Hi all,I have bought PLay 3 to use with my PC mainly for video calls and Youtube. Seems like it cannot be used with Youtube that I play a song directly I have to use the app which is pretty useless and old.No idea what to do seems like I have wasted my money.

I have surround sound for my tv so a Sonos sound bar, sub and a pair of Sonos ones, a play 5 and a one in the kitchen but I’m building an extension and want to fit a pair of ceiling speakers for the TV, I don’t want to use it with anything else other than Sonos equipment, so do I need an amp?

I see so many threads here on installing Sonos Amp/Connect Amp inside and run speaker wires outside. Have any one successfully ran this box outside in an outdoor rated enclosure with appropriate heating/cooling ? any suggestions appreciated. I totally get it this box is not outdoor rated for winter especially..but wondering if peeps have found a solution to make it work

Hello everyone. I am looking for some advice on setting up my Sonos Amp in-ceiling speakers and Sonos Beam to effectively have a 5.1 surround sound configuration. The current sound is definitely not optimal. The beam is too soft during one on one conversations/dialog scenes and the ceiling speakers are too loud during action scenes with background audio to hear anything else. I’ve tried adjusting the Surround “TV Volume” but I just can not seem to find an optimal setting for both the Beam and Ceiling speakers to work together. The Sonos amp is connected to four in-ceiling Sonance speakers (two L and two R), and all four are located behind the optimal viewer seating area. I then have a Sonos Beam under the TV with HDMI and may plan is to add a Sonos Sub at a later time. Nothing is wired to Ethernet, and nothing is wired together, just managing it all on the Sonos app. I obviously setup the surrounds one I plugged in the Beam, because that option became ava

Hello,I would like to control the volume levels of my two Sonos One SL separately although they are paired. To be more precise, I need one of the Sonos to be louder than the other one (they are placed in 2 different rooms, one needs low level and the one needs a higher volume level). Is this possible ? Currently when I adjust the volume locally on one of the Sonos, it adjusts it on the other one too.Thanks for your help !

Hi,How do I update my first and last name on my account?Thanks.

I know there’s threads of this but it’s blowing me away how any blu rays I buy have DTS audio and the Sonos Arc system doesn’t support it, it’s really mind blowing honestly.  There are so many people complaining of this here and elsewhere so obviously it’s not like it’s a minor inconvenience.  Is there not any possible way this could be added in the future Sonos?   Come on, do it.

I have read several reviews on the Move that Sonos will issue a firmware update that will allow the Move to perform True Play tuning via Bluetooth. Does anyone have knowledge of this update or know if it has already been issued? Thanks in advance for any answers

So I’m currently working on an experience in Chicago open to the public. We need to figure out a system for audio. We would love to work with Sonos.Here's our situation: We have two four-channel amps that each need four playback devices. The amplifiers are wired to existing speakers. Each amp channel needs a playback device. And we want to use Sonos with our system so that we can easily be controlled wirelessly through the app. Do you have suggestions for how to create a Sonos system with our current set up? Do you have playback devices that could work

I am using Amazon Music HD with Sonos S2 and can’t for the life of me figure out how to play a “Station” by an artist. I am looking to pick a band and then have the “Station” play back that artist and a collection of music from similar artists. I have Spotify premium and there is always a choice in S2 for playing a Station when you search for the artist. Is there something I am missing?? I can play stations from artists by doing it through the Amazon Music HD app and using Airplay, but I want to do it natively in the Sonos app….

Hi, I have the sonos move and in my house I have 3 wifi. Every time i change location i have to reconnect my sonos to the wifi and writing again the password. what is the solution that sonos can change wifi by himself? thanks

Ok after several weeks of this I can shareStart moan.While the idea that ALL iot devices should sit on an iot vlan SONOS resists that to its maximum. The iot vlan only has one basic change over a standard LAN in this instance (was planning on tightening up further later) was that ONLY the HOME network could open connections to the IOT vlan not the other way around. Changing the wifi  that Sonos uses is a a REAL PAIN INTHE ASS and you have to allow up to 2 hours per SONOS device to do it. It will require following instruction that do not work, Press and Hold these two buttons until you hear a chime, after 60 seconds no chime, start all over again. Connecting to SONOS wifi - failed move closer to device - ANY CLOSER and I would be INSIDE the SONOS. These games will go  one for a few hours - with 7 devices changing the WIFi took two days!!! It should NEVER be this hard. Once completed AIRPLAY & Alexa

Hello - I have the new Sonos amp and have plugged an spdif switch into the hdmi port via the spdif to hdmi cable and I have a phono preamp plugged in to the rca inputs. I have autoplay turned on for both the line in and for the TV. Based on searches in this community it sounds like the TV will always win out. I think this explains why even when I turn off my phono preamp and back in again and play a record the line in is not auto playing. So, my question is, is there an alternate way to get the line in to play other than many clicks on my iphone to dial up line in (this assumes I didn’t forget my iPhone upstairs)? It would be great if there was someway to do it with a button press on the amp similar to how I can hold the play button to join the most recent speaker already playing.  Or, am I missing something with autoplay and is it not behaving as expected? Thanks in advance. Matt

so here we go … I just bought a house and since I sold mine with my equipment (Sony), I’m ready to buy brand new equipment (SONOS).  The house comes with ceiling speakers (office, laundry!, master bath, master bedroom, kitchen, living room, outdoor upstairs, outdoor downstairs).  It also comes with 7 speakers for the TV area.  so … I don’t need to buy any speakers (other than a subwoofer to achieve 7.1).  Everything arrives in a utility closet upstairs (TV is downstairs).  While I’d like to use WIFI, the house also has cat 5 (or 6, not sure yet I have not moved in just yet) throughout the house.  Here’s what I want to achieve -play music in every zone - either same or different music from same or different sources looks like I have 8 zones + the TV) setup the surround sound 7.1 I don’t need the TV to play in other rooms (just surround sound / media room is enough) TV is a smart TV Samsung From what I’ve seen there is an HDMI cabl

Long time Sonos user here. I have an old ZP90 (first gen Connect/Port) and slowly it seems like my ZP90 is slowing down or not connecting at all at random times ever since the S1 and S2 platform integration.   What i don’t understand is why the latest Connect remains so damn expensive for a “Line out” box.  From the outside looking in from a consumers perspective: Though apples to oranges, fundamentally the Play5 and other Sonos products offer similar network/wireless capabilities as they are relatively the same Sonos internal infrastructure and computer proprietary integration, Ethernet ports, Line in, etc. Those products offer much more by being indeed a multi speaker device with drivers that will produce you sound.  Great sound at that. The Connect and Port on the other hand is a Sonos enclosed box with a rear I/O panel, and with internals similar to whatever Sonos product lesser in price you want to name off. So Why such the mark up? Our feeling is Sonos som

Is this possible? If there are ways then what do I need? Thanks.

The new update of the Sonos S1 app keeps nagging me to upgrade to S2 which I can’t do as it breaks my investiment into the Sonos infrastructure Play 5 Gen 1 etc. Can I turn this off? It’s constant nagging irritates the hell out of me and is starting to put me off using my Sonos products. Certainly will stop me buying more….. 

I’m having trouble deciding how to add a soundbar to my living room setup. I currently have a Sonos amp driving the 4 ceiling speakers in that room and the tv sound coming through those ceiling speakers. I’m not a fan of the all tv sound coming from the ceiling and would like to add a soundbar. I’m overwhelmed by all the options and looking for anyone that has a similar situation or any advice. There are speaker cables for a left, right, and center channel behind the TV that run to the server closet, but there isn't any room for speakers other than a soundbar. So far I’ve narrowed it down to these solutions.Just get a normal soundbar and leave the Sonos system and TV sound separate. No need for a Sonos soundbar if I’m keeping them separate.  Get a Sonos Beam and connect the the 4 ceiling speakers as SR and SL speakers in the Sonos app. I didn’t think the arc would be a good match as its atmos speakers’ sound would be coming from the same area as the cei

I have 6 Polk Audio RC80i 2-way Premium In-Ceiling 8" that I would like to run off 1 Sonos Amp.  Is that possible?  It sounds like you can using Sonos’ architectural speakers because they are all identical, but is that possible with 6 identical Polk speakers?Thanks!

Hi. I was thinking about adding a couple of rear speakers to my Beam Soundbar, would a couple of Roam speakers do the job wirelessly. The fact they are battery powered , would make them ideal for temporary placement in my TV room, when watching content that warrants good surround sound, while the rest of the time, they could live in my kitchen and conservatory.?

I need help please.  Reaching out to Avantree to fix my problem but getting no help with my new equipment.I have the QN55Q8FNA Samsung Smart TV which has both the digital audio access and the HDMI ARC access as well as Bluetooth and Wi Fi.  I have hearing loss, so I purchased the Avantree wireless headphones and the Avantree Orbit transmitter so my wife can hear the audio from the tv speakers or Sonos Beam soundbar whuch we just purchased, at her preferred level and I can hear through the headphones at my preferred level.  Until I purchased and added the Sonos Beam Soundbar, I could hear through the Avantree Headphones and my wife could hear the tv speakers simultaneously and she and I could watch tv together.  We decided to add the Sonos as an audio improvement over the tv speakers.  I’m very disappointed that I can get no help to remedy this!  Should I return the orbit and get the Oasis Plus model?  What should I do?  The Sonos Beam sounds great but I cannot get it and the

Hi all, I am about to purchase a Sonos move , I already have 2 Sonos play 1's connected with a sonos beam grouped in one room.My question is will I be able to use my move seperately and together with my existing Room (as above) when I so wish please ? 

I’ve been using a sonos beam with my Q80T for about six months with zero issues.  Now out of no where starting a couple days ago, every time I turn on the TV, it’s switched back to using the TV speakers. Things I’ve tried:turning off/on anynet+ unplugging and replugging power to both beam and TV using a different hdmi port and cable factory reset on the TV  I’m still able to manually switch audio output to “hdmi receiver” but then if I turn the TV off and on, it’s back on TV speakers. And sometimes it seems like sound isn't even coming out of the sound bar when I manually switch to it. it’s incredibly frustrating and I’m not sure what else I can do to fix it. 

I am looking for best wireless speakers. A lot of document recommended KEF lsx , klipsch fives and naim muso qb... Why should I buy sonos five?

I tuned in to SomaFM’s Groove Salad streaming channel this morning for the first time in a while and a lengthy ad played through my Sonos system before the music started, mid-song. It wasn’t an ad from SomaFM, they’re an ad-free listener-supported service. I donate to them periodically. Sonos apparently wants money for connecting me to freely available content I’m already paying SomaFM for (through donations), which is infuriating.I switched my connection to SomaFM to go through “Sonos Radio”, back when Sonos introduced their Radio service, because that way I at least got (a single) cover art image for the station, rather than a generic gray square. Previously, I had set up streaming to several of SomaFM’s channels through the Sonos app on my Mac (because Sonos doesn’t allow this functionality on iOS for some reason), by adding the URLs directly. Except, they end up as TuneIn “stations” rather than direct URLs. This is also infuriating - is Sonos really not capable o
