Yeah I know.Looking at upgrading a chunk of hardware. My understanding of S2 (as opposed to S1) is the main benefits I would get are:SMBv3 support Hi-Res/HD (which I’m not likely to use) A platform that is mostly the same as S1 but works A chunk of new hardware replacing 16-year old hardware, including warranty Potential of S2 platform development over standing stillAs I would be upgrading from v8.4 I would lose 3 CR100s but regain Spotify streaming. Mandatory UpgradesI have 4 ZP100s, A ZP80 & a Play 5 that would need upgrading to support S2, all of which are eligible for 30% discount. And cost me £2,585. Optional UpgradesI also have 5 Play1s, a Playbar and a Sub that are all Gen1 but are S2 compatible to my knowledge. To upgrade these to the latest they are eligible for a 15% discount. This would cost me a further £2,246. (There aren’t any multi-Amp packages so I can’t double down on the 30% discount but it would make more sense to order arc/sub/one with 30% off and pay list on an

Hello! It seems once you connect a Sonos Five to a home theater setup you are no longer able to initiate auto play through line in. This seems like a weird software issue that could be fixed pretty easily. I understand most people hooking up their home theater probably have another place they setup to listen to records but I would love to be able to use my turntable when I’m not watching TV without having to unpair my fives from the home theater group. Any suggestions (beyond buying a port because I know that’s the easiest solution)? 

Hi allA relative has asked me to look into getting wireless speakers for her house.  She listens to classical and pop/rock so will likely be set up by me to use Spotify.She has 2 small rooms - one living room, and one dining room, which aren’t separated by a door, rather a walk through arch.I was thinking of getting:LIVING ROOM - 3 Sonos One’s - 2 in a stereo pair behind the sofa, and one facing you when sitting down.  Would that be better than just the stereo pair.  (Presume 2 stereo pairs would be overkill) DINING ROOM (not used regularly) - 2 Sonos One’s in a stereo pair.  (Dining table in middle of room). Does that make sense?  Total newbie here!

I’m traveling with a Sonos Roam and would like to have it available in S2 app connected to WiFi network instead of on Bluetooth via AirPlay.  Is it possible to connect the Roam to S2 app … even if I need to create a new account and setup?  Or is there another way to stream Spotify or Apple Music directly to the speaker instead of via Bluetooth / AirPlay from my phone?  

I have my Sonos Beam connected to my Dish Hopper and TV via HDMI.Suddenly yesterday, after I played some music on the Sonos system via Airplay from my Mac (iTunes), my Dish remote stopped controlling the volume on the Dish_TV-Sonos setup. The other controls on the Dish remote, but the volume and mute controls do nothingHow can I restore control of volume  to my Dish  Hopper remote? TIA Caroline

I can’t find all Finnish radio stations in Sonos. For example the traditional Jouluradio is missing. What is the reason?

The tv does not all Fixed Audio Out does anyone know how to configure this tv to provide level volume output across all sources through Beam without turning tv volume levels very high ?

Hi - any chance I can set-up the Arc with 2x Sonos Move? Any tips / tricks / updates would be massively appreciated. 

I have purchased a 4K laser projector (Optoma UHZ65LV) and also an Apple TV 4K.  In common with other people on these forums I want to create a Dolby Atmos surround sound set up using Sonos kit.  I currently have purchased the SUB and two One SLs…..    so I will need to fill this in with an Arc and another two One SLs I assume. On to the questionNow from reading the forums I understand that when using Apple Airplay 2 to connect to Sonos you lose all the Dolby Atmos information.  You just get stereo.  So can someone explain - given that constraint - how do I achieve my desired setup ?   Bearing in mind that in a large room you have the projector at one end.  Connected to the Apple TV via HDMI.   And then at the other end of the room you have the screen and this is (obviously) where the Arc will be installed.  So a wired solution would be quite a stretch …I am technically competent, but I am a complete newbie to cinema / surround sound / etc.  So go easy on me :-).  Appreciate any help 

Does any one know, if a new Sonos Arc speaker is about to release any time soon ??On the Sonos.com ( DK) side, it states that the product is currently ordered as a backorder ( restordre ) . So that’s a bit strange, since that usually happens before a new product launch.. Just curious 👀

My Google-fu is failing me here, I can’t find where to subscribe to Sonos Radio anywhere in my profile, is the subscription product available in Australia? 

I just bought a Sonos Roam and regret the decision. Seriously it does not work. Bluetooth volume curs out. Then will not increase in volume Scratchy notices. Absolutely hopeless. Took it on holiday and just a waste of time. Don't buy this product. I have 20 other speakers with Sonos and all (mostly) fine. This product is rubbish.  

HelloI am planning on purchasing a refurbished sub gen 3 and since this is my first time buying refurbished from Sonia direct, I had a question about the box. Do the refurbished items come in an exact box that a brand new would come in? Is there any indication on the box (I.e certified replacement) or any other wording that would differentiate it from a brand new non refurbished so is product? 

Canadian living in China for the last 8 years now.  After a lot of research I decided to purchase a sound bar due to space restrictions living in China.  In Canada I always used component AC3 systems but I have read that SB tech has come a long way.  I recently purchased a 75r645 TCL which i am super happy with and its equipped with eARC so Sonos Acr and 2x One XL seems like the best choice.  Due to likely protectionism taxes this unit is much more expensive (12,000 rmb) than other countries in China so it was a difficult choice over the MUCH cheaper Samsung HW-Q950A.  Getting it up and running was not at all easy and a poor experience.  Having the eARC and ability to control day to day operation with the TV remote was a big deciding factor over the Samsung.  After 3 hours of playing with configurations randomly I finally got it working but the input lag and screen update for the remote is long and annoying.  If this was a cheap product or old tech I would accept this…. but not conside

I heard from a friend of mine that technically, S2 is possible on S1 hardware - and all it takes is for Sonos to enable it on your system (which seemingly they can do remotely, presumably though your log on account).I’m told that if you have a big enough setup (ie. you’ve spent enough money with them) and make enough of a fuss, they’ll enable S2 for you. I have no idea if there are limitations once done, but S2 isn’t wildly different from S1 anyway, so probably not.Anyone know any more about this?

Why does my system echo when rear speakers are used?

Hello all, I would like to add a xmas radio, but it doesnt work :(Would somebody be so kind and check if link: https://stream.funradio.sk/xmas128.mp3 works after adding to the sonos radio?Thank you very much

Hi! I have the latest Sonos 5, a Move, two Roams and the Sub. My question is if I want to plug a turntable in via Aux socket into the 5, will it only play on the 5 or will it play on all speakers? 

Hi,For many years now (since 2011?) I have been using Sonos Connect:AMP to play music in my study, on or via an iMac, with separate loudspeakers.The Connect:AMP is wired directly to a router (wired to the main modem/access point) in another room; the other Connect:AMP ethernet port is used to wire to the computer.I have always had problems with unstable wifi in this room, so after many experiments with extra routers I went for cabled only, also to make the most of the fast internet connection.This cabled set-up has worked perfectly for many years, but over the past two months or so (can’t remember exactly) I get Sonos dropouts constantly when loading/scrolling (heavier) webpages.I have had the same 2019 40Gb iMac with SSD drive for almost a year and made no recent changes in the system.I have reset the whole chain a few times but the problem persists. It occurs with all music, whether I use Sonos radio or Spotify or play music from my own library.I have not encountered anything similar

Unable to complete true play with my device, telling me it’s not supported

I just got an iPhone 13 and TruePlay is not supported.I also bought an iPad Air 4 and nearly a year later, the feature hasn’t been added yet. But Sonos sure is happy to tell me to buy all its new products instead.How long until this feature is added? Anyone taking bets? How many dollar bills do I have to cram into the HDMI port?

Is there an equivalent to Sonosequencr for Android?  I had it on my old work iPhone, but no longer work there and my personal device is an Android.  My wife has an ancient work iPhone so I can at least still use Trueplay, but she doesn’t want to install paid for apps.  Is there an Android equivalent that’ll allow me to stereo (or surround) pair dissimilar speakers?  Currently I’ve got my Playbar, Play:1 and Symfonysk set up as my surround system I think, but I can’t remember, and I may want to tweak that at some point in the future.   EDIT:  wasn’t clear enough I don’t think - it’s to allow me to stereo pair (a Symfonysk and Play:1 in my case) or configure dissimilar speakers as surround (so adding these 2 as rear surrounds to my Playbar) - not just simply playing across multiple different speakers. 

Hi,I like a minimalist look and therefore am trying to figure out if I can only use Sonance in ceiling speakers with Sonos Amps for my TV audio (maybe add a subwoofer). I would like to NOT use a soundbar or other speakers, does this work?Our house has 5 in ceiling places speakers close to the TV wired to an AV room:one in the center right on top of the TVone to the left and one to the right on top of the tv two a bit further back behind the tv is a Samsung Neo 85” thanks for any suggestions,T

My 2,300-CD music collection is on a network-attached storage (NAS) drive labeled E:\Music Library.  It is a 1-Terabyte external Hard Drive (HD) dedicated solely to music files.  I designated that Path in the Sonos Music Library Settings. By and large, I can play what I want to hear and create Playlists.  But: Q1: on the NAS HD, Windows Explorer shows “Van Morrison” for the file folder with that artist’s CDs.  But, when I see that artist’s listings in Sonos, it shows “van morrison” rather than Van Morrison.  What the?  Where can I edit the Sonos file directory to fix this silly discrepancy?  Q2:  using Windows Explorer, I moved the CD “Easy Pieces” FROM the “Lloyd Cole” directory TO the “Lloyd Cole & The Commotions” directory.  However, Sonos insists on still showing that CD as a Lloyd Cole release.  What the?  I DID do “Update Music Library Now” in Sonos with no resulting impact.  Do I need to change a Sharing Setting for my File Management fixes to be seen by Sonos?  Is there a “

My current living room setup consists of a Playbar, and a Play:1 / Symfonysk stereo pair, I think set up as a surround setup in Sonosequencer (but I can’t remember, as I no longer have an iPhone).  The Playbar is connected to my TV via optical, and the living room setup is mostly used for TV audio.   My room isn’t enormous.  I’m wondering if changing my Playbar for a Beam v2 would be an upgrade, downgrade, or just different?  Despite mines being pretty new, the Playbar does feel like it’s being quickly superseded.  I can’t justify an Arc (feel I’d be better getting a Sub of somekind before I went to an Arc if I was spending that kind of money). I know the general consensus with the Beam Gen 1 was that the Playbar was still markedly better, but is that still the case with the Gen 2?
