Hi,I’ll be buying the Epson EH-TW7000 projector soon and I kinda want to stay with my Sonos setup. Ideally I’d buy a Sonos Move to connect via Bluetooth, but due to SCMS-T it’s not supported. As I understand this leaves me with:a) connecting and old (1. or 2. gen) apple tv to the projector and then using airplay to fetch the sonos. Not even entirely sure if that would fly. Has anyone tried?b) finding a non-sonos alternativeVery open to hearing what c) might be as long as it’s wireless. The projector will not be installed, but be used in various places in my apartment, so it needs to be portable.Thanks in advance.

Can you still trade in a unit that won’t power on ? I have a sonos connect that has never been connected to my system that won’t power on.   Can I trade this in or does it need to connect to my system ? Thanks for the help..  Burned by a looser from Kijii.  

Hello, I’m considering to get sonos equipment for home theater (beam + 2 one SL as rear speakers + sub).I have a turntable that I want to be able to listen on this system.Instead of buying a port, I consider buying a sonos 5 on wich you can plug an external source.—————————————————           TVsub    beam            sonos5 turntable         couchoneSL       oneSL—————————————————My question is, if everything is in the same room, will I be able to listen my records on every speakers at the same time (sonos 5 would « send » music on every other devices) ?If so, do you know how stereo will be rendered ? thank you for your help

Are there any plans for more in depth EQ settings / True Play for the Sonos Amp powering non Sonos speakers?I love my Sonos Amp but I'm very limited with it connected to a pair of Fyne Audio F501 floor standing speakers. Using Roon I can use a Parametric Equalizer which makes a huge difference to the overall sound coming out my speakers. Unfortunately though when I am using the S2 app I lose this capability. 

I am considering buying a Play 3 speaker with a smaller support speaker like a Sonus 1. One  concern I have is, can updates with the iphone, make the Sonus incompatible?

Tried a variety of different upnp servers - nothing displays under music browse (S2).  Does this feature actually work? 

We all know of the 65k limit of MP3’s that Sonos can handle.We also might now of Spotify playing the same songs over and over again for your daily mix…I now have a raspberry pi and mounted my music collectionI just had a brainf*t that maybe I could run a docker with icecast and dark ice: https://github.com/jwater7/docker-darkice And generate ‘radio stations’ to play may music. I searched only a little but could not find anything related quicklypre-requisite: I have my music organzied in genre/artist/albumI am playing around with nodejs and have build an interface to interact with the collection (the main idea was to move music out of my collection to reach the Sonos limit.I am thinking that it would be nice tocreate playlists on a scheduled basis (nightly) to have a fresh playlist in the morning keep track of tracks that have been played add albums to custom playlists (for today I want to listen to these albums) create ‘radiostations’ for different genres of music (combine bluegrass, c

As I finish my 30 day free subscription, wanted to jot down my quick thoughts on Sonos HD Radio and why I won’t be renewing (for now).The biggest reason is cost/value. $7.99 is a lot for what you are getting (and not getting). To be honest if they would have offered an annual subscription for $59.99 I probably would have bought but not for almost $100. If I were to give it a grade: Overall B-; Value D+; Features B-; Selections B+; Ease of Use A.My wife and I have listened to it all month (not using any other music services) to give it a fair shake. My kids use Apple Music exclusively so for them it doesn’t matter. Probably a half dozen stations we regularly listened to-Mellow Morning (every morning), Cruise Control, Mainstream, Pure Unplugged, Radio a Gogo, Rock Pantheon, Rock Road Trip, Alternative Energy; used Pink Noise/Rain every night to go to sleep; even the Holidaze to set up the tree and decorations. Sampled about a dozen others to try them out. Great stations, very different m

I guess the guys and gals at Sonos would prefer I just buy another (or two) Sonos 1 to connect to the Beam to make for surround sound 😄 , but is it possible to ‘pair’ a sonos 1 and 3 to a Beam to make up the surround sound? Thank You.

Hello, Is it possible to add a music service before connecting to a Sonos product?I am trying to test the connection to Apple Music before connecting to a product owned by a venue that will be playing my music over a Sonos product. Which means that I am unable to connect to the product now. Right now, ‘Add Services & Voice’ is greyed out in the iOS Sonos app. Thanks!

I've been a Sonos user since 2010. I started with a Play 5 gen 1, then bought a Connect Amp, swapping to a Connect a couple of years later. Five years later I bought a Sub and two Play 1s. Used a boost gen 1 (called something else) and then a boost. Initially I had some interference issues, big microwave in the kitchen. But the I had 7 or 8 years of completely trouble free listening, networked hard disk and streaming via Deezer.And then........? I think it started with the new Sonos app, the lack of support for old gear (play 5, Connect) etc. Sonos bombarded me with adverts for the new app, I couldn't turn off the advert that appeared on the old controller.Then I found that support for Tunein radio got worse, couldn't listen to pre aired radio shows.I took the fateful decision to split my system, I didn't need multi room throughout the house. That ruined everything, the system is now so unstable. S1 is not too bad, Sonos is unreliable. Can't use boost with Sonos. Tried support, but I'm

Hi. I’ve discovered BBC R1 Dance recently whilst out on the bike, it’s just the ticket for some background tunes at 9pm cruising round some nice quiet summery lanes.Just asked my Sonos One to chuck it on at home via Alexa, and it couldn’t find it.I searched manually in the app, and sure enough, it isn’t there.TuneIn has every single BBC Station other than R1 dance it seems.Anyone got any ideas?I’ve read that you can AirPlay some BBC stuff to a Sonos, but I’m all android so not an option.Seems a weird, and annoying, oversight by someone somewhere.

I have SONY headphones which I connect to my 2020 Samsung UE65TU8500.When I try to connect my headphones they change back to Sonos Arc after a few seconds. I have tried to adjust the EXPERT settings on TV but without success.Any suggestions please?Thank you

I have a completely wired ethernet configuration. I have a play 3, ZP80, and playbar all hardwired through ethernet and a computer also wired using the desktop app to control them. I have the wireless radios all disabled on the 3 players. My problem is my android phone also hardwired with ethernet will not allow me to see rooms or play music this way. Is there something I’m doing wrong to get the android to work in wired mode? Since the desktop app functions in this manner, I’m lead to believe the android apps can also, but I can’t seen to get it to function. Any help is greatly appreciated! Before you give advice, I’m not interested in using any kind of wireless transmission at all. Yes, I do know this was how Sonos was designed, but I only want everything wired. Thank you!

Why is the software so horrible.  I hate our products. 

Hi,Is there anysound lag when using Netflix or YouTube on a Mac with a Sonos Roam ?

Literally purchased my Roam 4 days ago. I was able to fully charge it 3 days ago. Today it has 4% battery and I haven’t even used the speaker yet, except to set it up.  I went to charge it today, and it shows the lightening charge indicator over the batter in the Sonos app, but the device keeps dropping in battery percentage. It’s now down to 2% 20 minutes after I plugged it into charge. What gives? $170 for a paperweight that I can’t even use?? I've been so please with my Sonos Ones. I bought 4 of them for my apartment. But what a disappointment this Roam is. I have a Bose portable speaker that I use every day at work for the last 6 years, and it still continues to work beautifully and charge correctly. What’s the point of a portable speaker that dies quickly??

There is an update 13.1.1 and I’m not sure what it added. However it removed my trueplay turning and is asking me to retrueplay tune.

Noticed That a local retailer has the playbase open box for 200.00 or new 286.00 (USD).  I know that this is a discontinued item, and nowhere near the Arc, but the price seems right, I already have a pair of Play 1s in my living room.  Think I could get a few years of enjoyment out of it and would it add any additional dimension to music if paired up with the play 1s.  It would easily accommodate  my current setup both physically and astetically fit my  Any thoughtsappreciated...

I’m moving soon into a place with 5 wired, in-ceiling speakers, but also have 2 sonos play:1s currently. I was thinking of getting the Sonos amp to utilize both, but not sure if that would be the best way to connect and use all of these speakers (or if that’s even possible). Or I guess I could use 2 of the ceiling speakers and my 2 sonos speakers to create surround too I think.  Let me know if anyone has any advice!

For years now users have requested you allow us to have more detailed volume control. The app allows you to use increments of 1, which too dramatically change home theater volume at low levels, and IR remotes change it by 2 without a way to adjust the increments.  Sonos is in the home theater market now and is still using an engineering model tailored to music. Will you please allow us to have more control over how our systems sound? Or at the very least change the volume amplification intervals at low volume?!Sonos should do a better job listening to customers when they sell $750 soundbars and subwoofers designed mainly for home theater.

I cannot get the MOVE to connect to my imac as a speaker option. We have a sonos beam & a move. They both work fine on our Iphones. Also both work on the sonos app on the computer…  We often want to play to the Beam & the Move at the same time from itunes/music app on the imac.FYI. We are operating big sir 11.2.3 so we do have airplay 2.  The beam has always shown up as a speaker option ( in system sound preferences and so it shows up in the bluetooth & wifi) So we can airplay to it just fine from the itunes/music speaker toggle. We have never been able to get the Move to show up as a speaker in the imac system. It doesn’t show on any of the help forum answers I’ve tried either. Below is what I have tried….setting it to bluetooth on the move and checking to pair a new bluetooth option. It never shows up. I think its’ connected to the wifi because it works on all the iphones and apps.Removing it from our phones bluetooth then trying computer...since one article suggested tha

Why cant  i play from any app to sonos like Iphone.? I cant play audio book on sonos. APP name  ( Hljóðbókasafn íslands) I only get to play audio files on my phone.    

I have the Xfinity XG1v4 DVR.  I just noticed today, in the Sonos app, that I’m only receiving PCM stereo on every channel.  (I have an Arc, two subs, and surrounds.)  When I change my source from the XG1v4 box, to my Apple 4K TV or my smart apps on my Samsung TV, I start receiving Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Plus, according to the Sonos app.   Does anyone else have a similar setup and receiving better audio from their XG1v4

Using airplay for music on  my I pad , the sound is not that great, poor base  and  stereo not that great.I looked in system/ audio in but it does not sayanything  ie stereo etc.I had a playbar before I changed to the arc and theplaybar was much better.
