Buenas, Estoy pensando en adquirir una barra Sonos arc, sin embargo mi salón tiene una particularidad, y es que el techo además de ser más alto de lo habitual, está abuhardillado, por lo que no sé si esto podría afectar a la experiencia atmos. La inclinación es ascendente de izquierda a derecha del mueble de la televisión. Gracias.
Hi, I have my Project turntable connected to my pair of Sonos 5s. I have always known that there’s a delay but recently has been bothering me lately and now long for real time listening l, probably makes my analog vinyl ineffective. I’ve read somewhere but have forgotten where or how to resolve this. Is there anyone on this community that can help me to eradicate the delay as it would be greatly appreciated.Kind Regards,Will
When I change radio stations the Sonos screen does not change to the new station. Tonight, several hours ago, I was playing BBC Radio 4, I then switched to Radio 3, then BBCScotland, then Radio Swiss Classic, then MDR Rundfunk. However, the screen still tells me I’m playing BBC Radio 4 !!!Dear Sonos reps, were you aware of this, or am I first in line?
Hi,Just moved in to a home and I'd like to set up sonos in the common areas of the home. Mainly would be for music, but I'd like surround sound in the living (gathering) room if possible. Will often watch TV while in the kitchen as well, though. TV is on the right-most wall of the gathering room (see pictures below).Master currently has a sonos arc, sub, and 2 play 5s. I am looking to fill out the rest but am very unsure on placement, speakers to get, etc. Am hoping someone here would be able to provide guidance on where to start?Ive attached the layouts. Below are the rooms I was considering adding speakers for:Kitchen + Gathering + casual dining (as a group)Foyer Game roomUpstairs loftIf anyone has suggestions then they'd be very much appreciated!
Hello, I would like to know if a Sonos Ray would be compatible with an XGimi Mogo Pro 2 projector. The Sonos Ray has an optical input and the XGimi has an arc output and a jack output. How do I make the Ray work with the XGimi?
Does anybody know how exactly the Sonos Music Library update process works ?I get intermittent update failures when initiating the update from my PC Sonos Controller app, but the proverbial “//nas/music_share folder is no longer available” message will always appear within the first few seconds of the update. If it gets beyond this then the update proceeds for sometimes hours, but will work.I just wonder what exactly is happening in those first few seconds that causes the error and then when you get past this point what is then happening.My understanding from Sonos is that once the update is underway all communication is between the Sonos speakers and the NAS drive (in my case) and the index is then replicated around each of the speakers or Amps. Apart from initiating the update, the Controller (PC) plays no part.It seems there’s some initiation process right at the start that frequently fails, throws the error message to the Controller and doesn’t move on to the main update.Out of int
HiI need help.. I want to connect my beolab 8000 to a device so I can stream music by bluetooth/phone. Is the Sonos Port the right way to go or do they have other, better alternatives for this? The speaker has rca connections. thanx for help
Hi I’m currently building my home and we’re getting to the first fix electrics stage and I’m stuck on the design for my home cinema. My open plan living room is around 11 metres x 5 metres. The lounge area will be around 4.5 metres x 5 metres of that. My viewing sofa will back onto a wall and the projector screen will hang between the lounge “zone” and “dining” zone without any substantial furniture below (i.e not something I can put a Arc - not that I could then wire back to the projector without a very long hidden cable run). I really want Dolby Atmos set up with clear dialogue and great effects. I have yet to buy the new projector. I will be using an Apple TV for connection. My current idea is 2 x Era 300 for rears and a Sub but I am stuck for the front. I can mount speakers in or on the ceiling. In my last home I put a centre speaker in front of the projector screen on the ceiling. The more discreet however the better. Can anyone help solve my problem???
Has Sonos/Last.FM scrobbling been dropped? It’s not working for me (at least from my iOS app). This article seems to support the observation. For those of us using Sonos to stream otherwise unScorobble-able services like Apple Music, it's such a loss. I know Sonos has bigger problems, but if anything can be brought to bear from this end to get us scrobbling again, we'd be so grateful.
I have 6 and unless you want to play un plug one plug in other down load sonos 1 download sonos 2. redownload app, delete app plug in holding button until light blinks white and red. Hold button down until green light blinks complete trash
Hi everyone newbie here, I’m looking into purchasing some Sonos speakers and sound bar. Now in regards to sound bars which is better the old play bar or the beam or arc? Also what rear speakers would you pair with it the play 3’s or play 5’s gen 2 for a surround sound setup and sub? Now the last question what speakers would you have in the rest of the house I.e kitchen etc for just music? Thanks in advance
I have a Sonos Amp (connected via wire) to in-wall speakers in my living room, but in the dining room have a turn table. If I purchase a Port and wire it into the turntable, can it wirelessly connect to the Amp to play music from the living room in-wall speakers? Is there another product I should be purchasing instead of the Port that could do this?
I’m sorry, Patrick should be fired. I watched his new video and his comments are weak and frankly a bit to late. When they announced and forced us to use the new app, he was silent and then when he did speak up, he defended the app and pretty much told us to shut up and deal with it, that it was for the best. He does not care about the loyal customers. I have SONOS products all over our house and we take the portables everywhere. We have multiple outdoor speakers. We have multiple of each Move 2’s, Roam’s, Arc’s, Era 300’s, Era 100’s, One’s, Sub Mini’s (Just ready to upgrade to Sub gen 3’s then the new app was released so I held off...THANK GOD). The new app update was a disaster and once the thousands of complaints and obvious mistake on releasing the app, instead of bringing back the old app until the new one was fixed or re-created, they told us to chill out and deal with it. Then they told us they would be fixing everything..WRONG...Every update KIND OF fixed some things, but then
**Alternative app that works perfectly with my Sonos system**The Sonophone app works perfectly and now I can finally use my Sonos system again.The new Sonos app is unreliable and unresponsive. For Sonos to release this update with so many flaws was negligent and incompetent. It made my (extensive and very expensive) Sonos system unusable.
I have 2 trailers used for tailgating. Currently, we use a Yamaha receiver, B&W 601s, and Def Tech Super Cube sub in one trailer. We are using a Connect for music streaming. We want to extend to the other trailer with a play base and multiple Ones. WiFi is not a problem and neither is power. Will the Connect allow us to add the others and group everything?
I use my Roam in the bathroom where it does get wet through the steam. Although it is waterproof to a degree, I would like to prevent damage. I am informed that a waterproof cover is available. Is this correct?
Hi everybody, My question is simple : What is the best way to read/bypass the DTS’s codecs ? Setup : LG OLED C1 + Sonos Arc + Sub Gen 3 Thank you for replies
I’m about to get a Beam Gen2 and have a question regarding my setup to ensure I can get Atmos.Components:Samsung TV Sonos Beam Gen2 Nvidia Shield TV Pro 2017 (supports Atmos passthrough)The TV has 2 HDMI ports, 1 regular, 1 eArc. I imagine the setup to be, connect Shield TV to regular HDMI, Beam to eArc. If I’m playing content supporting Atmos on the Shield TV (Netflix UHD for example) will this output Atmos audio to the Beam? Thanks in advance.

Finally after lots of battles, I have enabled Sonos to play an Apple music track . Two questions: why doesn’t it report what it’s playing and separately: why can’t I edit tracks in my music library - perfectly possible under previous iterations.
Just commenting here. I suppose I’m yet another frustrated user approaching the end of my Sonos relationship. I have mostly wired Sonos amps with a few scattered wireless devices (soundbars and freestanding Sonos speakers. I’ve had constant issues for years. sporadic functionality. Everyone’s answer always seems to be unstable network. But I’m pretty confident that’s not the problem. If so it is the only set of devices that ever has an issue. today I deleted and reloaded the Sonos app rebooted my wireless rebooted all my Sonos devices trying to fix a problem. . Sonos sees titles online just fine, it can see the Devices on my network , but when you go to play a title it stalls and comes back with an error message that says something went wrong. Do t know what that would be because their error messages give you no clue. Nothing seems to work to fix it. I am beyond tired of this s***. Last Christmas before A 200 person party at the house Sonos has been working for days nonstop perfectly
Hello, I’m hoping to tap into the expertise of this forum. We are renovating our basement, currently in the framing stage. We would like 3 independent zones - 1. Gym, 2. Entertainment/Bar area, 3. Golf Simulator. Looking to use all Sonos products and wanted to get input from you all on the best way to setup. Correct me if I’m wrong in this layout:Gym - 2 Sonos in Ceiling Speakers Entertainment Area - 1 ARC, 2 in Ceiling Speakers, 1 Sub Golf Simulator - 1 Arc 2 in Ceiling Speakers, 1 SubControl room would require 3 Sonos Amps. This is the layout i’m thinking about:Much appreciate any insight to my flawed thinking.
