Beam and two Play:1s connected to a Samsung TV in our living room. I also have a Sonos Connect connected to a turntable in the living room, and when I want to listen to that I’ll group it with the Sonos Beam so the music plays through that and the Play:1s.The problem is that when I then ungroup the Beam from the Connect to use the Beam with the TV again, my Samsung TV no longer recognises it. I usually end up have to unplug all of the HDMI inputs to the TV and plugging them back in again, starting with the Beam. This is a bit of a pain as the TV is on a wall bracket and it’s not easy to get at the HDMI sockets at the back of the TV.Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening, and if there’s a way to reconnect the TV and the Beam without unplugging everything? Turning them off and on again doesn't seem to work.Thanks!

I finally found a work around for playing music on my android phone on Sonos speakers.  I was dissatisfied with using the Sonos app because: 1) Sonos does not sort folders or artists alphabetically (making it extremely difficult to locate a particular artist among 600+); and 2) the Sonos equalizer is too simple (one knob for bass - one knob for treble). The solution is remarkably simple: install the  BubbleUPNP and cast your favorite android mp3 player app, podcast app, or other android audio stream.  I have seen numerous forum inquiries about this issue, but none of the responses have descibed this simple solution. I am so delighted that I can now play music from my phone to Sonos speakers with total ease. 

Hi, My Sonos Move is connected to my windows 10 laptop using bluetooth. Everything works fine, I can play movies with VLC and hear sounds, listen to music etc. UNTIL I launch my browser (chrome but same problem with edge).For example if i launch a video on youtube, while the video is playing I have all the sounds of my computer with the sonos move, but if I pause the video, I won’t hear any other sounds coming from my computer. That means that if I’m watching something with VLC and i pause a youtube video, i have to close my browser, disconnect and reconnect the sonos move via bluetooth to the laptop to be able to hear the sounds from VLC again.I think it can be due to some controls done in youtube or netflix websites, but i’m not sure how to fix it. Any ideas ? Thanks

Playlists are no longer showing up on the My Sonos tab of the app. Yet I can add tracks to my playlists and they all show up in that dialogue. How do I get playlist back on the My sonos tab?

My system works fine, hardware and Sonos apps (everything is up to date), except this notice/message appears now and then very briefly when Sonos app/controller on my Windows 10 computer is started: "You need to set up at least one Sonos speaker to get the music started. Open the Sonos app on a mobile device to continue". Two buttons: "Get the mobile app" and "More options" It disappears very fast and the Sonos controller opens normally as usual and works fine. Is something wrong?

A little background information.  My current setup is a sonos arc, sonos gen 3 sub, sonos amp powering speakercraft Crs6 roof speakers.  I have sonos in ceiling speakers (purchased before I bought the house the setup is in) and found I have a mounting depth issue for the ceiling speakers.  The sonos ceiling speakers need 4.75” depth and I have 4”.  I am very handy with wood working and could make trim rings to drop down the ceiling speakers 3/4” but I guess my question is: is it even worth the trouble?  Are the sonos in Ceiling speakers going to be worth it for the true play tuning or should I just get a different high end lower profile roof speaker?

So I got ARC, Sub3 and rear speakers to run Atmos sound, but as pleased I am, I have been wondering that how big can build around this system?ARC is taking care of most of front, side and ceiling channels, but can I integrate to this system dedicated Side and height speakers if I want to, like One SL or Roam?And is there possible to use Ikea Symphonisk speakers integrated to this setup?

I was getting Dolby digital plus 5.1 (as it was showing in the Sonos app) while watching Netflix and prime video contents when I put the digital audio out settings on my Hisense TV to RAW. Since today morning it’s showing just Dolby Digital 5.1 rather than Dolby digital plus. But I couldn’t feel any difference in the audio quality. But how to make sure if I am getting actually Dolby digital plus 5.1. By the way the product I own is beam gen2.

Is it chuffing possible to have a clear and clean answer from Sonos tech or managers to understand WHY it is not possible to control SONOS volume with Mac keyboard keys but you have to go through several more clicks to invoke the Sonos controller????? What is the heck with you Sonos guys… why don’t you make it possible like it was on older systems??? I have checked the forums and you have always found a sneaky way not to plainly answer.I think it is about time you put the money where your mouth is!!! I am utterly annoyed.

I downloaded above app to my IPad.  Went to Browse/clicked on YouTubeMusic.  Screen shows up says no selections are available.   How do I add a selection to you tube music part of the Sonos App? 

Is there any use in adjusting speaker distance after trueplay? To be able to adjust the speaker distance you have to turn trueplay off, then do the adjustments, for so turning the trueplay back on. But after this is done, the speaker distance is grayed out. So I wonder if doing it this way will effect the sound, or are you just back to your original truplay distance?

I notice recently when I  change the volume My screen  on my iPad or iPhone dim slightly for a few brief seconds. Is that normal or if I done something wrong. Thank you

Hi, I hope someone have had similar issues and found a solution. I have a Sonos Roam connected with four Ikea Symfonisk speaker. The problem I am having is when I connect eg my phone with the Roam to play music via Bluetooth and streaming to the Ikea speaker, the Ikea speaker frequently stutter, they stop playing for 1s every 1-5 minutes (not the Roam). I have updated all products and tried to reset the Roam (also Symfonisk s) a couple of times and I have set the Routers Wifi channel to a different than that of the Roam. Also at some point I somehow figured to configure the Synfonisks WM to 0 (afasik the Roam can not use WM:0 this is always WM:1). After I reconfigured them, the problem was not present, directly after and for maybe another day. Thereafter (since 2 month) the problem is present again and always. I don't have any problems when playing Sonos Radio (TuneIn) an all speakers (incl. the Roam).  Does someone have a similar setup and has the same problem (or not)? Is there anyth
