Talk Sonos Products

Hello. I've always used traditional passive speakers with an integrated amplifier, but recently, I've become fascinated by wireless speakers. While browsing online, I was drawn to the Sonos Five, and I'm considering purchasing a pair. However, today I came across numerous negative reviews about the Sonos app for Android, citing issues such as connectivity problems, volume control malfunctions, and more. For me, these issues would be unacceptable in a wireless speaker. I’ve read that some of these problems have been fixed, but when spending over 1000 euros on a pair of Fives, I expect a stable connection and a fully functional Android app. What’s the situation like in 2025 according to your experience?

Hi I have a play 5 gen2 that is dead ”no light, no sound, nothing”When I disassemled the speaker and took out the powerboard pcb it has 3 big resistors that was BURNED ”R2483, R2482, R2496” And futher inspection I saw other components that was burned ”R12”, R106, R108, D3, U2, Mosfet transistor So I started to investigate what these components does and what values it has, I searched in this forum, groups on facebook and other forums but only found the value of ”R2483, R2482, R2496,R108” And the mosfet transistor got text on it so I could identify it The rest of components I took help of chatGPT to find values of, arter HOURS of talk with it and many datasheets  -R2483, R2482, R2496 is 0,3 OHM | 0,5W | 1206 Format | Current sensing resistor-Mosfet is a 65E6600 (Main switching mosfet)-U2 is a NCP1937B1G | A controller IC to controll the gate of the mosfet with PWM trought pin 14-R12 is calculated to 0,36 OHM | Current sensing resistor | 0,125W | 0402 Format-R106 is calculated to be betwe

What’s the latest on any support (official or otherwise) for playback of music mixed in 5.1 via .m4a files?I have tried copying some of the content to my Sonos library and then tried a library update, but it still doesn’t show up.Am I out of luck? 

If the Arc Ultra is 9.1.4 by itself what is the configuration/classification if I’ve added two Era 300’s and a Sub?

Which TVs support automatic lip sync with the ARC Ultra. (I just bought the Arc Ultra and now I am trying to buy a TV to fit it! The contenders WERE the 98” Samsung, Sony, LG and TCLs. None support anything other than “Manual” sync adjustment --- Bad solution, lip sync is different on every network, channel and device.I am a perfect customer: Sonos Arc Ultra first, now go find a TV! Please support my support! Post a list.Instead of working backward one TV at a time, can you supply a list of the above and then I will buy one.I am going on about 20 hours of research, not 1 TV claims that Automatic Lip Sync is a feature supported. Don’t use CoPilot for this question! It is the first time that I have seen CoPilot get a question of mine wrong!!!

Kann ich einen Kopfhörer in mein Sonos System einbinden und damit den Ton aus dem Fernseher parallel hören?

Hi, I have a beam, ones and sub for the lounge - I understand the surround setup and how sonos works pretty well. But I also have a Move that I was planning to put in our new open plan kitchen to connect to the TV in there for listening to the TV and music.Can I just check with someone; if I connect a new beam to the dining room tv via HDMI, I can group the sound coming from the TV to the move in the kitchen (beam and move playing the same sound)? In addition to that I know (99% sure) I can also send the lounge 5.1 sound to the kitchen should I wish. Thanks in advance.

Hello dear community.I am coming from a full Beam 2 setup with Ones and Sub 3. Got Ultra a week ago and would like to share a few thoughts/questions. I will not get into the details but had to sell my full Beam setup some time ago and Ultra standalone is my new toy :) Has OG Arc always been so “trebly”?Treble on the Ultra seems to be very pronounced. Depends on the content of course but sometimes it is almost sibilant with Trueplay or not. For reference - i just got single Era 300, put it in the same room, same place. I had to dial treble on the Ultra to - 6 for it to sound like Era 300 on defaults. Don’t get me wrong i love treble and i even add a few notches on my car stereo but this is excessive. My room is not an echo chamber either.Does adding a Sub and full set of rears help with sound signature on the Arc?This is very surprising, never had it with Beam.Trueplay.Quick tune is awesome, really. Rounds up Ultra, tightens up the bass, all good. But Advanced sounds awful. My MLP is ag

Hi, I have a Sonos ray connected to 2x Sonos era100 connected as surround sound the rear audio continues to stutter I have changed distance settings as found in other posts which makes no difference is there something simple that I’m missing? 

I’ve noticed that when my Sonos Roam is connected via Bluetooth on iOS/iPadOS, the Sonos app doesn’t display any battery information. It works fine when connected over Wi-Fi, and I can see the battery percentage there, but nothing shows up in the app when using Bluetooth.Is this a known issue, or is there something I need to configure differently? Has anyone else experienced this on iOS or iPadOS? Any tips or workarounds would be great!

The latest App update (ios 80.14.09) still hasn’t fixed the nightmare that you can’t switch between speakers. Why have you removed such an important part of the app. It is now so cumbersome to do it, and then if you’ve initiated music from other app (such as Spotify) you don’t have a chance of controlling your own system. Help!! 

Songs from Plex and Bandcamp can be added to SONOS Favorites, but they are immediately greyed out there.Meanwhile Album from Plex and Bandcamp work fine; Songs from Apple Music seem working ok too.   

 How much longer must we suffer?! This app is garbage!The old app actually let you control volume with the one buttons! Amazing! The old app let you see what was playing on the screen! Amazing!The new app barely functions! Unacceptable! The volume is glitchy, the interface has too many layers, the app is not intuitive, and on and on!It’s been months and nothing has been resolved! Terrible company!

We bought our 1st Sonos product, the ARC Ultra and wondered if it is OK to not wall mount.

I was wondering if it’s possible to add a pair of Sonos Ones to my existing home theater setup. I currently have the below 3.1 setup, ideally I’d like to add the pair of Ones for a 5.1Current setup - Sonos Arc, Amp (powering 2 rear Sonos in ceiling speakers), Sonos SubIf it is possible, how do I add it to the existing setup via the app? The app makes it seem as if I can only add additional in ceilings (see attached screenshot). If it’s not possible, would adding an additional pair of in ceilings be the path of least resistance for what I’m looking to achieve?  

volume setting of roams is difficult. If the volume of one is changing, the complete system is also influated

Kan ik de app Anytune koppelen met een sonos one luidspreker. 

I have a Play 5 Gen 1 speaker for my garden. I have to play it through the S1 App on my Android phone on a separate network. I also have a Play 1 and Arc using my S2 App on an iPad. The Play 5 worked well for most of 2024, but started suggesting I update before Christmas. I have set it to not receive updates as instructed by Sonos. It will now not let me connect to my music services unless I update. Why am I receiving suggestions to update?Has it suddenly become compatible with S2.How do Zi break out of this mess - other than the obvious. Thanks

Hi all! Hope to get some guidance.In essence, I've inherited one Sonos Play 1 speaker and two Play 3. I'd like to connect them to work as speakers for my TVs, which is one Philips from 2019 and a Samsung the Frame from 2023.Is it possible to connect the speakers directly to the TVs? As I've tried to read up on this, it seems like I need a soundbar to go with the speakers, but I'm not sure.. From what I understand as well, the Frame does not have the right "line out" which is needed to connect via cable.All advice here is highly appriciated!

Going to buy a soundbar.Sonos Playbar vs Sonos Beam Gen 2. Is there a big difference in the sound of these two? What would you choose? I can buy a used Playbar for around 300 euros or a new beam gen 2 for 370 euros. I'm going to buy 2 Sonos one/play one and a sub.

Hello!As I’ve seen more and more apps adopt Live Activities, I have begun noticing their absence for the Sonos app on iOS.  There are a few simple use cases that I think would be better achieved through a Live Activity vs having to do a heavy load of the app as is required today: Quick playback controls: play/pause/next/previous of current playing content Volume controls for the currently playing group Playing track information, including playback progress and album art. To keep things simple, I would suggest the Live Activity would only provide the above for the last selected and active (playing) speaker group from within the app. This avoids over designing the live activity to have to have a group picker which I think start to over complicate the experience.  This would make it incredibly simple to perform some of the most basic and essential functions of my Sonos experience from my device’s Lock Screen and even on my Apple Watch.  Thanks for the consideration!

I can not find any Directions and pictures for installing the Ultra Arc flush wall mount.

I’m considering replacing my connect amp so I can update my system from the s1 app. My question is what is the best option? - by best I mean bang for buck because I’m not planning on dropping g a load of cash on a load of new components. Current situation: my main listening is a connect amp running a pair of floor standing speakers - mission cirrus so decent enough but nothing special. I also have a pair of play 1s and a pair of one sl’s.Aim: I want to use the updated app so, short of splitting the system, the connect amp will need to be replaced. Connecting to the TV would be a bonus. I live in a compact open plan house so playing at high volume can disturb the rest of the family. Possible options I am considering: find a 2nd hand gen2 connect amp, connect a sub with a pair of either play1 or one sl, replace the amp with a soundbar with the option of using a pair of speakers for surround. Any recommendations please?

Hi all here.I have a Sonos Ray speaker that I’ve set up and connected to my system. I’ve also paired the remote control with the Sonos system, and it should now be able to control the volume up and down. The TV is a new LG 43" 4K LED TV (model 43UT91006LA). Although it was challenging, I managed to connect the remote control to the Sonos Ray multiple times. However, the system still isn’t able to adjust the volume. What could be causing this issue?Hope some knows what to do here.Moderator edit: Corrected Roam to Ray

I have a setup with HomePods 2 connected as a Stereo Pair to AppleTV. But I need a bit more bass.Can Sonos Sub or SubMini provide me that extra bass I’m looking for. Can they connect directly or will I need to use a bridge like Belkin SoundForm Connect using AirPlay2 to connect. As I do not have the option of Apple AirPort Express which seems to be the best solution and was suggested by many online.
