Talk Sonos Products

I know this had been discussed in prior posts, however, I’ll broach the subject again - are there any reasonably priced options for a sub that can be leveraged within the Sonos ecosystem other than the Sonos Gen 3 sub?  Also, has there be any further discussion on offering a more entry level sub from Sonos?  $750 for a sub has got to prices a lot of customers out of the market, including myself.  

Hi all, My setup consists of two Symfonisk speakers, stereo paired, and a Sonos Port. The Port has a line in from a Behringer sound card. The card is fed by a Raspberry PI and also has an analog line-in signal from the TV.I have set the Port to Autoplay line-in. When I start a film on Netflix (Chromecast connected to TV), the port is activated and sound comes up within two seconds through the Symfonisk speakers, which is good enough.However, if there’s a silent passage in the film, sound gets deactivated and it may take 5 seconds to activate again when signal is detected. Looks like Autoplay gets interrupted after a couple of seconds with no sound. Is there a way to prevent this from happening, other than manually switching input via the Sonos app?

Just an opinion but I find it odd that Sonos does not use its full number updates for major capabilities and enhancements. Not a complaint just weird to me. Hoping for abig update such as its own voice control but maybe soon. 

I have a Bose Lifestyle 35 with outdoor speakers and I would like to replace it with a Sonos system.  I understand that Sonos doesn’t have bundles and has mix and match, but I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions.  It looks like the Arc soundbar is what I will be getting, but other than that I haven’t the foggiest of what else.  I’ll have the home theater in one room which I would surround sound, while in another room I would like speakers for music as well as outdoor speakers for music.  My current outdoor speaker wires are not very good and would either replace them or have wireless outdoor speakers.  I’d like to be able to play music via Alexa and Apple Music.

I have a Sonos Port hooked up to my Denon S710W AVR via both analog and digital (co-ax) connections.  I used the included cables that came with the Port to hook up the analog feed and a new shielded coax cable from Amazon Basics  to hook up the digital feed.  I’ve tested both variable and fixed line out settings and issues sound occurs in both setups.Heres the problem. The sound out of the digital connection is much harsher and more nasal sounding than the analog connection.  This is true whether the output is set to variable or fixed and true even when the receiver “Pure” mode (direct two channel mode, minimal processing).  The analog feed sounds softer and more appealing with a bit wider stereo soundfield.  When I switch on Dolby Digital surround (which is the way I like to listen when Im moving around doing things) things really get uglty on the digital side.  It sounds echo-ey and harsh in a way that the analog feed run through the same DD processing does not.  I made sure that any

I just added a Sonos Move to my Sonos home Wi-Fi system. I took the speaker away from my home, connected an iPhone to it via Bluetooth and performed a Zoom meeting. I wasn’t able to control the volume of the speaker via the side buttons so I tried to connect to it via the Sonos application for iOS. However, the application displayed a “WiFi isn’t connected” error. Is there a way to manage a Sonos Move via the Sonos application when it is connected via Bluetooth and a cellular data connection? Otherwise how can this issue of controlling the volume be resolved?

Why doesn’t the https://www.sonos.com/da-dk/shop/shelf-one-play1 offer wireless charging of mobiles put on the shelf?

Hi there,I have recently discovered Amazon Music Unlimited’s Atmos music offerings (as well as its Ultra HD). In my living room, I have a Beam Gen 2 + Connect Amp (S2) connected to some ceiling speakers acting as surrounds. If I play Atmos content to just this setup via Amazon Music on the Sonos App, “Atmos” is clearly displayed in the app showing that the content is, indeed, playing in Atmos. However, if I “group” our kitchen speakers (Play 1s) with the ones in the living room, the display changes to HD. Now I know that Play 1s max out at HD quality, but does this mean that the entire stream has downgraded to HD as a result of grouping? Or will the Living Room speakers continue to play in Atmos quality (despite what the display says)?I guess part of this answer depends on how the speakers and stream interfaces, and it’s beyond my understanding. I suspect the whole stream does indeed get downgraded to HD, which is a shame for those of us with open plan configurations, but would be grea

I've recently purchased a new Pioneer TX55JZ1000B tv and whilst I can connect through the app my phone for the volume it will not sync to allow me to adjust the volume on the remote as all my other TV's in the house so?I currently connect via a optical cable as that is the only option on my soundbar....any help would be appreciated. 

I am an amateur radio operator and when I operate on frequencies 4 mHz or below, my arc sounds the Alexa beep and the surround speakers make rapid drumming sounds (this is with the system off).  When the system is on, the volume will increase to maximum.  This occurs at very low transmitter power (10 watts RF out).  I called Sonos support and after about an hour and talking to two different people, they said they had never had this issue and that it was outside their support.  Any other hams have this issue?  I find no FCC acceptance stickers on the Arc, Sub or Surround speakers.  My transmitter is properly grounded (for RF suppression).  

I will be moving to Australia from Canada. I know we have different power cycles and I can use my Sonos equipment on their power but where can I buy the replacement power cords? Thanks for any info.  

I have Apple TV 4K and the Sonos Surround Set (ARC not Playbar). My TV is a Sony Bravia 4K (KD 55X8509C) from 2015.I know that I won't be able to get Dolby Atmos until I either upgrade my TV or buy an HD Fury Arcana.However, when I first got my Sonos set, I could get Dolby Digital 2.0 or 5.1 on Apple TV 4K (on Disney Plus, Netflix etc). Now, everything plays in Stereo PCM. I haven't changed any of the settings. I've used the same content as I did when I got DD2.0 and 5.1.Any ideas? What's going on?

Has anyone received their order placed on/around Boxing Day? 

Can an arc be installed vertically? 

Does Trueplay saves after pulling the plug of Sonos Arc? Or a retuning is required?  Asking the question as I had pulled the plug to switch my sonos arc off to reset it to “reactivate” the airplay. The app still shows the trueplay has been set though.  Thanks! 

We have been occasionally getting a buzzing sound like a doorbell ringing from our Kitchen Move. I have it set with an alarm in the morning to go off with Sonos Radio HD Mellow Morning. Once it starts it does not stop until I turn it off. Does anyone have any experience with this and how to fix. The same thing happened with our Roam when we lost power a ways back. If not, I will send a case in. Thanks in advance.

I've had to reset my mobile and as a result the section on "this mobile section" in browse has duplicate Albums with some of them empty. Is there a way of resetting these listings? 

I brought a Sonos one to add airplay 2 to my system, only to find that it would then not pair as a stereo pair to a Sonos 1. So I then brought a second one so I could get a stereo pair to use as surround sound. but now because there used as surround sound I get no option to use them as airplay 2. what the hell is wrong with Sonos. What is the point of disabling airplay when speakers are used as surround sound. Listen to music how you like is now what’s happening anymore. sonos sort this out and allow tv and music to be on separate apps. 

Hi, as the title suggests a full release number bump is pretty big so I’m concerned that even with that there has been no mention of either the 7.1 to 5.1 downmix feature or the LPCM low volume bug. @Corry P can you please confirm if either of these things are still being looked at? 

Hey folks, ex-Sonos engineer here! I love what you've been doing to improve the UX after changing the router password or the router itself. Great work! I don't need to carry an Ethernet cable when I travel with Sonos anymore.My feedback: I have many Soni, and usually travel with one or two. When I get to my destination, I go to Manage Networks. In the "Select a product to change its network settings." screen, it took me quite a while to figure out why it was asking about my Beam (see pic) which was at home, rather than either device I had with me. I was super-frustrated for an embarrassing amount of time, until I realized it was a carousel of all my devices, and I could swipe to the one I wanted.The thin grey line with an black indicator at the bottom isn't enough of an affordance. Please make it more obvious that there's stuff to the right!Thanks,​​​Seth 

I have a Sonos Amp with KEF LS50 Metas with the KC62 subwoofer for stereo listening. Previously I had Dali Opticon 1 MKII on the Sonos Amp and found them muddy. I’m impressed with the LS50 Metas + KC62. This combo beats my Sonos Five Stereo Pair for music.  I’m curious how others have tuned the KC62 to match the LS50 Metas. I found the KC62 is slow to turn on at low volumes with the Amp sub at 0. I originally started with the KC62 volume at 3 o’clock and the Amp at 0. It was far too much sub gain. I dialed back the KC62 to 12 o’clock but had the aforementioned slow turn on issue. I upped the Amp gain through the S2 app to +8 and dialed back the KC62 to 9 o’clock.  This seemed to work well at volume 15, but at 20 the low end response was too strong. I’ve kept the KC62 EQ at Room. Phase 0.  Anyone else with this setup tune in the KC62? It would be great to hear settings and placement tips. 

Is there any way to have different levels of surround volume when streaming Atmos and normal stereo tracks?  At present I listen to music with my rear speakers set to ‘full’ and the surround volume set at +5, however, when I’m playing atmos mixes the music becomes unbalanced as I’ve gone from essentially 2 stereo speakers turned up a bit to the surround channels overpowering a different mix.  if there isn’t a workaround then what’s the possibility of a separate option to be added so that atmos music surrounds can default to a different volume than stereo ‘full’ surrounds? I know it’s a minor thing but it’s quite annoying to have a mixed list and have to alter levels for individual tracks manually, especially as there’s no good way to not play atmos versions when there are any. 

I am using the Sonos SL for rear’s with my Sonos Arc, but I don’t get a lot of sound out of  the two SL. Can this be improved.I am using the system for tv and sometimes for music..

If Sonos produced a screen type interface that was dedicated to “what is playing” on my player. it would also be a master control. hang it on the wall like a control panel.  I like browsing album artwork and being able to see track names at a glance.  peace.   

Hi,As a new customer looking at my first purchase, just trying to decide on which option of the following.1.Arcor2.Beam Gen 2 + One SLx2.I have listened to the beam and the arc in the shop and can tell the difference but was unable to listen to 2xOne SL speakers with the beam to make a comparison.
