I’m considering buying a set of Play 3’s since they are available for around $100 used, but I’m wondering how much longer they will be usable. I use S2 to control my beam, sub, move, and connect. It sounds like the way Sonos handles these situations is they will eventually stop supporting it and stop providing updates, then one day certain services may stop working when the streaming services like Spotify are updated to a newer technology than the Play 3 can handle. Or will Sonos just brick the Play 3 and offer people a discount to upgrade? If I can get 2 or 3 years out of the Play 3’s it’ll probably be worth it.

Do i need to add a Sub or can i just connect two One SL’s to my Arc for surround sound? 

Hi there,I just upgraded to a brand new Samsung TV, and joined the Sonos world for the first time with an Arc sound bar, plus a sub. We’re really impressed with the sound, having upgraded from a 10yr old Sony. We also bought a couple of Move speakers to stream music to, one to use upstairs and one for downstairs. The downside is that our now much more finely attuned ears (!) notice how crummy our bedroom TV sounds. I’ve checked, and did a bit of searching on the web, and the bedroom TV won’t seem to connect to the upstairs Move speaker, and am thinking a Beam sound bar might be a better investment anyway. The TV is a few years old and just wanted to sense check with the community that the TV should connect and play sound through a Beam rather than the TV speakers OK. There doesn’t seem to be a sound bar option in the TV sett

Hi I have been going through blogs and researching online how to figure this out. I am trying to connect my arc to my projector screen to stream with my firestick. After researching I learned you needed a matrix switch box (a few different names to it). I was able to connect my projector screen and arc using this switch and I plugged the firestick directly to the matrix box. The issue is there is no sounding coming from the arc now. I can see my firestick is working off the projector but no sound and I am completely stuck here, any recommendations? 

Youtube is basicly free but it looks like that Sonos app do not accept free account. So we need to pay Youtube Premium to be able to play music with Sonos. Did Sonos think about its customers by adding the option to sync the image of the video to cast it in our smart TVs?

I currently have a pair of Fives set up as stereo for music only listening. I’m using a turntable and CD deck as sources. Works great. I was wondering if I could add another pair of either Ones or Fives to the existing Fives for multi channel audio like SACDs?

Sonos first came to market at the perfect time, they were not the first, or possibly the best at the time, but they brought desirable products to the market at a time when people were willing to spend good sums of money for reliable, high quality products. In particular they were the best solution for people who wanted to stream their existing digital audio collection at the best quality, Sonos devices supported network streams of uncompressed of audio and also supported uncompressed FLAC files for even higher quality. This is why I and so many other customers invested thousands in Sonos hardware.But times move on….Over the years Sonos has failed to innovate in their primary arena of products which used to be the market leader in the highest quality audio and which justified their high price tag and in doing so have ditched their cash cow users. Instead they have put all their resources into online streaming services (sacrificing quality and alienating their core userb

Hos can I se which WiFi Move is use when I had 3 WiFi configured in Sonos app?

I recently started a free trial of Apple Music. I have an iTunes library of about 32,500 tracks which are currently being uploaded to the Apple Music cloud.I have downloaded a couple of albums from Apple Music which appear in my iTunes library and in the Apple Music library, but, do not appear in the main Sonos library.Is this usual? 

I’ve a very simple setup, yet can’t find a straight answer online. How do I connect my Sonos beam to my Denon A/V receiver (as center/front channels) along with Bose inceiling speakers as rear channels? I’m planning to buy a Sonos port/connect

Hello, I have a strange situation : on my iPad, if I play youtube or youtube music, if I use airplay, I can see my Sonos and stream to it. on my iPad, or Android phone, if I clic on “cast” icon, I see no device connected.That is not cool, as if I use airplay and close youtube app, the sound stop. And Also I can not use my android phone.With Sonos APP it works well, but in sonos app I can not add music to my library and playlist. How can I manage this to work ?Thanks in advance for your help.

my s1 controller has not worked on my Mac for a while now. works fine on my iPhone I have not changed my router or any settings. 

My sound switches to night mode randomly throughout each day.  Is there a way to keep night mode off?

Does anybody have any direct comparisons between the Beam and Yamaha YAS209?I can’t decide whether the Yamaha with it’s separate sub will outperform the Beam. I would consider adding IKEA Symfonisk to the Beam as surrounds but the budget does not stretch to the Sonos sub. Yamaha is £319 atm and Sonos £399 + 2 x£89 for a pair of Symfonisks.  Existing user of a Sonos One (love it) and have an old Yamaha TSS15 5.1 theater setup for TV which has served well over the years, so wanting to move forwards from this. TIA  

Can I use the Sonos Move to listen to programmes on an LG smart tv ? 

Hi everyone,if I have a Beam plus 2 x IKEA Symfonisk as a surround system, which of the speakers will be the default for music playback when using Beam as a smart speaker?Would it just come from Beam, or could I set the surrounds to ‘full’ and have music playback from all three? TIA

I am planning to get a Roam and leave it constantly plugged in to use it primarily as a wifi speaker, with the option of taking it out and about when needed. My question is, will leaving it constantly plugged in degrade the battery life? The FAQ for the Move explicitly states that leaving it on the charging base will not degrade battery life. However, the equivalent FAQ for the Roam is notably missing this reference. Thanks for your help!

I have a pair of Fives that are used exclusively for listening to music. They’re hooked up to a turntable and a dedicated CD player. The Fives can go really low. That said, would I gain much if I added a subwoofer into the mix?Thoughts?

Hi all , had a weird repetitive chime sound coming out of my beam . Happened for 2 days . Forums intimidated an alarm but checked the app and dates no alarm set. When playing music the chime seemed to dominate and could just about here music played through it . Turned off and left off for ages - nothing - them all of a sudden all ok today . Any ideas what is was as I fear it may return ? Thanks 

This is going to be a controversial post but I believe it needs to be discussed.. I have both the move and the roam and I love them both.  Every time I take a trip I beg myself to bring the move but I look at my backpack I have to carry on the airplane and the weight of the move and the roam always wins…Then, I get to my hotel room and fire up the roam and start playing music and somehow I miss my speakers at home and wish I had taken the move.Size is everything and I know there is only so much sound a small little lightweight speaker can provide.. so I ask the question, can any other speaker in the size footprint and price range of the roam deliver better sound? I come from the Bose world and replaced my soundlink 2 with the roam and it definitely sounds better than the Bose but still lacking for me…

Hi, I have a 24” touchscreen monitor built into the wall (Mainly to scroll through a photos screensaver).More a question to Sonos tech’s or designers, can there be touchscreen mode/option in the Sonos windows settings?The size of the volume and track playing is terrible to adjust with a touch finger.!  I cant slide to well with my finger but the tapping on the volume bar makes it move a little each tap.Even selecting songs could be better.Sort off like the Sonos phone app,,, or just making the volume bar longer and tracking bar longer for finer adjustment across the top of the player. Bigger buttons and menus too would be great?Thanks.! 

I have iPhone XR 14.6i installed it and set up 2 sonos one speakers. It does the setup and then asks to register and update. But then it is unable to do it and says unable to update at this time. Upon multiple tries, same result occurs.I click ‘will do later’ but then I keeps showing that speakers need updating. Then I try to go back to update, and then it starts crashing, saying unable to connect. if I give up and go to it again some other time, it is not even able to connect to Sonosite and just stop working. I have uninstalled and installed multiple times without any result. At the moment, these speakers are dud to me. Need some sorting out.I have tried this on iPhone max as well 14.6 and same result occurs.  

I can't be the only one that thinks the Play 3 needs updating,it's clearly the best of all the Sonos lineup,The most versatile and best sounding without losing an arm or leg.. C'mon Sonos give us an Updated version.!!

Okay, so I hade a quite confusing question. I’m interested in getting a surroundsound system. I was thinking about getting a playbar. I have a pair of active speakers i would like to use as surround, is that possible with a connect? And if so, is it also possible to connect a sub to these speakers? Cause they have a sub output and I cant afford the Sonos Sub. Would appreciate some help!//Filip

Despite several old threads dealing with the lack of bookmarks, there's no coherent explanation why this is not possible or implemented. Who would be responsible for this feature - Sonos, Audible or both?And, does Audiobooks offer a bookmark feature?There's an ancient Linux program on github which claims to be able to provide sonos bookmarking, but I doubt it actually works by reading the issues reported.
