Please can you feature a  ‘disable the mic button’ on the Beam. It’s so annoying, I have 3 of these and the cleaner constantly turns the mics off.  

I accept it is not possible to stereo pair two Roams via Bluetooth. However, the Roam appears to handle Bluetooth and Wi-Fi simultaneously as I can receive a Bluetooth input from my Sony Bluetooth record deck and then group the roam with my other Sonos speakers via Wi-Fi.I would like to buy a second Roam and use two as a stereo pair with my Bluetooth deck. Can I do this? Will one of the Roams be able to simultaneously receive a Bluetooth input from the deck whilst working as a stereo pair with the second Roam via Wi-Fi?Logic says yes, but I’d rather not shell out another £179 if it doesn't work.

I have seen a couple of questions regarding the LED on the Sonos Amp - but I am confused …The Amp appears to be permanently on, which, in this day and age of power crises, seems a little environmentally irresponsible.  The unit remains quite warm to the touch, indicating power consumption even if the unit is not amplifying or playing anything.  If the central sensor is touched, the LED flashes and the unit then becomes cooler.  So what is the sensor doing in this case?What exactly is the point of the LED?  It doesn’t seem to indicate anything … line in status, power status  , anything …  The only use is perhaps to indicate where the touch sensor is in a pitch black room?It would be useful if there was a different colour for an active line-in signal or perhaps if the power amps were in standby mode ...I presume the only way to power it down is to pull the power lead or switch off at the wall?

Hi all, basically what the title says,If I look for a song using the main search function and select it either on the Artist or the Title tab, if I select More, there is the option to create a “Station”, which would play the song and similar ones but in a very limited fashion (no scrubbing, no going back to the previous song, not being able to see the playlist)However, if I search for a playlist of my own created in Apple Music, and pick a song from inside there, when I select More, there is no such option, I wonder why that is, what makes it differentThanks! 

Sonos and audio noob here. Just starting out with a Beam in the living (tv + music) and a One in the bedroom. My wife wants to keep the cd collection + a player, so I'm looking at Connect-ing the player.However, our current mini audioset has only headphone output, so now I'm wondering whether that's enough as input for the Connect (with an adapter cable), or whether I should look into getting a new cd player. And if so, what specs for the output connection? Dual tulip connectors?(Yes, I expect the cd player to have a limited lifespan after I introduce her to the joys of the Sonos controller--I've already ripped the entire cd collection to our music library. But for now, this is the path I'm on.)PS: Checking the Sonos site, they don't seem to advertise the Connect any longer. It's still for sale elsewhere though. Would that even be compatible with the new Beam/One I have?

Is it possible to mute the bleep that accompanies a tap on the volume control of the new Play 5?

Hello,I would like to upgrade from Sonos One to Home Cinema system using my eligibility for 30% discount. My question is whether I’ll be able to use my old Sonos One after the change os it will be deactivated by Sonos. Thank youJavier

Just back from iKEA to buy a bookshelf speaker for my garage, but they had run ouf of the black I wanted.When I asked when the speakers would be back in stock I was told that a new bookshelf and lamp are due for delivery in January or February 2022.I can find leaked details about the lamps design change, which I think looks good. However, I can find no details at all about the changes to the bookshelf speaker.Does anyone have any info on the new speaker?

I have some limitations on how I can run cables to my TV. I can connect a Sonos AMP, but not a Sonos ARC due to space limitations. Is it possible to connect a Sonos AMP to a TV via HDMI ARC, and then stream TV audio from the Sonos AMP to the Sonos ARC?

Hello to All,I am new to this Forum and would appreciate an expert input!  ;-)My Sonos sub bass is sounding In & out of Sync; as if the “bass” is delayed; few songs sound good but then the sub goes out of sync. So it is an intermittent issue. PS: this sub is wired to the home network as it is far away from the Sonos Amp. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I have a sonos beam and two ones set up as surround.  I have a “Proster 5x1 HDMI Switcher with Audio Extractor Support 4K 3D, HDMI Audio Converter with IR Remote, 3 Feet HDMI 1.4 Cable and 3.5mm Male to 2 RCA Female Stereo Audio Cable” that provides HDMI input for the chromecast and Toslink to the Beam.  Sometimes chromecasting youtube runs audio through all the speakers, but other times just the beam.  Is there a way to make it always play through all the speakers.

Haven’t even bought into SONOS but am SO close to doing so. One bit of information I have been unable to find concerns how power is managed. I’m specifically looking at the SONOS 5 (maybe the Move) to use as a system in my den, as a stereo pair. Once setup is it “always on”? That is, when I want to use it will I just select it in my device (any Apple device using AirPlay) and then play? Or are there power switches?

How long is the mounting bracket for the ARC?   Trying to figure total length and where the screws would be.  I have a cabinet that the TV is in.  The old “hole for your TV” idea.   Problem is the hole is not long enough to just put the ARC on it.   And the shelves sit in from the concrete hole.  Would you suggest putting the bracket on the shelf below it and just pulling that shelf out a bit?  I’m not sure how else to do it. 

I know there are a lot of other threads on this topic, but I seem to be right 'on the line' where it comes to determining the generation of amp I am looking at.I know gen1 amps have the mute button up until 2013.2013 to 2015 gen1 had the play/pause button.Sometime 2015 Gen2 came out.My question is, what is the cut in date for gen2? I am interested in buying a used Amp with a 1508 (August 2015) serial number. Is this far enough in 2015 to be a Gen 2?? Or could it still be a late production Gen 1?

what's the differences in functionality between s1 and s2 app?90% of my Sonos equipment works with S2 app but my 1st purchased AMP won't which is disappointing 

Can I connect my older Bose speakers to my Sonos Beam sound bar?

Hi recently bought a Beam gen 2 and LG C1. I’ve read other articles on the forum explaining the best settings for Dolby Atmos. However if I set ‘Digital Sound Output’ to “Pass Through” the sound is quiet. If I set this to “Auto” the Beam is much louder and my app still says it’s outputting Dolby Atmos. My question is am I getting a lesser version of Atmos by having Auto selected? also out of general curiosity why is the sound quieter with Pass Through selected? earc support is selected and Beam is plugged into HDMI port 2 on the C1

After not using my Sonos for an extended period, I tried to hook it back up to my system. I upgraded the speaker and my iPhone app, then spent hours trying to get it to find my music library, but no luck. Finally I went to my laptop and upgraded the Mac App there; it immediately found my library, then all I had to do was reboot the iPhone app and now both work. Note if you have multiple networks you have to be on the same network as the speaker, and it appears to only work on a 2.4Gb network.

I have just subscribed Amazon Music Unlimited and tried playing some UltraHD music on my system. The newer Sonos Amp played them just fine and there was the UltraHD badge. But my Connect:Amp only played the same album at HD. If I tried grouping the Amp and the Connect:Amp, then the badge changed from UltraHD to HD.However, according to this link, the Connect:Amp gen 2 does support UltraHD playback. I think my Connect:Amp is gen 2 because it runs the S2 app, and the manufacture date at its bottom is 1608.Any explanation or clarification is much appreciated.

HiI’m considering switching away from a Squeezebox infrastructure to Sonos.  I’ve found some answers contained within this site and FAQ style help pages.But one question remains…Can I turn off an alarm from the speaker itself? I don’t mind setting up alarms from the app but we don’t keep phones in the bedrooms and therefore would like the ability to switch off and/or snooze and alarm from physical buttons on a speaker.In addition, is it then possible to switch to random play of my Windows music library?Lastly, I don’t use voice services in the house, so that’s not a solution for me I’m afraid. 

I have always liked to use my soundbars when watching something worth the special sounds, but like to use the tv speakers when watching the mundane everyday stuff. It kind of makes watching films etc feel more special that way, however since hooking up the beam to a hdmi arc, I cannot tell my Sony tv to use tv speakers only because when I do it automatically goes back to the beam even when I turn off the auto switch features etc. Does anybody see a way around this? I can only assume that I may have to use optical, but if I get an Atmos tv soon then that would not allow Atmos would it? 

HiLooking  for some guidance. I have just expanded my Sonos System and have 6 Sonos one’s, two first generation and 4 Second generation in rooms around the house and they work great. I have a Stereo pair in the lounge and rest doted around the house.  I use airplay and since yesterday the new  addition with I added yesterday comes and goes in airplay list of speakers. The speaker  works fine with Sonos app with I use, I like the grouping in gives me. But airplay in the main fails to show the new addition. Just wondering if it down to airplay or something else. Thank you. 

Just bought a Roam for Christmas.  Connected it to my existing Sonos system but it would not play music from Spotify, Sonos app or bluetooth.  Tried several different iPhones but none would connect.  I eventually got it it to play by a hard reset but if I stop playing and re-start playback the Roam it makes a strange clicking noise and the volume resets to 15 and there is no music played.  Tried resetting again to factory setting and re-did the set up and the then the same thing happened.  Not too impressed with this device compared to all my other Sonos kit. Any suggestions welcome as so far this is a dead speaker in my Sonos system.

So for Christmas I got my wife a roam,  opened it Christmas Day and the problems began. It seems to reset or power on and off every 5 seconds. Music will play for ½ a second and volume automatically defaults to 15. Turn it up, back to 15 and get a blurb of music. White and orange light flashing constantly. Contacted CS determined that it was a faulty unit… so here we are what 3 weeks later finally get my 2nd roam and the same exact thing.  Very frustrating to pay so much money for a tiny little speaker and they don’t work right out of the box.  Everything else works flawlessly on my system.  Any ideas on my problem?? Anybody experienced this kind of failure 2 times in a row??  I’m about to just ask for my money back it’s kind of ridiculous.

It might be nice to have a warning if the line in input clips on the app. Maybe not the most common use case but if you switch input sources it will help pick the right line in level.
