Hi, I've got a PS5, Sonos beam and LG UM7400PLB, I know that DTS won't play properly unfortunately which is a bit rubbish! But I'm seeing some 4k discs now have Dolby Atmos, how would that play with my system? Would it just play as stereo like DTS does it would it play as surround sound? I know that the beam doesn't do Atmos but just wondering how it would work?Thanks!

ROAM HAS STOPPED CHARGING ALTHOUGH IT DID CHARGe AT FIRST.NOW THeRE IS N LIGHT AT ALL 

The Sonos model S29 is the Symfonisk Picture Frame, which is as it sounds: a picture frame with a speaker built-in. Some details have been posted on the Verge, which confirm many of the details that I have been seeing since January.The codename I saw on one prototype was “TITAN-redacted” which is similar to the Verge’s story.The speaker specs are similar to the Play:1 and the existing IKEA devices. There is no mic and insufficient horsepower to run Alexa or Google.I am guessing they would make great “invisible” rear speakers for surround systems, as well as being very spousal-approved audio devices in the home.As the device is not on the FCC site yet it must be at least a few months from release.The Verge article is here: https://www.theverge.com/2021/4/6/22370130/ikea-sonos-symfonisk-2021-lamp-wall-art-artwork-speaker

I have TruAudio system. My amp is the Crown 1000. I want to run it through my Sonos system and would prefer to have the ability to control volume via my phone on the Sonos App. Can someone please advise me on what parts I will need to make this happen?

Sonos no Bluetooth workaroundWould it be possible to use a Sonos speaker through airplay when the wifi provider my phone is connected to is not suitable to connect a Sonos to (the wifi in many universities requires a username and password to login, and even then can be problematic in terms of tethering devices together on the network) I’ve read online that airplay can work as a sort of hotspot for connection so I’m wondering wether it would work in a scenario where I was unable to connect my Sonos to the network? Barring this if any users have had any experience using Sonos in university or that sort of username and password type of network any help would be appreciated

Cross posted from /r/SonosI'd like to make the most out of my 30% upgrade from my Play: 5 (1st gen) purchased in mid 2015. I currently use it in my dining room primarily - it sits atop a bookshelf - but also will use it outdoors when entertaining due to its superior volume over my Sonos One and more portable than my Beam. I considered upgrading my Beam to a more full HT setup, but as my living room isn't square, setting up surround sound wouldn't work nicely even using in ceiling or wall speakers, in relation to where people sit. Adding to that the fact my wife would rather I not spend more than what the Play: 5 was, I am leaning towards something of a hybrid approach that I would like insight into: Connect Amp + hard switch speaker selection.  I know it’s possible but I have yet to find a switch that would let me alternate one set vs another so I might just unplug/plug the other speakers when needed, so I don’t turn up the outdoor speakers and blast the indoor way too much.  Less of a

The Sonos ARC wall mount is installed flush against the wall, providing that "floating" sensation to the ARC. The mount has a bump in the center, precluding approximately ½" and 5" wide, most likely to avoid interference with an outlet placed right behind. See picture then questions:Since the ARC is only 3.5" tall and an outlet is 3 ¼" tall x 5" wide, it seems the entire center area of the wall mount is occupied by the outlet. But what about the HDMI and Cat6 wires, it seems if routed from above or below they would be visible; from the sides they would interfere with the flush mount. And what about the slack of the power cable, where do we hide it?Some recommend to just drill a small hole behind the mount and fish the power+HDMI+Cat6 wires from the media cabinet below, however this is not code-compliant (power cords are not in-wall rated). Others recommend to get a recessed mini-outlet with line and low-voltage, however these multi-purpose outlets use Romex electrical wires which are a

Hi. I have a beam which I use often. I also have an old school vinyl set up in my other room. Is it possible to connect a zp90 to my amps auc so that I can stream music through my amp? if not, what is the best way to do this? thanks in advance. R 

I currently have a Play 5 and a Move and was wondering the following:Can I run an RCA stereo cable from my DJ mixer ‘master out’ into the Sonos Amp to incorporate my Sonos speakers into my home DJ set up?Thanks

I have an extensive Sonos setup but have not used TruePlay.  I am not an Apple person but may wish to acquire an ios device for the sole purpose of configuring TruePlay.  What would be the best ios device to look for for this purpose?

Hi I’m controlling sonos on an Iphone 11 Pro Max via the Sonos app (my speakers are not airplay compatible) and neither the hardware volume controls on the side of the iphone 11 Pro Max, nor the volume slider on the iphone lock screen, are able to control the volume. The only way I can control the volume is via the slider in the app.I have tried turning off and on “hardware volume controls” and “lock screen controls” in the app settings, as well as reinstalling the app, but the problem persists.I would like to select and play all my music within the Idagio app, which streams to Sonos, but even when I play music that I have selected via the browse function in the sonos app the problem persits.

Why cant I see sonos arc (paired with 2 play 1) on my room list.  When I had playbar on sonos 1 app I could see it on my list as living room and play music through it.

Hello, I’m purchasing a house that has a room wired with 5 ceiling speakers. The speakers are Pyle PDIC1661RD. If I connect two speakers in parallel to each channel, will Sonos Amp be able to drive them? Will the audio output/volume suffer, or will it be adequate? Any gotchas?Speaker specs:MAX Power Output: 200 Watt Impedance: 16 Ohms Sensitivity: 88 dB Frequency Response: 70Hz-20kHzGiven the mediocre speakers, my use case is ambient music with iPhone via Airplay. Occasionally, I may play my TV through these speakers too. In either case, I’m OK with stereo sound, or, even, mono from all 5 speakers. Thanks,MediocreFred.

Why dose TV and Music not have separate volume settings and bass and treble. I set the way I like my music to sound, then I turn my TV on. And I then need to adjust the sound settings for the TV because it’s just got way to much Bass. Back to playing my music and again I need to adjust settings. why can’t we have a music preset and tv preset  . And why can’t I have a way to add the subwoofer to my other play one speakers, it’s connected to my surround sound setup for the tv   

Hi, I am planing to buy a soundbar in India and have shortlisted Sonos Arc soundbar.  While reading a review, I read that Sonos TruePlay does not work with Android devices. I could not understand what does it mean.. can I not use it as I don't have any Apple device.If yes, any other alternative in India for a soundbar?Also, does it work well without Sub and SL?

Hello,So my issue is during setup of my brand new out of the box Sonos Arc there was clipping/crackling coming from the right hand top side of the arc as you face it. I could hear it during setup before anything was done by me. To best describe the sound that I hear it’s the same as turning your speakers all the way up to the point where you hear the fabric of the speakers ripping. Which in my experience basically means my sonos speakers are clipping. The issue is not only did I did hear this on setup which leads me to believe my speakers may be faulty out of the box (very dissapointed).  But I also hear it when using the TV as normal and also when using the speakers at all for anything. Granted when the sound is turned down it cannot be heard unless I walk up to it an inspect it, and the intensity of the clipping varies based on what’s being played. But irrespective of this I know this sound should not be there and it sounds like one physical speaker is damaged. Is there a fix for thi

I amplaying Apple ALAC lossless streams on Sonos 5 speakers with my Apple MacBook Air. It sounds great!

When playing music from the local Android device everything plays fine up until my phone has been closed got about 5 to 10 minutes.  The now playing will show the old song and all the buttons become unresponsive.The song now playing also doesn't match to what was supposed to be next in the queue. Any suggestions? 

Hi, can any bright spark suggest a solution please. I want to connect the audio from my sky box (optical) to a Sonos Arc (HDMI). The Sky is connected to an Epson TW7100 projector but I would need a wireless solution for audio. Is this doable at all? So basically, what can I plug the optical audio into something to be picked up by the Arc. Thanks in advance.

My Playbase stopped working in Jan 21 and after DHL didn’t pick up my old unit I referred to Sonos directly. I have asked if I can change my option of replacement so that I have a new unit and then send the old one back in the packaging. This was in Feb 21 and I have heard nothing from Sonos at all!I have contacted a number of times to be advised that my case has been escalated, but I cannot talk to the dept dealing with the escalation? It has been nearly 6 months now and I am wondering what I have to do for a replacement to be sent? This is completely unacceptable and I basically have a £700 door stop in my living room.

Hi all,Not so much a Sonos as iTunes question.I have been following the ‘Help’ in this Apple link to assist in transferring my Tunes library to a new PC. I have already downloaded and isntalled the iTunes App on my new PC.https://support.apple.com/en-nz/guide/itunes/itns3230/windows Problem ( I think) I’m having is that to me its not that specific in the Backup section as to  which folder should be copied? The final instruction in that section says “ Drag the iTunes folder from its location to an external drive”. To me that means the whole ITunes folder ( and its subs) ?? However, in the next section on Restoring from Backup it says “ Important: It’s highly recommended that you put the iTunes folder back in [User folder]\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media.”Now, I don’t think they mean you  should paste the whole iTunes folder from the old machine into the iTunes Media sub-folder, do they?  So what folder/files should I copy from the old PC, and precisely where should I save them on the new one,

In the last year and a half I have bought the Sonos one (Alexa enabled) + 5 Sonos SL's and 2 weeks ago I bought the Sonos Sub Gen 3. I have it all grouped together as "everywhere". It really is awesome in my 2500 sq. Ft. Ranch style house. I have a question, it seems as though one of the speakers (the Sonos One) is not matching the volume of the rest of the group. What I mean is I use the Sonos App on my Note 20 and play exclusively music through Alexa and have the Sub linked to the Sonos One. I'm not sure why the Sliding gauge on all the speakers seem to be in "sync" w/ the exception of the Sonos One's output. Anyone have a "fix" Thanks in advance! & luv my Sonos'.

When Google Play Music was around, I'd use a play list from it on Sonos. Right next to each song in the playlist was a thumbs up/down -- super easy to vote on a song. Now that YouTube Music has replaced GPM... I no longer see the thumbs up/down in Sonos, which is a huge annoyance for me. Is there another music service that works w/Sonos like GPM did?My use case is super simple:I have one playlist (liked music) that I listen to on shuffle. When I come across a new band on say  I'll go and 'like' 10 or songs... add them to shuffle. Whenever something plays that I don't want to hear anymore, I could quickly unlike it in Sonos and it updated the playlist back at the GPM (or whatever service supports it).

Got my Roam today and was using it for the best part of 2 hours.All of a sudden the music stopped and I noticed the following error in the app:“Playback stopped in Sonos Roam. Your Spotify account is in use somewhere else”I have a family account so there’s no possibility that others in my family were using my account.  In the end I had to select the “sign out of all devices” option in Spotify and fingers cross it seems to have worked.First time I’ve seen this problem in the many years I’ve used Sonos and wasn’t sure if it was coincidental  with the new Roam device or if it was genuine problem.

My western digital mybook died and I need to replace it.  I tried using a WD My Cloud Home, but couldn’t get my sonos S1 to access the drive.  I tried to use WD customer service to resolve the problem, but found them lacking, and returned it.  I subsequently learned that I could have changed the settings on the drive (SMB1, SMB2, SMB3), but it was not easy to find that information.  Can anybody recommend an NAS that will work seamlessly with Sonos that is available today, and, preferably one that is easy to install and setup?  Any help would be appreciated.
