https://www.engadget.com/roku-os-10-5-update-voice-speakers-130013021.html their sound bar as center channel with wireless speakers on front left and right and rear  not sure how well it is going to work though...

I have a Beam used only for music - ie playing YouTube music.  I’m happy with the quality of sound but would like it to be louder. What’s the best speaker/s I could add to it to make it louder? Thank you. 

Apologies if this has been covered before Recently bought a LG TV (LG OLED65GX6LA)  Running the latest Firmware 03.23.35 , and have linked up my soundbar via a optical cable and have two Sonos play ones as rear speakers and a sub and it used to work well. Since september I only get sound via internal speaker.I control the playbar and my TV using Logitech Harmony.Adressing the Playbar using the Sonos App Version 13.2.2 and Build 64320120. I can play music as usual but no sound from the TV or via HDMI connected devices via playbar or satelites.I don’t know what changed, but it’s frustrating not getting any surround sound... 

I recently purchased a Beam Gen 1 while being unaware that Gen 2 was right around the corner (still in the return window.) I like the sound of the Gen 1 for both cinema and music listening. Given my setup, I actually don’t care as much about the performance for cinema as I use the system  primarily for music. So, I’m thinking that features such as DTS and eARC are not as relevant for me. I also use my Beam on it’s own when watching movies and don’t activate any of my other speakers.That said, I want to make sure I’m getting the best product that I can. Is it worth returning my Beam Gen 1 and getting the Gen 2 if I primarily care about music performance? Will the Gen 2 be better or worse for music performance? The same? I’m having trouble distinguishing the difference, if there are a different amount of speakers, different size speakers, etc.

I have a system that was setup by an installer that is no longer available.  It consist of several of the white Connect:Amp that operate in wireless mode.  I would like to add an additional system to power some new outdoor speakers.  I don’t think the Connect;Amp are still available.  What product should I add?  It would be two speakers with about a 100 foot run of cable.  Thanks

I finally got my hands on a Sonos Amp as I cannot get a Sonos Port for the life of me. I have a customer who I am installing a large outdoor 70V system for and I want to use the Sonos Amp as a line out source and not an amp. I know this isn't "recommended", but Sonos really can't blame integrators for looking at alternate solutions given their serious shortage of products (and they also just canceled my large order through Anixter as with all their orders so I have no choice).  The customer wants to use the Sonos app so I need to make this work.Please assist with solutions.  Thank you!

Hello, everyone!I am currently using Sonos Arc with two Sonos One SL and a Sonos Sub. I am perfectly happy with this setup used for TV, but not so when listening to music. I find the stereo field too narrow from the front. As such, I am thinking of buying two Sonos Fives to widen the stereo image.First of all, is it even a good idea? Will incorporating two Fives into the setup (situated further apart than the width of Arc) a viable way to accomplish my goal?Secondly - will it be possible to configure all of the speakers into one setup? If not, is it possible to have two configurations (Arc+2xSL+Sub AND 2xFive+2xSL+Sub) and change them on-the-fly? Or will I have to manually reconfigure everything everytime I would like to change from “Movie Time” to “Music Time” (not a good scenario)?

I am suddenly unable to fast forward in a song on the Android Sonos S2 app. Is anyone else having the same issue?

Hi,I am considering upgrading my TV to an HDMI 2.1 capable device with ARC/eARC support (for future proofness) and specifically I am looking at the Philips OLED 806 or 807.Many thanks to @pwain for reporting so thoroughly the issues he is encountering related to eARC & Dolby Vision/Dolby Atmos on this and other fora! However, I am getting a bit worried that I will have similar issues with this TV.Specifically, I am running the Sonos AMP with two passive B&W boxes as fronts, and two Sonos Ones as back speakers. I believe at this point, the Sonos AMP supports just plain ARC (no eARC), so this probably simplifies the situation a bit. I use the latest Apple TV 4K for playback with Plex/Infuse.Does anyone else here have any experience to share with the Philips OLED 806 or 706 and the Sonos AMP in a similar setup as described above?

As stated in the title, I think the Sonos S1 devices (such as the Connect Amp, the Connect and the Playbar) are all connecting to the one and only Google Wifi router in the other room. I would like them to connect to Google Wifi AP that is in the same room as they are. I have everything working except this issue, all the units have a “weak connection” to the Wifi. It would be great if there is a way to make the Sonos units see the local AP.

Hi all,I was looking for some time for a new setup in my living room: have a simple system for music (streaming), TV watching, very occasionally movie (typically I watch movies with headphones not to disturb family and neighbours) and later add turntable. My primary choice was KEF LS50 Wireless II, but due to costs and usage simplicity I’ve chosen Sonos Arc to try (I have no other Sonos products, neither planning to get any, at the moment)And while Arc seems to be good for TV, and obviously movies sound much better, I am bit disappointed in its music performance. I am not audiophile by no means (just know good sound a bit), but to me music sounds very “uninspiring”, especially on low volumes. So the choices I am looking at the moment:Add Sub to Arc - I’ve read that music performance improves, specifically on low volumes, but I presume it will not do miracles (i.e. proper stereo). Also, in order to connect turntable, I would need to buy Port, which would increase the price closer to KEF

I've ordered the full ARC 5.1.2 system which is on back order until the end of Oct. My movie room is only 9m square (3m x 3m) and I've seen some reviews saying that your room needs to be at least 16m square to benefit from the sound as the system would be too overpowering for any rooms smaller than this, anyone have the full set up in a small room like mine? With the Beam 2 offering artificial Atmos I'm wondering if I'd be better swapping the Arc for the Beam 2 however there aren't any reviews in it yet and I'd want to know what the Atmos effect is like before making that decision. ​​​

Hi,I have one pair of Bose speakers currently on my Deck powered by Bose amplifier.I am planning to add another pair of speakers on my patio.I want to have the flexibility of able to control each pair separately - i.e., I want to be able to play same music on both pairs, or switch off one pair. Or even control volume on each pair.I am planning to buy two SONOS amp to do this and connect each pair separately to each SONOS Amp. Will it work? Will I be able to control each pair separately OR all together - Play same or different music on both pairs, or even turn off one pair.Also, for another pair of speakers, do I stick with BOSE outdoor speakers , or I can buy any other speaker with causing any interference?Thanks

So please note this is different from: That topic is discussing multiple SONOS networks. I just want to connect to a new network, without another Sonos setup.Use case:I have a small Sonos setup at home, with the controller app on my phone. I have a Roam on that network, working fine. I go on holiday, with my phone, laptop, and Sonos. I connect the phone, and the laptop, to the WiFi at the hotel or wherevever I want to connect my Roam to the same networkI cannot work out how to do this.I proceed through the app guidance on connecting to a new network, and of course it cannot find the Sonos Roam, since the Roam isn’t on the network. (See screenshots below). I can connect to the Roam fine by Bluetooth, and it seems that logically I should be able to “send” the credentials for the WiFi network to the Roam so that it can connect, but there isn’t a way to do this. The help just tells me to go through the process shown in the screenshots.Presumably I could factory reset the Roam, uninstall th

Any idea why when I open my favourites play list in sonos its does not match the order I saved them in deezer.. bit of a pain as I have to manually scan my sonos play list to see where my last most up to date favourite song has saved.. it would be great if both lists where synced which each list matching in most recently added decending order..

I have Sonos Arc and Sub Gen 3. The firmware is updated to the latest release. True play done and EQ set. Despite everything, the mids and highs on Arc sound very feeble. The fidelity on Arc feels underwhelming especially considering it’s a very expensive Soundbar so sound quality should be of paramount importance. Sonos doesn’t seem to be addressing a very major issue with Arc and I have seen multiple forums with lack of clarity around mid-high range. This affects dialogue, speech and loudness of the system. Coming from Bose 700 Soundbar, ARC is no match for Bose”s handling of mid and high frequencies. The subwoofer however is the best and beats the Bose Bass Module 700 easily. Can we please expect Sonos to give an ETA to provide a software update to fix this or should this product be returned? 

I have arc in one room, and two surround one sls in another room. It's there an easy way for me to setup arc with surround in case I'm watching a movie? I want to temporarily move the ones, watch a movie, and place them back. Or the ones need to be retuned each time?

Just had an aha moment today listening. I have a set of Play 1s (Blue Note Editions but same as other versions just a unique color) in my 12’ x 15’ Office. While normally I have these as background music as I am taking phone calls, working, etc. I had an opportunity to let the dogs out today as I was doing a bunch of cleaning in the office, no work. WOW, I just realized how incredible they sound when paired up with Sonos Radio HD (listening to Guitar Gods) station and turned up (maybe 25%). While one of them would be good enough in a room this size I just need the stereo channeling for my tastes and I was just blown away. The interplay, detail and the fine tuning that they have done with these in conjunction with it is just awesome. If you are ever in doubt between 1 or 2-get 2 you will never be sorry.

Create a new topic because Sonos One not working on m1 Mac mini through Airplay | Sonos Community was marked as answered incorrectly. Could anyone confirm that Sonos is not compatible with M1 Mac? Just got a new mac mini, but I can’t Airplay music to my Sonos One Thank you 

Well the title says it  can I stand the port on its side? Will it cause issues with heat build up or anything? cheers 

Bonjour est ce sonos compte revoir le Sub ? En sortir un plus gros avec au moins des hauts parleurs de 10 pouces, peut importe l encombrement plus le haut parleur est gros mieux c est. Bonne soirée à tous le monde 

I’ve read that the Boost is not compatible with Move.  Is it compatible with all other current speakers? Or, does anyone know what products it is not compatible with?  I want to add One SL speakers to my system but will need help from the Boost to make it worth a purchase.

I use sonos beam with my Samsung smart tv (2018- not sure the model #). When watching Samsung tv plus, when the commercials come on they are 2x times louder than the tv program. So, I have to either keep the remote handy to turn it down or ask Alexa to turn it down. Every 5-10 minutes.  In Samsung sound settings, I can’t choose the “auto volume” option says “function not available” so wondering if there’s a way to do this with sonos settings. It’s driving me nuts :)

Seems like there’s zero benefit from putting Roam into sleep mode instead of turning it off. Drains battery and does not offer the convenience of remote wake up from app. Then what’s the point of the sleep mode?
