Does anyone know if it’s possible to bluetooth music to the original play 1,3,5 speakers …I want to be able to play from like the bbc sounds app but can’t see this is possible ( or using the airplay option ) Feels like I’m being forced to upgrade all my speakers for a basic functionality- I have 5 …  TIA  

Depuis ce matin, 23 juin 2021, TunIn interrompt régulièrement la diffusion de la radio et j’entends un jingle TuneIn. Extrêmement désagréable et de nature à me pousser à me débarrasser de mon matériel SONOS s’il n’y a pas de solution rapide pour supprimer ça.Depuis un certain temps TuneIn m’envoie de la publicité à la mise en route de la radio. Je n’aime pas ça non plus. Pendant plusieurs années ce phénomène n’existait pas.Très déçu de SONOS.

Hi guys, As my passive hifi system hooked to the PC has massive humming/buzzing sound, I wanted to give my Sonos Beam & 2x Sonos Ones as an alternative a shot. After loads of fiddling around, I managed to connect the Beam (via optical from sound card & Sonos optical to HDMI adapter). Also, I noticed the volume of the Beam is quite low, even if I have the volume at 100% in all PC settings (Windows 10).However, when connecting the 2x Sonos Ones in conjunction with the Beam, I have a terrible delay (as they’re probably connected as rear speakers in a surround setup). I read in another thread that someone put the Ones in a different room group, however not sure how that’s supposed to work/kill the delay.Any ideas how to improve the volume and pair the Beam and Ones on PC without delay? Thanks! 

Hello. I have just linked my turntable to my new sonos 5 and love it. I was wondering though if there was a way to use a custom icon instead of the line in icon? I’d like an image of my turntable here rather than the default line in logo, almost like selecting an album art? 

I am in the process of moving my iTunes Library to my new Mac Book-Pro from my old Mac. The problem is that my Sonos playlists have songs with paths to files that point to my old computer. Is there a way to change the paths in my Sonos Playlists that do not involve re-doing the playlists from scratch? Or, alternatively, can I use the same Computer Name in my new computer, as defined in the Sharing folder in System Preferences, as the old computer? Other?Thank you!

I currently have an older tv, with a beam, 2 rear ones and a sub 5.1 setup.  im now looking at upgrade my set up to an LG OLED CX model and make most of Dolby atmos ,  would then change my beam in the setup to an ARC,  due to the 2020 LG missing many apps , I would then look to use my Apple TV 4K to stream most content.  as the Apple TV will have to connect direct to the TV and not the ARC as the Apple instruction suggest , would this set up still be able to get full atmos from apps on Apple TV or will I have issues. I’ve tried to search this site and seen many missed messages and people having problems.  has anyone else got this setup and have no problems before I commit my cash.  many thanks.   

My husband and I both have iPhones and the S2 app. We use the SAME log-in on both phones - same wifi network - HOWEVER, I see some speakers on my phone and he has the others showing on his phone. So basically, it it impossible to show ALL speakers on the network with the SAME log-in. What the heck is happening? Constant issues lately….HELP!

I’m so disappointed with my sonos roam battery life, I returned it today. I got about 2 hours playback before it died. Even on standby it drained 25% in about 12 hours.  I’ve been waiting for ages to expand my sonos system with an outdoor capable speaker and thought this was the answer. I loved everything else about it, but it didn’t even last for one evening. Someone please let me know if this ever gets fixed, and I’ll consider re-purchasing.

This is a community question.  My wife found an internet site, trees.fm, that offers forest sounds - birds chirping and such. I was able to add it via the URL to my “TuneIn”, but it would not load.I can accept that. Question: Does anybody have such a site on their Sonos? Don’t want rain, or oceans, or babbling brooks or running water.sorry for the goofy question. Thank you if you can guide me. Sonos S1 Play:1 Tracy

Hi there,I have an Apple TV HD (2021) that is connected to my Optoma HD146X projector via HDMI. I want to play video through the Apple TV, but would like to play the audio through my Sonos setup (a Sonos Five and a Sonos One). When i play video through the Apple TV, the sound comes from the beamer built-in speaker through the HDMI cable. I can't figure out where/how to connect the Apple TV to the Sonos for the audio playback. What does work, however, is to go to the Netflix app, and from there scroll down on the Apple TV remote and select the Sonos speakers for playback. If i then switch to any other app, these audio playback settings are carried over to this app, and audio is played through the Sonos speakers. If i then want to change volume, i have to go back to the Netflix app as that seems to be the only place where i can control the audio sound settings for Sonos.Does anyone have an idea what i'm doing wrong and how i can fix this?Thanks in advance!David

Hi I have got blown drivers in my play bar that’s just 7 years old can I change it?

I’ve got a Playbar, sub, and two ones. Will be setting this up for a house with 8 people. Planning on having a modem/router, and another router wired to this modem/router. My questions is, Would it be better to connect the Sonos system to the modem/router and have the rest of the people in the house use the other router as their wifi? or have people use the modem/router as the wifi and connect the system to the other router. I understand that either way, one must be connected to the same wifi as the system to control it, but from a network stability and less lag concept, wondering what would be better. Side note, the Playbar will be connected to a smart tv via optical cord. Planning on wiring the tv via ethernet to the internet that the majority of people will be connected to, so that they can use system when using tv, but when not using tv, only I will have control(since I will be connected to the wifi the system is connected to). ALSO, would having a Sonos boost work better than a de

I have a large living room with 2 chimney breasts. I want to mount 2 Sonos Ones.Should I put them on the chimney breasts (above TV and above radiator) or in the alcoves at the far ends? 

I have a beam, sub and 2 one sl. They were working fine for almost 6 months. Yesterday I disconnected one One sl as a mistake. After plugging back in it didn’t add automatically to the home theater system.I have been trying all day to add it and no luck. I have reset factory setting on all system and start from scratch. Still same issue. I can add to the system everything but when I add my surrounds it gives an error “there was a problem adding your surrounds” and only one of them starts working. Any tips?

Is it possible to upload `Sonos music playlists from `Sonos App to my Garmin Watch Device

As I previously discovered in another thread, streaming to Sonos using Airplay 2 causes the existing Sonos groups to be immediately ungrouped.Assuming we have a hypothetical setup of 3 groups Sonos speakers, which have been grouped in the Sonos app, the following behaviour is exhibited:Starting an Airplay stream to Speaker A will cause speakers B and C to immediately ungroup. Playback will continue on Speaker A only. While Airplaying to A, grouping A, B, and C, will allow the Airplay stream to be propagated from A to B and C using the Sonos protocol so the stream stays in sync across all speakers.  After Pausing or stopping for a minute or two, playing the Airplay stream will again immediately ungroup the speakers. The speakers must again be regrouped in the Sonos app. You cannot use multiple Airplay streams to stream to multiple speakers. For some reason, Sonos speakers will drift out of sync when doing this. The only way to use Airplay with multiple speakers is to regroup using the S

Hi all, Sorry if already asked and answered but I haven’t seen any clear statement about this.(do not hesitate to send a link else).  Is that possible to use the Sonos Roam in hands free mode for phone calls, or even better, for visioconf with PC / Mac ? ThanksBen 

My situation: I have a small home office where I spend 8-10 hours a day and, about two years ago, I purchased a Sonos One to best enjoy my favorite music, podcasts and also use it as general-purpose speaker (for YouTube videos, etc). Please note I don't do any "technical" audio or media work.What's wrong: The main reason why I bought a Sonos One was AirPlay 2 compatibility, which would allow me to use the Sonos speaker as a remote speaker for my MacBook over wired Ethernet (1Gbps). Wrong: AirPlay 2 works as long as you have something playing without interruption. As soon as you pause your music or any other kind of media, resuming after a few minutes just gets you a very long, or possibly infinite, silence. All I've gotten from Sonos support on this is "Apple's fault". After two years no software update on either side has improved this. Not even they very touted "Sonos S2". Even when it works, sync and delay issues abound. At some point I decided to just assume this speaker is only g

I was wondering what the latest news is on being able to hear BBC Sounds on my Sonos speakers.I don’t seem to be able to get that BBC service on my Sonos.It seems the comments answers to the FAQ’s are a year old.

My new Sonos Portable needs an overnight charge, is it normal that it should take so long? Also the charge dissipates quickly, no where near the advertised number of hours. Also it switches itself on when i use the app regardless of whether I plan to listen to it which probably does not help battery life. Do I have a faulty battery? Can it be programmed to only come on via its switch 

Hi,My Roam stopped charging few weeks ago. I already tried a lot of charging cables and adapter (of course with more than the 1.5 A - my standard outlet has 5V and 2.4 A). The Charging sets did work at the beginning, but stopped working a weeks from nowWhen I plug in a cable, the LED is red. But even after days it is still red, and not able to start! When I use the Wireless Charging Stand, the LED is not shining at all. So it seams it is not charging at all. I try to start by clicking the button on the back for about 30 seconds or more. And nothing happens. No sound or anything. It really seams to be dead right now. (Even right after days of red charging LED) What can I do now? Any additional tips how I get it working again? Thanks

I have a pair of Fives, stereo paired, Trueplay tuned and in the horizontal position. I’m curious how the soundstage would sound if I were to change speaker orientation to Vertical. If I turn to vertical does that cancel my saved Trueplay setting so that when I turn them back to horizontal I would need to redo the trueplay?   Or does it remain as it was?

This has probably already been asked, but I tried putting "The OS on this device is no longer supported" into the search tool and nothing came back so I’ll ask anyway…I still have a couple of old devices which I manage using the S1 app on my phone, which is an Android-based Moto G4, running Android 7 (kernel version 3.10.84).When I start up the Sonos S1 app, I get a banner at the top saying "The OS on this device is no longer supported", and providing a link to a Sonos article that says that the S1 app requires Android 5, 6 or 7.Any suggestions how to resolve this? I also have the S2 app installed on the phone, but even if I make sure that none of the S2 components are running (by rebooting the phone before running the S1 app) it still gives me the message.It’s not an entirely trivial error report, because it stops me from doing most of the things that I want to do, such as adding a radio station - that is not allowed by the app if your phone is deemed to be “too old” - even if it isn'

I am trying to buy a pair of flexson ajustable stands for  Sonos oneSL speakers.but they are out of stock. Has flexson stopped trading.

On Prime Video today I played some content that has previously output Dolby Atmos  (since May 11) on my setup (Fire Stick 4K; Sonos Arc w/One SL surrounds; Roofull HDMIswitcher; HDFury Arcana, firmware .84).The movies/shows are:  The Aeronauts 4K (watched in Atmos last week) Carnival Row 4K (tested Atmos) Jack Ryan 4K (tested Atmos) Suspiria 4K (tested Atmos)Available audio is only Dolby Digital Plus.  Sonos S2 app now displays Dolby Digital Plus 5.1 instead of Dolby Atmos.(Still getting Atmos music from the Tidal Music app on the Fire Stick 4K.)Can someone with same or other setupconfirm this?
