Songs with accents or special characters in the titles missing on Sonos Controller App when imported from a playlist on macOS.For Windows users I found this topic that will give you more information about this problem. For those who are on the macOS side here’s the way I used to fix it. I’m running macOS12 « Monterey » but it should work with many mores. My Sonos Controller is 17.2 and the Sonos OS is S2. First create *m3u file and locate the songs in the playlist with a text editor. I use TextEdit but you can choose whatever floats your boat. Depending on the app you used to create the playlist (I use Mp3tag) you’ll find the path of the songs as: /Users/polo/Music/Jean Jacques Gol

Hi guys! I recently bought a pair of era 300 mainly to listen to music. With Roku's app I can stream the audio to the pair and it works good. However I am missing some of that 5.1 experience because Bluetooth from Roku is kinda limited. So I was thinking of adding a soundbar to the system. Will the era300 full functions be too limited if I pair it with a beam? Will it work as 5.1 system anyway, with Dolby Atmos? Also: to hear music I have to create a different system within the Sonos app? Read some stuff about this here in this forum and got only more confused

set up , totally new to this , just moved house and ceilings are full of speakers , probably 15 years old , lots of ends coming out walls , what do i need to get them to work

I’ve been using Sonos devices since long and I’ve always preferred to wire them because, well, I wire everything whenever possible (less radio noise, more reliable, some rooms don’t have good wifi signal, etc). I’m saddened to discover that the new models force me to buy extra adapters (I suppose other not-Sonos adapter won’t work) just to connect the home speakers to the ethernet network. It’s actually extra annoying because Amazon don’t sell them and the Sonos store don’t deliver to freighter services (as Amazon does) so I can’t get them where I live (Dominican Republic).If you know other shops who sell the combo adapter please let me know, thanks. 

I want to move eras around for other purposes, like playing music without the full surround set up. is it possible to create a duplicate living room where eras are not set up in surround?

I just bought a Sonos Arc refurb for a good price and it has not shipped yet...the Arc is a little bit "old" now haha. Anything I might be missing out on? I just use my TV with an nvidia Shield Pro and will use the Arc with the eARC port on my TV. Nothing too fancy in terms of use, just a PLEX library and some streaming services.Also I see that only Apple iOS is supported for their room configurations. I do not use Apple products. Am I missing out much by not being able to set up the speakers and map the room so to speak with an iOS device?I am using a 65” LG G5 OLED. Bedroom setup, I opted to not get the subwoofer.Thanks :)

Hello guys.We have been quite happily living in the S1 world, not seeing a reason to move to S2. However our venerable Home Theatre System has decided to die. So we think that we might replace it with a Beam (our heads won’t less us buy an ARC as we don’t actually watch that much TV). We might need to hit eBay or similar to replace a Gen 1 Connect but that is a minor concern 3 questionsWe have lost track of progress on the S2 App. What features, if any, available in S1 have still not been implemented in S2?  We have pairs of Play3, Play1 and One SL any suggestions as to which we should use as surround speakers? Which? Magazine in the UK doesn’t rate the Beam - can they be safely ignored?Thanks for any thoughts 

I have a set of play3 with the ARC+sub I want to replace the play3 for era300 will they be easy to setup in app ty

Hi, I have a 15% upgrade credit activated and I am trying to buy an ERA 100, but I dont see the credit on the checkout. Any tips?

I am buying a Samsung OLED 65” tv, how will the sound fair once connected to my Sonos beam please 

Hi my Sonos keeps dropping out from WiFi. Every other device in the house is connected to WiFi but my Sonos app isn’t finding my speakers 

I’m using a google pixel phone, the 9 pro xl to be specific, and i recently bought the sonos ace headphones. The headphones are nice spec wise however i was disappointed to see that the only Bluetooth codec i can use for wireless listening is SBC. I understand they support Aptx but google phones DO NOT support Aptx. I think its lame that I’m stuck with the most inefficient codec with such cool headphones simply because of the chip my phone uses. With Bluetooth 5.4 onboard it more than meets the requirements to add LE audio support and LC3. Aura-cast would be nice too for good measure but I’d love to see an update for LC3 support at the very least. Do you guys think this is possible to expect in an update?

HelloI am considering buying a soundbar plus a sub. Currently, I am looking at the combo:1. Sonos Arc Ultra + Sub Mini2. Sonos Beam 2 + Sub Mini + 2x Era 100 as surroundsI mostly watch movies (Netflix, Apple TV, Disney, so all kinds of audio setups), and I am looking for the biggest immersion.The price where I live is about the same. What would be better? I have a small room of 3m x 4m and have a couch against the wall (shorter side, so my 85” TV is 2.8m from my seating position).I don’t have space behind the couch, so I would have to mount Eras beside me (about a 100-degree angle), and it would be about 80cm from my head.What would be better in this case? Arc Ultra or Beam 2 with surround? Also, my wife would prefer not to have drivers behind cthe ouch :)Also, is the surround sound noticeable in movies? Isn't it better to buy a better soundbar overall?

Why is there no Android widget support? When will this be rectified? I assumed I'd done something wrong or that there was some obscure issue with the Fold 7. I'm astounded after coming here and reading multiple year old threads that widget support had disappeared, this is frankly unforgivable for a media streaming product.  

I am considering in-ceiling speakers for open plan sitting/kitchen in a new apartment, but am not sure if individual speakers would be a better fit.I already have Beam and Symfonisk floor lamps that work well for TV surround.I’m considering in-ceiling speakers for the kitchen and possibly more to cover the whole room, although they would not be used for TV. How many ceiling speakers and placement would be recommended? I don’t want to buy two Amps to have separate rooms for sitting/TV area and kitchen. Alternatively, a pair of 100s for the kitchen would be a lot cheaper and the Beam and Lamps could be grouped for listening throughout the space. Primary uses are background listening and TV. Any ideas? Thanks

If I add a 2nd ERA 100 and pair it in stereo, does the volume slider button on top of the 1st speaker adjust the volume accordingly on the other speaker?  I frequently adjust volume up or down while listening to music, and I don’t want to use the app every time.  I really hope I wouldn’t have to individually adjust volume on both speakers constantly, or that would be a deal breaker.  I’m ready to pull the trigger on the 2nd speaker but need to clarify this 1st.  Thanks.

So many frustrating things since the Sonos app debacle.  While some aspects of the S2 app have slowly gotten better, on my iMac using the Sonos Desktop Controller I can call up and play Sonos playlists (all of which were created on my iMac), however they will not play using the S2 controller on my IOS or Android devices even though the playlist icon shows on the S2 controller.  It spins for a while and that’s it.  Note if I search the music library for songs within the playlists I can play the individual songs.  Do others have this same experience and what, if any, remedies exist for this problem.  Please note that I do not use any Sonos speakers.  My system is composed only of Ports, Sonos Connects, Amps and Connect Amps.  Thank you.

Hello everyone, new here and new to Sonos so please be gentle if I have some things incorrect. I just built a man-cave garage that is 24’ wide x 30’ long with 11’6” ceilings in it. Like an idiot i didnt run any wires for speakers in it when we were building it and now its fully finished and running wires at this point isnt happening. I do have wired internet run out there to an Eero Pro 7 along with a 8 port gigibit switch so internet isnt an issue. I also have a 75” Sony X90L TV hanging on the wall with an old sony soundbar and an Apple TV 4K. Needless to say the soundbar sounds like crap and Im looking to upgrade it. I am a bit of an audiophile as I did high end car audio for about 15 years in my younger days so I do know the difference in good vs bad audio. Im looking to setup something that I can accomplish these things with:Work with my tv/apple tv so be able to reproduce the sound. Not really looking for “Surround” sound too much. Dont care about Atmos..Lo

I have the Arc and a sub. I would like to add the surround speakers that can also  be my stereo sound. I can’t decide between the 5s or the 300! I do have a very large space 

How many ceiling speakers can I connect to one amp?

I recently switched from spotify to AM. Spotify worked well with the sonos speakers (two Sonos Ones, one Playbase combined with Sub 2 and two Play 1s). Now when I play a song on AM and airplay to the sonos speakers, it connects fine to the individual Sonos Ones, but when I connect to the Playbase/Sub/Play 1s combination, it stutters for about 4 seconds through the music and then settles down. It will also stutter if I change the song, re-start the song etc. Have tried the usual, restarting router, de-installing and re-installing the sonos app, AM app, removing and re-adding the playbase, removing AM from sonos and re-adding.

Hi, I have a large room (4.5m by 10m with 3m high ceilings) and I want to install in-ceiling, 8 inch Sonos speakers. I would really appreciate advice on whether two pairs would be enough, whether to go with one or two amps and how best to position them. The room will be divided into two zones front of the long side and back of the long side. One half a sitting area and one half a dining area. Thanks!

Are replacement batteries the same for the OG Move and Move 2?

Hello, I was wondering if it’s possible to play sound through the Sonos Arc and the Sonos Ace at the same time. My friend likes louder sound so he’d like to listen using the headphones while I would listen using the soundbar.

We have a music listening and TV viewing area in our living room. Music is a stereo pair of Play1s either side of the TV. TV sound is HDMI ARC to a Beam Gen 1 under the TV. It all works well.We have no interest in surround sound (and even if we did our room would make it really hard to put the surrounds anywhere sensible). The Play1s sound better than the Beam for music - not surprising they are physically separated to give a decent stereo soundstage.Was wondering about adding a sub mini to the set up. As far as I can tell would have to add the sub to either the TV/Beam or music/Play1s. Is there a way to get the benefit of the sub for TV and music without losing the convenience and ease of our current set up? Whatever we do has to be easy for everyone to use. Thanks
