We have Sonos home config with several of the older generation of devices (Play:1, Play:3, and Soundbar). We'd like to make these easier to access from our Apple devices, so am contemplating buying e.g. a Sonos ONE based on the claim that this will enable AirPlay to control all the speakers. However posts like these ~3 years definitely suggest that the exact operating functionality and compatibility was not clear:How will extending AirPlay work Access to AirPlay 2 when using One as surround speakrSince it's been 2+ years since this was released, I'm hoping to now understand how this will works and (most importantly) any limitations or "gotchas" we should be ware of (e.g. potentially relative to speaker positioning, models, or grouping). For example:Will this work if I'm closest to one of the existing speakers, potentially out of range from the new Sonos ONE? Will it work if the speakers are part of a group? What if they are not part of a group? Will this work if the speakers are playin

two months since Apple’s iPhone 13 release and Trueplay is still not available to these devices. We all know techinical difficulty is not that hard, so the question is - are Sonos and Apple’s relationship that bad now?

Hi all,recently bought an Sony 65 inch X90J and are now looking to add a sound setup.Our TV-room is in the basement, height to ceiling is about 6,9 feet. The room is L-shaped and the TV is around the corner like the picture below. The distance from wall where tv stand to next wall where sofa is are about 10,5 feet. The totalt width is about 20 feet.Now we want a good all round setup without spending to much (ie sub, soundbar and rears). I am looking at either Arc alone, Beam gen 2 alone or Beam gen 2 with Ikea Symfonisk as rear. Given the room layout which option do you think will do best? 

Hi. To start, I have the full setup with the Arc paired with the two SL’s and the sub. I’ve had this setup for about two months now. While watching a movie last night I could have sworn I heard something funky in a left to right audio pan on a scene. Because of which I fired up channel/panning tests on YouTube and one Netflix. Every front left/right test is REVERSED! When left/right rear speaker tests run they are correct accordingly. I am absolutely baffled. I almost want to believe the left/right channels were wired reversed when being assembled in production. Seeing how there is no way to change the channels via software, what am I supposed to do?

Sonos Connect S2 devices (and I assume Port) seem to be down sampling all HD data to 44.1khz  (e.g. 24/48 khz local FLACs) through the digital out (e.g. Coaxial) to external DACs.  i.e. you cant get a HD digital signal out of your Sonos kit !!I cant see the bit-depth on my DAC, so unsure if this is also being downgraded to 16 bit (but assume 16/44.1).I assume this is the same for  streamed services also (e.g. Qobuz, Amazon HD etc.) being digitally downgraded to 16 / 44.1.Whats the point??!!!   This would be surprising in 2015 . . . . .   but 2021 !!!    I have had cheap Android STB for the last 10 years that digitally passthrough (up to 24/192, DSD files etc.).  Even services like HEOS etc. will send an untouched digital bit signal to the Receiver / DAC. Can this option please be added (I understand coax, optical are bandwidth limited - but even 24/192 Stereo should be OK).   i.e. digital pass-through, or sampling at the original source rate at least! Include it as an option please!   

Hoping someone could advise on what the depth (front to back) of the flat portion of the Sonos Arc is? Thank you. 

Hi. Sonos rocks. But I keep loosing wifi to my speaker while in my home bar. It’s not that far from the router but I can’t bring either any closer to each other. I’m fitting a mesh system to my house. Will the TP link deco M9 work ok with it. 

I intend to wall mount a 85 inch Samsung Frame TV into a large room with ceiling mounted Sonos front and rear speakers at an elevation of 11.5 feet. Obviously a clean look is what I am looking for so I would like to conceal a subwoofer if you recommend it . Any recommendations on ceiling mounted subwoofer or concealment as well as equipment and distances. TV viewing area is about 12 by 12 feet at a distance of about 10 feet from tv wall.

Hi all I have a Sonos Arc and subwoofer gen 3 and I paired my Play two Play 1s that I have had for several years as the 2 rear surrounds.  Am I shortchanging myself by not using the Sonos ones that are newer or will the sound be the same.  Additionally what would be a better sionos speaker back there short of Sonos 5 which is very expensive Thank you 

I have older Sonos speakers that aren’t compatible with the updated controller. I’ve figured out how to have the app on my phone stop asking me to update. But every time I open the controller on my laptop, I’m asked if I want to update the app/controller and I have to say “Not Now.” But I’d love to say, “Stop asking me about this because you’ve gone on and left me here with your old tech and when these speakers die, maybe I’ll buy new ones that are compatible with your update. But until then, my hands are tied. And you won’t shut up about it. And it’s making me hate you.” So… little help?

Hello all...looking in to buying the Sonos turntable and just wanting to know what I would need other than my speaker setup that I already have. My current setup is Beam, Sub, 3 1’s gen. 2 , roam and travel speakers. 

Bonjour à tous.Le système que j’ai trouvé et dont je suis très content est le suivant :Deux enceintes FIVE de part et d’autre de mon canapé, en stéréo Une enceinte MOVE devant moi Ce qui, quand je suis assis sur mon canapé, ou debout pour danser devant, forme un triangle très performant, dont on est soit sur le milieu du segment entre les deux FIVE, soit au milieuCette configuration me paraît parfaite pour chez moi, le son englobe toute la pièce et est comme je l’aime, profond et fin.Comme déjà évoqué sur ce forum, je souhaiterais acheter des platines vinyles et une table de mixage, mais je suis un peu embarrassé avec cette question du décalage de 75 ms entre l’émetteur (platine vinyle) et le récepteur (groupage Sonos), quand on les connecte en filaire. Auriez-vous une idée pour ne pas avoir ce décalage ? (Qui me semble impossible à tolérer dans une session mix, car on agit sur la machine et entend la modification sur le son en temps réel). Si pas de solution je crois que je serai obli

I already have a pair of Bronze Audio 50 speakers hooked up to my sonos amp with the hdmi arc connected to my TV. I’m considering picking up a central speaker, the BA C150. Is it possible to connect this to the amp also, and can anyone see a benefit to the setup or drawbacks?

Since upgrading my iPhone to iOS 15 I am no longer able to control my Sonos S2 volume controls using the physical volume button on the phone. I have turned the option off and back on again in App Preferences with no success. Is this perhaps a known issue? Thanks. 

Hello,We would like to create 5.1.2 channel Home Theater system with Sonos Ceiling speakers. As we have done some research, we see that it is not possible to get both surround and Sub effect with only one Sonos Amp. So we were wondering, should we use 2 Amps and 5 in-Ceilling speakers for 5.1.2 channel system?If not, it is possible to use Sonos Arc, Sonos Sub, Sonos Amp and 2 in-Ceilling speakers as Home theater and also 5.1.2 channel system?Is it possible to get Sub effect from only in-Ceilling speakers?It would be great if we can get an answer.Thank you,Have a great day.

Do you feel pressure from the Playbar when there are loud sounds from the movie you are watching? 

I have two play 1 and one play 5 - all gen 1, and a bridge (gen 1).  I see no need to combine them with a sonos 2 on the same system, but I’d like to connect sonos to bluetooth headphones as a gift. I don’t think there is a way to do that with sonos gen 1. So buy a sonos 2, and use it in the same house, for this purpose? I know I could use a music streaming service right off the phone for this person, but I’m sure he wouldn’t want to run down his phone. thanks - 

Hi. Im trying to use my Sonos Port with Denon Amp. (DENON DRA-800H) with no luck. There is no sound from input (output works). I’ve connected Port using RCA to CD 2 IN port, no sound. Then I’ve used COAX cable to connect to CD IN port, no sound as well. Im sure that Port is streaming, because when I connect it to Phono input, the sound plays as it should. Any help help? 

Microsoft upgraded me to Windows 11 with asking, and then Sonos keeps on telling me to check for updates -- I do this, it finds one, downloads and installs. Then asks me to check again, and downloads and installs…. and so on, and on. I cannot get to the music library on the PC; one the phone it no longer finds the music library, and the process of trying to connect via the phone is impossibly complicated with instructions written by someone who really doesn’t seem to like customers very much. Any ideas? I just want to listen to some music…….. 

Hi there, I know this question has already been asked, and I know how to get this info, normaly given on the “about my system” screen on the Sonos app.And I get the information when I use my beam with my TV (as input).But when I use it with the Sonos App or Airplay as input, there is no indication (field is blank).I also have a Roam, for wich the “audio output” field does not exist.So my guess is that this information is given only when using the Beam with input set to TV. Still, is there a way to get this information with the other input modes ?

Hi there I can’t seem to find a clear answer to this question.I have two rooms that I’d like to power with a single sonos amp.  Each room has two ceiling speakers that I'd like to replace with architectural ceiling speakers.  I realize only one audio output can be sent to all speakers, but can I ‘shut off’ individual architectural speakers, to only play the sound in one of the rooms?  I was hoping to set this up with airplay 2 and Apple Homekit to control the speakers of each room. Thanks

Ho acquistato sub usato, come faccio a sapere a quale generazione appartiene?

Anyone else get this to work?  It is part of today’s 13.4 update.   But when I try to toggle battery saver mode to the On setting -- it immediately toggles back to “off” on its own.   I can’t get it to turn on.  Am I doing something wrong -- or is anyone else seeing this? I’m using an iPhone X -- latest iOS updates applied.   I have a Roam I’m trying to apply this to.Here’s what it says to do -- and I’m doing it (trying to):Enable Battery Saver on portable Sonos products | Sonos 

I'm wondering if someone could please help me out with my Beam soundbar. I have a 2007 Sharp Aquos LC-42XD1E LCD TV which i'm trying to connect to the beam , but because its an older TV it doesn't have a HDMI ARC connection, only a standard HDMI connection. It also doesn't have an optical digital port either. Is there any suggestions as to how i could get it working? I have attached a photo of the back connections on the TV, any help would be greatly appreciated
