Hi all , the hdmi cable that comes with the beam gen 2 , is it an ethernet hdmi cable ?? The eArc hdmi input says it needs a hdmi cable with ethernet , thanks 

Anyone else pissed that Sonos doesn’t include a power adapter w/ the roam?   Before you tell me that everyone has a bunch of extra 10v adapters lying around the house, I’ll tell you that I don’t.  

Hello,Love Sonos for 10+ years. The ability to set a schedule for night sound would be a big, simple improvement. It ends up getting left on accidentally. If anyone can influence that I would appreciate it! Thanks. 

Hi.I have a Sonos system in my house use by all the family members (using both by App and by PC).I now would like to implement a second Sonos system in my working office, but I do not want that my family members can access the Sonos Office location.Is it possible? In other words, can I create a two separate system that only myself can manage both, whilst my family can continue to access only the house system?many thanks.

Good afternoon,I want to make sure i set up the sonos properly. Help would be appreciated.I want to set up 6 in ceiling speakers to be used for music (2 of which will be in the living room in the rear)My questions are as follows:Will I need more than one amp? Can i use optimal cable to connect these to amp or is RCA preferable? If so, which brand is best; I want to use the 2 in the living room for surround in the future- is it possible to do this? I want to be able to use it for surround when i want and for music with paired with the other speakers when i want to. How can i do this?Thank you so much!

I have a very basic, traditional surround setup in my basement. My Tv is wall mounted with a single HDMI out from the A/V receiver to the TV hidden in the walls so no wires exposed.  My gear is all sitting in a cabinet beneath the TV. My back speakers no longer work and I’m unclear if it’s a wiring problem or because my old Denon amplifier is failing. Replacing wires is a non-starter, and if I have to replace the amp I’m thinking maybe I just go wireless. I have lots of Sonos speakers all around my house and they’re great, so I understand how Sonos works but I’m confused about what I would need to buy or if it will even work.Currently, I have 4 components (Cable, Apple TV, Western Digital Media Player, Wii) connected to my home theatre receiver and a universal remote that controls the receiver input to switch the audio and video on the TV.  The amplifier is a Pioneer VSX-1019AH.  TV is an LG NANO86UNA (55 inch) that supports Dolby ATMOS and eArc.  Simple….Question is: how do I replace

Is it normal that a Play 5 gen1 speaker reach end of life in 5 years 2 months?

No poseo iphone ni dispositivo con ios, y mi pregunta es si pido prestado uno y configuro la barra con trueplay, y despues desenlazo con ios y sigo utilizando android, se queda configurada la bara?, gracias 

Can I use my Roam in a steam shower? I’m a wheelchair user and am having a roll-in shower built equipped with a steam-bath. I would of course place the speaker opposite of the steam nozzle. I’ve used cheaper Bluetooth speakers designed for the shower in the past and they worked OK. One speaker’s  suction cup released, it fell and stopped working. The other speaker was just not worth listening to. My original idea was to use the Roam in the shower to make a phone call in case of an emergency as I would with the Google Mini. That option is not available. I haven't really used the Roam in my present shower. It is equipped with a steam-bath but, s too small to steam in for a long period of time.  Regular exposure to steam might be asking too much. thanks

Album art disappeared after Sonos update, my music library is on a WD my cloud mirror and has been for over 5 years using S1 & S2 with no problems but after Sonos update lots of art work was missing Sonos advised me to remove my library and reload it, still lots of art work missing but now lots of albums are indexing wrong ID tags have been perfect for 10 years with Sonos all correct in iTunes and Windows 10 but Sonos splits albums that have been correct for years after speaking to Sonos they can’t help and they don’t know why it is doing it any help please.

Is there a way to quickly level all the rooms/zones in a group without having to adjust the volume of each one individually? For example, I start playing music and select “Everywhere” and the volumes of each speaker/zone will be at a different level after their last individual uses. Then when I adjust the group volume they adjust proportionally from their individual starting points. I’d like a way to quickly normalize them so they are all at “volume level 15” rather than 11, 22, 19 & 28. If there isn’t a way, there should me (in my opinion)

Hi I’m curious what people think of the mini controller ? It can be displayed in two windows sizes but I find both sizes are too big and much unpractical because it always lay somewhere on your desktop and will eat on your other apps. I wish it could be minimized neatly in the task bar with just the volume and the cue forward / backward or back / next buttons. No need to display the album cover picture this eat too much space. Anyone think the same ?

I have a sonos playbar and a sonos beam. I want to send the signal from the tv to the soundbar that I select. I do not want to split the signal between both I want to choose which soundbar I send the sound source to. I have looked for a toslink switch (playbar does not have HDMI) that would be one in and then select via a remote either sound bar but I have not been able to find one. Everything I find the switch selects the input and sends it to a single output. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated

I’m fully-committed to Sonos and very happy with the products for the most part. One thing that’s driving me nuts is how little sound comes out of the ceiling speakers when playing music.  I have Sonos brand ceiling speakers, AMP, Arc, Sub in my living room and when I play music, I can’t hear anything coming from the ceiling speakers. If I unpaid them, the sound is great.  They’re in Full Mode and cranked up to 15 in settings.  any suggestions?

There’s already a conversation for this, but it’s a few years old.It’d be really neat if we could customise the crossfade on Sonos - ie increase/decrease the crossfade length, and (this is maybe a stretch goal) enabling it for some playlists, while disabling for other playlists. I find the current crossfade length isn’t really useful, and would love to be able to increase it :)

I got Samsung QE65QN85A paired with new ARC. I have to set the volume at around 60% for a normal listening.Is it normal for the arc? my previous samsung soundbar was much louder. submitted diagnostics 2090418864

I have read that Stereo PCM is a uncompressed stereo channel and therefore I am curious as to how the Arc soundbar sometimes diverts sound to the surround speakers.It also happens when playing Dolby Digital 2.0I thought that only when playing Multichannel or Dolby Digital 5.1 channels was this possible?Perhaps someone could explain 🤔 Cheers 🍻 

Can anyone confirm that the only way to wire connect:amp speakers for surround with an Arc is to have the arc hardwired with ethernet to the router or a connect amp?  it seems to defeat a main benefit of sonos wireless capabilities.  this is from an article on the subject. I am deciding on an Arc home theater and it will require extra wiring if the article is accurate. Thanks Wire your Connect:Amp and home theater speakerYour home theater speaker and Connect:Amp must be wired in one of the following configurations:Both the Sonos home theater speaker and Connect:Amp are wired to the router with an Ethernet cable.   The Sonos home theater speaker is wired to the Connect:Amp with an Ethernet cable and another Sonos product is wired to the router.

Love my Sonos one SL speakers without microphone for security reasons.Is there a Sonos Beam without microphones as well?  If not can you kind folks please add it to your wish list?  

Can anyone tell me what is supposed to be included under the “My Music” heading within the Apple Music service in the Sonos app? I assumed it would show me music that I’ve added to my Library from within the native Apple Music app, but it’s empty (all sections within My Music are empty — artists, albums, playlists, etc). All other aspects of Apple Music that the Sonos app supports work fine. 

Hello, ...I just saw that in the Sonos S2 (13.4.1) application on macOS, in the Preferences –> Music Library –> Music Library Settings, in “My music folders on Sonos”, we could point to several folders . In my case, and since I have a Sonos system, I specified a “Music” folder located on my Synology NAS.My question: is the limitation to 65,000 files imposed by Sonos calculated on a single shared folder or on all the shared folders?...If so, it could blow up this incomprehensible limitation of Sonos!…If not, is this limit 65000 units or 65536 units (2 to the power of 16)?…Finally, does this limit take into account folders and image files (cover)?…Thank you for your answers...   ;-)

Hello, I’m looking for a way to lock my Apple Music account with a password so no one else on the Sonos account can use it. The issue isn’t people on the account but people on my personal Apple Music. Is there a way to password protect personal music streaming accounts? 

Question  withdrawn 

Hi, can anyone please help with connecting a pair of sonos fives to my tv? I know you can plug a 3.5 jack into the back of the speaker but my tv does not have that sort of connection. Is there any way to go around this as I want to be able to play for example youtube videos through my sonos five speakers.
